It is a bounce, but it's a surprisingly large one since it should, in theory, have been limited by the opposition's bounce. I think she'll keep a few points of it for a while.

Yeah. It'll come back but is likely to still have a sustained gap at this rate.

OTOH, lol. Nothing. Matters.

The interesting thing is, if they are sitting on it that might do WikiLeaks more harm. The Dems know exactly what was stolen and exactly what it says by this point. If anything is on it, they have had a month now to prepare for it. The original leak only worked because it caught them off guard.

It didn't even really "work" all that much except to rile up a few hardcore Bernouts. If they had something damning in those emails Assange would be physically unable to resist putting it out there ASAP and basking in the glow of the whistleblowing.

I kind of suspect the logjam will break before the SCOTUS actually erodes down to nothing, because I don't think the Republicans can actually keep doing what they're doing forever. All that DNC poo poo was kind of a bid to go 'Hey you people, it's OK to at least provisionally support the Democrats.'

Best scenario (and most likely imo) is:


Trump dumb -> depressed R turnout and energized D turnout -> senate goes Democrat -> filibuster goes away -> all the supreme court justices, all of them


Fingers crossed, I guess!

Have we talked about Jill Stein's new conspiratorial running mate yet? Does anyone care? Is anyone actually voting for her besides a handful of angry white people on my Facebook feed?

No, no, and no, in that order.

Never wear a US Flag. First it's against flag code, and if you actually cared about :911:, you'd follow flag code. Second, you'll be confused with the vast majority of people wearing the flag as clothing, who are hateful assholes just waiting for all the minorities to be out of earshot so they can drop some truth bombs on your. Third, and, really, most importantly, it's tacky as poo poo. If you've gotta put that flag on yourself go with a nice, understated flag pin.

Look I'm just gonna come right out and say it, we need an exception here for flag bikinis.

Honestly I myself am baffled how Indiana went blue in a shocker in 2008 but went red in 2012 and seems to have escaped even further into the red column. Did all the cool people move or what?

In 2008, Louisville (the only deep blue dot in a sea of Kentucky red) sent hoards of people into southern Indiana, a traditionally red area, to GOTV. That plus Indy made it turn sliiiiiightly blue, a thin enough margin that we didn't know the results until well through the day after.

In 2012 all the cool kids went to Ohio to work Cincy instead.

This is based on what I did, which clearly means everyone else followed my trend. :colbert:

No one's gone from internet hero to idiot stooge nearly as fast as Snowden. He did a public service dragging into the public eye how IPs were ridiculously complicit in forking over data with zero resistance, because there was proof after that and not just tin foil hattery that could be dismissed offhandedly.

The guy took his best shots from a very short list of places to claim asylum because lol if you think he wasn't being put in a deep dark hole if he got caught. Now that things have settled down he may get a pardon depending on how dumb he was talking to the Russians. I'm holding off ultimate judgement until there's more than just flying rumors but until I hear he gave Putin the nuclear launch codes or something then he's done something worthwhile.

Honestly, when you start a sentence with "breed" and "people" within two words of each other, you should probably halt your post and reconsider your world views regardless of the rest of it.

Even if you think someone else is doing the breeding (:maga:), you're tacitly accepting it's a thing that works. It doesn't. The only thing eugenics brings is genocide.

Now I admit I'm probably Arzying somewhat, since we do have things like mocking the disabled reporter and the Khan thing still being raised by Hillary and the media. But it sometimes feels like we've just taken all that and accepted it as part and parcel of Trump. I mean, I guess outrage can only be sustained for so long without becoming tiring, I just still think we can sometimes get a bit too much "Oh, that Donald! What won't he say?" Myself included. It's a thing to look out for, at any rate.

This just means defining him as a clown car of stupid has stuck permanently. All Hillary has to do is remind people a little ways out from the election, hey, this guy is running for president and we should really GOTV so he doesn't get anywhere near it.

My real concern is everyone phoning it in, Hillary winning by "just" 4%, and Senate staying in conservative hands by a couple of votes. Given the ads she's already run before going to her oppo research, though, I'm pretty sure it'll work out.
