And now, our jaw-droppingly bizarre and massively inappropriate Donald Trump moment of the day. There are no words.
Did he take some Tic Tacs first?
The sign looks like it is recoiling…
There are no words.
Except maybe, ‘Can’t you hide that?’
We’re seeing before our very eyes a desperate man displaying complete insanity on the national stage.
Who would win the presidency today?
Chance of winning
Hillary Clinton 90.7%
Donald Trump 9.3%Electoral votes
Hillary Clinton 347.7
Donald Trump 190.1
I had to run to the next room to get the brain bleach.
The Trump campaign sent a fundraising email Wednesday morning claiming that “all the momentum” was on their side — and they used what appears to be a map showing only male voters’ preferences to prove it.
The email from the Trump campaign, signed by Eric Trump, featured the following map, according to the Washington Post:

One thing I notice in all three variations of the map? Johnson’s poll numbers are falling…and they’re not going to Trump. Either people are telling pollsters that they’re not going to vote…or they’re changing their voters to Hillary. If the latter, then that bodes very well.

Just out of curiosity, if turns out the Trump campaign was actively (as far as intel ops go) supported by Vlad & the Kremlin Crew, and things come to violence, maybe organized such, where does it put Trump and his campaign?
Oh my. Kellyanne Conway is on The Newshour telling us they don’t have to worry about polls because they are about to start advertising in swing states-and besides their voters are extremely enthusiastic. Trump has to take his case directly to the voters…

try-hard
A person who puts a large amount of effort into achieving a certain image, or counter-image, to the point where it is obviously contrived. Rather than achieving an image through genuine personality, the try-hard consciously attempts to fit a certain style through deliberate imitation, forced style, or scripted behavior. That is to say, he/she is trying hard to create an image.

re: #75 Skip Intro

Much more basic: keeping their audience, and thus their income, means maintaining a just-so-story in which the other side is irredeemable. As other sources create new narratives that are more crazy, more reliant on the leaps of conspiracy thinking, Rush and co. have to keep up. Like needing bigger, badder opiates to chase the dragon. This isn’t going to end with Trump. It’s going to be stab-in-the-back myths, all the time, until a total nutter wins.
And when a total nutter wins, the speculation and lies will become true, because that’s the real end game: to counterfeit the past, thus justifying an unjustifiable set of positions in the present.
