This video hits very close to home (had trouble keeping the tears back).
With 1/6 of the electorate having 1 or more disabilities, and 1/4 having either themself or a family member disabled, should hit home as a priority for health care
(rather than a predictable source of humor about deaf and spastic and otherwise impaired people)
Channeling or acting out the 3rd debate, a gorilla escaped his cage but was led calmly back to his cage, but not before eating 5 gallons of black currant kvash making Trump kvetch. It's over, folks, you can all go safely back home/inside.
In a slick move, Trump plans to face HRC with the horror of a supportive African-American.
I think he was confused by this movie, which, of course, has no relevance to the debate context...
Nor, crucially, are the Trumpniks a majority. Polls give every indication that Hillary Clinton is going to beat Trump, just as she beat Bernie Sanders — who also drew larger rally crowds and more think pieces than she did — in the Democratic primary. Clinton crowds aren’t as big, and her voters aren’t as loud or as interesting to the media. But there sure are a lot of them. And it’s about time we acknowledge them and their emergence as a new silent majority that reelected America’s first black president and is poised to elect its first woman.
A pretty amazing article overall - lots to agree and disagree with. Okay, not sure what I disagreed with, but didn't read all that carefully...
Relax, it won't affect Russian Intelligence Wikileaks "ability to carry out its journalistic activities."
I don't know if the Wikileaks leaks are good or bad - if Hillary had said she opposed TPP on Investor State Dispute Settlement and because of weaknesses in the Korean trade deal, either we wouldn't have believed her or would have just ignored it. How do we know? Because she did say that & that's how the public and media responded.
It's a pain to have the Wikileaks emails dripping out now, but overall it's largely like Manning's leaks - more good + inconvenience than actual harm. I still don't think it's fair for 1 side in an election to be outed piece by piece including their internal strategy and normal debates. But it's turning into a good free campaign advertisement. Even millennials seem to have taken notice. More cowbell.
Yes, with positive pro-Hillary reasons, not just anti-Trump. Surprised?
Another typical slam on Hillary with the "facts" - of course she didn't laugh at a rape victim, and the only reason she pled the rapist down was because the state had botched the case, losing the evidence.
File this as #13 of H&R Block's 17 reasons not to believe the bullshit.
One week before the state’s deadline to register to vote, state police raided the Indianapolis office of the Indiana Voter Registration Project, seizing computers, cellphones and records....A spokesman for the state police said "at least 10” applications were confirmed to be fraudulent...45,000 people, most of them African Americans, might be unable to vote. BTW, a fraudulent voter registration application are often things like signing John I. Doe when the name registered is John Isaac Doe. Disenfranchising 44,990 voters for 10 such clerical errors is criminal fraud.
Is it too little, too late or too much? (Sorry, I was just channeling the MSM.)
Presuming this leak is accurate, it portrays a clear "unforced error" as Mook puts it. It does highlight a Clinton weakness with optics - not incurable (as the thread shows she acquiesced), but a shortcoming to pay attention to and overcompensate for.
On August 25, after a short trip to Baton Rouge to assess flooding in Louisiana and before what will likely be his last visit to China on Air Force One, Barack Obama sat down at the White House to reflect on the past eight years. He led America through a period of dramatic, convulsive change — an era that New York Magazine explores this week in its cover story. Before his conversation with Jonathan Chait, he chose five moments that, he believes, will have outsized historical impact. Here is their conversation in full.
As the number of accusers mounts almost by the hour, a search of the current odds, the over/under, or the total score in the Trump Pussy Bowl returns (sadly) no relevant sites.
The imagination of human beings, it seems, is insufficient as yet to come to grips with the size of the probable number.
I am Sidney Blumenthal. At least, that is what Vladimir Putin—and, somehow, Donald Trump—seem to believe. And that should raise concerns not only about Moscow’s attempts to manipulate this election but also about how Trump came to push Russian disinformation to American voters.
And Kurt Eichenwald isn't a casual writer.
The absence of indignation evinced by Trumps Zombie Army in the face of the accumulated "ick" factor makes me doubt that any additional umbrage is to be anticipated when the ages of another cohort of peeping victims become public.
Is it worse when they are minors? Only Mike Pence knows for sure.
Newsweek reporter Kurt Eichenwald notes in his article,
Dear Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, I Am Not Sidney Blumenthal,
He recognized his own words in a Wki-Leak-dumped email purportedly written to Clinton from Sidney Blumenthal. It was cut & pasted to give the opposite impression, and the words were not Eichenwald's in the first place.
Donald ran with it, eliciting the usual "Lock her up!" Reaction from the crowd.

Well, Ruth - better to be down on your knee than on your belly or back - at least if you're black. I appreciate your talking down Trump, but a few other issues to get out of the way.
But he got your attention, so Colin's tack is working - hope it gets resolved in public before it ends up in the Supreme Court docket. #BlackTrialsMatter
Three Syrian refugees in Germany overpowered a bomb suspect who gave elite commandos the slip and sparked a two-day manhunt, police have revealed....Although aware of who he was, the man took the suspect back to his flat in the Paunsdorf area of north-eastern Leipzig where he and his flatmates overpowered him.
Current and former professional athletes have spoken out after Donald Trump defended his comments on using fame to grope women without their consent as “locker room” talk during Sunday’s presidential debate.“As an athlete, I’ve been in locker rooms my entire adult life and uh, that’s not locker room talk,” Oakland Athletics pitcher Sean Doolittle wrote on Twitter. Many others echoed his sentiments... Clippers coach Doc Rivers, when asked by TMZ about Trump’s comments, quipped : “That’s a new locker room for me.”
Hard bitch-slap by the President just hours before the big debate. Obama is f-cking with Trump's head.
