Sounds like it could be the name of a short-lived UK comedy about chavs on housing estates.

I think he meant "bathroom offenders," the people who flushed documents down the toilet.

The problem with a new party is the way presidential elections are decided. Without some process like run-off elections or ranked-choice ballots, you might get a case where vote splitting allows someone to get power without getting anywhere near a majority.
Now, that could be a good thing or a bad thing. If the 'new party' were on the political right then they would take votes away from the republicans (leading to a better chance for the democrats to win.) On the other hand, if this 'new party' were on the left, you would have regular vote splits between the democrats and this new party, leading to regular republican wins.

Hopefully the building never really gets underway. Depends on what Vance does when you-know-who is no longer with us, I guess.

Wait a minute, some folks seem to believe Ross Perot actually helped get Clinton elected with his third-party shenanigans.
He actually sounded a little like the fat clown too, especially when he was asked what his plans were.
He answered with something like, there are smart people out there with good plans, and we'll find them.

This is the American president. Communicating via a social media site. In my mind this totally ties in with another discussion here:
Enough is enough! How do we stop this insanity?!?

According to split-ticket.org, (which also claims that Perot did not hurt Bush):
"Perot drew most of his support from the younger elements of Generation X (25–29), which can be partially explained by youth disillusionment with the status quoof the two-party system."
I can vouch for that, since that was my group in 1992 and why I voted third party as a protest to the 2-party system, not cause I thought Perot was a better candidate. It's only in recent years, when one choice (Trump) is obviously an existential crisis, that I have reluctantly voted for the mainstream party.

He's giving you all trillions and trillions of dollars.
Trump: "We want a healthcare system where we pay the money to the people instead of the insurance companies. We're gonna be working on that very hard over the next short period of time. Where the people get the money. We're talking about trillions and trillions of dollars."

Ok, but the stats say:
Clinton go 44,909,806 votes, Bush got 39,104,550, while Perot got 19,743,821.
Do you really believe those 19 million votes were democrats?

No, most were independents like me. But 51% would have picked Clinton as a second choice, according to this analysis:

Donald Trump has threatened legal action against the BBC, following criticism over how a speech the US president made was edited and used in a Panorama documentary.
His legal team has given the BBC a deadline of 14 November to make a "full and fair retraction" of the documentary - or face being sued for $1bn (£760m).

The BBC's director general and head of news both resigned on Sunday after criticism of the programme.

That could be true, but it would certainly be interesting to see how they voted today or the second time Clinton ran. I'll have to go check that out someday... when I'm not so damn lazy.
BTW, I don't read political analysis. It's too much like listening to a fortuneteller.

Actual fair or Trump fair?
"We accept that footage was edited in a way which created the impression that Mr Trump was giving instructions to his followers with the specific intention of inciting violence, whilst what actually happened was that Trump won, the Democrats rigged the election and Obama is a prick as well."
