Yes, that piece he linked to explaining what has been done to the word populism was brilliant.

I was trying to indicate a failure to meet a very low bar rather than actual agreement but your post has made me nostalgic.

Wonder if this could draw Andrew Windsor in again?
We can but hope.

I'm not inclined to buy this child rape business just yet. The same accusations were flung at Bill Clinton from a similar source connected to Epstein and they didn't amount to anything.

Will this change anything? A woman who was underage when he sexually assaulted her comes forward. Is that going to be the thing that makes some of his supporters think again? Probably, maybe a very few of them. What the fuck mental process is involved in seeing this as 'good news'.

So many particulars. So many questions.
I don't wish to don the mettalic hat here but is there any milage in the idea that the late-stage FBI email thing indicates that this agencey would work actively towards and wish for a Trump presidency? Back to the glory days of Hoover, of murdering Black Panthers in their beds and so forth?

Quite, if Christ himself rose on Nov 7th and announced his intention to vote for Clinton on Nov 8th, I'm fairly certain sections of Trump's supporters would just denounce their saviour.

Maybe not Trump himself but just the party, the people that would be appointed in positions of legislative power etc if the D wins it?

Obviously the (alleged) offence is not good news but if, through a brave public appearance, the victim gets nearer to seeing justice done, then there would be some good news. If, into the bargain, it harmed Trump, then so much the better.Will this change anything? A woman who was underage when he sexually assaulted her comes forward.

Grrrrr
Hillary is looking very strong in Florida which is an absolute must win state for Trump. 28% of registered Republicans have voted for her in the early voting. Only 6% of Democrats voted for Trump.

Hard to see any other motivation, tbh. The idea that they innocently don't know the effect of what they're doing is pretty far-fetched. Why else?

Not sure that is particularly correct. The idea that Comey didn't know the content of those emails is daft - why else inform the head of the FBI unless what was found is significant - but his motivation for this is probably self-protection; if he didn't do the minimum necessary to update the record with regards to his previous testimony to Congress then it would be his head on the block, irrespective of who wins.

It's a shame a lot more people *without* degrees didn't turn out to vote in the primaries - the 25% or so of Americans that vote in primaries tend to be older, better-educated, and richer than average, and look at the crap they chose.

If some swarthy Middle Eastern guy talking in a language nobody understood walked into a Trump rally and tried to start telling people they should be voting for Clinton instead, it would not end well.

Of course it is likely that money and tax-breaks speak louder than race/religion here?

As this whole thing goes on, it becomes harder than ever to distinguish where genuine concern with Trump's obvious cuntishness ends and blatant party/self interest from Clinton and the Dems takes over
