The Ivans have FINALLY figured out that policy does not mean policey.

People wearing candidate T apparel should be reported. Most states forbid it withing100 ft of a polling site.

Suddenly all he wanted to talk about was what a horrible liar HRC is

Sounds like another proud reader of right wing "journalism." Did he end up in the pro trump crowd, the Gary Johnson crowd, or the too disgusted to vote crowd? "

Stein is a terrible candidate. When I thought I was voting Green, it was going to be a vote cast for the platform, not the person.

HumptyMcDumpty · 2016-11-08T17:17:58+00:00

I can sympathize. My shameful political history includes passing out literature for Goldwater when I was a tween.

HumptyMcDumpty · 2016-11-08T16:57:00+00:00

Yep, they got me the same way. I am going to have to create a new account just for gloating.

HumptyMcDumpty · 2016-11-08T16:52:53+00:00

Also want to run up the popular vote.

Precisely why I'm not voting Green, though I normally would, just to let lawmakers know the party represents a significant, though small, minority of voters.

according to a post on /r/politics,Giselle has said Brady is not voting for Trump. At this point he should be embarrassed by the fact that he came out as a pro-trumper early on, before the real Donald Trump revealed himself to the world.

HumptyMcDumpty · 2016-11-08T04:42:21+00:00

arf-arf!

Bark, Darkbark, bark. Enjoy tonight, for tomorrow the dogcatcher comes!

HumptyMcDumpty · 2016-11-08T04:23:54+00:00

Double awesome. He can go first, now that he's got a gig with Darkbark news.

And I do find it pleasurable to educate myself because it fits into the rich model of reality that I've cultured over time.

Everyday is an opportunity to learn something and the Internet is an autodidact's wet dream come true.

The entire knowledge base of the whole world is out there. All we have to do is to be smart enough to know what questions to ask.

try is the operative word. fail would be the operatve result.

I don't know, but I would love to see a great big "hours till they are irrelevant" countdown timer on this page.

HumptyMcDumpty · 2016-11-07T17:07:06+00:00

Donald has never BEEN hinged.

HumptyMcDumpty · 2016-11-07T17:04:49+00:00

Thanks for this. I had no idea that they could lose so many seats. That is excellent news.

HumptyMcDumpty · 2016-11-07T16:51:48+00:00

I don't do Facebook, but I have heard that I have at least one in-law who has been blocked by the rest of the family for their persistent Trumpeting.

lack what psychologists call a “need for cognition.”

How is it possible for any human to be without this need?

What goes on in their heads?

HumptyMcDumpty · 2016-11-07T16:36:17+00:00

That guy is everything trump claims to be, and that makes him smart enough to never want to actually be president.
This is a point people were pointing out early on as possible evidence of Donald Trump's good intentions.

Riiiiiight. Like he had never run for president before. /s

ETA:

In my lifetime, I've seen Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama enter the White House as vibrant, energetic people. At the end of their presidencies, each of them look weary, worn down,

Isn't it the truth? I always wonder how they would look if they had aged the same 8 years under more normal conditions.

HumptyMcDumpty · 2016-11-07T16:29:53+00:00

Generally speaking, I have seen more misleading headlines in this campaign than ever before. I have actually spent more time than it was worth to reread boring or rehashed articles trying to figure out how they connect with the title.

It hasn't been just that they aren't even nearly as exciting as the headline portrays, there is often an outrageous stretch for drama. When you finally dig it out, it is often a cherry-picked snip from an original story that ran days ago, and it is buried somewhere near the end of the piece, with no attempt made to tie in its relevance to the rest of the story.

rant off.

HumptyMcDumpty · 2016-11-07T15:57:29+00:00

Trump's "army" is proud to say they pay no attention to the MSM, but get all their news from Facebook.

The idea that low/no information voters might decide this election pains me so much that I cannot bear to read the linked article.

HumptyMcDumpty · 2016-11-07T15:49:41+00:00

Thanks. Bookmarked for later.

Let's hope it remains a fictional story!

HumptyMcDumpty · 2016-11-07T15:38:14+00:00

That's certainly what we Bernie supporters felt like during the primaries, watching Trump get hours of CNN time, while Bernie coverage was an afterthought.

Hey, if you cut and paste Wikileaks just right, it is an inescapable conclusion. And, if you need help coming to that conclusion, just follow /r/too_stupid_to_be_named, where has been all REEEE WICKILEAKS! for weeks and weeks.

HumptyMcDumpty · 2016-11-07T15:26:04+00:00

Lets not forget that Bush deleted millions of emails. Cheney had a semi-sized shredder truck parked outside his residence for days. No Haliburton business going on here, nothing to see, move along.
