Il Douché and His Discontents: The 2016 Primary Voting Thread, Part 4

http://bigstory.ap.org/article/3cdda4be66f74874adaaa31ba49488e1/latest-trump-says-generals-will-play-their-own-game

A spokesman for the Chicago Police Department says the agency never recommended that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump cancel his campaign rally in the city.

Guglielmi says the university's police department also did not recommend that Trump call off the event. He says the decision was made "independently" by the campaign.

so trump on cnn earlier told don lemon that they made the decision with law enforcement and that law enforcement thought he did such a great job by making this decision etc. i don't remember exact words, but another flat out lie basically

Omg a Bernie chant erupted during that cnn footage. When does this media pin this on him?

@JustinRaimondo
Wow, just called our webmaster, no Trump supporter: he was literally crying at the sight of leftist fascist shutting down Trump rally.

That was quick

I don't even get it.

Anyway, this guy is the closest America has ever come to an actual racist fascist in my lifetime. The fact that he is as close as he is to the presidency, however far he may be, justifies almost any response to his presence.

Trump could basically be a cardboard standee with a voice chip that spouted completely random phrases at this point. Honesty doesn't matter, beliefs don't matter. The support for his campaign has nothing to do with him, nothing to do with logic or considered positions or acknowledgement of how this country actually works. "Trump" is just a rallying point for the incoherently angry and entitled. There doesn't even need to be any real agreement about what angers them or what they're entitled to. It's poisonous, infantile nihilism, full stop.

The only material difference between Trump's supporters and a horde of cranky two-year-olds is that there's hope that the two-year-olds will grow up someday and learn that the world doesn't revolve solely around them.

Actually, sorry, suggesting that Trump supporters function on the cognitive level of two-year-olds is really insulting to two-year-olds.

that's not true as much as you wish it was

fuck Trump, but i prefer to confront odious speech rather than snuff it

What sphinx of cement and aluminum bashed open their skulls and ate up their brains and imagination?

Moloch! Solitude! Filth! Ugliness! Ashcans and unobtainable dollars! Children screaming under the stairways! Boys sobbing in armies! Old men weeping in the parks!

Moloch! Moloch! Nightmare of Moloch! Moloch the loveless! Mental Moloch! Moloch the heavy judger of men!

Moloch the incomprehensible prison! Moloch the crossbone soulless jailhouse and Congress of sorrows! Moloch whose buildings are judgment! Moloch the vast stone of war! Moloch the stunned governments!

Moloch whose mind is pure machinery! Moloch whose blood is running money! Moloch whose fingers are ten armies! Moloch whose breast is a cannibal dynamo! Moloch whose ear is a smoking tomb!

Moloch whose eyes are a thousand blind windows! Moloch whose skyscrapers stand in the long streets like endless Jehovahs! Moloch whose factories dream and croak in the fog! Moloch whose smoke-stacks and antennae crown the cities!

Moloch whose love is endless oil and stone! Moloch whose soul is electricity and banks! Moloch whose poverty is the specter of genius! Moloch whose fate is a cloud of sexless hydrogen! Moloch whose name is the Mind!

Moloch in whom I sit lonely! Moloch in whom I dream Angels! Crazy in Moloch! Cocksucker in Moloch! Lacklove and manless in Moloch!

Moloch who entered my soul early! Moloch in whom I am a consciousness without a body! Moloch who frightened me out of my natural ecstasy! Moloch whom I abandon! Wake up in Moloch! Light streaming out of the sky!

Moloch! Moloch! Robot apartments! invisible suburbs! skeleton treasuries! blind capitals! demonic industries! spectral nations! invincible madhouses! granite cocks! monstrous bombs!

They broke their backs lifting Moloch to Heaven! Pavements, trees, radios, tons! lifting the city to Heaven which exists and is everywhere about us!

Visions! omens! hallucinations! miracles! ecstasies! gone down the American river!

Dreams! adorations! illuminations! religions! the whole boatload of sensitive bullshit!

Breakthroughs! over the river! flips and crucifixions! gone down the flood! Highs! Epiphanies! Despairs! Ten years’ animal screams and suicides! Minds! New loves! Mad generation! down on the rocks of Time!

Real holy laughter in the river! They saw it all! the wild eyes! the holy yells! They bade farewell! They jumped off the roof! to solitude! waving! carrying flowers! Down to the river! into the street!

idk, i think i prefer the drumpf extension

grandma! you're alive!

i did xp

man, if they don't pull a sting on the Donald in Cleveland, this country is going to have a helluva Oktoberfest.

Did u notice how hillary's bit gets like one paragraph 3/4ths of the way in? Story will be gone by next week, its already getting buried by chicago shenanigans

Christ you are a schmuck

soft bigotry of low expectations at its finest xp

the damage is done and will be remembered by some people on Tuesday

That is true.

I'd been working up to conscientiously squashing my many misgivings to vote for Hillary but I'm so fucking dismayed by her bullshit today. I can compartmentalize and forgive an awful lot of her but despite the fact that socially people seem to have the all clear to joke about AIDS now, it is still a really horrific, painful part of very recent history and I actually do care that she did this and if I do decide not to vote for her, today will be why.

Sanders is a nice idea but I cannot picture him leading anything but a fuckin march down main street.

I know it's always been voting for the slightly shinier turd and it's why every election I try not to care or commit too much to anyone
it all just bums me the fuck out

well said

shinier turd? not on my watch. unshiny turd '16

Not if I have anything to say about it.

Sorry, I'm having a bad couple of days, but I know (well knew) actual dead people that might not be if it wasn't for the Reagan code of silence wrt HIV/AIDS and IV drug use, let alone their chuckling behind the hand gay plague garbage. Clinton needs to remove "misspoke" from her vocabulary, and actually retract/apologize. These aren't verbal gaffes, they are bad positions and opinions.

And or disingenuous triangulation of public opinion which is worse

^^^^

"I was just trying to get more votes" is the only explanation I have any time for

"Sanders is a nice idea but I cannot picture him leading anything but a fuckin march down main street."

cool analysis

both sides should tone it down at the trump protests, says hillary

jeez, imagine if the word "certain" was in some of these statements. hillary's fans would be SUPER mad!

That IS a very odd statement.

Is that real?

banner day

I guess it's real:

https://twitter.com/hillaryclinton/status/708526634459078656

oy fucking vey.

wonder how those families in Charleston feel about the uses to which their (no doubt agonizing) act of forgiveness is being put to.

hillary bot needs some reprogramming

tbf the content of that statement is "what I mean by americans should come together is that those americans who wish to be titanic racists in public actually don't get to"

her attempt to placate conservatives who might want to leave the Trump train by praising a conservative icon, like, I get it as a strategy, but you could have complimented the dresses Nancy wore. instead of praising the woman who refused to help Rock Hudson multiple times.

the protest comments, jesus.

She says ".@realDonaldTrump: condoning violence against protesters and press at your rallies is the real disgrace." I have no problem with it. You have to work really hard to think her stance is "protestors should be nicer to Donald Trump."

uhh, however the tweet that schwantz quoted has a *very* different message

which paints the violence equation on roughly equal ground, saying people on all sides should reject violence in politics, which reads as an indictment of sorts of any protesters involved in the fray along with the Trump goons.

which, sorry, after seeing party after party carted off with bloodied appendages from Trump rallies due to his goon-puppeteering, I'm not going to rally behind. he's the one cultivating the violence, the protesters are usually the ones defending themselves.

I'm calling it now: the tactics Trump used last night are the same he will use to ultimately leave the race. He'll tell some blatant and easily-disproved lie about how he's been told that to continue running would pose a threat to his supporters or some nonsense like that so he'll get to leave on his terms and put the blame on some imaginary specter in the process AND have the added bonus of getting his supporters riled the fuck up on the way out.

This is all based on my continued belief that, despite his megalomania, Trump does not actually want to be president and recognizes on some level that he's way out of his depth.

when has realizing he's way out of his depth kept Rubio, Trump, Gerald Ford, Franklin Pierce, and James Buchanan from running for president

(xpost) I used to think that many months ago, that he was just bored and screwing around. But if he exits now, then what was all this for?

he's dying of liver failure and this is his final fuck you to the world
