Trumpkins have had a few basic responses to the Newsweek article and to this tweetstorm:
“BENGHAZI!”
“CLINTON FOUNDATION!”
“HILLARY SOLD URANIUM TO RUSSIA!”
“WHO CARES THE WITCH IS DYING ANYWAY!”
“MAJOR DONORS BECAME AMBASSADORS!”
Or they focus on the fact that the article says there’s no proof that the Trump Organization itself did anything illegal. That of course misses the point that the issue is not whether or not the Trump Organization itself did anything illegal. The issue is how Trump would act as POTUS given his very real financial conflicts of interest that often go against what would be in the country’s best interest.

METROCARE HOME SERVICES, INC.
21 East 26th Street, 4th Fl
New York, NY 10010
Note: This facility is closed or has merged with another facility. Information here is maintained for historical purposes only.
But here’s the rub. These people don’t care that a health care business could run out of an apartment (or residential location) as a home office. They think that this is proof that Hillary went to a super-secret medical facility at Chelsea’s place, and this is the smoking gun.

Enrique Gomez, a political writer for the Cleveland Plain Dealer, shares the vile and racist E-mails and tweets he’s getting from Mr. Trump’s supporters.
In the case of one Twitter user, he left her Twitter handle in the article, figuring if she was willing to publicly post it to the Plain Dealer, she should have no problem with it appearing in the newspaper.
Mr. Gomez is a natural born American. His father’s family came from Mexico four generations ago, and his mother’s family is Italian. (He points out the family shares a weird mix of family Mexican and Italian recipes.)

It’s plausible that the hotels already weren’t making the big bucks, given Trump’s talent for running businesses into the ground. And the $5 billion for the Trump ‘brand’ was always Trump-grade bullshit.
I see Trump as going for real income (in paltry amounts for a supposed billionaire) by sequential scams like Trump university.

re: #87 MsJ
I have never disliked a presidential candidate as much as I absolutely, with every fiber of my being, hate trump. I so want for not only his presidential ambitions to go down in a fiery plume of nuclear waste, but I want every business concern he is even tangentially associated with to to fail and fail big.
Yeah, I want to burn this bitch down to the ground, stomp the ashes to dust and launch the dust particles into outer space. There needs to be consequences for peddling the kind of hate trump has been selling for the last year and a half.
Same here. Even though Trump is a concentration of toxic trends in the Republican party that have been there for decades, he has crossed a significant threshold IMO.

When’s the last time anyone lost an election because they relaxed? The history I’ve seen is that those that run around panicked, trying to adjust polling, are those that lose. Understanding historical trends and GOTV seems to be how you win.

Just don’t get discouraged by polling this early out. Also, Trump will get a minimum of 45ish% of the vote no matter what. Hell, Hitler could run and it would be a ‘close’ race.

At this point, as far as I am concerned, anyone still a GOP candidate is no longer enough for me.
At one time denouncing Mr. Trump, like my Senator Ben Sasse did, would be enough. Staying in a party supporting a fascist to me now says the person is still supporting the fascist.
I have more respect for the state senator here who said “screw this” and joined the Libertarian Party.
That means there will be an awful lot of blank lines on my ballot (since I get a choice between a GOP candidate and “write in”).

Racial and gender gaps continue to divide American likely voters:
White voters back Trump 51 - 41 percent and
non-white voters back Clinton 66 - 19 percent;Men back Trump 50 - 41 percent, while women back Clinton 54 - 36 percent.
Trump getting even 19% of the minority vote seems high. I wonder what W. Bush and Romney’s numbers were with minority voters.

My wife’s historical brush with fame is Jesse James, her first cousin three times removed (via Cole Younger, her great-great-uncle). My wife is a Younger.
In another twist, my brother in law purchased a piece of property in Texas owned by the Northfield Bank in Minnesota (the one the James Gang attempted to rob). The title was fouled up (it was actually two different pieces of property as he and his lawyer found), so the Younger clan finally got their revenge (Northfield Bank tried to back out when they discovered the error, he threatened to sue and they let the second property go).

Interesting tidbit from a link embedded in the article:
Romney pollster Neil Newhouse says the poll shows “encouraging movement” in the wake of the first debate in Denver. Obama pollster Joel Benenson calls the method used to identify likely voters flawed.
“In the last election, Gallup’s registered voter model — not its likely voter model — was a much more accurate predictor, with their likely model missing the mark in 2010 by 9 points right before the election,” Benenson says. “That explains why Gallup’s results are way out of line with a dozen recent swing state polls that show the president with a double-digit lead among women.”

he plays a doctor on tv /// ratings
Many things about that case scream “not credible”. Looks more like a Larry Sinclair thing. So I don’t expect serious media to run with it (unless the improbable happens and serious evidence appears).
Basically that’s all Oz did, provided some air of believability to the report of a man who he’s never met and who nobody takes seriously. Oz did not conduct the physical, wasn’t in the same room as it went on, and probably has nobody’s word but Trump’s that the report is authentic. But he’s reading it because he’s guaranteed higher ratings for having Trump on his show and Trump’s having him read it because Oz will be taken seriously where Dr. Feelgood would be laughed off the stage.

I so fucking sick of these fuckers, their enablers in sports and at colleges:
Delaney Robinson, a sophomore at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, held a press conference on Tuesday during which she accused Allen Artis, a fellow student and football player, of raping her. What’s more, 19-year-old Robinson said that while she cooperated with law enforcement and campus officials in the wake of the incident, the school has failed to adequately investigate her allegations.
“My life has changed forever,” Robinson told reporters, “while the person who assaulted me continues as a student and a football player on this campus.”
On Wednesday, Artis turned himself in to authorities. According to CNN, he was released on a $5,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday. He has also been suspended indefinitely from the football team.The alleged assault took place back in February at an apartment complex on campus. Robinson says she went to the hospital and was examined by a nurse trained in sexual assaults. A rape kit was administered. She also met with investigators with the school’s department of public safety, whom she says subjected her to “humiliating and accusatory questions.”
What was I wearing? What was I drinking? How much did I drink? How much did I eat that day? Did I lead him on? Have I hooked up with him before? Do I often have one night stands? Did I even say no? What is my sexual history? How many men have I slept with? I was treated like a suspect.
My humiliation turned to anger when I listened to the recorded interviews of my rapist by DPS. Rather than accusing him of anything, the investigators spoke to him with a tone of comradery. They provided reassurances to him when he became upset. They even laughed with him when he told them how many girls’ phone numbers he had managed to get on the same night he raped me. They told him, “don’t sweat it, just keep on living your life and playing football.”

When I was a kid we drove every few months to visit my father’s mom in an extremely
rural part of north Louisiana. The parish was (and still is) dry. Daddy always pointed out what he said were the two biggest houses in the area. They were next-door neighbors, were very opulent by local standards, and the owners were said to be good friends. One was the parish’s main moonshiner. The other was the sheriff.

Exactly. What a close election will show is that a Republican racist who knows how to not shit on the floor will get at least 45% of the vote. If he doesn’t embarrass himself constantly for a year, the media will laud him as a true statesman.
This all started about 3 weeks ago with that awful AP story, and hasn’t let up since. Trump is truly getting a boost from the media and I can’t figure out why they hate Hillary but not Trump. He’s deplorable.

re: #181 Anymouse
Out-of-towners just came to my front door, asking my wife to “share some thoughts about the Bible.” She asked them if she could share some thoughts about reason and science, they said “no thanks” and left.
Must be my village’s turn again: About once every two years the JW’s come by to try to drum up business.
A couple of women stopped walked into my backyard garage and asked to speak to me. Noticed one was carrying a Bible. I was obviously busy on a woodworking project and said so. I also said that I grew up discussing and arguing theology with prominent members of many religions (folks visiting my dad) and they really didn’t want to engage me on the topic.
One asked “What’s theology?”. The other had a clue and grabbed her companion’s arm to lead her away. With that as the first question, I suspect they wouldn’t have enjoyed the conversation.
I must confess to muttering “get off my lawn” as they left. Being old has it’s perks. ;)
