I took advantage today of Ohio's early voting. I went to the Board Of Elections (only a block and a half from where I work) and cast my ballot for Hillary Clinton.

Not much of a crowd but that will pick up the closer we get to November 8. There was some stupid looking woman outside the building with a Trump hat trying to accost voters. Good thing for her I was coming from the other direction. If she had tried to talk to me or give me literature, I would have asked her: "Before you say another word, I need to ask you one thing. Have you ever heard of the Scientologists?" She would likely have said yes. My reply would have been: "Just like them, you need to see a deprogrammer. Fuck off!"

These are the 98 U.S. senators for voted in favor of the US Patriot Act of 2001
Clinton (D-NY), Yea

These are the 89 U.S. senators who voted in favor of the March 2, 2006 Patriot Act Reauthorizing Act
Clinton (D-NY)


So Trump made a nasty comment 10 years ago, while Clinton voted to destroy the Constitution, the basis of our Freedom and Liberty.

I think most of you take this Freedom and Liberty for granted. Bad move. a lot of hungry people want what you have.

Y'all pumped for Clinton!

trump is a demented incompetent celebrity who has serially conned investors, students, and contractors, while projecting a tv image of "success"

he's a fucking egomaniac disciple of roy cohn, a racist, has no plan whatsoever, and his word is absolutely worthless

so much so that the students at liberty university don't trust him to deliver the supreme court judges he is promising right now and would rather deal with the feminist hillary clinton. read the letter they wrote.

hillary, while certainly not perfect (there are no mythical magical leaders), is a competent, reasonable adult wih a good platform and the ability to accomplish some of it

this one is a no-brainer

You only listed one senator. Not 98 or 81. But sure, point taken.
There's never been a presidential candidate with whom I agreed about everything. Never. Also, not sure if you recall, but in the early '00s there were some, ahem, extenuating circumstances that made crackdowns on national security not really a talking point or a point of policy, but an absolute necessity for any politician hoping to keep their job.

It's worth noting (if you care about these things) that Hillary is a staunch supporter of overturning CU, and has vowed to do everything in her power to do so.

Again, that will only strike you as relevant if you care.

Ps. Summarizing Trump's abhorrent behavior with, "he made a comment 10 years ago" is asinine and you goddamn well know it.

Trump will surge ahead near the end and win. I'm trying to process this, imagine what lies in store and how I'll react.

I sure as hell hope not. The get-out-the-vote efforts that HRC's campaign are engaged in--and which you admirably took part in-- are crucial. I'm hoping there's at least one more bombshell revelation against Trump in the next few days that will kill any surge he might have. Knowing the political instincts of Hillary's husband, I think (or hope) they have an ace in the hole in that regard.

evollove 10.26.2016 09:24 AM

The life cycle of a trump scandal seems to be about three days, so I hope hrc has a full clip of silver bullets.

I don't know if suicide sounds attractive. Suicide-by-secret-service on the other hand has a noble ring to it. Haha. Lol. Jk. That was clearly a joke.

more great stuff at driftglass:


The dark carnival that is the Trump Campaign continues to limp onto the ash heap of history by butt-scooting it's crackpot theories and racist demagoguery all over the hallowed ground of Gettysburg. I'm not sure which Trump brain-wizard decided that the sight of a doomed racist cause making a suicidal charge into the teeth of overwhelming force was the very best metaphor on which to begin the final chapter of the campaign of their unhinged orange fire demon, but I hope they got their money up front.

I was such a demented ramble of Trump's angry, random notions, disjointed conspiracies, tangentially related grievances and physically, financially, temporally and constitutionally impossible claptrap tarted up to sound like "policy" that I could not track it all, but here are my notes, such as they are...
Trump is doubling down on every batshit lie he has been running all along. Go, lemmings, go!
Dead Man Ranting

Remember how Lincoln kept barking "Believe me! Believe me!" after the dozens and dozens of outrageous lies he told on this hallowed ground?

I will direct my Secretary of Commerce & Legitimate Businessman, Charles Ponzi, to do many amazing things. Believe me!

I will direct my Secretary of Imaginary Science, Trofim Lysenko, to pull "Clean Coal" out of his ass. Burn it all now, people! Without the Commie EPA who shall stop us! Believe me!

I will direct my Secretary of Homeland Security, Crazy Joe Arpaio, to arrest my political enemies. Believe me!

I will direct my Secretary of Deregulationism, Jack T. Ripper, to hit the Undo Obama button eight million times on my first day in office. Believe me!

I will direct my Secretary of Trump Math, my son Uday, to make 2+2 equal whatever I damn well say it is. Believe me!

I will direct my Secretary of Propaganda, Steve Bannon, to bring the fucking hammer down on the free press. Believe me!

I will direct my Secretary of Doubletalk, Hugh Hewitt, to follow me around with a pooper-scooper and a giant shit-eating grin. Bigly! Believe me!

I will direct my Secretary of Illegals to protect us from the cybers by only letting in people who love us. With talents this is possible ("Talents"? like "Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred three score and six talents of gold") Believe me!

Apparently Trump's end-game strategy is to flummox SNL writers by overloading them with material.

Let the media race to find the last "Undecided" voter in America begin!
As grotesque and horrifying as all of this is, don't let any of your Conservative friends or colleagues get away with feigning shock or surprise or that Trump is some freakish Black Swan event.

I think people will have a real "gut check" moment when they enter the booths. I'm hoping that the puffed up anti-HRC bullshit will lose some of its sway when voters are alone, without all the groupthink and mob mentality.

Surely there will be a time when every Trumo voter asks himself/herself what the ACTUAL real life result of a Trumo victory would be, and realizes that such a thing would turn the US into a cartoonish reality show.

Ideally, they'll say "fuck it I can't do this" and vote for HRC and then walk out and high five their friends and say they voted for Trump.

TRUMP. Donald Trump. Jesus. It's still hard for me to accept that he's even part of this conversation.

evollove 10.26.2016 01:13 PM

If that's true then you're way behind the story. Your head has less than two weeks remaining intact, unblown. After that, kablooee.

I'm not sure how this story isn't circling around, and Daily Beast/Kos seem to be the only ones reporting it. Yes I know there is a current case of Trump being accused of rape, but this is a damn rabbit hole. Now the argument can be made that there are possibly more men of wealth and power, even within the U.S. government who have participated in similar, and aren't any different than Trump, but it has to start somewhere and if that means using Trump as a prime example, so be it.
