Politicians are the same way. No loving poo poo the Clinton campaign was tossing around ideas(some of them terrible ones they never used, but it's just brainstorming). But it's treated as some loving affront unto man that a campaign team was doing it's job.

People judge what people say harsher than what they probably say. Trump has said that Bill Clinton has said similar things to the "pussy grabbing" speech in private, and I think it's probably true, judging by his similar behavior.

I'm pretty sure that the Republican email servers would contain as much or more of this stuff, but for some "mysterious" reason, we only have one side of the story.

Actually, I'd LOVE to see all the backstage Republican freakouts about Trump that without any doubt exist.

The US state department made it really loving hard for wikileaks to raise money while Clinton was at the helm to start with. Also Assange has a huge hate boner for the US, jews, and women while also being the pawn of Putin.

I obviously know about the cables, I'm just puzzled as to why he seems to side with Trump.
Thinking that HRC is a bully, sure, but assuming that Trump wouldn't be a worse one seems crazy.

They need something better than "listen to what Donald said in an interview ten or more years ago" and sometimes "he incites violence and also he mocked a reporter with a disability." I mean, I guess maybe they don't have much else to go on since he hasn't been in office, but there has to be something else they can hit on from the debates, his rallies, etc.

That's because you're a huge weirdo like literally every other poster/lurker in this thread who actually watches a whole bunch of these ads and follows politics closely instead of your average American who will expend great effort to avoid becoming informed or seeing political ads.

I get it that after all this time he might be suffering from cabin fever but he can't honestly think a Trump presidency would give him safe passage out of that embassy.

Assange's been living in the alt right bubble for the last few years.

The fact that the clips in that video haven't already guaranteed a historic landslide loss are a damning indictment of the American populace, really.

If your resources are limited like theirs are, you need to gamble for the map where you can win. My best guess, if we are to assume some kind of rational actor at work here (!), is that they have decided that the only way they win the election is if the polls have a particular kind of demographic miss that, if factored in all the swing states, means that PA is a tight win for Trump, which then means states that are not like PA are the ones that need flipping.

It'd have to be something like "suburban whites and educated whites will not actually vote for Clinton", for PA to be the one they're pulling from. That'd imply pulling from CO, NH and VA as well, and pouring money into FL, NC, GA, AZ, NV instead. It'd imply a map like this where you still need to win Florida or run the table elsewhere to win.

What I'm saying is, the same way Romney trying to play for PA in 2012 meant he was :fork:, Trump pulling out from PA in 2016 means he's super :fork:. But if all the polls have you down, down down, you either concede the election immediately like Bob Dole or you unskew the polls enough to show a potentially winning map and then play the game as if that's the real map.

Thread moves fast so I posted this earlier today, but it's essentially a bunch of investigative reporting coming to fruition and stories that have been incubating getting shoved out the door while readers still care. Most of them will be negative for Trump because he's loving Donald Trump.

The only reason this doesn't reassure me quite as much as it would is that I can't honestly believe Trump has access to anything approaching accurate data or rational strategy.

The ((())) symbol has been applied to just about anyone the alt-right are pissed at. It "marks" them as the hated Jews because they are neo-Nazis and need to discredit the enemy by being the worst possible thing in their eyes. Assange is implying everyone he hates is a Jew because he's deep in with the Alt-Right.

The Russia stuff fizzled out in, like, three hours last night; and if you believe in that FSB Sex Tape, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

Imagine your entire life is lived in a small room and your only access to the outside world is the internet. Imagine your perceived reason for this is the machinations of feminists. Imagine that you've steadily alienated all your more mainstream friends, so all you have left as adoring fans are now increasingly radical internet 'libertarians' and fringe political people like RT who will parrot back to you every thought. I don't think you really need a conspiracy to consider how daily immersion in that environment among that crowd can gently caress people up.

Even before his self-imposed imprisonment we had former friends talk about creepy misogynists like Israel Shamir ( http://www.israelshamir.net/English/Unmanning.htm ) gaining influence over Assange. I think it seems clear that this sort of thing continued. People talk about Wikileaks's support of the Russian position regarding that tax haven leak, but really you can look at earlier stuff - in particular Wikileaks coming out in favour of Gamergate: http://www.theverge.com/2014/10/20/7015849/wikileaks-finds-common-cause-with-gamergate
