46508. judithathome - 9/20/2016 6:28:59 PM Not that polls mean anything but Hillary jumped 5 points ahead since two weeks ago.
Even sick in bed and off the campaign trail for 4 days, she beats Trump in a new poll by 5 points and he has been on TV bloviating sometimes three times a day and tweeting incessantly the entire time.
46509. judithathome - 9/20/2016 8:22:56 PM Okay, in the old adage "The acorn doesn't fall far from the poisoned and bigoted oak"...this Trump Jr. Skittles trope is just digusting.
Trump Jr. Compares Skittles to Syrian Refugees 46510. judithathome - 9/20/2016 8:54:02 PM Here is really excellent rebuttal (from a poster on my forum in Talkalot) to Little Trump's ridiculous Skittles comments:
IN REALITY, statistically there are very few terrorist attacks compared to the millions of Syrians so a more True example would be 3 poison treats in a Swimming Pool of Skittles to represent the millions in Syria. And you can't just walk away, because then one Skittle says "America doesn't care" forms the Islamic State, and invades the Swimming Pool of Iraq Skittles next door! Then you have to immediately put barriers in the Iraq swimming pool so it doesn't spread, fish out the 125,000 Christian Skittles, and then slowly move in the barriers in that Iraqi Pool of Skittles before you can even get to the Syrian Pool of Skittles, which is really controlled by former Optometrist and current Dictator of the Swimming Pool of Syrian Skittles Bashir al Assad, who is working with Vladimir Putin, ruler of the Olympic Swimming pool of Russian Skittles to whom Trump probably owes money to. Oh, and while you were doing that, the terrorists really came from the swimming pools full of skittles for Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, and Saudi Arabia.
So what was this about skittles, Donald Jr? 46511. arkymalarky - 9/20/2016 9:30:15 PM He's getting most everything he posts from alt right and white nationalist sutes. TPM has an interesting article on that today. The Skittles thing came from them. 46512. iiibbb - 9/21/2016 1:19:23 AM J@H
I rad today that skittles was co-opted by the alt-right after the Trayvon Martin shooting. It's apparently a slur against people of color and meant to throw salt in wounds. 46513. iiibbb - 9/21/2016 4:42:36 PM On another place I got in this strange back and fourth with about skittles with an obtuse clinton=trump voter and my finale was this haiku.
Let Trump eat Snickers
Nuclear fire will rain
Vote for her you twats 46514. iiibbb - 9/21/2016 4:42:48 PM I'm rather proud of it. 46515. judithathome - 9/21/2016 7:42:41 PM Very, very good!! but middle line is one syllable short for traditional haiku. However, flexibility in all things rules! 46516. iiibbb - 9/22/2016 5:47:57 PM Nu-cle-ar..... I was being particularly ironic. 46517. judithathome - 9/22/2016 7:56:16 PM I get that...but it is still a line with SIX syllables instead of seven. The scansion of haiku is three lines, 5-7-5. That's all I'm saying.
I think it was very clever...and was just making an observation. 46518. iiibbb - 9/22/2016 8:15:15 PM Nu-cle-ar fi-re will rain 46519. iiibbb - 9/22/2016 8:16:07 PM I miss you guys, but I'm having some fun elsewhere. 46520. iiibbb - 9/22/2016 8:16:54 PM Some claim I'm being a little disrespectful of protest voters...
... well yes.... I am.
I may hold them in lower regard than I do actual Trump voters. 46521. arkymalarky - 9/23/2016 1:57:23 AM Very nice local Democratic Gathering, and the former Governor Bebe spoke, and the candidate for Senate, and local rep candidate, and there were lots of people there. Saw quite a few people I know, and everybody was very positive and it was just a really good vibe. I've never been to one, but my friend who was there said it was a really good crowd for that kind of democratic rally there. 46522. arkymalarky - 9/23/2016 2:00:12 AM One thing I can say for here is I don't see any Trump signs. A nut that I drive by on my way to work as a hand-done sign in his yard that says boo killary klinton had a trump sign, but it's gone now. 46523. judithathome - 9/23/2016 6:42:44 PM "boo killary klinton"
Sounds like a gun fondler for whom Trumps second amendment remarks rang true...
Hillary has a new ad out showing young girls looking into their mirrors while Trumps disparaging remarks about women play in the background...at the end, this fills the screen: "Is this who we want for our daughters?"
Very powerful ad! 46524. arkymalarky - 9/23/2016 11:36:06 PM I hate stuff like this:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/09/23/trump-is-headed-for-a-win-says-professor-whos-predicted-30-years-of-presidential-outcomes-correctly/ 46525. arkymalarky - 9/24/2016 7:01:34 PM Best president in my lifetime. When he leaves office they need to make an album of his speeches. I just hope we don't go from the sublime to the ridiculous. 46526. judithathome - 9/24/2016 10:47:33 PM Seeing President Obama at the opening of that museum today almost made me weep...I love the way the other day, he "suggested" that Donald"blacks are worse off today than at any time in history" Trump had missed many civics lessons and that there was "a museum just down the street" that could refute those comments.
In other words, Donald, you are dumber than shit. 46527. arkymalarky - 9/25/2016 6:49:25 PM I meant to say this while back and I've been busy, but I really think 3i3b that the Clinton equals Trump posters are actually Trump trolls. Everybody was talking about being Rick rolled, and I think this election season they need to talk about being trump trolled. I think we were trump trolled in the international thread a few days ago.
Everything is going to come out this time to turn out, and the combination of Clinton and Obama and sanders and warren will hopefully land a good result November 8th. I gave money to the Obama campaign in 08, but I've never officially volunteered to work on GOTV and registration until this election. If people show up Hillary will win, nothing changing otherwise. Looking at past elections and polls leading up to election day, and debates, nothing about this one stands out in a way that does not lean toward Hillary. 50% of Americans think Trump is racist. I don't think 50% of Americans are racist, or certainly Obama's approval wouldn't be well over 50% right now, and I don't think a lot of people who are on the fence will pull the lever for him when it comes down to it.
Course I don't know any more than anyone else does, but I don't see anything in the trends that stands out in any way from past elections. 538 has it uncomfortably close, but they never had Trump ahead, and I frankly don't really get where they're coming from. They have a way lower Hillary percent then New York times or Huffpost or Real Clear Politics averages, for that matter. I will not be watching the debate tomorrow night, though. I cannot cannot cannot. I'd rather watch a Friday the 13th Marathon.
