Hey headumbass, if you look at the timestamp when I said that no one could report what had happened yet. But, why bother with you? It's like any time you step in dog$hit, you get the immediate need to scrape it off your shoes.

[dented146]

I am offended by most of what Trump has to say. But in this case, I believe Hillary acknowledged the bombing within a minute of Trump.

[SNAFU]

Liza do us all a favor and STFU! Thank-you in advance Troll!

[South Florida]

She needs to speak calmly, she's not offensive when she is not trying to stir people.  Just let Obama go out and campaign for her and just show up at the debates.  The less the better.  PJ, your candidate sucks balls.

[PalJoey]

That's okay. So do I.

 

Here's Bernie, finally delivering that 10-inch dildo.

 

 

"We have got to do everything we can to make sure that Hillary Clinton is elected president."

Good one PJ

[South Florida]

Her surrogates, Biden, Michelle, Barack, and now Bernie, if she can't crush with this lineup?

 

[madbrian]

Warren should be added to that list, however I wish she'd ease up on the Trump attacks and use her impressive skills to explain the policy differences. She has unique rhetorical gifts that are not being leveraged. 

[dented146]

My feeling is that what the candidates are saying is pretty much being ignored. How else can you explain Trump. People are angry; certainly Trump's core supporters are. Events in the past as well as events currently are the key. Even though a majority feel Hillary might be better combating terrorism, every attack helps Trump because Obama's response to it has been wimpy and Hillary has aligned herself with the President.

The fact of the matter is that a majority of Americans feel that taking in refugees from Syria is stupid beyond reason. These attacks just reinforce that belief even though the terrorists are usually citizens. Common sense is not part of this political campaign.

Aside from the fact that Hillary is the sane candidate, I feel that the decent economy is the only thing keeping her afloat. If the market was to tank, so would Hillary.

[Steve C.]

How on earth did we get where we are? Really? Donald Trump Jr. said he compares Syrian refugees to Skittles..."If I told you only 3 will kill you ,do you take a handful?" 

http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/news/a48728/donald-trump-jr-just-compared-syrian-refugees-to-poisoned-skittles/

Is this someone that we want in the White House? This daddy's boy shouldn't be allowed any where near 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

[Steve C.]

Samantha Bee really calls out Jimmy Fallon for that horrendous interview with Trump. I still can't believe Fallon did all that stomach churning sucking up. (Jimmy, he's running for President to ruin our country and you want to mess up his wig..I mean hair?) Looks like you're drinking the kool-aid. 

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/09/19/samantha-bee-destroys-fallon-s-trump-sit-down-i-guess-ratings-matter-more-than-brown-people.html

Maybe Trump gave Jimmy a condo, just pathetic. And I thought he was banned from NBC. Samantha's show gets overlooked (is it the Woman Card?) She still has all the bite she used on the Daily Show.

"Very right Dented.  Even Mrs Merkel is forced to agree that her handling of refugees is disaster after the recent election in Germany has forced her to admit that 82% of Germans are unhappy with the refugee policy,and it showed in the election

Merkel, I was wrong on refugees

She's right, of course.  But Fallon is out of the Leno mold, the "I don't offend anyone" mantra. Makes you miss the superior interview skills that David Letterman possessed. 

[Steve C.]

You are so right, adam...he's useless fodder to me now..

and now, another example of Trump using other peoples' money and breaking laws. Trump used more than $250,000 from his charity to pay legal bills. This from WaPo...

Whether it's us in the US or other countries around the world, just how stupid will we look if this joker gets elected??

More of Bernie and the 10-inch dildo.

Bernie Sanders

September 17 at 9:46pm · 

This is not the time for a protest vote, in terms of a presidential campaign.

I ran as a third-party candidate. I'm the longest-serving independent in the history of the United States Congress. I know more about third-party politics than anyone else in the Congress. And if people want to run as third-party candidates, God bless them! Run for Congress. Run for governor. Run for state legislature.

When we're talking about president of the United States, in my own personal view, this is not time for a protest vote. This is time to elect Hillary Clinton and then work after the election to mobilize millions of people to make sure she can be the most progressive president she can be.

[South Florida]

? you're a nutter.

 

[Steve C.]

Great article in the New York Times today about the aforementioned Samantha Bee's much needed rebuttal to suck ups NBC and Jimmy Fallon. In case you missed it last night, HRC was on and gave Fallon a bag of softballs.

News Alert:

The Tonight Show is a comedy show.  Not a news show.  Jimmy Fallon is a comedian, not a journalists.  Most of us do not want politics to be thrown in our face during every show. It is why he and Leno before him are always #1 and Colbert is last.  There are other places to go to get your interviews. 

[PalJoey]

That's a load of hooey.

[ErikJ972]

"How did we get here?"

"The gap between Trump’s America and Clinton’s is getting worse"

"As a lot of political observers have noted, Trump’s grim-sounding language about a downcast America makes more sense if you realize just what’s happening for his rural base. And buried in the Census Bureau’s new report on income, poverty and health insurance, released Tuesday, are two piece of further bad news for rural America—trends that could keep shaping politics well after November’s election.

For Americans living in metropolitan areas, inflation-adjusted household income rose by 6 percent from 2014 to 2015—a robust bounce back from the recession. But for those living outside those areas­—totaling more than 40 million Americans—household income actually fell by 2 percent. The numbers on poverty reveal a similar trend. The number of people in poverty in rural areas did fall by 800,000, but that doesn’t appear to be because people are escaping poverty: Instead, people are simply leaving. The rural population, in that span of time, declined by five million people. Taken in total, the rural poverty rate actually rose slightly, by 0.2 percentage points. In the rest of country, the poverty rate declined by 1.4 percentage points.

The Census numbers come atop other findings about the worsening plight of rural Americans: they also face increasing addiction rates and increasing suicide rates. But Tuesday’s Census reports reveals just how unevenly distributed the economic recovery has been. Cities have bounced back, but the gains haven’t spread to those Americans."

NY TIMES says it better than I tried to early in day

 

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/21/opinion/campaign-stops/clintons-samantha-bee-problem.html?_r=1

When the histories of the Trump era are written from exile in Justin Trudeau’s Canada, they will record that it was none other than Jimmy Fallon who brought down the republic.

Or so you might have thought, at least, listening the furious liberal reaction to Fallon’s willingness to treat Trump like any other late-night guest last week: kidding around with him, mussing up his combover and steering clear of anything that would convey to late-night television viewers that Trump is actually beyond the pale.

On late-night television, it was once understood that David Letterman was beloved by coastal liberals and Jay Leno more of a Middle American taste. But neither man was prone to delivering hectoring monologues in the style of the “Daily Show” alums who now dominate late night. Fallon’s apolitical shtick increasingly makes him an outlier among his peers, many of whom are less comics than propagandists — liberal “explanatory journalists” with laugh lines

From Stephen Colbert’s winsome liberalism to Seth Meyers’s class-clown liberalism to Bee’s bluestocking feminism to John Oliver’s and Trevor Noah’s lectures on American benightedness is to enter an echo chamber from which the imagination struggles to escape.

[ErikJ972]

That's one of the dumbest articles I've read about this election. And that's saying alot. 

[Petralicious]

its mostly about the Late Night Hosts preaching and they nail it.

What exactly defines a "protest vote"? Does voting for the candidate who best represents your values, even if that candidate is not a mainstream choice, constitute a protest vote?

To me, a protest vote means voting for someone you don't like to spite someone you really don't like. For instance, if I lived in Virginia, I'd probably vote for Clinton to harm Trump's chances of winning. That would be a protest vote against Trump, not an endorsement of Clinton. On the other hand, I plan to vote for Johnson (for reasons I've explained previously) as an affirmative choice, imperfect as he is.
