Donald Trump, the road that might not lead to the White House!

[bimble]

The quote you posted (like those in my post above) are part of a long line of attacks on democracy. Because I'm an anarchist I'm a democrat and I find such attacks both vile and dangerous.

NB: Worth noting in reference to the excellent piece that BA posted some pages back that two of these quotes mention "the people"

Yes, that piece he linked to explaining what has been done to the word populism was brilliant.
Marco D'Eramo: Populism and the New Oligarchy. New Left Review 82, July-August 2013.

yes his witch gifs and spittle flecked rants were a gift to us all.

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

"Jane Doe" to go public.



I'm presuming this the Epstein link?

You can watch him live.
I just heard "Hilary wants more violent criminal aliens she wants to get them all in"

I just heard "Hilary wants more violent criminal aliens she wants to get them all in"

chants of "lock her up, lock her up"
and "drain that swamp,drain that swamp".

The music at the end. Is that death metal for old people?

According to something I just read online, yes it is.

Wonder if this could draw Andrew Windsor in again?

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'.

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?

It's truly bizarre, the whole shit show.

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.

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.

Exclusive: Stunning Clinton number in FL

Press conference is off, she has been getting threats and has backed off showing her face.

Who can blame her

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.

Maybe the educated should have more votes than those intolerant people who didn't go to university.

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.

 

[8ball]

I'm beginning to get a feeling that we might still be in the position of re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-counting votes in January...

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.

You mean pals of his like..?

Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem of Dubai:

Or Hussein Sajwani of DAMAC?

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

Don't be stupid Yossarian we all know that Jesus, like Santa, was both real and white.

Trump gets an unwanted endorsement.

...Trump has received scan few newspaper endorsements, but just a week before the election he picked up a front-page nod from The Crusader, a prominent Ku Klux Klan-affiliated publication that bills itself as 'The Premier Voice of the White Resistance.'

"While Trump wants to make America great again, we have to ask ourselves, 'What made America great in the first place?'"..."The short answer to that is simple. America was great not because of what our forefathers did — but because of who our forefathers were. America was founded as a White Christian Republic. And as a White Christian Republic it became great."

No it isn't, its the end of the world as we know it

Even Barack says so, so it must be true
US election 2016: Obama warns fate of world at stake

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
