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

and his previous tweet was at 3.20am, so he's obviously not getting a lot of sleep

he seems to be completely unraveling over the dumbest possible shit

just business as usual

On the bright side, whoever came up with "Follow the money" as his new campaign slogan has excellent taste in movies.

follow it....all the way to Cuba

this fucking guy

Wtf Trump. I don't know where the bottom is!

It's where all the shit keeps coming out

Good god, and his strategy, his October surprise, is to bring up Bill? I balls of this dude, the sheer hubris. The odds that he only had two affairs and married both of his mistresses is somewhere between 0 and 0.

Then NH1 asked Trump if his own marital history would be "fair game."

"I guess," he responded. "But it’s a lot different than his. That I can tell you. We have a situation where we have a president who was a disaster and he was ultimately impeached over it, in a sense for lying. And so we’ll see whether or not we discuss it."

NH1 asked Trump if he was worried about his marital history.

"No, not at all. I have a very good history," he replied.

A very good history. The best. What a fucking child.

it must be nice to be so perfectly oblivious

imagine floating through life believing you're the fucking best of all time and anything bad that happens is other peoples' fault - it'd be amazing

i mean you'd be a total asshole but you wouldn't care so what difference does it make really

Feel like he's got to lose some votes at this point not because he's doing politically unwise things or that he's a dangerous petulant racist, but because it's become clear even to his fans that he has an iq of 75.

Is there time for him to fire another set of staff?

PIVOT, BABY, PIVOT

I am so, so, so glad that Trump snuck into Conway's office this morning and rooted through her desk until he found his phone. The world deserved to hear his side of the story!

"a story that DEMANDED to be told"

I might finally accept the existence of a higher power if a year and change of Trump pissing in America's face ultimately results in him getting locked up.

My happy place, very short term, would be Trump losing by 10-20% and his resulting meltdown.

I'm pretty sure that's how it happened

In all fairness, his spokespeople were doing a pretty poor job of communicating just how disgusting Machado is. The world deserved to know.

so a major party nominee for president just tweeted "check out sex tape"

what fucked up alternate timeline are we living in

Hillary has gone from 51% to 66% at 538 in the four days since the debate. And these couple news cycles won't help either.

Ted Cruz sure picked a good time to endorse, fuckin loser

How is he fucking up the Miss Universe thing so badly? He must know that it's a trap, but he's going to bulldoze ahead anyway.

i might be ready to put some money on this election

I don't understand here is what is happening to cause the tightening in the first place... are people really forgetting that Trump is a terrible human being for a brief moment then they remember again? Hillary doesn't seem to be doing anything really (outside of the convention) it's just steady flow of low rent scandals basically.

The bear only sees the fish lying on a pile of reeds. He can't wrap his head around the idea of a deadfall. But even a bear has sense enough, after pulling its gravely wounded body out of the hole, to not leap directly onto the spikes again. And again. And again.

I think it's based on a couple things: Hillary had a bad couple of weeks and Trump managed to hold it together very briefly. This caused some on the fence Hillary supporters to move over to Johnson and Stein, and some uncommitted Republicans to feel more comfortable with a vote for Trump. It looks like these trends are pretty much done now.

xp

Even though our Donnie is a millionaire
That doesn't mean he's smarter than the average bear

c'mon he's a billionaire just wait until he's out of audit and he can show you his beautiful tax returns

omg they still haven't taken his phone away

How is he fucking up the Miss Universe thing so badly? He must know that it's a trap, but he's going to bulldoze ahead anyway.

It's all that time spent on golf courses. He knows the only way to get out of a trap is just keep swinging.

I imagine a dream scenario where he pleas out on some impending criminal charge and agrees to pay, in full, everyone he's ever stiffed and it ultimately shakes out that he's barely a thousandaire.

another gem from this morning

"Anytime you see a story about me or my campaign saying "sources said," DO NOT believe it. There are no sources, they are just made up lies!"

uhh Donald "sources said" is like your sole source of information

btw apparently that Machado sex tape isn't even her? sounds about right

Anytime you hear me or my campaign saying something unbelievably stupid, DO NOT believe it. We didn't say anything stupid, your ears are just broken!

xxp his sources are extremely credible though

yea so apparently there is no Alicia Machado sex tape, though she was topless in Playboy

similar to what Trump's current wife did

sex tape boorish thing is better than "did business illegally in Cuba," I don't want to give him too much credit but if he has to pick between scandals today it's check out sex tape all the way

just imagining Paul Ryan this morning is making me smile

so a major party nominee for president just tweeted "check out sex tape"

what fucked up alternate timeline are we living in

one with more advanced technology than "Grover Cleveland love child" era, that's all

so so fucking boring

bored people are boring people, friend

can't wait to see what truly awful blog post Scott Adams will be writing this morning

Trump is hypnotizing us by referring to women as disgusting pigs which makes us think of bacon which makes us hungry and forget about silly things like politics.

Morbs, do you mind checking in every, oh I don't know, three hours or so and letting us know if this election you can't stop commenting on has become any more interesting for you? We'll do what we can to spice things up, since this is the only topic currently open for discussion here.

"Now, in the 2-D world, you might think of Trump's comment's as sexist. But as someone trained in persuasion, I see his comments as the moment he won the election. You see,....."

MediaMatters has the story on the 'sex tape': http://mediamatters.org/blog/2016/09/28/right-wing-porn-star-attack-former-miss-universe-falls-apart/213419 In short, The Daily Caller wrote about Machado being in a porn film, though it's not her. The lie then repeated throughout the rightwing echo chamber - Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Jefrey Lord, etc. She was on a 'risque reality show', and she was topless for playboy, but she never did 'porn'.

538 pointed out that Clinton has actually gone down in the polls pretty much everyday. After the conventions she went up 8 points in 3 days, then slowly lost again. If I was guessing, I'd say that in a vacuum, low-info voters just like the man better than the woman. Couple that with the 'deplorables' comment and the healthscare, and she had a bad month. Hopefully there's enough news and debates to keep focus on the sheer awfulness of Trump this last month.

also, lol @ this

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/30/opinion/campaign-stops/fat-shamer-in-chief.html

At 6-foot-2, the height that he has long given profile writers, Trump weighs 236 pounds, he told Dr. Oz. Not quite Taftian — he ballooned to 354 pounds by his inauguration in 1909 — but not healthy, either. By government guidelines, Trump is obese. In a weasel move to avoid that classification, Trump now says he is 6-foot-3, which makes him merely overweight. How he grew an inch, at the age of 70, is a story that has escaped his hagiographers at Fox.

I ordered a Hillary bumper sticker, along with a donation yesterday. I've never done either of these things. But I admit I'm kinda scared to even put the bumper sticker on.

I applied my Hillary for America sticker earlier this week. It's been vandalism-free and road rage-free so far. I had been taking extra care to not be a shitty driver too, lest someone get that idea about Hillary voters. Then yesterday I ran a red light in front of a fire house.

The article features the correction, “The star of Apprentass 4 was Angel Dark, not Alicia Machado.”
