This is insane.

 

Is Manafort the one who was on the Ukrainian Prez' payroll and actually might still be because no one will deny it?

 

at least he's consistent

 

Yep.

 

Either he just bails before November -- I think it's in play -- or that election night is going to be the biggest public Twitter meltdown of literally all time. I don't think he'll concede. I really don't see it in his personality.

 

Sad!

 

Man, the nerve of Republicans to insinuate that the Democrats rigged the 2012 election after what dildos like Jon Husted did during that period.

 

I'm convinced that Ashton Kutcher is behind this whole election. Waiting for the whole, "America, you just got punk'd," thing.

 

I'm leaning towards the "Trump is another bored millionaire" theory.

 

that would explain why Dax Shepard has one of the best takes

 

The only reason people dislike Hillary because of the patriarchy. It's classic sexism. It's the same thing that happened to ghostbusters, a delightful film.

 

Are you just trying to get banned or something? Why troll?

 

I hate the whole "actors shouldn't talk politics" argument. They have every right to discuss their opinions as plumbers, accountants, and doctors.

 

More polls putting Arizona and Georgia into a potential toss up. 98 days out and a landslide is mathematically more probable than a Trump victory.

 

I found my high school AP US Gov teacher's Facebook and man was that disappointing. Guy is an idiot.

 

Whatever happened to Joe?

 

I realize that you're trolling, but when the ghostbusters bust a country with bombs up the asshole or empower a genocidal wannabe nation state, we'll compare them. Until then, I'll defer to misplaced slapstick versus murder for profit being apples and oranges.

 

He became a conservative activist, even running for (and losing) Ohio's 9th District in 2012. If you look at his views in the past eight years, they pretty much mirror Fox News talking points.

 

it looks like they were already banned

 

I banned that troll again btw.

 

Sad!

 

Sounds about right. Hell, today I saw "Palin's son-in-law blasts Trump" as a headline and had weird flashbacks to 2008 and when that family was in the news. That ... was weird. In hindsight Romney has been the most (relatively) level headed campaign we've had in a while from the Republicans.

Scratch that. I just had to go Google who his VP pick was.

 

Finally reading up on Stein's VP pick. Is this really gonna ingratiate her to the Bernie Supporters?

To say that that Baraka opinions on Bernie Sanders were somewhat less than charitable would be something of an understatement. Sanders’ campaign, Baraka wrote, was less concerned about actual political reform and more interested in a tacit “commitment to Eurocentrism and normalized white supremacy.”

Sanders supporters, Baraka explains, are basically just naive shills.

“As much as the ‘Sandernistas ’ attempt to disarticulate Sanders ‘progressive’ domestic policies from his documented support for empire,” Baraka said. “It should be obvious that his campaign is an ideological prop – albeit from a center/left position – of the logic and interests of the capitalist-imperialist settler state.”

Hmm.

“I cannot for the life of me understand how Beyonce’s commodified caricature of black opposition was in any way progressive,” Baraka said. “I didn’t see opposition; I saw the imagery and symbols of authentic black radicalism grotesquely transformed into a de-politicized spectacle by gyrating, light-skinned booty-short-clad sisters.”

I've got like 30 articles to read on this.
