I'm like 94% sure toddandclare is a backstopped honeypot specifically for trapping Internet sperglords that are shut ins that also online date enough to have already burnt out on major dating sites and desperate enough to go for this.

It pretty much as all the hallmarks of a honeypot. Now if it's from a state actor or not, who knows. But I will say that from the level of writing, cultural references, that it's the brainchild of someone NOT with dyslexia, very well-educated, and was more than just 2 people.


But hey, I could be wrong about this since it's been 8 years since I worked in the intelligence community in any formal capacity, but tricks never change styles, just venues.

Er, maybe I'm having A Dumb but what exactly is the point of honeypotting broken internet people? What would the hypothetical backing agency get out of this?

The legends say that at ~+8/9 the House can be flipped, not that it will. We're just at the point where you're allowed to believe in miracles.

Even getting the House somewhere near parity pretty much ensures that Republicans need to embrace some limited begrudging form of bipartisanship. And as an added bonus that means Paul Ryan becomes even more of a RINO scapegoat and his political ambitions wither on the vine :getin:

But they can and probably will change the rules to make this 51

If they don't just get rid of it (and after Garland I don't think there are any illusions left about SCOTUS nominations being special and worthy of a carve out) I could see them changing the rules to require 40 votes to continue debate, putting the onus on the filibustering party to actually support the filibuster.

I think it's accurate and telling that every single picture I've seen of Trump hasn't been of him building anything. Only in the rightest of alt right does he create anything. He only talks, consumes or destroys.

Also that's some lovingly detailed bulge in the pants. At first I thought it was a thing muscle since the upper body and core are ripped, but no. The artist skipped leg day, but not third leg day.

Debate prediction: Trump will say something about how strong ISIS is. That they're beating us.

Hillary responds informing him about the assault on Mosul, their last remaining major city.

Trump, completely unaware of Mosul, in a flippant, pissed off way will say "we're gonna lose that. ISIS is gonna win that battle."

Disinformation campaign. If you break the leader of Wikileaks, it's reasonably plausible that Wikileaks itself would fall apart pretty fast. There's plenty of NGOs that hate fascists and Putin, and recognize that Wikileaks is serving as a mouthpiece for far right nationalism. I don't think it was any major NGO, as the campaign would have been done a whole lot better.

Knowing Chris Wallace I wouldn't be entirely surprised if he slipped in some kind of "There's a lot of talk about how the election will be fraudulent and even videos with some compelling evidence to support those claims. How do you two respond?" question which there really is no great answer to because it already sets the tone that the O'Keefe video isn't a fabricated lie.
