Look at these poor, dummy slobs chatting away about some loser food like potatoes. I like people who discuss steak. We need more steak in America, big, beautiful steaks, the best steaks. Michelle Obama's brainwashed, she's brainwashed American children to think about potato! I mean, potato! Can you believe it? It's horrible. We're gonna make American schools great again, steak for every child, the best steak, there's no problem there I guarantee it! Loser Obamas and their potatoes. Losers who hate steak! They hate America!

Those Obamas, they're all, I mean you know, they're all starch. Am I right? I'm right. You know I'm right. Starchy starch, bad starch. But I'm beef, baby. I'm Trump steaks. The best beef from the best AMERICAN cattle. Cattle like you, right? Good American cattle, only the best, you know, catrle, steak and potatoes and green beans and some sauce but no potatoes and green beans because, yeah, am I right? I'm right. You know I'm right.

And since Hillary and Obama are the founder and MVP of ISIS, I guess we'll just have to try them in military court! Along with the rest of the Democratic party since they all must have connections. And while we're at it we might as well try all those journalists since they're all so unpatriotic.

I really want an interviewer/Trump staffer to try and convince Trump of the virtues of IngSoc.

There's too many variables to do much more than wistfully dream about Speaker Pelosi and President Clinton taking shots as they work out the best way to pass full communism on January 20th.

Best case scenario is Trump supporters are demoralized by Hillary's polling lead and don't show up to vote, Johnson's numbers collapse as people enter the polling booth and realize there's not point in not voting Hillary while saying they totally voted for Johnson, Democrats across the country come out in record numbers because they're voting for a winner and this is especially true in deep red areas where they usually have no impact, the stories of millions of Mexicans finally getting their citizenship in order to vote are true and indicative of an unprecedented surge in pro-Democratic Latino voting where the percentage of eligible Latino voters who actually vote surges to over 90%, an as early voting starts Trump holds a press conference where he calls all his supporters loving idiots who fell for his bullshit and couldn't tell that he was just filming the greatest season of Reality TV the world will ever know.

They give a non-answer to it, really. There's still an underlying false equivalency going on in that they're not saying any of the stories are bullshit.

The Anti-Clinton stories they cite are the same old bullshit warmed up in the far right hatesphere and served as fresh again, which they mention but give a pass to:

The Article posted:

By contrast, the implications surrounding the Clinton emails exhumed by court order are a routine species of scandal stamp-collecting. And they are the fruit of conservative activists and advocates who have been generating anti-Clinton material since her husband was president.

Do they have something to say? Yes. A case to make? Yes. And it should not matter that they have been at it for a generation — often repackaging and remarketing the same accusations with only a sprinkling of new material. It is not always a waste of time to replow old furrows. After all, tens of millions of young Americans who will vote this fall do not remember the scandals of the 1990s. They happened or were alleged when the millennials were in grade school.

That article is crafted from headline to teaser to content as 'Maybe the truth is in the middle' weaseling.

Does Alex Jones have something to say? Yes. Does he have a case to make? Yes.

Is that case absolute bullshit? Yes.

Which would of course go horribly wrong, and he'd end up either falling on his rear end or chopping Pence's foot off. He would then either try to ban turkeys altogether or possibly nuke Turkey in retaliation.

To stay neutral in Trump vs. Clinton you have to distort the truth, because he's a fascist piece of poo poo campaigning on open race hate, and she isn't.

The facts compel you to take a side if you aren't a gutless piece of poo poo, or too stupid to understand what's happening.

It's a contradiction of the idea that government funded media would solve all our problems in that field.

There's also a mythos of investigative journalism that basically sums up to "I interrupted [Politician]'s speech and everyone stood up and clapped" which obviously doesn't work in reality.

There is very little rationale and logic in regard to who someone supports politically. It's mostly emotional, and most people *choose* someone and then defend that person to intellectual death. Spin, spin, spin, and any criticism of that person is tantamount to a personal and insulting attack on themselves.
