An old coworker of mine accidentally forwarded a loving Monica Lewinski blowjob joke to our entire listserv the other day. I don't know how that poo poo happens either, but it does.

I get it if there is contact group that includes everyone like in a business email setting, but there's not a "all contacts" group on phones that I've seen unless you make one, so someone would have to deliberately add every contact to the text message if that's how it went down.
Or maybe it's a contact group he uses to forward political crap to everyone.

Get up, chief. We're just gettin' started.

It's the night of November 8th and Hillary Clinton is projected to win by an astounding margin. Donald Trump walks up to the podium for his concession speech, leans into the mic, and whispers only one sentence.

I had a dream last night that I was in Hillary Clinton's campaign headquarters as the final results came in and it turned out she'd won 49 states outright, Trump won 1 (don't know which state but it had11 electoral college votes) and it was totally awesome and that's my story for the day.

So are you all ready for a (possible) Clinton Foundation probe? It's the Daily Caller so take it with a grain of salt, since its Fox News 2.0:

http://dailycaller.com/2016/08/11/exclusive-joint-fbi-us-attorney-probe-of-clinton-foundation-is-underway/

quote:

The New York-based probe is being led by Preet Bharara, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York. Bharara’s prosecutorial aggressiveness has resulted in a large number of convictions of banks, hedge funds and Wall Street insiders.

I honestly don't think they are going to find anything, despite having a strong prosecutor lead the investigation. I mean the state department did say nothing unethical was found.

Do you really think Trump is going to concede at any point in this race and not try to drag out recounts and lawsuits blaming a "rigged" election for months after the fact?

My fear at this point is that Trump is so cartoonish, in the rush to mock him Democrats overlook the mood of anti elitism that supported him. He might lose so badly that politicos dismiss his supporters and in doing so invite a future Brexit moment.

Too many brown people in america for anything like Brexit to happen. Also loool at some state seriously trying to secede from the union.

You Caucasians are welcome for that btw.


The States most likely to try and secede are the ones that need the most government assistance so :shrug:

This is certainly possible. One can argue that something similar happened with Goldwater supporters in 1964.

Fortunately, demographic trends are not in favor of any kind of right-wing resurgence in the US any time soon.

"Sacrifices?!" Trump pivots in the door and just keeps pivoting, sliding off around the room, bouncing against walls. He pivots against your toilet, busting it up big time. You get the feeling he's trying to say something to you but he's pivoting at such a high velocity you just can't quite make it out. As he finally nails a window and falls out you think you hear him exclaim "I've sacrificed so much, that's what's so CRAZY about this" on the way down.

That's a poor read on the UK situation. The Tories won election specifically by pandering to Brexit voters - Cameron promised to hold the referendum to sap support from UKIP, etc. If the anti-elitist voters had actually lost, there wouldn't have been a Brexit vote at all. Also, like Dexo said, there's just not that much room to grow for Trumpist populism.

I saw CNN reporting that, supposedly, the FBI and DOJ had talked about the Clinton Foundation. What they talked about I don't know, as I had to leave for work before CNN got to that report.

It'll probably amount to nothing in the long-term.

I really genuinely don't understand how people in positions of political power don't get "hey, maybe I shouldn't get myself into sexually compromising positions or at least maybe not film it?"

State legislator isn't always a full-time gig, and most of the seats aren't that competitive. If you're in a deep red/blue district, all you've got to do to be State Senator is beat out a few town councillors in a primary once. Don't get me wrong, I know plenty of local and state leg. electeds who are sharp & savvy, but it's not always a requirement.

Plus don't forget that most of these guys are old fogeys who don't really get technology all that well, and whose views on sex were solidified back when intern banging contests were probably a real thing or whatever.

A dude in a leadership position should know better though.
