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

(Not advocating droning in general, just specifically the droning of Assange. Would also accept melting or exsanguination.)

he hasn't done anything worthy of the death penalty and I prefer the rule of law and everything but... yeah I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. he's scum of the earth, not a US citizen, and repeatedly demonstrated his status as a risk to US nat'l security

Hillary's personal pain cannot excuse the fact that her administration will feel like one of those sclerotic early 80s Russian governments.

i feel like there isn't a single white male twitter leftist or really almost any white human of any political persuasion who can say with a straight face that he'll be "oppressed" in a fashion comparable to any USSR administration under hilldog, but that's not really gonna stop proclaimed likely jill stein voter bro pair, because after all an accurate statement like "it'll be moderate, prob too much so, and we should aim to elect congresspeople and local leaders who'll be more progressive whenever possible but hey it's not the potential fascist apocalypse" doesn't up yr klout score

re: the "hillary wanted to drone assange" thing i saw more than a few people on my twitter feed this morning who took that completely at face value, which was kinda hilarious because again, of all the ppl being killed in such a fashion (which i'm 100 percent not endorsing) a rapist white troll who won't leave his hotel room for fear of indictment is not one of them, lol c'mon

It's cool that we have leftists comparing Hillary to Andropov and Chernenko.

well she is sick all the time

adding "stupidly literal-minded" to ILXpundit attributes

oh whoops added that in 2007

At this point he will probably rebound two weeks from now due to reversion to mean and we'll play out this soap opera one more time before E.D.

Presume that stands for electile dysfunction har har

re Andropov I think "Silver Spoons" had an episode where Ricky Schroeder is on a class trip to the White House, somehow ends up answering the Red Phone, and tells the then-Soviet leader to "Walk to the edge of a cliff, Yuri.... Andropov!"

Where is Assange in the world where a drone strike makes any sense? Would it be like a little Amazon drone with a pistol taped to it following him nonchalant through the market, pretending to look at apples when he senses that he is being followed and turns around anxiously? Maybe "drone strike" is just code for Hillary calling him up to have a long talk about emails and policies.

Michael Reagan tweeted that Nancy woulda voted for HRC btw. Kumbaya!

Michael loathes Nancy

He might as well have said, "Nancy was having sex with Barbara Bush on the White House china."

Mmmm

Chi-nuh

誤訳侮辱, do you have any cute names for the shitbags who'll be in her Cabinet?

@JessicaTaylor
Ron Paul on MSNBC says Gary Johnson isn't a true libertarian, will likely vote for Jill Stein instead.

imagine if bill clinton said, 'if chelsea weren't my daughter, perhaps i'd be dating her'

A reminder that drone strikes are only surgical compared to carpet bombing - other people (okay, including friends of friends of mine) work in the Ecuadorean Embassy so I'd rather not.

In other news, Trump's 5-D chess set still missing some pieces.

is it wrong to feel sort of uncomfortable wrt all of the lol-ing and/or concern trolling over creepy things Trump has said about Ivanka? it seems kind of like Ivanka is collateral damage when ppl use this stuff to attack her father?

I imagine she's p damaged alright

She's collateral damage in the human shield sense.

Re: Trump's PA speech, I guess I can see where it might have utility when speaking in front of a national audience, but why tf, at this point, would Trump invoke Bernie over and over at his rallies? Am I making that mistake of thinking that anything resembling rational decision making is informing Trump's perpetual id-gasm?

(A thousand pardons for my own unwieldy gerund-gasm in that last sentence.)

I imagine he was trying to capitalize on that "bombshell" audio of Clinton trying to figure out how to reach Sanders voters, but he can't concentrate for more than a few seconds so he lost the plot and just resorted to his standard tactic of calling Sanders a loser.

that 'bombshell' was nothing, if you listened to the audio she's clearly sympathetic to people? who the fuck actually thought it was some kind of condemnation? GOP desperate and grasping for straws

meanwhile I can't even keep up with the bad things happening to trump lately. ptsd, foundation, taxes

there'll be three more in a few hours

I love how he's getting his debate prep from Giuliani and Christie, two losers who will do him absolutely no good

I wonder what will happen to those closest to him if Trump loses

It's amusing how one minute, Trmp'll be courting disaffected Sanders voters - "We feel your pain, we know she's crooked and everything is rigged; come over to the dark side" - and the next minute he's calling them pathetic losers who live in their parents' basements.

The dude evidently has no interest in courting voters who aren't already in his column, and no idea that that might have something to do with winning this here "election" thingy. It is weird and wonderful to see.

Everybody's telling me I need to do better with women. So clearly what I need is more tweets reiterating that Alicia Machado was REALLY a porker, I mean oink oink, seriously. Plus, Rosie O'Donnell? Bette Midler? Carly Fiorina? Yeah, total woofers. They had it coming, surely everyone agrees.

Christie will be found drowned in a vat of cheetos

xp

ailes will explode in a mass of slimy flesh and squid ink

who the fuck actually thought it was some kind of condemnation?

the bernie fan in my fb feed who'd rather trump won than hillary, fwiw

On the other hand maybe he'll teach a spin class

xxp

The headline characterizations of Hillary's remarks (which were uniformly negative) is likely the only thing a lot of people saw, esp if they're inclined to hate her.

imo the ptsd comment seems...not particularly bad. esp taken in context. maybe a little clumsy, and demonstrating a lack of understanding of PTSD, but it didn't seem disrespectful

I think he was accused of using this as a pick up line verbatim back at the Fox offices

The "basement dweller" thing isn't about actually convincing Sanders die hards to vote for Trumo as much as just suppress potential votes for Hlllary. The only people I've seen view the leaked audio as anything other than sympathetic are right wing creeps and some of the more aggressively idiotic Stein supporters.

like, it wasn't even remotely close to the comments he made about john mccain, which remain the gold standard for insulting combat veterans

xp

aggressively idiotic Stein supporters

Redundant.

i'm not a Stein 'supporter' but shove it, you voting with the Bushes and Kissinger on yr moral high ground.

how do you reconcile Hil's 'empathy' -- sounds to me more like 'the poor misguided dears' -- with Bill Clinton's memorable springtime sneer, "Shoot every third person on Wall Street, things will be fine"? Don't these partners think alike?

post-election, Giuliani will return to his Crypt and resume providing pun-laden introductions to ironic tales of depravity and gore

xp

many xps evan: yeah, probably

Well, kiddies, looks like SHRILLARY really took a DUMP on TRUMP! But don't worry. I have a feeling he's going to be SERVER-ing her a fresh helping of deleted SCREAM-mails about her membership in the BENGHAZI Party any day now! EEEE-HEE-HEE-HEE-HEE!

heh
