🐇 Something Clever

this man is a gotdamned patriot

One sentence: “Between the Democratic Convention & election night, Clinton's emails were mentioned in more NYT stories than the presidential debates, Trump's tax returns, the Trump University fraud litigation, the Access Hollywood tape, Trump's proposed Muslim ban, & the VP debate combined.” 😐

I’m gonna be mad about that front page until I die

Heckler Shouting “Release the Epstein Files” Removed From Trump’s Mississippi Rally as Trump Blames George Soros

it's really, really fucking infuriating to be ruled by public officials so unbelievably, unfathomably, stupidly fucking racist such that you can't really finish your thoughts on the matter out loud because they are in fact public officials

with all of my heart i hate this rat motherfucker

born with the world at his fingertips and made nothing of himself but a disgusting roadkill-eating moron. scum of the fucking earth.

Julie K. Brown at the Miami Herald is still doing the heavy lifting on keeping the story alive. www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

anyone ever notice how republicans don't run on half the evil shit that they do? ever notice how that works?

eh go fuck yourself. "be neutral on [insert interest] when you run and then stick it to the industry when you win" is a time honored way of actually getting things done.

i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

don't vote for me or my son ever again

This is so backwards. Talk radio uses gutter racism, misogyny, et al to scare idiots into voting Republican *despite* the party’s actual policies, which even voters don’t believe are real when they’re described.

EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet…

All of this bodes well for Talarico (Dems are more engaged than GOPs, so far), but another stat that should encourage the Dem Senate nominee: Black primary voters are turning out at a high rate, even exceeding that of Hispanic primary voters.

lula

turns out that voting is a very good way to kick right wing authoritarians out of power

Jair Bolsonaro still unsure whether to go for a celebratory trip to the hospital or a consolatory trip to the hospital

El-Sayed: This is like the 3rd campaign stop where Donald Trump can't help but mention somebody's ass. When I get to DC, I'm just gonna make sure that I never let him see mine…

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

This is the highest compliment Bill Maher has ever received & he will treasure it in his heart to his grave

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has won reelection, defeating Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, an ally of President Donald Trump, in a razor-thin race that capped a deeply polarized presidential race. https://cnn.it/4e0XHZv

liberty mutual was the only advertiser who stuck with tucker carlson after he said mexicans were "filth" so whatever fantasies you have about torturing the mascot are morally correct

I'm not some campist who's going to say we should all accept what's coming to us but we are at war with them and the way we still treat it as surprising that means they're at war with us is a little silly

I mean that seems like a likely thing for a country at war with the US to be doing

"There are reports that federal agents have started going door to door to search for supposed noncitizen voters, an action that could intimidate residents who are eligible to [vote] ... The DOJ has also threatened state election officials, warning them of potential criminal prosecutions[.]"

i also think that “boredom” now, with the internet in our pockets, is a much more tolerable thing than it was a few decades ago

The absence of persistent Spanish-language machines to rival the CBC might be the strongest indictment I can make of the "Democratic consultant class"
