2016 elections

I've got a bad feeling about this. :(

Joss Whedon has mobilized a bunch of the cast of the Avengers movies, as well as other actors and people in an effort to get people to register to vote. It's kind of obviously anti-Trump, and on top of that, fairly funny. nRp1CK_X_Yw

:jaw-dropp So, normally the secret service agents pay their own way to accompany the candidates. But in this case, they are paying Trump to fly on Trump's plane. The more he travels the more he makes. Trump received $1.6 million from Secret Service I do wonder why Clinton's costs are $1...

I would bet my life that they would be up in arms about it. Yet none of them give the slightest **** that their "leader" is. Hillary was wrong. It isn't half of Donald followers that are deplorable. It is 100% of them.

Yeah, it's the only six-second clip that's been playing for the last several hours. So much for all those 9/11 tribute shows...

Sometimes its fun to speculate with hypotheticals and given the relative unpopularity of both candidates. It seems that if we had a Romney/Clinton election or Trump/Biden election it would be far different and I suspect we might have a truly runaway election. In the case of Biden vs. Trump...

The main question of this election is: how did Trump become the Republican nominee? Instead of finding reasons why he should not be, I'm wondering what makes him such a credible candidate for so many Americans? Here are some of my musings on the subject: ENVY plenty of people want what...

With Trumpards asking whether Hillary has had a stroke, it seems perfectly reasonable to ask if Trump is suffering from the first stages of dementia. Often, the first sign is memory loss. Mr Trump has claimed to have a great memory, yet in recent interviews, he shows signs of having an...

Why is the issue of his donations to prosecutors who then promptly dropped the charges of fraud against trump not an issue? That is a much tighter connection than the pay for play clinton foundation issue that gets lots of air time...

Fortune magazine writes Let's hope that Trump isn't allowed to run the US. Thread was getting long again, split from here.

Looks like some negotiation will need to be entered into after all. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/aug/31/donald-trump-mexico-meeting-president-pena-nieto-immigration

...and Worked Illegally Not to mention Donald profited by cramming a bunch of them in an apartment and taking a ridiculous cut of their modeling fees for rent. http://m.motherjones.com/politics/2016/08/donald-trump-model-management-illegal-immigration

It strikes me that Hilary and Donald are both equally terrible candidates. What other options are open to American voters ?

Former member here, Robert Morrow, who was elected the Republican Party Chair of Travis County, Texas, was "removed" from the grounds at a Trump rally. Morrow, whose views on, um, unique in some ways, wore a jester cap and had a large "TRUMP IS A CHILD RAPIST" sign...

There have been a number of conspiracies out there that Donald Trump is running a fake campaign to: Help Hillary win by running a purposefully self destructive campaign. Possibly to help her win against such a weak opponent when she would have had a much harder time against a serious candidate...

Kind of a personal question. Just wondering which of his policy you agree with and if comfortable why?

Can't seem to see if this has been examined previously, but here's the link to Trump's supposed medical report showing he is in the pink of fabulous health. The best! Believe him! Even a quick read through this, to my IANAD eyes, says a lot is wrong with it. It has been examined more...

Given both candidates of the major parties can be considered flawed, what is the chance that whomever is elected will be a 1 term president?

CNN has a very interesting article about the latest Clinton Foundation pay for play scandal: http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/11/politics/hillary-clinton-state-department-clinton-foundation/ The DoJ vetoed the request for a public corruption investigation on political grounds.

Should FSM it happens. I do not think that even a single major world leader would respect her. Putin would eat her alive and it would completely trash the reputation of the US and because Hillary would probably be his lapdog. But no way would Putin respect that buffoon because he has probably...

Yeah, I know, kind of a silly question. But still, what if? My guess is he and Weld would immediately rejoin the Republican Party and govern accordingly.

I am going to try working through the Green Party convention materials, and the first thing that catches full information voters' minds is the Julian Assange speech. A couple of points: the Green Party introduced him as a hero, for the obvious reason of publishing truthful information from our...

I love the one that keeps running here! It's Letterman nailing Trump, on where his clothing lines are made!:thumbsup::D Anyone else getting better ones?

BREAKING: Republican Party Floored As Romney Backers Fund New Independent Presidential Candidate Is this even feasible this late in the game? What is the barrier for getting on the ballot in enough states to even make a go at this?

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/08/leader-of-american-nazi-party-trump-win-will-be-a-real-opportunity-for-us/ Donald Trump, number one with racists. Wonder why that might be.

Here's a poll, in the interest of fairness and balance.

I thought there should be a place we could provide comedy links about the candidates and the campaign. This is a YouTube link to Dennis Leary and James Corden playing Bill and Hillary singing a duet called "He's an ass" https://youtu.be/QYoJE7jNgYU

http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/trump-allies-plot-candidate-intervention-after-disastrous-48-hours-n622216 Trumps already incindiary and bizzare rhetoric has become so psychotic over the last 48 hours that an "intervention" is being planned to prevent a complete meltdown of their...

I think it highly unlikely, but it's the hot topic for speculation today. So who would benefit? Who would the R's nominate? Would it help Hillary, or would the R's do better than with Trump? Seems to me the fanatic Trump supporters would never accept it or vote for any other R. They'll just...
