The Ku Klux Klan says it will hold a Trump victory parade in North Carolina

[Aerin]

What's that? Fox News leaked some debate info to Trump before the first Republican debate? Say it ain't so. That would be crooked. And that would be wrong.

Ms. Kelly writes that her problems started in August, the Monday before the first Republican presidential primary debate. She had just done a segment on her show, “The Kelly File,” that infuriated Mr. Trump. He refused to make his own scheduled appearance on her show unless she phoned him personally.

“I almost unleashed my beautiful Twitter account against you,” she says he told her, “and I still may.”

Then, the day before the first presidential debate, Mr. Trump was in a lather again, Ms. Kelly writes. He called Fox executives, saying he’d heard that her first question “was a very pointed question directed at him.” This disconcerted her, because it was true: It was about his history of using disparaging language about women.

Granted, not on the level of what Donna Brazile did, still interesting.

Early on even Bernie said they gave them a peak at the questions before hand.

Not only this, but Trump also offered bribes to the media for favorable coverage and Megyn Kelly suspects that someone related to the Trump campaign tried to poison her the day of the debate.

[Aerin]

Don't think any of them were supposed to have even a hint of the questions for this debate.

Is there a quote from Megyn Kelly?

Found it!

Her story becomes more byzantine. On the day of the debate, Ms. Kelly writes, she woke up feeling great. Then an overzealous, suspiciously enthusiastic driver picked her up to take her to the convention center. He insisted on getting her coffee, though she’d repeatedly declined his offer. Once it was in her hand, she drank it. And within 15 minutes, she was violently ill, vomiting so uncontrollably that it was unclear if she’d be able to go on and help moderate that evening. It was so bad that she kept a trash pail beneath her desk throughout the debate, just in case.
Ms. Kelly never says outright that someone tried to poison her. (A stomach bug was going around, she notes.) But the episode spooked her enough that she shared it later with Roger Ailes and a lawyer friend of his. Foul play? Again: She reports. You decide.

Don't think any of them were supposed to have even a hint of the questions for this debate.

They were not.

First, stop to consider that we have people who didn't want to admit to supporting Trump because they don't want to be considered racist and all that. Second, let's entertain the reality that such individuals tend to be cowards, acting either when their behavior can not be verified or within the safety net of other like-minded individuals (think KKK as the extreme example of such).

Now, this isn't like school where a bunch of kids will suddenly gather round chanting, "Fight, fight, fight!" and making a spectacle of the scenario. Further, one could argue that seeing a parked police car (especially with lights on) is going to get people on edge, and in the unfortunate case of minorities, HOPING to catch misconduct. To everyone else trying to live their life normally, hoping to catch shit on video isn't even on the radar when you're going to pay for gas, shopping at Wal-mart, etc..

So before Nov 8, you'd have people getting into fistfights for "looking at me wrong", people were literally attacking pro-Trump people without provocation (oh my bad, supporting Trump is provocation)...and now we have people "all over america" saying shit like "get out of my america you spic", and not one of these has devolved into any kind of fisticuffs from either the person taking the verbal abuse or a bystander overhearing it and doing whats right?

The odds are rather staggering.

Something seems different and I can't put my finger on it.

Yup it was stupid of me to use CNN's estimates considering their track record

Lets welcome back Pre ACA Health Insurance!


http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer...ion-is-on.html

During the campaign, coverage of the issues was blotted out by coverage of Hillary Clinton’s emails and Donald Trump’s broad suite of sociopathic tendencies. And of the issues that did receive any attention, a conspicuously missing one was Paul Ryan’s plan to push Medicare beneficiaries into private health insurance. Reporters just assumed that, since Trump never talked about it, it won’t happen. But Paul Ryan still wants it to happen. And in a Fox News interview with Bret Baier, Ryan said Medicare privatization is on.

“Your solution has always been to put things together, including entitlement reform,” asks Baier, using Republican code for privatizing Medicare. Ryan replies, “If you’re going to repeal and replace Obamacare, you have to address those issues as well. … Medicare has got some serious issues because of Obamacare. So those things are part of our plan to replace Obamacare.”

Ryan tells Baier, “Because of Obamacare, Medicare is going broke.” This is false. In fact, it’s the complete opposite of the truth. The Medicare trust fund has been extended 11 years as a result of the passage of Obamacare, whose cost reforms have helped bring health care inflation to historic lows. It is also untrue that repealing Obamacare requires changing traditional Medicare. But Ryan clearly believes he needs to make this claim in order to sell his plan, or probably even to convince fellow Republicans to support it.

I think its because CNN called New Hampshire for clinton. (The detail I was pointed out was Trump wasn't project to win the popular vote.)

Edit: By the way if you're protest and you aren't doing this you're fucking up.

I'm telling you not everyone's a hero or even thinking they're going outside to witness heroism/villainy. Shit happens. Sometimes it's witnessed. Sometimes it isn't. Very little is actually recorded. Even if it is, there's no guarantee it jumps to social media and further goes viral.

Doubting stories is fine, but don't pretend nothing happens because it's not meeting your personal criteria of evidence.

Booker / Castro LET'S GO


Also, President Trump is totally black people's fault.

Nah:

Sanders / Booker

Booker / Gabbard x2

Sanders will only do one term, Booker can absolutely take over with his speaking ability and merits, and Gabbard is still quite young (she's 35 now) so she's got time.

Couple people right now vying for DNC chair

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...-class-voters/

Rep. Keith Ellison.
Ex. Gov. Dean Howard

Two others have also voiced names but I can't find the names (And I don't think they'll matter). I think it'll be a case of memberberries vs. progressives now.
