Farage's main schtick as a demagogue has always been 'man of the people who dares speak truth to the out of touch elites'. Trump's been hammering on that same theme in all his rallies this past week - Wall Street, big money, globalists, and the media are all part of the same cabal that rigs the system against ordinary Americans, and only an uncorrupted man of the people like me can defeat them. It would make sense to have Farage come and coach him on refining the message, given that he 'won' Brexit. Don't think it ever got much play in the US, but it came out a few years ago that even in high school Farage was considered a horrible little fascist 'who marched through a quiet Sussex village very late at night singing Hitler Youth songs', so he can probably give helpful tips on how to code white supremacy messages too.

i am the bird posted:Race is completely nonsensical, though. The census used to have a category for "Hindu" that covered various peoples from Asia and the Middle East. This guy's challenge for citizenship reveals a bunch of weird as gently caress racial understandings from just 100 years ago: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Bhagat_Singh_Thind (Spoiler: the time between the state Supreme Court refusing to dispute the lower court ruling that Filipinos were in fact 'Malays' and the state amending the law to add white-Malay marriage to the list of illegal unions was approx. one week.)

Honestly, I get why people are still Arzying despite all the good news this past week. I mean, I personally think Clinton's going to win unless something absolutely game-changing happens, but I'm not going to be confident until the results are in and I see TRUMP LOSES BIGLY in big flashing letters on the screen. There's so much at stake this year - the presidency obviously, but a Trump win gives the GOP control of all three branches and 35 states, never mind how much worse President Trump could be than a generic R - which is going to make a lot of people nervous. Democratic votes have this year have produced some awful results. And most of all, Trump is an open bully, a grifter, a narcissist with fascistic tendencies who doesn't even try to hide it and produces an ever-expanding list of scandals, controversies, and unbalanced statements, any one of which would be enough to sink a conventional campaign, and still he's come this far with none of his abhorrent poo poo sticking to him or shaking his base. And then one week of bad decisions from Hillary's campaign nearly put him level. This past week has been really encouraging that finally it's sticking, finally it's catching up with him, and I know that realistically even if he stops self-imploding the damage is likely done. But there's still six weeks to go and it's still really hard to shake the fear of what if. What if Assange really has something concrete behind his bullshit this time? What if Trump stumbles his way into some killer attack lines at the debates? What if, at the end of all, enough people see Trump for what he is and decide that that's what they want for the country?

New thing from Trump at his rally in Pueblo - Hillary won't offer school choice because she's in the pocket of Big Teaching and won't risk the vast funding she gets from teachers' unions. Edit: Jesus, he just pivoted from 'my administration will speed up deportations' directly to: Trump posted:To the Cartels, the gangs, the drug dealers, I have a simple message for you: your days are numbered, and your reign of crime will soon come crashing to an end!

Ok, Trump's now addressing the tax revelations directly for I think the first time: in short, he did a moral thing by taking advantage of legal means to escape the undue burdens of the unfair tax system, and by reducing his overhead he was able to benefit his employees and investors, invest in rejuvenating communities, and generally do good in the world. His competitors went under, but by using his business savvy he saved his workers jobs and rebuild his company in difficult times. And what a great job he did! Crowd is eating it up, lots of TRUMP! chants and some cries of 'We love you Donald!'

Giuliani warming up for Trump at his rally: Hillary committed 33,000 separate federal crimes, gave up the defence of Poland and the Czech Republic, wants to be president of the world. Three separate chants of 'Lock Her Up' so far, and Trump hasn't even started speaking. I honestly think trump's gonna make 'my opponent will be jailed when I win' a central plank of his campaign for the last month.

He's now saying that none of Bill Clinton's accusers' stories have been heard publicly (until brave, noble Trump brought them to light) because the media has conspired with the Clintons to hush them up for decades. Oh, and also Hillary knew of and abetted Bill's rapes. And then he somehow segued into Chappaquiddick and said that Democrats called Ted Kennedy a hero afterwards.

cult member at airport posted:Finally, something that Donald Trump supporters and SA Goons can agree on: CNN sucks His first appearances post-debate, that segment turned into a long rant about the Corrupt Media being in the pocket of Crooked Hillary - the media's all she has folks, we're winning but they won't cover it, they bully me with constant coverage of tiny indiscretions from my past while ignoring her treason, they won't talk about all the polls that show my victory, won't show the crowd that proves the American people are with me, because they're all part of the same establishment. but when I'm president, we'll take that power from them, oh yes we will!!! Which culminated in the video from that tweet. (Btw, on the stream I watched the camera was panning around to show the crowd the whole time he was ranting). If this is how it's gonna go for the last month, if he's actually buying into his own conspiracy bullshit, I'm genuinely worried his 'concession' speech will be a televised address accusing Hillary of stealing the election.

Ok, what the gently caress was that? Al Gore created and built up China, and wants to destroy the combustion engine, and China keeps putting steel windmills in the sky which we should be doing. And they keep letting water out of Lake Okeechobee, but we have drought, so we should keep the water in Lake Okeechobee to stop drought. Even for Trump, this is really weird and incoherent.

Remember last night when Trump went off about how the fire code was wrong, and they should pack more people in because what's the worst that can happen? He just did it again, but this time he told the crowd the fire marshal wasn't letting people in because they're a Democrat. Literally everything that doesn't go his way is part of the Establishment Conspiracy now.

Trump's rallies today have been legit scary. He's been going on for nearly 20 minutes now with a full on Alex Jones-level conspiracy rant, plus some stuff that he seems to have invented himself. Hillary bought off the FBI! Hillary bought out the Justice Department! Hillary bleached all her emails which is super expensive and so unusual that no computer experts have ever heard of it! Hillary was fed debate questions! Hillary stole $6bn as SoS! Hillary and Sid Blumenthal hid Chris Stevens's requests for help from Obama! Hillary pledged to abolish the borders of the USA! Constant ISIS attacks in America! She is guilty and she must go to jail! If he wins next month I'm fully expecting him to have her shot on live TV before the year's out.
