Whew

how many days left until the election?

27, counting today.

they'll be hoist on their own petard trying to come up with reasons why those people should be believed but the women accusing Trump shouldn't, especially since only one of the two is running for President.

it's kind of funny because bill clinton is one of the few us citizens over the age of 35 who is _not allowed_ to be president

Wow shit went crazy tonight

oh my god please let there be a Trump sex tape, it's the ending we all deserve

The one real thing Trump is succeeding at is making everyone feel gross about the whole election. It's so ugly to watch that it damages the entire process, the whole system. That could go a lot of ways in the aftermath, and it's way too hopeful to assume that everyone just goes "Well THAT was a mistake, let's get back to normal."

omg the_donald posters are really really gullible

lol look at this nonsense

It's not dead. But it will be wounded. Perhaps Trump will deliver the fatal head wound to The Beast like in the Bible? Eh? eh? ReligionConspiracyPorn anyone? No?

Yep, we're aware of that too. It's amazing how awake we have become. We're fighting both ideologies and shadow governments, and I suspect the Christian right family unit is on the rise. What a time to be alive

My first visit to that glorious bunker.

I also loved "Julian and his staff."

posters unironically posting links to alex jones' sulfur smell accusations wtf is wrong with these ppl

I wonder how many posters there are just trolling for laughs?

Uh, you know how the ending of it looks:

Just a closeup of that face as he noisily expels a dribble of genetic material onto the lower back of some poor unfortunate soul

BREAKING: http://people.com/politics/donald-trump-attacked-people-writer/

jesus there's going to be a divorce no question

eh how dumb can she be? I'm sure she had some idea what she was getting into

By fifteenth or sixteenth woman coming forward to corroborate Trump's penchant for sexual assault, I suspect we'll all be pretty numb to the details.

idk if we talked about the brazile story but apparently the one possibly salacious piece of information from the wikileaks so far turns out to be innocuous:
http://www.nbcnews.com/card/top-sanders-aide-defends-dnc-chair-wikileaks-controversy-n664831

At this point I'm genuinely concerned one of these crazy, armed Trump shitstains is going to take a shot at Clinton before the election.

I guess it's hard to explain why one thing rises above the rest when they're all the same thing, but that People magazine story, jesus, that's so vivid and so horrible

katrina pierson on cnn is next level special texas crazy rn

Unsurprising:

https://twitter.com/costareports/status/786413696713011200

That People Magazine link had 3 videos which all began to autoplay at once. Inadvertantly created a horrible atmosphere full of Trump blather and sexual assault accusations.

People Mag can afford to spar with Trump's legal team. This story is going to be staring at every grocery shopper, some on the edge of their Trump support, for a full week.

what the hell is karl rove good for if he couldn't find this stuff a year ago?

"https://twitter.com/sos_jr/status/785950864200441856";

almost, but not quite, like when McCain stopped a crazy person at a rally to say no, Obama is a decent person, knock it off. It's like every once in a while these white-haired tools have a moment of clarity.

More on the 'soon to come' front:

By the way, the two really, really bad stories I mentioned would soon be dropping still haven't actually dropped.

(I've seen elsewhere there were two in particular. They're obviously being worked on, people know about it, etc.)

That biz is creepy tbh who are these people and why are they being so coy about "stories coming"

Inevitable: Hitler Finds Out Trump is a Serial Sexual Assaulter

xpost -- I can guess any number of reasons.

Trump was behind Balloon Boy

Trump's staff seems to not be prepared for any of this, so if worse things are around the corner there's no reason to tip them off.

Funny thing is, if HRC's oppo staff came up with anything, they seem to be holding their cards and letting the free market of ideas do its thing.

Trump reacts! (World laughs.)

https://twitter.com/mckaycoppins/status/786422653988896768

why would journalists not covering the story break it before the journalists who actually have all the facts?

they just have friends in the industry telling them things - they don't actually have the videotape/transcripts/witnesses/etc

That sounds like a fake law firm.

Funny thing is, if HRC's oppo staff came up with anything, they seem to be holding their cards and letting the free market of ideas do its thing.

they probably figure that at this point, there would be more to lose (via depressed voter turnout) than gain by joining in the revelations offensive.

Or perhaps they are handing off material to the media

still wracking my brain to think what would be worse than the assaults. further details on the rape of his first wife? documented connections to organized crime with some violent outcome directly traceable back to him? more concrete evidence on the rape of the 13 year old (this is the only one I can see really being explosive)

some speculation that makes sense to me: maybe a sex tape? terrible racist comments? i was thinking some anti-semitic tirade would totally destroy him.

Saw this posted on FB, with the comment "This is A+ pandering to the Vegas population. And I'm pretty pumped about it."

On her way to the rally, Clinton stopped at Tacos El Gordo at 1724 E. Charleston Blvd., surprising customers.
