Trump is currently losing white women by 20 points.

Women vote at a higher rate than men.

Clearly this means good things for the Trump campaign.

Red, White, and Black color scheme (especially with sharp angles) tends to read as fascist because that was the color scheme of the Nazis, and a bunch of "bad guy" organizations (especially fictional ones) use that same color scheme.

For anyone locked in a bomb shelter in fear that the dreaded Trump pivot will come any day now, you can come out.

quote:

But anyone thinking that Mr. Trump is going to suddenly adopt a more cautious, strategic approach yearned for by election-conscious congressional Republicans is likely to be disappointed. He wrinkled his nose in disgust at the mere mention of the word �pivot,� though he conceded he wants to get on to broader discussion of the economy.

In his view, it is clear that his way has worked and the establishment�s has failed. After all, he vanquished every senator, governor or former governor who challenged him for the party�s nomination.

This article : http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/appeals-court-no-2nd-amendment-right-concealed-carry

Says Californian state gov didn't want to give someone a concealed carry license as they didn't meet the state requirements, so the person took it to court.

I just checked Fox news and there not calling for the violent overthrowing of the government, so either they haven't heard, or are still in denial.

A quarter of the island�s 3.5 million people will probably get the Zika virus within a year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and eventually 80 percent or more may be infected.

�I�m very concerned,� Dr. Thomas R. Frieden, the C.D.C. director, said in an interview after a recent three-day visit to Puerto Rico. �There could be thousands of infections of pregnant women this year.�

And of Course...

quote:

The C.D.C. has a permanent lab on the island, and is importing staff and equipment to do 100,000 blood tests a year, five times as many as it can do now. The agency has committed $25 million to the fight and has asked Congress for $225 million more as part of President Obama�s $1.8 billion Zika package, now stalled in Congress.

I cannot imagine a situation where 80% of the population is infected with this disease , holy poo poo.

Forums poster 'boom boom boom' went from asking for an unbiased source on the Hillary email thing to then comparing her to the Bush Administration and then parroting the standard right wing talking point of how she's "under investigation for something."

Somehow I think his original question may not have been asked in good faith.

Some other dude was the one who compared her to the Bush administration, and yeah, she is literally under investigation for something

Of all the evil nefarious poo poo the GOP has done in recent years, saying no to a few billion to research a vaccine/treatment options for Zika is possibly the worst. This is the sort of thing that justifies violence.
