O'Keefe farted out his latest video after hyping that Hillary said some racist poo poo for the past two months. Video's a donor to a north carolina democratic campaign saying blacks who vote for republicans are like the jews who helped the nazis.

Reality Regulator is pretty Brave New World. I like it.

comingafteryouall posted:Isn't Trump supposed to maintain he has no connection with Wikileaks? Why is he going out and talking about their release schedule like he has some insider info. The same reason why Russia Today was reporting on a tweet that hasn't happened yet. The Russians gave Assange his "dirt" because he's a useful idiot and Assange has probably been dropping a line to Trump HQ about what's about to happen. It's not a strong Russia/Trump connection. The fact that the republicans can look at obvious foreign influence on our election, especially from the Russians, and run with it is something much worse. Russia is supposed to be the GOP's sworn foreign enemy, and here the GOP sits, giving Putin a free pass...hell, even encouraging them to interfere. I know it's  but I'm starting to think that the whole FBI thing was a Russian operative in the agency. Probably not Comey, but he knew it was going to happen, which is the real reason he sent the letter. This is some straight up Tom Clancy Sum of all Fears poo poo but drat if this election hasn't been a work of overblown fiction since the beginning.

Antti posted:You had me freaked out for a moment like that other poster, but - the scenario of a Trump WH and a Dem senate is completely pants-on-head. I realize the models don't talk to each other, I guess some of the outlier polls and generally weird results are throwing everything off. They do calculate the possibility of a split Senate being decided by the VP according to the win % of each presidential candidate, I don't know what else they take into account

iospace posted:They believe Putin is a better leader. I'm not joking, they want a strongman as a leader, not someone who is willing to work together and compromise. Correction: They want a strongman that lets them be better than other people. Putin is attractive so long as there isn't an actual American Russian War and specifically they aren't being inconvenienced, threatened or killed. Remember, these people warn that a Clinton presidency would mean war with Putin. They like it when he's brutalizing his own people, homosexuals and Muslims, but hold a fear in the back of their head that if they don't appease, they will be hurt. Trump sells them the idea that he would be their Putin and its all the more hilarious that they continue to believe this when come next week he will likely call them all losers for failing him.

No seriously, they're truly awful excuses for human beings. They despise the concept of democracy, and will stop at nothing to subject the minorities of this country to their whims. Just as bad are the true conservatives, who will nuture this horseshit in a hail-mary attempt to shatter the federal government.

Went back there now, post-capture, and there's nothing on the killings at all.

A major problem with politics, and one that liberals and leftists are not immune to, is that we get into the attitude of 'sports teams.' Rather than genuinely considering the idea of each individual actor it becomes "our guy is winning!" And like a lot of sports fans people are okay with their guy winning through iffy means as long as he wins and are willing to downplay their flaws. (And again, this isn't exclusively conservatives.) With an election this heated and this intense people are getting crazier and crazier and are okay with ANYTHING winning as long as it does. To some degree this is the same thing that feeds the "Trump totally has an underage sex tape where he shouts racial slurs" mindset, which is only meaningfully different from a Michelle Obama Whitey Tape insomuch as Trump is more believable as having actually done it. (And I'd say 'even that is leftist bias' but I think it's pretty unobjectionable to say that Trump doing something skeevy is more believable than Michelle Obama going on a whitey rant.)

Yeah, this is the good poo poo. Gladiatorial combat. Ask Trump and his supporters why they haven't denounced the cop killer yet. Bring the Bundys in for questioning about how they inspired the killings.
