EXTREMELY PISSED AT THE DNC
My father is one of NH's 400 states reps and today he received in the mail a book called Clean House by Tom Fillan(?) of Justice Watch sent by Tom Fillan(?) or some pac he runs.

I vaguely remember Justice Watch being some poo poo far right site due to this thread, so I threw it in the post office trash. Thanks DnD Goons.

By the way - that "dead even in Maine" poll from earlier came from the Maine People's Resource Center. I don't want to denigrate the good people of the MPRC, but they're likely to not have the methodology/resources of a larger polling firm, so I wouldn't put TOO much stock in them.

They have a C rating on 538.

I retract every theory about Trump being a mere con man. He's a con man AND a real fascist. That's kind of terrifying.

"methodology/resources" is a poor argument. You don't need a bunch of people to have a good methodology. A large number of people doesn't suddenly make you better at math.

It's a perfectly legit poll that you don't like the results of. It's no more or less legit than the HRC +5 result in Florida or the DJT +1 in NC from other outfits.

Worrying about the methodology or weighting of a single poll is incredibly unproductive (unless, of course, it's some batshit insane thing like Wikileaks attempting to say that a poll of their followers on Twitter spoke for the American electorate)

Trump probably didn't read Hitler's speeches for his hot take on Jews (I'm sorry), but for a cargo cult-ish "Hitler was good at influencing people so he has something to teach me" reason. It's just that he was middle-aged when it was going on, not sixteen.

What are the potential penalties for self-dealing? Is it just a fine+additional tax from the IRS or are there potential prison time?

Hitler actually hated public speaking, but he practiced to become good at it. Obviously he became good at it, but what he did with it was utter poo poo.

It's real. Vanity Fair reported it years ago and he was like "Hurr durr my Jewish friend gave it to me." They contacted the friend and he was like "yea I'm not Jewish." Quotes are approximate but I'm phone posting and too lazy to look it up.

Some Hispanics can find Trump's anti-Muslim message appealing despite his anti-Latino message too; maybe they think he means "the bad ones." There are plenty examples to show that stupidity does not look at ethnicity.

It's totally this.
Hispanic Trump supporters I know and have heard are for Trump because he'll stop the food stamps and section 8 housing authority to get rid of the riff-raff / welfare queens.

quote:

What Pisses me off is when I go to HEB and the fat Mexican girl in front buys several hundreds of dollars of frozen junk food with a litter yes litter of kids while I count in my head to see if I have enough money in my account....then I go to my vehicle and she's driving a brand new car with...Mexican car plates....GO TRUMP...

Jealous of kids having food that keeps for more than a week, a person having money for a good vehicle thanks to food assistance and can't loving basic math, what a winner.

Probably the one major link between Hitler's style and Trump's is that Hitler believed you wanted to use simple language and short, sharp rhetoric to make your point so it could be easily understood.

In Trump's case I doubt it's an intentional stylistic choice so much as him just being a dumbshit, though.
