We're repairing relations with Cuba after all. If anything this just proves how forward thinking Trump is". They'd have to admit normalizing relations with Cuba is good but they'll do it to protect their guy. End result: Thousand years of liberal darkness.

socialsecurity posted:Did he literally lie about saying he was smart for not paying federal taxes right after it happened in front of like 80 million people? It's not a lie if you believe it. Like, I bet if you had Donald Trump hooked up to a lie detector (a magic one that actually works, not a real world one) he wouldn't set off the thing once in the whole debate, because he legitimately believes everything he says is true even if it contradicts something he's been saying for years or even something he said five minutes ago. His brain just will not let him ever think he was wrong about something, so he rewrites his own memory, as well as the facts around him, to believe whatever wacky thing has just entered his head.

Maddow also dug up footage of Trump telling a Cuban-American group he would never do business with Cuba seven months after doing business with Cuba so that should help as far as the "It's not a scandal until someone's lying on videotape" angle.

Every time a Trump supporter is confronted with something he had lied about or did illegal, IMMEDIATELY they say, "Well, Hillary did...  " Trump could murder school children and his supporters would say "Well, Hillary did..."

By all metrics he HAS gotten away with literally anything. Even if he went to jail tomorrow it's after 70 years of staggering getting-away-with-anything.

Apparently Trump was saying he'd never break the embargo at the same time that he was breaking the embargo. So it'll be fun watching his surrogates squirm over that one.

That's what I mean. His psychosis is such that it's being fueled by the success that he has had, so he literally can't think of anything that will allow him to fail because thus far he hasn't (nevermind that he has suffered several significant failures in his life, he can just ignore that entirely and make up the narrative that he's been a 100% winner for his entire life)

Hey, so a quick question about actually voting: My absentee ballot arrived today, and having not lived in my home state for almost a decade, there are a lot of local races that I haven't had any visibility on. Are there any good voting guides out there to provide a quick rundown of the different candidates on a ballot? The national level stuff is easy enough to research, but my Ohio ballot has about two pages of judges, and I'd like to at least make a token effort to pick the "not a total sleazeball" option if it exists. Every campaign website naturally depicts its candidate as a steely eyed master of judicial propriety, so a simple google trawl doesn't work very well. I found the League of Women Voter's guide, http://www.vote411.org, which seems really helpful but half the candidates don't have any info there. In the past I feel like the Cleveland Plain Dealer has done some good election guides, but I can't seem to find anything this time around. Is it maybe just too early? Do I need to wait a while? What if I get hit by a meteorite before I mail my ballot?

Not every dem is a winner. My State Rep, (IL if your curious) Kate Cloonen (D), is running a vile ad campaign against her opponent Parkhurst, because as a defense attorney Parkhurst defended a child rapist.
