Speaking of elections: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDW1UWkgk4Y The RNC was under a court under since the 1980s not to gently caress around with the polls after they tried enacting "poll watchers" to intimidate Democrat voters in the 1981 New Jersey governor's race. And now Trump is putting them in violation of that court order and further screwing over his party by telling all his supporters to go and rig the polls.

If there's some schadenfreude silver lining to the Y'all Qaeda guys being found not guilty, it's this guy who already pleaded guilty and had to eat a felony and prison term, and will never be allowed to own guns again. He's definitely the biggest idiot of the bunch, so it's double funny http://www.oregonlive.com/oregon-standoff/2016/08/oregon_standoff_defendant_jon_1.html quote:Before the Burns standoff, Ritzheimer was most widely known for anti-Islam protests he organized last year in Phoenix. They drew hundreds of people and caught the attention of the FBI. He also sold anti-Islam T-shirts through his apparel company, Rogue Infidel. The website now asks for donations to help Ritzheimer and his family.

Basebf555 posted:Assuming Trump does lose(please God), its going to be some grade-A prime schadenfreude when we get to see all of that footage from his headquarters event where all the supporters are there crying their eyes out. It was great with Romney but it'll be ten times better this time. Oh, it wasn't crying at first. It was dull-faced shock, like their entire world had been pulled out from under them. On top of the whole 'unskewing' thing, it was just brilliant to see such sad superiority just collapse upon itself. Then you have Karl Rove looking like his world had just ended with 'TURN THE MACHINES BACK ON' and 'OHIO HASN'T FALLEN, OHIO HASN'T FALLEN' and then the coup de grace of everybody waiting on Romney to throw together some speech, cancel the cards of his staff so they couldn't get home, and the firework boat that nobody knew about that was going to go off when Romney had 'won.' There was nothing not funny about Mitt Romney's downfall in the slightest, especially since the GOP had made it a priority for years only to get hosed by their own media at the very end when Mitt was going to lose. With Trump losing, I'm torn between people rioting or just screaming at Trump before walking out and refusing to admit they voted for him.

No, the real schadenfreude is when one of those hicks puts two and two together and starts wondering if the Bundys are really government moles. Think about it: they're able to go on government land, they always seem to dodge justice....

The Schadenfreude is going to happen when Trump tries to make a concession speech. Or on us if he wins. I wonder if either of them have put much thought to a concession? Hillary becasue the polls are so far in her favor, and Trump because why would he do something like prepare for anything?

Random Stranger posted:The nitty-gritty details are often interesting, but not really things they have time to cover in schools until you get to a specialized college course. There's too much ground to cover to not just hit the broad strokes and keep moving. Not really. There's interesting stuff to cover, it's just that grade school history (like a lot of other things) is just taught badly because there'd be an awful lot of parents upset over kids being taught actual history (e.g. that American politics has pretty much always been racist, from the early 17th century on) instead of the comfortable lies that bore students to tears.

The 94 shack? Definitely not. It looks like someone's farm storage shack that they aren't bothering to repair, but they've been using it to stump for the Republican presidential candidate for the past thirteen years as it's impossible to miss. It's maybe fifteen yards away from the eastbound lane. Unfortunately that also makes it difficult to get a picture.

It's going to be quite amazing. Not so here in Georgia. In Atlanta proper I rarely see Trump anything, but my dad lives out maybe 45 minutes north of town, and there are some of the larger, nicer houses up there sporting nearly billboard-sized Trump signs. I was heartened to see that one of the big ones disappeared after all the "grab em by the pussy" stuff came out. So I guess even complete morons have SOME limits.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/29/us/politics/fbi-hillary-clinton-email.html?_r=0 The FBI is reopening the investigation of Clinton's email server based on emails discovered on Anthony Weiner's phone. quote:The F.B.I. is investigating illicit text messages that Mr. Weiner sent to a 15-year-old girl in North Carolina. The bureau told Congress on Friday that it had uncovered new emails related to the Clinton case — one federal official said they numbered in the thousands — potentially reigniting an issue that has weighed on the presidential campaign and offering a lifeline to Donald J. Trump less than two weeks before the election. Weiner is just a walking disaster.

I am deeply glad that, apparently seconds after this came out and people started going "EMAIIIIIILSSSSS" it turns out to just be Weiner scandal not Hillary's. I believe the guy who tried to implicate it as Hillary's (chafetz I think his name is?) should hopefully get egg on his face for this at least.

The "reopening" is just a technicality that the FBI is required to inform Congress of. This is the actual letter from the FBI director about it. There's just some emails from the Clinton case that are pertinent to Wiener sexting an underage high school student, so they're "reopening" the case in the sense that they're officially pulling out some of the evidence they've already looked at to see if it can help in a totally unrelated thing. The schadenfreude is on Wiener, as well as all the right-wing people screeching again about how Hillary is so totally gonna get locked up this time and then have to realize that it's a wet fart.
