Here’s a fascinating video directed by Josh Begley, stitched together from 200,000 satellite images, graphically illustrating what a ridiculous notion it is to “build a wall” along the entire US-Mexico border.

It’s America’s buffer zone to protect us from Manitoba.
The whole idea that we could build a wall between us and Mexico is pretty much the epitome of the simplistic, one-dimensional thinking that typifies American wingnuts.
Immigrants from Mexico a problem? Build a wall.
Terrorists launch attacks? Ban all Muslims.
No jobs? Kick all the “illegals” out.
Economy tanking? Cut taxes.
And so on and so forth. Anything more complex than a single sentence and their brains begin to hurt.
The Rio Grande sequence was so dizzying.

True story, just happened.
Heard a bang out front of the house. I asked my wife (who was near the front window) what happened. She says she thinks someone fell. I said OK and went on doing dishes. She looked out the window and said “no, someone had a case of beer and it broke, there are beer cans everywhere.” I rushed to see if they needed help.

Speaking of Snopes debunking SMOTI, here’s another recent one:
The entirety of Gateway Pundit article, reproduced above (with the exception of a video in which Donald Trump tells Hillary Clinton that she would be in jail if he were President), consisted of a catchy title, a baseless claim, and a screenshot of Mook’s Twitter page. Gateway Pundit did not point to a single tweet that Mook had purportedly deleted or provide any evidence that his Twitter account was altered after the FBI’s announcement.
The Gateway Pundit deleted their article shortly after publication (most likely because it was not backed up by any factual evidence) but, rumors continued to circulate that Mook had deleted his Twitter feed:

Yeah, the “serious” conservatives who I’d noted the other day had gone into silent running are now back, have forgiven Comey for his trespass against them, and are back to being convinced that the FBI is gonna reverse itself and finally give them the recommendation for indictment they feel entitled to and Lynch will play her part in refusing to indict and thus make her the villain again. And even if she doesn’t, the revelation that Hillary got “caught” will throw the election back to Trump.

I like to quote the Federalist Papers (No. 43) when RWNJs start talking about “treason”:
As treason may be committed against the United States, the authority of the United States ought to be enabled to punish it. But as new-fangled and artificial treasons have been the great engines by which violent factions, the natural offspring of free government, have usually wreaked their alternate malignity on each other, the convention have, with great judgment, opposed a barrier to this peculiar danger, by inserting a constitutional definition of the crime, fixing the proof necessary for conviction of it, and restraining the Congress, even in punishing it, from extending the consequences of guilt beyond the person of its author.

Honestly, I don’t know what’s going to happen to the GOP after this election. I’m just not sympathetic to them at all. We needed a sane opposition party when President Obama was elected. And what have they given us? Petty bullshit because they couldn’t handle that Obama beat McCain in one of the best run presidential campaigns by a Democratic candidate in a while. A lot of their “sane” ones are going to try to act like Trump wasn’t the actual voice of the GOP but we know that’s bullshit. We know because we know what the GOP really wants out of their candidates. Maybe some Republicans did sincerely start out with a belief in limited government but the Republican Party has never actually practiced limited government in the modern era. No, instead they fret about things like transgendered people being able to go the bathroom of their choice. They deride Obama as a “community organizer” and then nominate Donald fucking Trump as their nominee. Cry about being called deplorables while their base shouts things like “Trump that bitch” or “jail her”.

There will be a runoff between a Republican and, probably, the Democrat Foster Campbell, a good guy and excellent longtime public servant, although doubtless too conservative for people who can’t grasp the fact that Louisiana will never vote for anyone really liberal. Unfortunately, Campbell will almost certainly lose to the Republican, who will be no better than a “David Duke without the baggage.” But Duke himself has almost no chance. I almost wish he would make the runoff, because he would be easier to beat than almost any of the other Republican nutjobs.

Cleveland’s Carlos Santana just hit a home run: Chi 1-0 Cle
You know what’s bad? Between work and volunteering on the campaign, despite preordering Civilization 6, I didn’t know it had actually been released.
And it’s not like I have time to play it either.
Just wanted to report that my sister, who hadn’t voted in 25 years, early voted for Hillary. Yeah, it’s one vote and in Massachusetts, but I truly believe that there are a whole lot of women so repulsed by Trump that they will move mountains to vote for Hillary.
Day 9 of the never-ending project (if all shifts had been filled and everyone had shown up, it would be over) which will now go through Monday night. Have worked between 12 and 17 hours every day and am so fucking tired I can barely see straight.
If all goes (reasonably) well, I get to go home Tuesday.
Have been reading steadily, but not much time to comment as there is a steady flow of people, paperwork and problems.
They have the TV blaring in the room where I work, and I have never seen so fucking many political ads in my life. The Trump and McCrory ads are nauseating—McCrory even has one where his wife yammers on about being a small businessperson or some such nonsense.
Haven’t seen that many signs or bumper stickers (and all have been local) but the cutest is some guy named Forest who is running for something or other, and his signs are like BurmaShave signs—
Run
Forest
Run
then his campaign sign.

re: #117 BeachDem
My mother just turned in her ballot in Illinois, her first ever time voting (I have discussed the reasons for that before). She and my step-father both voted for Clinton/Duckworth.

Trump’s next proposal will be a big net around America.
Under the Dome.
The greatest Dome. So good.

Yeah I think Trump’s defeat will be owed very much so to women rejecting him largely. It’s something that I think cannot be ignored.
David Fahrenthold really pegs Trump:
For as long as he has been rich and famous, Donald Trump has also wanted people to believe he is generous. He spent years constructing an image as a philanthropist by appearing at charity events and by making very public — even nationally televised — promises to give his own money away.
It was, in large part, a facade. A months-long investigation by The Washington Post has not been able to verify many of Trump’s boasts about his philanthropy.
…
But that’s not entirely a story about how Trump gives money away. It’s also a story about how Trump makes money.Charities pay him to rent out his clubs and banquet rooms for fundraiser galas. At the Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, they can pay $275,000 or more for a single night. Sometimes, Trump has given donations from the Trump Foundation to the charities that are his customers. But in some of those cases, he still comes out ahead
The picture at the top of the article is about an AIDS charity that Trump crashed, danced at, and then left without donating any money.
Alright guys. Going to watch a movie. Have a good night. Hope it’s a good baseball game but I’m pulling for the Tribe ultimately but good baseball is always good.

Hell, I remember listening to Pirate games as a kid with Bob Prince and he would only go to commercials after a couple innings. Damn, the way they are going with these broadcasts now is there nothing that a company can’t sponsor.

I saw a documentary from the 60s about how the Chinese were going to tunnel under in order to invade us and plant A-bombs under our cities.
There was a Hammer film, Battle Beneath The Earth where the Chinese were tunneling to put nuclear weapons under US cities.
Cleveland with a man on second, Chicago intentionally walks the next batter because the Cleveland pitcher is on-deck.

re: #44 Stanley Sea
Someone was asking about him throwing the 3 finger OK sign. It’s not representing Trump’s mannerisms as some have said.
It’s something more. We don’t understand.
The three extended fingers represent flames. The thumb and index finger represent an asshole. So it’s a way of identifying oneself as a flaming asshole.
Ha…Kluber gets a junk hit and some good base running. Cleveland is here to play tonight.
Oh noes! Pitcher hits to third, third baseman throws to first, Rizzo bobbled the ball, Cleveland pitcher scores a base hit and the runner on second scores. Cle 2-1 Chi

Oops.
I think it’s quite possible they can’t get a warrant. A judge might not be persuaded that these additional emails - found by happenstance after the original investigation has already concluded and found no basis for prosecution - aren’t a fishing expedition with almost no likelihood of changing the original conclusion.
Aaaa … Cle 3 - 1 Chi after a run driven in during the third.

BTB is supporting a man who has boasted about sexually assaulting women, lies about charitable donations, is on his third wife, admits to being a womanizer, has ogled nude teenagers, cusses on the campaign trail during rallies, was found liable for racial discrimination, promotes violence against protesters at his rallies and encouraged a foreign country to back his opponent’s emails.
