Trump runs for POTUS/ Trumped Up! Part VI

[acbytesla]

The GOP scumbags deserve to suffer for being such total pieces of ****. Make them wish they had just confirmed Garland.

Here's my bet Tony. While Hillary would love to nominate someone more liberal than Garland, she'll send a quiet message to the Senate Judiciary committee that she wants them to confirm Garland now so she can focus on other issues. She doesn't think the wait set a good precedent and as a sign of good will to Obama, would they please proceed.

Trumpy launched a full scale attack on the GOP "Establishment" on a tour of Wisconsin today.He is upset that they are not buying into his "election is rigged" nonsense. He is burning his bridges very,very, fast.

His cutting ties with the Official GOP organization in Ohio was particularly stupid.

Why was that particularly stupid?

I'm not sure if this has been posted yet, but Loyola University looked into voter fraud over the past 16 years and found only 31 instances out of a billion votes cast. That's 0.000003%.

Dear, kind sir.

You do realize that her nomination has to pass a Senate vote, yes?

You do realize that it's unlikely the Dems can override a filibuster, yes?

I know your quite passionate on these things, but the next president has to work with the Republicans to some extent. This is how the system is set up.

Sorry we can't just line 'em up against the wall, but it turns out there are rules.

There's always a catch.

Yeah, Catch 22.... Not referring to the meaning of the term, but of the great scene in the film where Orson Welles is told that he can't just have his men shot and the look of near bewilderment on his face when he says, "I can't?"

But the USC poll, which turned out to be the most accurate of the bunch last time around, has it essentially tied/slight Trump lead. Outlier , yes. Still causes me a bit of anxiety.

Anyone got a source for this claim? I've seen it repeated, but the Dornslife Poll back in 2012 was the Rand poll. They place highest among 100% internet polls with more than 12 samplings. They do not place best of all polls or even of all internet polls if you don't include the > 12. (Because Google was more accurate but only had 12 polls that year.)

Trump picked up another endorsement--the St. Joseph News Press.

Rachel Maddow did a nice segment tonight on the death threats received by the Arizona Republic newspaper. Forty years ago an investigative reporter was assassinated by car bomb, so they take these threats seriously.

From social media all out sleazy attacks which have become common place, to actually carrying the stuff out.

And yet the GOP sends out its army of pundits to just straight out lie over and over again about the thousands of cases of voter fraud.

 

[Polaris]

It is what it always was; an anti-US propaganda organization using hacked material as ammunition against it's perceived enemies. "Transparency" never had anything to do with it.

I've seen it speculated that part of the reason Assange has put WikiLeaks into the bag for the Orange Menace is the hope that he will give Assange asylum from Sweden if he wins. Which is insane if you're aware of the silly conspiracy Assange has been peddling as to why he's hiding from Swedish authorities.

Assange, who said on camera that the purpose of his mission was "crushing bastards", is trying to buddy up with Donald Trump. His credibility has taken a full broadside and is now resting on the bottom.

I don't understand. How can a witness not seeing it prove it didn't happen? At best, all he can say is, "I didn't see anything."

Was he holding Trump's hands during the flight?

Vincent Gambini would tear this guy to shreds

"Are you sure about those five digits?!"

But thousands of cases is not enough to to sway a presidential election. Aren't we talking about tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands? Are the interviewers asking about the scale of Trump's allegations when they talk to the pundits who claim voter fraud at the polls?

The number fraudulent votes will be more than the amount that Donald loses by (so millions).

I was just repeating what I read on their site regarding background on their methodology. I apologize if it wasn't accurate.

Not to mention, order his legions of armed brownshirts to make sure "other communities" don't steal the election, by manning polling stations across the country.

So the media is rigged, the polls are rigged and the election is rigged.

How have democrats ever lost any election?

They sometimes lose elections on purpose to fool people into thinking they aren't rigged.

I was listening to the Bradcast today and he had a Republican on there that insisted the voter fraud claims were just the fringe people of the party. Brad challenged the guy on it, but the guy refused to acknowledge that is was the party leadership propagating the voter fraud lies.

Trump is the fruition of the GOP's lies and hyperbole for the past couple of decades.

How could it possibly be fringe when Donald Trump himself is constantly saying it?

I *********** hate Republicans.

The accusation is the Trump and his supporters are the extreme fringe of the GOP.

The Fox/Tea Party complex is really starting to gel.

But he's their freaking nominee for President.

These people are unbelievably dishonest.

Oh, no, they're not rigged for Democrats. They're rigged against Trump. They've been developing this nefarious conspiracy for years, preparing for the ultimate threat to their chummy little club. Thirty years ago, the powers-that-be saw the wonder that was young (well, 40-year-old) Donald Trump, and they knew that only he could bring down their conspirocracy. So they've been drawing their plans and recruiting their minions against this ultimate struggle to maintain their power and America's medicocrity. And now, finally-
