I've had people say it's a hardening, actually ~ US presidential election 2016 part 9/11 never forget

I hope Trump does try to take on this "I'm a defender of women!" schtick it will backfire so beautifully

Tecate ran a beer advert on Monday featuring a "Tecate Beer Wall" cutting thru the desert, where American dudes and Mexican dudes meet to chug brews from a shared ice cooler.

The narrator intones that “The time has come for a wall, a tremendous wall. The best wall.”

Hard to imagine their VP not sniggering when he said this:

Asked if the brew was taking a side, Tecate VP Felix Palau said the brand is not trying to get political. Rather, the debate -- and the border issue -- presents a marketing opportunity for the Mexican brand to inject itself in the conversation, he said. "We are totally neutral," he said. "We don't have any political point-of-view or affiliation. We just want to tell a story where people from two bordering countries are united by beer."

They naturally ran it on Telemundo, Univision, and Fox News.

I want to call Trump a half-deflated football filled with dogshit who's going to lose this election like an incontinent septuagenarian loses control over his bladder, but I won't.

lol

OMG he's going plotz so hard.

Thoroughly expect him to take some time during the next debate to be all, "The awful, failing New Yorker wants you to believe I'm a fat, ugly beauty queen who cries and wears a dress. Wrong. Wrong."

Pepe The Frog’s creator is voting Hillary, isn’t sure what the hell happened either

As our children will one day read in their history books (in the chapter titled “We’re Sorry”)

chapter?

Yeah, most of history has been pretty chill, iirc.

You're Welcome (We're Sorry): A History of Human Civilization

I'm thinking high school textbook. Sorry Not Sorry: The American Story

If We Did It

lol

The American Sorry

If We Did It

srsly dying

lmao that's gold

unless he means that Trump's got a truckoad of rancid tweets that even his minions working 24 hour a day can't erase

lol it's fucking Mike Matusow

Been some great fresh descriptions of Trump lately. "Donald Trump has a face like a rusted manhole cover." "A shaken three-liter of Sunkist that has spewed its acidic stickiness all over America’s floor."

lol it's fucking Mike Matusow

who's that?

if it's a poker pro i'm just gonna assume it's some dickhead wearing a baseball hat and wraparound shades indoors

ty for the lols Jon

He's the biggest douchebag of them all xp

Mike "The Mouth" Matusow, known for being a notorious shit talker and generally not very-good poker player

Probably most well-known for getting owned by Greg Raymer in 2005

Still gets lots of TV time because he's kind of a wildcard and is legitimately fun to watch. I remember watching him online from time to time and he would get tilted incredibly easily.

PROFESSIONAL POKER NOW A THING AGAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE W ADMINISTRATION

Has Kenny fucking Rogers weighed in yet

What he’s doing is trying to establish dominance — to win, in his words. That’s what he uses words for. That’s how he sees every interaction in which he is involved. He is attuned only to what the words are doing, whether they are winning or losing, not to what they mean.

So Trump camp was already rumbling about the Cuba story and...

https://twitter.com/kurteichenwald/status/781607229241823233

it's interesting to see these different news outlets not really covering or even referencing each other's stories (NYT doesn't mention WaPo, neither mentions Newsweek bombshell) - idk if this is different from how these stories might have broken/been covered in the past, but the professional territoriality seems diminish the overall impact of the various Trump scandals. Seems like the most we can expect is something like the above - a NYT staff tweeting about a Newsweek story

Huh? He's the guy who wrote the story! And he works at both spots.

lol sorry misread his twitter bio

I guess NYT won't be mentioning this at all then!

seems like Trump's going to have a number of criminal proceedings against him after the election

This was just posted on FB by someone I've known since the second grade. He has a PhD in mechanical engineering, and his wife is both African-American (he's white btw) and a doctor. This election has made people dumb.

Hillary has chosen the new face of the Democratic Party and the choice couldn't be more appropriate: a judge-threatening, public-fornicating trainwreck who had a Mexican drug lord's anchor baby in Miami. If that doesn't say Democrat I don't know what does.

Also, Donald Trump is the Guy Fieri of politics. See, I'm fair and balanced like Fox News.

is that supposed to refer to miss universe

yeah, "Guy Fieri" is that hard-hitting bodying of Trump that balances out what he said about the Democratic Party

public fornicating

i love it when I go to the ball pit at McDonald's and people are fornicating in it

I would've appreciated it if he could have thrown a "strumpet" or "hussy" in there

as a lifelong Democrat, I spend the majority of my days publicly fornicating with Mexican drug lords while threatening judges

I fornicate with judges and threaten anchors

news anchors, specifically

A couple of weeks ago he was going on about what's-his-face, the Orlando murderer's dad, being at the Clinton rally with a sarcastic, "Well, they are the big tent, I guess." I asked if, given that he's a private citizen with no criminal record and no charges against him, they were supposed to have thrown him out and he never responded.

judge threatening? the trump campaign is built on projection, jfc

Oof http://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2016/09/29/dont-vote-for-donald-trump-editorial-board-editorials-debates/91295020/

I'll say this much. The press has been less than diligent and thorough this campaign, maybe even more than usual, but I find it heartening every time one of these no minced words, harshly anti-Trump to the extreme editorial endorsements comes out.

^^^ was just coming here to post that USA Today piece, brutal

did trump call someone on the gannett board fat in 1986 or something because their properties have really been lining up

Jesus. On the one hand it's like getting a beatdown from Which Laptop?. On the other hand it's like getting a beatdown from Which Laptop?
