I love this clip. "It's not just that the media is biased, it's that (Trump) is giving them help and aid along the way!" Not even Fox News can maintain the idea that Trump's campaign is competently run.

Remember on the first or maybe second day of the DNC, Al Franken sat down with a bunch of reporters and their broke-rear end mics and straight up told them to cut the poo poo and start calling the Trump gang on their poo poo?

While I'm very glad that Trump is getting trashed by Hillary in the polls this week, Trump was actually leading her a week ago. Here's my question: what made those people who supported Trump no more than a few DAYS ago, suddenly change their minds? I mean yeah, yeah Trump said a whole bunch of noxious poo poo. So what? He's been spewing garbage like that ever since he started running (and for, you know, the the past 40 years). "I know Trump said he hated muslins, but I never thought he'd actually attack one!"

Trump being extraordinarily lovely, the GOP discovering the listen contained in "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" about Clinton at the worst possible moment for them, the shift to the general making this all more visible, etc...

emdash posted:Atlanta Journal-Constitution 2-way in Georgia: Clinton +4 Yeah and wasn't another poll a tie last week? Interestingly Wikipedia says the same company did polling back in May and back then Bernie lead Trump by five points, whereas Trump lead Hillary by four points, so in this company's results Clinton has moved up eight points in about three months. I still think Trump will win the state but it could be very close.

They've thrown their support behind a walking, talking personification of the seven deadly sins because to them Christianity is an identity, not a religion. A, um, Christian Identity, you might say.

You can only punch so far down before all but the most hateful of onlookers will go "whoa, steady on, that's a little much," and Trump, a (probable) billionaire who's in the running for the one of the most powerful political positions on Earth, trying to make nemeses out of a couple of civilians - and by immediately going after the wife, no less - left a bad taste in people's mouths. And that only got worse because Trump couldn't shut the gently caress up about it. That inciting incident seems to have caused a lot of people in the media and elsewhere to view Trump's campaign with a more critical eye, at least for the moment, and as we've all seen, the man doesn't do well with criticism. You've got the Democrats sticking firmly to the high road and the Republicans playing cowed, gutless lackeys to the first-act villain in a morality play about the nature of hubris.

While Clinton's obviously consolidated her base, another thing is that Clinton gave on-the-edge Republicans a bone by telling them 'come on, I know you love your party, but really?' at the same time as Trump went after a group you never, ever publically feud with because you're always going to lose, so you have a bunch of people who voted for guys like Kasich in the primary going "Well, I don't really like Hillary, but even if I can't really trust her with much, I can trust her to not be as bad as him." which has probably turned a strong bounce into "Oh my god everything is turning blue".

Basically, if you remember back to sixth grade science class, where you learned about constructive and destructive interference of light waves, Hillary's campaign has focused into a powerful laser beam. I think she'll maintain a lead, though not so dominant, over the next three months, and this week will be looked back upon as her high point. But I'd love to be wrong, and see her up the score.

I read that it's literally illegal for the federal government to send USD to Iran (which sounds a little odd but just plausible enough) so they had to use an intermediary and the money was in various currencies. Edit: Holy poo poo, I bet it's illegal to send dollars because of the Iran-Contra scandal. Anyway, it's in the original WSJ story. quote:Wooden pallets stacked with euros, Swiss francs and other currencies were flown into Iran on an unmarked cargo plane, according to these officials. The U.S. procured the money from the central banks of the Netherlands and Switzerland, they said. Regardless the video story was the bizarre thing - why the hell would the government even video it let alone release the video. Hey remember that time when the Bush admin sent billions of dollars by plane to Iraq and the money just disappeared? Sulphagnist fucked around with this message at 14:03 on Aug 5, 2016 |

Yeah, the money plane that was an obligated payment for a long-outstanding debt and made necessary by quirks of our relationship to Iran is real, the money plane that was a direct bribe for releasing hostages is not real, and the tweet doesn't acknowledge any difference between the two.
