The Christian justification for Trump is pretty simple. Hillary is pro unborn baby murdering and not anti-Islamic enough. All Trump ever did was call a bimbo a bimbo and maybe a few bimbos cast unwarranted stones at him. So what if he's lewd? At least he doesn't support sinful same sex marriages.

It's not a mystery. Sure some people might act holier than him, but as Jesus said, there are weightier issues of God's law which are more important than simply acting polite.

"Ey, you guys were just killin' Muslims which is fine. But THE EEEEVIL CLINTONS HAD TO BOMB YOU DIDN'T THEY? Vote for Donald J. Trump, and you can commit genocide in Kosovo and Sarajevo and wherever else you want I don't care."

This wouldn't make me so angry if for a second I thought Trump actually gave a poo poo about Serbia or anyone else in the Balkans. But he doesn't. He's just spewing total bullshit he heard from some far-right rear end in a top hat who is advising him.

Republican leadership is too out of touch and full of themselves to give a poo poo about the subtle parts of running a modern tech savvy campaign.

Not only that, but he literally is using his Twitter to just poo poo on all the dumb things his dad says and make fun of him. He's also apparently getting a terrible, withdrawn upbringing and I feel really bad for him. I hope he grows up better than his dad, 100% legit. If he stays on the current trajectory he's on he'll be a cool kid.

For a second I forgot about his kid and thought you were talking about the ten year old he wanted to date in ten years. I didn't even read the details of that story. How long ago was it? Did she grow up hot? Did he eventually date her? If not then does America really need a president who doesn't follow through with his plans?

“Go win the Heimlich Trophy!”

I know enough RNC/Republican junior staffers to know that this likely means a bunch of early 20-somethings in bad cubicles got told to look into Trump, found a bunch of his poo poo like The Apprentice, The Art of the Deal, and that stuff and just assumed he was like Romney or any other "serious businessman" Republican. I'm a child of the 90s, and we had really no conception of who he was other than the "You're Fired" guy up until this campaign, and finding all of the scummy poo poo he does requires almost having to be an Ernest Cline "I love the 80's" type of person. No intern right now cares who the gently caress Howard Stern was or would know to look there without advance warning since Howard Stern hasn't been relevant in like 20 years, and the Access Hollywood tape literally just popped up on an NBC shelf and wasn't public prior. His worst stuff is so embedded in a layer of 80's/90's pop culture that asking the internet generation to find it isn't prudent, which is absolutely why your typical cursory RNC search missed. A lot of his court records are sealed and would seem like they had some level of plausible deniability without the heavy amounts of context around them. Maybe the Miss Universe/Miss Teen stuff should've been found, but a lot of this honestly can be a generation gap issue that Republicans were too stupid to account for in how they likely farmed this out.

I had a look at the NYT's branching path graphic, and here's a fun observation: They're no longer using the 10 swingiest states to model it. If they did so, that would leave only 1 winning path for Trump. Instead, they're using 9 dem-leaning states and Iowa, so that it's actually possible for the graphic to show a network of branches on both sides.

I feel like VA is pretty segregated. You got NoVA/Richmond/VA Beach (maybe) that are liberal and the rest is very Republican/Tea Party. Not sure it matters much down ballot.

You're probably thinking Norfolk and Hampton there, historically very heavily black cities with a long heritage of educated minority citizens, which the surrounding counties did everything in their power to choke out. Ever wondered why the City of Virginia Beach is so goddamn huge? It's because Princess Anne County turned itself wholesale into an independent city in order to prevent Norfolk and the spooky urban ferals therein from annexing any of its precious white bodily fluids land. The same happened with Chesapeake (Norfolk County), Suffolk (Nansemond County), and Newport News (Warwick County). The Hampton Roads area is a loving horror show of segregation and suburban/urban hatred. A leading government figure in Virginia Beach-- I can't remember if it was one of the city council members or a planning commission chair or something-- recently commented regarding a proposed extension of light rail into Virginia Beach (to the seaside, allowing the spooky urban ferals to reach the ocean) "if people [read: millennials] want urbanism and density, they should go live in Norfolk."

The only reason the county-becoming-city thing didn't happen in Richmond (Henrico and Chesterfield are key contenders) and Northern Virginia (Arlington, Loudoun, and Fairfax could do it) is because by the time it became relevant, suburban counties got powerful enough in the General Assembly to just ban annexation, neat and tidy and no ugly giant independent cities needed. The kicker: they got the cities to agree by offering them state funds for police forces. Guess which end of the bargain got cancelled just a decade or two down the line, and which is still standing!

Excellent post.

Follow up question : What would be the time line for an actual start of case, discovery, depositions, and whatnot? Would there be any action on this before the election?

Were this a normal suit, it'd be unlikely that we reach discovery before the election. Once Trump actually files a complaint, there's a period of time for filing 12b motions (or their state equivalent), which are various motions arguing that the complaint is brought against the wrong person, brought in the wrong place, isn't a valid basis for a suit, etc. Once that time is passed then there's a case management conference to plan discovery and such, and then we get to discovery starting. Given the current backlog of our courts this could take weeks, or months.

However, it's possible, should all the parties and the judge wishes, to move faster than the timeline allows (e.g. waiving 12b motions, filing them sooner), so while it's very unlikely that we get anything before the election, it's not impossible. And then AFTER the election we get to keep the popcorn out.

Definitely. What gets me is it's entirely Trump's fault. He must know he only has a few more lucid years left and instead of spending this precious time with his kid he's wasting it on a doomed vanity run. In the process he's forcing the kid to watch him become the most reviled man in America. It's just so pointlessly self-destructive.
