    I doubt she's going to be letting any politicians use her again.

    I thought Trump was trying to act more Presidential, but inviting Gennifer Flowers to the debate is as unpresidential and unprofessional as you can get. Further proof that he's unfit to be President, but the way his campaign has gone I don't doubt it will get him more votes.

    Oh!

    News Flash!

    This is going to happen any way.


    “Gennifer Flowers will not be attending the debate tomorrow night,” Mr. Pence said. “Donald was using the tweet yesterday really to mock an effort by Hillary Clinton and her campaign to really distract attention from where the people — the American people — are going to be focused tomorrow night, which is on the issues. It’s on the choice that we face.” http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/25/us/politics/gennifer-flowers-debate-trump-clinton.html
     
  6. Wait...didn't Hillary Clinton vote for the Patriot Act in the first place? Oh that's right, she did. Remind me again why Trump is so terrifying and maybe my memory will slip and I'll forget these unpleasant facts.

    Clinton or Trump, it's a lose/lose situation. The only difference is that with Clinton we won't know we're being subjugated until it's too late to do anything about it. Slowly our fundamental rights will be stripped away, and we'll figure that, so long as we live to tell the tale, it's all right. Because people don't give a shit about anything but their own security.

    With Trump maybe we'll get a more immediate brand of fascism. (Or maybe our elected officials actually won't take Trump on as a role model. Not counting on it.) And maybe people won't be so god damned selfish that we'll actually stand up for each other in the face of this oppression. Again, not counting on it, but I do think we stand a better chance against Trump than we do against Clinton and the machine.

    So if Trump is elected and inevitably impeached, i hope someone tells Donald Trump, "You're fired!"

    It will all be worth it then.

    ww3, would actually be the least of it. the price of greatness is tyranny. and the way he really intends to build his wall is with the forced labor of everyone he hates, which is pretty much everyone who doesn't kiss his ass.
    he's already named islamists and indiginous people from south of the u.s. border, and hinted at all dark skinned people and all non-protestant and non-"christians".

    the man he calls a god, died to end what he wants to create.
    anyone who later claims they didn't see it coming, just plain weren't looking.

    but you know, the scariest thing about him, isn't just himself, but the people who know and understand all of this, and still want it and him.
    the one's who want his license to hate and kill, everyone who doesn't worship him as a god.
    who think their ignorant egotistical hatred, of otherness and difference, somehow makes them superior little bullying demigods themselves.

    They are going into the debate, tied in alot of the polls.


    National polls and swing state surveys could hardly be tighter heading into the first presidential debate.
    Quinnipiac University declared the race “too close to call” on Monday, as its latest national poll of likely voters found Mrs. Clinton edging Mr. Trump by a margin of 47 percent to 46 percent in a head-to-head matchup.
    A separate poll of likely voters from Monmouth University showed Mrs. Clinton holding a lead of four-percentage points in a four-way contest, leading by a margin of 46 percent to 44 percent. A month ago, Mrs. Clinton led by 7 points.
    Polls conducted CNN/ORC in Colorado and Pennsylvania that included Gary Johnson and Jill Stein, the Libertarian and Green Party candidates, also offered little clarity. Mr. Trump holds a one percentage point advantage in Colorado, while Mrs. Clinton leads by the same margin in Pennsylvania. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/26/us/politics/presidential-debate.html

    Can we please talk about how the fuck a party which is, in theory, all for limited government has nominated a candidate who is unapologetically for stop and frisk?

    Someone please take the Republican party out back and put it out of its misery kthx.

    Nationalism can degenerate into Integral Nationalism, National Purity, Racial Naturalism, White Nationalism,...and ultimately Fascism.

    Donald displays the flag to show how "patriotic" he is.


    Hippies of my era, not many I see around here, shunned nationalism.

    I have heard Trump being called a Fascist now, so then that is fitting for him.
    Blullies will vote for their favorite bully, I guess.

    An image was posted showing Trump with a flag pin and Clinton without one and a question mark drawn on her.
    Now, what is that supposed to convey?

    Perhaps that Trump is more patriotic? A better American? He likes jewelry or pins more than Clinton?
    Pointing out that Trump has a flag pin and Clinton doesn't is a subtle dig at Clinton.
    My God, she doesn't wear a flag pin! Must be a Communist!

    It has always seemed odd to me that many of the people who make a big deal out of displaying the American flag are the very ones who are quickest to point out how corrupt the government is, how despicable many of their fellow citizens are, how the government is too big, too intrusive, and has too many laws and regulations.
    They are also usually the ones who stockpile weapons and ammo so that they can overthrow that very government.

    There are other characteristics that define facism but the use of empty national symbolism is one of them.

    Flag wearing in and of itself isnt facist but i felt it neccessary to point out it is a characteristic when one person is presented as good because they're wearing a flag pin and one as bad because they are not.
