I don't think anybody was saying "oh my god a hack is likely to happen and change the result and we should definitely freak out about this", they were saying "voting machines are more technically vulnerable to hacking than they should be" (and maybe another person saying "I'm feeling so good about the election now that a Trump comeback seems even less plausible than Tom Clancy poo poo").

Can I just point out something:

Today, Republican Nominee Donald Trump suggested that his opponent was literally cheating on her husband and it is not even in the top three things people are discussing about him today. How loving crazy is that that "the candidate openly suggested that his opponent was cheating on her spouse" is just a minor news note.

2) How easy would it be for a determined alt-righter to make their way to the debate and ask an unscreened tin-foil conspiracy question or something amazingly rude from Clinton in an attempt to throw her off?

I think Hillary can handle having people yell conspiracy theories at her by now.

The questions are going to be screened enough that "Senator Clinton, why did you murder Vince Foster?" isn't going to get on.

But they are not going to do a lie detector test on them and even if they did lie detectors are bullshit.

I guess they make them sign some kind of contract and could sue them for a gazillion dollars if they ask something other than they said they would?

Senator Brooks beat another senator not for insulting him, but for insulting a family member who was a senator of another state (and he rightly deserved to be insulted). Trust me on this, I've done the research. I live in a town named after the shitbird.

No, it's great! Two things struck me: how that West Virginia politician said the same lunatic things she did but didn't get committed like she did; and that among other things persuaded her that she must be right. It's this election in a nutshell, to be honest (including the misogynism in the different treatment of a man in power and a woman who is not powerful) - although it obviously puts more weight on "economic anxiety" than is warranted for the Trump voting population at large.

And so you have a woman who was a victim of sexual harassment cheering for a sexual harasser. I just wish she'd gotten more help. Or maybe some things are beyond help.

Pretty loving good, especially since he seems to be betting it all on this last grasp for glory. Nothing will be normal for him ever again, everything will certainly be worse. His brand is practically worthless, no one except Z-listers want to associate with him, he's going to be labelled "the biggest loser" in all the papers, he's been exposed as a phony, litigation hasn't been favorable to him and it'll keep piling up, and they'll probably be passing legislation to prevent him from pulling his tax tricks again.

I'm reminded that when General Patton was paralyzed in an auto accident after World War II, his doctors told him that he would never be able to ride a horse again, possibly his favorite activity being an old cavalryman. Within two weeks, he was dead. You can just lose that will to live that rapidly that those health problems will

If Trump loses this November, he'll be dead by December.

Holy poo poo, NBC News has some great takes on the October Surprise of Trump.

I mean this line alone; god drat:

quote:

The combination of a multiple damaging stories, all made dramatically worse by the candidate's impulsive response, may be without precedent. It's as if Dukakis were photographed riding in the tank, saw the mocking news coverage, then climbed back into the tank and drove cross-country with Willie Horton riding shotgun as his own staff begged him to pull over.

There are 700 new posts so I might have missed it, but I saw somewhere that Trump couldn't sue the NYT over this story because if he did his taxes would be made available as evidence? Is that true? Because if that's true I'm going to do a little dance.

While deplorable, the first ones actually legal so long as they're not breaking any fire arm laws and sticking to just protest. They're fuckers but they're legal fuckers.

Doing that same poo poo isn't legal at polls because it's voter intimidation.

This wasn't a nice exchange. You have to remember the Republicans were trying to pass an amendment to the Constitution banning gay marriage. So Edwards essentially saying congratulations on your gay daughter was a wonderfully assholish thing to do.
