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

I'm imagining his cabinet playing the same piss-poor game of keepaway with the launch code that his handlers are playing with his phone.

I feel like he's giving a lot of fuel to Howard Dean's cokehead theory with the 3am tweeting

Well, at least we know he'll be ready for that 3am call.

xpost C'mon, it's not that unusual for a 70-year-old man's bladder to wake him up at 3am. The fact that he does a bump after taking a splash is incidental.

Man, the people in response to that tweet arguing that Trump scheduled his tweets in advance to control the morning news cycle...

Wow, Crooked Hillary was duped and used by my worst Miss U...

The fact that Trump is completely unaware of who's pwning who in this whole thing is blowing my mind. He's learned nothing since the Khan feud. He's like Sideshow Bob, stepping on the rakes over and over and over.

other republicans uncritically repeating "60 pounds" is lol

yes, this woman literally gained sixty pounds and not a far lesser amount of weight

how much complete fucking horseshit do you think his daughters have had to put up with?

I would guess that is why he "forgets" to recognize a daughter, her mother actually has reasonable ideas and is insulated from his abuse

I don't know, do foxes have pubes?

The best, the most luxurious pubes. They're gorgeous, these pubes, I can tell you that.

haven't been really following this thread much so sorry if this is already news but i can't even . . . did the republican congress (a senate who refuses to hold supreme court justice hearings) really just vote to let foreign governments sue our foreign-stationed troops? what the fuck is wrong with them?

Oh my Christ, that is next fucking level.

Senate: "Let's make this thing a law!"
President: "That's a bad idea, and here are the reasons why I think it's a bad idea."
Senate: "Yay, we passed the bill!"
President: "I'm going to veto your bill because it's a bad idea, and here are the reasons why I think it's a bad idea."
Congress: "Fuck you, we veto your veto and BOOM! It's a law!...Oh, wait, we didn't realize that there were reasons why this was a bad idea. Thanks, Obama!"

Clearly he got his hands on a burner. Trump probably has phones stashed around the house like alcoholics do with bottles

“Everybody was aware of who the potential beneficiaries were but no one had really focused on the potential downside in terms of our international relationships. And I think it was just a ball dropped,” McConnell said. “I hate to blame everything on him and I don’t, but it would have been helpful if we had a discussion about this much earlier than the last week.”

mcconnell is such piece of shit

The more I read about this 9/11 bill and the aftermath, the more I keep imagining Congress being all:

Accidentally opening the door for people to sue us for torturing them and bombing their weddings and hospitals is not exactly the end of the world, tbh

Yeah, I kinda feel about that the way I feel about the prospect of wildlife collectively rising up to wipe out and devour humankind. It would suck for us but it wouldn't exactly be unjust.

it is from the GOP's point of view, remember how enthusiastic they are about the UN, World Court, etc.

would be nice to see both candidates sued out of the race

A word about fundraising e-mails:

I do not care if you've been up all night crunching fundraising numbers. You are using an extremely over-familiar tone considering I DO NOT KNOW WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE. I have already decided I am voting for the candidate you represent and thusly do not require 20 "updates" from the team each day.

i keep asking them to scale back the number of fundraising emails they send me and that lasts for about a week and then they crank it back up to twice a day again

you can tell them to not send you any more messages, that actually has a legal definition

I am completely fucking dying at McConnell playing dumb after Obama specifically wrote why this bill was bad

jesus christ congress

the sex tape thing is hilarious, even better that the video in question is called "aprentass" lmao

I'm not gonna check it out but I'm like 90% sure it's a parody of Trump's own TV show which makes this even funnier

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/trump-ivanka-made-promise-not-date-younger-article-1.2813061

The casino owner and future Republican nominee told Howard Stern in 1999 that his daughter Ivanka, who was 17 at the time, had made him swear not to date anyone younger than her.

“I have a deal with her. She’s 17 and doing great — Ivanka. She made me promise, swear to her that I would never date a girl younger than her,” Trump said during a taping of Howard Stern’s radio show in June 1999. “So as she grows older, the field is getting very limited.”

oh my fucking god

Wow.

The Chicago Trib also goes 3rd Party.

Note: Benghazi.

Could be fun:

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/trump-zakarian-suit-deposition-video-public

speaking of which

In a Thursday interview, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich slammed Hillary Clinton's resurfacing of Donald Trump's comments about a former Miss Universe as "an ambush that was as false as Benghazi."

"This is the new Benghazi lie," he said in an interview on conservative radio host Sean Hannity's show, as flagged by Buzzfeed.

"It was as false as her claim she was under fire in Bosnia. It was as false as the lies she told about her emails," he added, sparing no political metaphor in his criticism of Clinton. "As happened in Ferguson, as happened in Benghazi, as happened in Bosnia, it’s all starting to fall apart because it’s based on a series of falsehoods."

Increasingly hard to be anything but cynical about WTF newspaper endorsements in a world where clicks are hard to come by

...Ferguson?

...was an inside job, duh! Wake up!

But Newt, I certainly feel like it's true, and that's what matters. Facts have liberal bias, right?

The casino owner and future Republican nominee told Howard Stern in 1999 that his daughter Ivanka, who was 17 at the time, had made him swear not to date anyone younger than her.

I am reasonably certain from context that even adjusting for Trumpian levels of atrocity, that was still meant to be a joke.

It is a spectacularly shitty joke, though.

“Now, somebody who a lot of people don’t give credit to but is in actuality very beautiful is Paris Hilton,” Trump told Stern. “I’ve known Paris Hilton from the time she’s 12, her parents are friends of mine, and the first time I saw her she walked into the room and I said, ‘Who the hell is that?’ At 12, I wasn’t interested… but she was beautiful.” He also admitted to watching Paris Hilton’s sex tape with Knauss, despite knowing her since the age of 12 and being very close friends with the Hilton Family.

Clinton's vision of ever-expanding government is in such denial of our national debt crisis as to be fanciful. Rather than run as a practical-minded Democrat as in 2008, this year she lurched left, pandering to match the Free Stuff agenda of then-rival Bernie Sanders. She has positioned herself so far to the left on spending that her presidency would extend the political schism that has divided America for some 24 years.

Imagine!

I have found the prophet:

yeah because 'spending' is the real root of all of america's political problems - I dont recall the fiscally conservative gop exercising any financial restraint whatsoever from 2000-2008.

both sides do it, mayor

“He (Trump) sends things to her (Kara) on paper from the news—clippings of all his articles he sends her, circles his name, and writes, ‘Billionaire,’” continued Benza. “He’s out of his mind.”

mr. gorbachev, check out sex tape
