unnoticed posted:You guys need to meet more Trump supporters. I have a FB friend who's been posting all the conspiracy articles about how Mr. Khan was selling visas to people or was in bed with the Saudis and is tied in with Clinton Cash somehow. There is definitely a group of people who are not turned off at all by Trump attacking the Khan family. Isn't that specifically some general legal aid site for immigrants he probably deleted because why the gently caress would you want to be active online at all when people are coming after you like this?

Zwabu posted:Yes it was really terrible when Hillary Clinton spent a week trashing Vilerat's Mom on TV and Twitter. But if they point out how this (obviously not happening) is the reason why her speech vanished from the public mind so quickly, why, that wouldn't be objective now would it?!

Harrow posted:So I haven't paid that much attention to cable news coverage of the election recently. What's the media reaction been to Trump's new "on-message" style, like his Detroit speech? Is it the big turning point for Trump, or are people finally remembering that he's Donald Trump? The child-care tax credit seems to be a boon for him (if CNN was anything to go by this morning), even if the rest is just the standard proposals of the GOP.

Crows Turn Off posted:The only poll I can think of is the Bloomberg poll that has her up 6 points (which leans D), which would be "low" for her in that poll. I'm just curious here, but when was the last Bloomberg poll, and what were it's results? Of course, I don't know if this one really reflects the post "2nd Amendment" comments of Trump.

DarkstarIV posted:So are you all ready for a (possible) Clinton Foundation probe? It's the Daily Caller so take it with a grain of salt, since its Fox News 2.0: I saw CNN reporting that, supposedly, the FBI and DOJ had talked about the Clinton Foundation. What they talked about I don't know, as I had to leave for work before CNN got to that report. It'll probably amount to nothing in the long-term.

Also they are petitioning the DOJ to reassess not indicting Clinton for something Assange said on TV. Assange's arguing there's a double-standard because Wikileaks is still being investigated after six years while they closed the investigation into Clinton after one.

Ciaphas posted:Saw a report on the TV today in passing about House Republicans claiming Hillary perjured herself in a few different ways regarding the whole email thing (one server vs multiple, individually read/reviewed emails by investigators vs not, etc). Is the outright claim of perjury anything new or likely to affect her career or election chances in any way? Just from your description it sounds like them splitting hairs to try and gin up controversy.

And as part of an event that is in no way just a photo-op, Donald Trump and Mike Pence will be touring portions of Louisiana hit by flooding:quote:Donald Trump is visiting Louisiana on Friday for a flood damage trip that is currently shrouded in secrecy. This might be one of the most transparent things he's ever done in terms of "hey, this evil president doesn't care about you, but I do!"

iospace posted:I've had angry old white men at my work (all of which are either happily voting for trump, holding their noses and doing so, or not but voting R downballot) bash the Milwaukee transit system, including the new light rail system they want to put in downtown, as "worthless" because in their own words, "I never see anyone use it!" I heard the exact same poo poo from someone at the gym about not including room for future light-rail extensions on the new 520 floating bridge across Lake Washington. This was in Bellevue, of course. Even if these people actually do drive all over the drat place, I still can't understand how they can possibly tolerate the bad traffic the lack of transit options lets continue; I mean, gently caress I-405 in rush hour, have they never driven it?
