Have Some Flowers! posted:Looking at Five Thirty Eight this morning, seems like the latest round of polls came in hard against Clinton. NYTimes has her up a percentage point from last night, 270-to-Win doesn't show her performance in any battleground state decreasing yet (including GA and AZ), and RCP has her up .1 from last night. Not sure about 538's methodology here. So, any way, back to it:  .

Well he is an out and proud gay, and his mother was a whore in order to survive at one point. He doesn't hide any of these facts and isn't ashamed, and his mother in interviews says it was a bad time in her life and she's proud of her family for making it through.

Demon Of The Fall posted:In other policing news, a mentally handicapped man sleeping in his yard has cops in armored vehicles and machine guns roll up mistaking him for a carjacking suspect. When he runs towards one of their tanks after they throw flash grenades and shoot rubber bullets at him, he's shot dead. The worst part is that at the same time they were blasting this guy away from a bearcat they were arresting the actual carjacking suspect two houses down. Their response in the aftermath was to report for weeks in the media that this guy was a second suspect and their shooting was justified when they knew all along it was horseshit. The victim was known locally in the neighborhood as "Lil Bo Peep" because he was so timid and shy

James Garfield posted:Hillary's probability of getting EC-screwed is higher because Trump will probably lose the popular vote, and you can't get EC-screwed if you lose the popular vote. That indicates that (as the polls stand today, and understanding that this is likely to change with any new polls) Trump has a structural advantage. A tied popular vote would go to Trump.

It's interesting because the Clinton campaign basically agreed to cede all media cycles to Trump, and it's loving murdering him. Like, have you heard poo poo about the Clinton campaign besides that one guy getting into her rally? The release small statements about whatever giant gently caress up he just did, but basically they are just staying out of his way and letting him kill himself in the media, and focus on exploiting his historically weak campaign org by forcing them to defend GA, AZ and now UT. https://twitter.com/joshtpm/status/763399383186538500 Oh man can you imagine if Christie was the VP candidate right now

Seriously, what's beautiful about what Clinton is doing is that she has conceded ABSOLUTELY NOTING to the right to peel their votes away from Trump. She got Blomberg to poo poo on Trump while conceding exactly ZERO planks of the party platform. Her entire pitch to them is, "We agree on nothing, but I'm not the pumpkin pissbaby of chaos, so vote for more or you're an idiot."

Dexo posted:Hillary really really really wants to crush the everliving poo poo out of the GOP doesn't she. Yes, because she is well aware of what it means to win a historic landslide victory against the guy who scored a record-breaking victory in the GOP primary. This is who the GOP nominated, and not by a small margin. Crushing him like a rat under a truck tire can be spun as her taking the best the GOP could muster and beating the poo poo out of him so badly she cracks the GOP hold on states they've held for 52 years. They hosed up and they hosed up bad, and if she's anywhere near wise she's going to punish them ruthlessly for it.

Some of the guys in the Trump thread regularly call Trump campaign offices in swing states and they are still being redirected to un-set-up voice mailboxes. Like in FL and PA, it's crazy. One guy signed up to volunteer, just as a test, in OH and IN and he still hasn't heard from them. He isn't even getting campaign fundraising emails, it's insane. If you contact any Hillary campaign organ, give them your email and say "I'm interested in volunteering", they'll never leave you alone. It's bonkers. I know that in the primary, Trump repeatedly violated every precept of campaign conventional wisdom and won, and that's made us a little Grand Pronouncement shy, but if campaign organization, logistics and strategy matter at all, Trump is hosed. He's behind in this area in ways you can't just snap your fingers and fix, it's something you had to start building ages ago. If campaign fundamentals actually don't matter, the country is hosed because every election is going to be like this.

The list is simply names, with no corroborating evidence, and no official charges have been filed against any of the people named.

Bruh I donated like 10 dollars to Hillary's campaign once in like april or may, after it was clear she was winning the nomination I had to create a gmail filter and separate folder to stop all the freaking emails I'm receiving. Really glad I decided not to give them my phone number.
