Trump the embodiment of all the GOP's horrible impulses. He's their id laid bare for all to see. Their voters flocked to him, disregarding all his lack of qualifications to, as Freep displays, worship him as their new God. Their base is more loyal to him than they are the Republicans as a whole. So not only can the GOP not win with him in the public eye, but trying to denounce him and sever will cost them the main support they have left. There is no positive outcome for them for the foreseeable future and it's all their own fault for not crushing him when they had the chance. Their greed, hatred, swindling, and denial of reality are finally coming home to roost and there is nothing they can do about it. Trump could very well kill the GOP and the world will he better for it.

Trump campaign fired their Virginia campaign chair for organizing a protest outside the RNC. Someone leak this to Freep so they have to decide if they're angry at the RNC for requiring protest, the chair for going off half-cocked, or Donald for betraying his man.

I would be hugely surprised if the 2020 election is not either a tight race or a republican landslide. Through the lens of history, and with the dislike for Hillary in fresher memory, a guy like Ryan will look like he was a proper politician trying his best.

It's not too early to celebrate the death of the GOP. The mainstream Republicans are distancing themselves for Trump. Paul Ryan is admitting Trump will lose. Mitch refuses to comment on Trump. Meanwhile, dozens more have unendorsed and/or outright denounced him. Meanwhile, Trump and his spokespeople are making GBS threads on the GOP. We have open political civil war right now. Freep only gives us insight into the Trump fanbase. They are infuriated. This is their worst nightmare come true. They've been talking about it happening for months, and here it is. Freep is burning every single GOP bridge in sight. His active and involved fans are going to act the same way. I don't think we can safely predict what's going to happen long term, other than the GOP of a decade from now surely not looking anything like the GOP does today. Either the nutters will take over, or the nutters will create a third party. In either case, this is going to pull off enough support that the GOP is going to be losing at the national level for years. I'm currently betting that Paul Ryan will attempt to eject the nutters and won't block the Clinton administration at every turn so that he can look good to a moderate base in 2020. But sometimes I'm also an optimist. Bobulus posted:Trump campaign fired their Virginia campaign chair for organizing a protest outside the RNC.

When in meetings of mixed gender, men consistently both over-estimated how many women were present and how much of the time women were talking compared to men. Women taking less than a third of the time made men feel like the women were talking half of the time instead. An example from real life, last night Trump complained about Hillary consistently getting more time (only to be rebuffed by the moderators twice) when in reality he was the one to speak longer. When you're accustomed to being the majority, getting equality instead of special treatment can make it seem like you're being oppressed. We've seen this from the right wing nuts over and over and over in the past few years. Christians, bigots, white people ... Their protests are only going to get worse. Let's hope that they keep themselves to the internet.

From The Republican Crisis (Nat Review still soiling britches) posted by freeper pissant Yup, it's a National Review article where they again slam Trump for being an idiot. They call on Republicans to distance themselves from Trump and save the House majority through whatever means they can. So, you know, what's already happening. I presume these are the names of important people. quote:Bitch Dowry and Bonah Oldturd are desperately trying to resurrect the "Trump is done" narrative that last night's debate emphatically killed. quote:To: pissant Looks like I'm gonna end up bolding everything this time. quote:To: pissant From the didn't-even-read-the-excerpt department, quote:To: pissant quote:To: sagar quote:To: TakebackGOP I should mention that wikileaks is letting out a slow trickle of stuff from Hillary's campaign manager. A few days ago, it was a preliminary examination on the then-likely Republican field that concluded any GOPe candidate is a threat, so anything that can push a nut into center stage is best. Today it was another examination that concluded Donald Trump would give her the least amount of trouble winning, even over extremists like Cruz. Trump's fans gave Hillary exactly what she wanted. The correct response is to be angry at getting duped into it. When they uncover this one, their response, instead, will be to conclude that there's even more Democrat-MSM collaboration than they suspect and thus grow even more extreme in their media shunning views. Hopefully I'll find that thread and my prediction will be true. Anyway, back to freep making GBS threads on the National Review quote:To: pissant quote:To: nopardons I mean look at this poo poo. quote:To: utahagen I kind of wonder what Bernie would have done against Trump. quote:To: pissant They're using "quisling" a lot lately. quote:To: pissant Denial state: river quote:To: Covenantor Original formatting. quote:To: Gluteus Maximus; nopardons; pissant I was going to finish with that ... opus ... but quote:To: Gluteus Maximus

From Folks, I am Discouraged (Vanity) posted by freeper 2nd Amendmentthe OP posted:Fellow Freepers, I need some encouragement about the 2016 Presidential Election. I've got the same sinking feeling that I had before Obama's 2 elections. I've stated before that Trump was not my 1st choice for the Republican nomination. But he won and I wholeheartedly endorse his campaign. All major media outlets (including Fox) has actively come out against him. A 12 yr old "hot mike" slang conversation is being used to destroy him. Paul Ryan and a host of other establishment Republicans are working to elect Hillary Clinton. Even after a brave and domineering debate performance the talking heads like Rove put him almost double digit down to one of the most corrupt individuals in American History. Americans seem content to pack the Supreme Court with people who don't believe in law. They are about to elect a President who set the Mideast aflame. She believes Christians only have the right to espouse their beliefs in a Church. SisterK and Stars and Stripes have faithfully that America wakes up before we leap into this precipice of moral extinction. I've said all this to say that I need encouragement. My fellow Christians say that I should not fret because God is in control. But I still worry about the pain that is about to reign down upon our beloved America. I know Donald Trump is flawed like all of us but he really believes in fighting for the neglected people in our country. Please give me some perspective on the next 20 some days ti the election.

Falwell wrote in Breitbart that the backlash from Friday's tape was manufactured by the GOPe, in case you were wondering where that came from. It's opinion, not fact, but, well, Breitbart. It should still be pointed out that Falwell and a bunch of other evangelical leaders are still in favor of Trump. This stands in direct opposition to everything that anyone might have expected from the evangelical bloc in any previous election. I sincerely hope that the remains of the GOP stop pandering to them and they're forced to admit their status as Deplorables.

quote:I know it's suzie again, so her knowledge of history is about zero. But what was Columbus popular for? He discovered the new world? Vikings did long before him, so why don't we have a viking day instead? I'd totally be on board with that. I think Columbus was a dick and Vikings are much cooler (though not angels either), but the Viking arrival in Vinland had very little historical impact, and Columbus' arrival had massive historical impact, so if we're measuring the value of events by impact, hands-down Columbus' arrival is far more significant. It's like if some guy had drawn the same conclusions as Newton for the three laws of motion, but done it a century earlier, but the early guy just wrote it down in his journal and it didn't impact anyone at all, and his book turned up centuries later after Newton had already had his impact. The Vikings going to Vinland (as far as I understand) had very little impact on the global conception of geography; either their findings didn't really spread outside their own circles, or is just got filed as "yeah, there's an Iceland B and Iceland C yet further out" without any serious impact. I'm not saying we should have a holiday for Columbus, just noting that the Vikings' time in Newfoundland is cool and interesting but had little impact on the overall course of history, compared to the massive effects Columbus' accidentally smacking into a Caribbean island did.

So as I mentioned earlier, the reason I didn't post yesterday is because I was too goddamn out of my mind after what Trump pulled. If you're reading this post after November 9, 2016, could you do the thread a favor and quote just this first line? Memories are good, especially when they're so goddamn bad. As a refresher, or if you are reading this years from now for some reason (goddamn you must hate yourself a lot) within I think an hour of the second debate between Trump and Clinton, Trump called the press into his green room to get them to take shots of "debate prep." What the press was met with wasn't debate prep, it was Trump flanked by Kathleen Wiley, Juanita Broaddrick, Kathy Shelton, and Paula Jones. Most Americans of age will remember Paula Jones. She showed up in a gray baseball cap and a hoodie. At the age of twelve, Kathy Shelton was raped. Hillary Clinton served as defense council for her accused rapist. Hillary successfully defended him. She has since then been accused at laughing at managing to win the case. Juanita Broaddrick accused Bill Clinton of raping her in the late '70s. At one point she gave a deposition that no sexual contact occurred. Kathleen Wiley accused Bill Clinton of groping her in the Oval Office. During the Ken Starr investigation, Linda Tripp testified that it was consensual and that she'd been flirting. The allegations were not investigated. They spoke with prepared statements to the press, and then the press was escorted out. Hours earlier, the Trump staff left for the debate without the press, with an excuse of having to change the schedule. Nobody saw this specific set of actions coming. Trump had been telegraphing for weeks that he was going to bring up Bill's previous indiscretions. There was near universal agreement that this was a really bad idea. Regardless, the campaign got their little press stunt up on Facebook, and that's where the MSM broke it. They were seated in the general audience at the debate. It was later revealed that the Trump campaign wanted them seated in the family box. This would have meant that they would have walked out and met with Bill and Chelsea. The debate staff refused to allow this. It is not clear how, if at all, it impacted Hillary. Her theme for the night was "when they go low, you go high," and she generally deflected or ignored anything Trump said (including the four ladies) while otherwise trying to act like a serious candidate. Many were hoping for a decapitation shot instead of just letting him continue stepping on landmines. Oh well. That night, it was reported that the Trump campaign is infuriated by the seating and they've threatened to not do the third debate. It was also reported that Trump would fly on the plane with the press corps for the first time ever, returning from the debate. Once everyone was seated, preparations were made for him to board... and then he did not and the door was closed. The Trump campaign is currently in gently caress THE WORLD mode. They're angry and are hitting everywhere that they can - the GOPe, the RINOs, and especially the media. But let's go back to those moments when they pulled the stunt. I want to know, for some sick reason, what freep thought as it was happening. Of interest, their live thread has 3000 replies. Ours has 4500. From [Live Thread] 2nd Presidential Debate Schedule –Time: 9pm ET (8pm CT, 7pm MT, 6pm PT) posted by freeper jennychase It begins. quote:To: JamesP81 quote:To: jennychase quote:To: jennychase quote:To: jennychase quote:To: CAluvdubya quote:To: jennychase Seeing him is what made me drink last night.

From The first post-hot mic poll is out, and it suggests that Donald Trump is in deep, deep trouble posted by freeper Marinerthe article posted:Even before The Washington Post reported on a 2005 recording of Donald Trump making crude comments about exploiting his celebrity to sexually assault women, Hillary Clinton's campaign was on the upswing. Her strong performance in the first presidential debate had pushed her national polling numbers up fairly quickly. Not as quickly as after the party conventions, mind you, but even before a new NBC-Wall Street Journal poll released on Monday, she led by about five points. Those are very, very powerful numbers. Those are blowout-like-we-haven't-seen-since-Mondale numbers. Those may be take-back-the-House numbers. Oh wait, I forgot the keywords: 2016polls; bias; compost; grope; scampoll; skewedpolls quote:While the data is obviously skewed, don't be under the illusion that Trump did not suffer major losses since the first debate. Motherfucker, someone on twitter mansplained a woman's own genitals to her. Do you even know what you sound like? "Don't patronize" is a scratch of the surface. quote:To: Mariner quote:To: Mariner Citation needed. Oh, in another recent study, married men that are voting Trump also assume that their wives are voting Trump and are wrong by a nontrivial margin. quote:To: Mariner quote:To: Mariner quote:To: Lurkinanloomin quote:To: Mariner In case you need a reminder how incredibly freep is right now, just read this. quote:To: Mariner This one is also as all hell quote:To: Mariner Apropos of nothing, quote:To: <1/1,000,000th% It should be pointed out that the LA Times tracking poll is the only one showing Trump with a national lead right now. quote:To: Kazan quote:To: Mariner quote:
Silence all dissenters! quote:To: Mariner

I mean look at this poo poo. quote:To: EQAndyBuzz The surrogates are trying this and falling flat on their face, for the record. quote:To: Sivad Yup... Trump should take the high road. I almost wish he could.

From This election is about Good vs. Pure Evil posted by freeper pboyingtonthe article posted:[...]Trump has started a movement that simply cannot be stopped. The globalists can’t destroy us all; although, no doubt, they will attempt to do so. We will take this country back and restore it to the rightful place it belongs as the City on the Hill no matter what we have to do. We will not allow this nation to be drawn and quartered by American traitors and foreign interests who wish to only line their pockets, while they destabilize the world and take down America as they hide out in gated communities on tropical atolls, while sycophants like House Speaker Paul Ryan are at their beck and call. quote:To: pboyington quote:To: pboyington quote:To: pboyington quote:To: pboyington quote:To: Mjreagan quote:To: pboyington quote:To: Talisker Yeah, uh, freep is getting kind of scary.

This one is impossible to follow internally, but there's some gold here so why not. From Twitter post Campbell Brown, Dan Senor's wife secured Billy Bush tape a linkless yet not vanity thread posted by freeper Sybeck1 Yeah, no link, but an apology for not having one. It turns out that this is more stupid Mike Cernovich bullshit. Cernovich really likes the whole GOP vs Trump war thing that may or may not be going on. He's also a completely detached nutter, of the freep variety. Anyway, https://twitter.com/Cernovich/status/785651411098808321 and then https://twitter.com/Mosheh/status/785681847208607744 Dan Senor worked for the 2012 Romney campaign and maybe worked for W? quote:To: Sybeck1 That loving tagline quote:To: Sybeck1 With an image of Ryan, Romney, and someone else that I assume is Senor, quote:To: Sybeck1 quote:To: bob_esb Just look at that URL. Not the article at the link, but the URL itself. quote:To: sissyjane quote:To: boycott quote:To: MNDude quote:To: Flycatcher Hey, remember that "Swiss money" conspiracy from the other day? Oh, also, what the gently caress? quote:To: BunnySlippers quote:To: Sybeck1 quote:To: jersey117 I love that they're asking these questions.

FYI Romney losing was their last chance at staying in the gop. So was McCain. Freep anger will heal my broken heart after the Cubs get womped out of the NLDS on Thursday.

One of the most important rules to remember as a writer, and as a social analyst, is that nobody ever sees themselves as the villain. All of history's greatest monsters have gone to their graves convinced up and down that they have done the most righteous and good thing.

If they are any indication, Prestor Jane was right: we will get real terrorists after the Orange One falls. Things are going to get dark next month.

Things are going to get dark next month. The Rascal Rebellion will be disavowed as a false flag. Really, though, maybe a group of terrorists will take over an US Forest Service building closed for winter and that's it.

McGlockenshire posted:So as I mentioned earlier, the reason I didn't post yesterday is because I was too goddamn out of my mind after what Trump pulled. If you're reading this post after November 9, 2016, could you do the thread a favor and quote just this first line? Memories are good, especially when they're so goddamn bad. Savin this for later. It's telling just how crazy this election is that I can't completely dismiss the theory that the pussygate tape was released by someone in the GOP as some harebrained scheme to sabotage their own candidate so they could justify cutting Trump loose.
