I have a couple of friends who did nothing but beg for $15 from people on Facebook for this asshat for the entire month of August. He's the used car salesman of politics and he's a fraud. It's astonishing how many 18-35 year-olds will vote politically support anything that aligns itself with legal weed.

You guys I think SuchFriendsAreDangerous really did leave the board.

Are you sure? I can't possibly believe my hymen comment was the one which, after all these years, he found intolerably scathing. But maybe. He hasn't posted in other threads, I don't think.

Anyway, I'm purposefully avoiding politics today and tomorrow. And although I'm door knocking this weekend, I'm bracing myself for a Trump presidency. I've decided it'll suck, but that maybe music will get good and angry. Also congress will take a beating in the midterms and in four years a dem victory is almost assured. So the shit is shiny at least.

That is IF, and I'm saying this again, people actually vote, haven't consistently and massively lied to pollsters, etc.

and, for our Democratic Party volunteers, tonights menu is

macaroni and cheese, featuring organic elbows and about 2# of double glouchester cheese, whole fat milk and whipping cream, topped with garlic crumbs and homegrown parsely

seeded buns from the local bakery with butter

veggie tray, 3 kinds of olives, celery and carrot sticks, cherry tomatoes, kohlrabi and pickled beets

homemade organic grown pumpkin bar cookies

Hey, all of you, Nate Fucking Silver has Hillary winning easily, even if she loses FL, OH, IO, NV AND AZ, so don't be worried, this shit is going to work out well!

including the FBI and the CIA, have “initiated a counter-coup through
Julian Assange and Wikileaks in order to stop Hillary Clinton becoming
president of the United States. Pieczenik claimed that Assange had released “emails that we gave to him in order to undermine Hillary and Bill Clinton.”" This indication of involvement of rogue elements of the intelligence establishment in support of Trump's insurgent presidential campaign could be the beginning of major civil disorders, not excluding civil war.


From Business Insider:

'The Antichrist personified': 'Open warfare' and antipathy toward Clinton is reportedly fueling the FBI leaks
'The FBI is Trumpland'

you sir are a true benefactor of humanity

...

and i'm gonna keep having moments of dread until after the election is sealed, and sure i'll keep having them when the house of gerrrymanders starts to torment our first woman president (knock on wood), but i use that dread as a stimulus to do something, like getting the true blues to the polls

Well he hasn't poked into the hip-hop thread either. Or responded to PMs.

I think it's always important to maintain a level of respect in social and political discourse, partly because people with strong beliefs who feel laughed at or rejected by their peers can be dangerous, but also because I think being a dick is extremely unattractive, and not a look I want to wear. But I honestly don't feel that there was any actual bad blood during the SFAD chat. I've had harsher (if much, much less clever) insults hucked at me by pepper_green in this thread.

To my surprise, even the Dems in the room seemed to swallow this up.

Ok, yeah, maybe.. But the key words are "relevant" and "evidence." What he did was stir the pot for no worthwhile reason whatsoever, and he abused his position to nudge public opinion. He should be fired. Looking at this whole it's stil fresh, it's such a transparently political move that that piece of it hardly warrants discussion. But the damage has been done, and it will be looked at later, if at all, when the entire thing is several months or years removed from wherever we are at the time.

Goddamn infuriating. Trumpland is right.

I said trump never had a chance when this all started. I believe he will win the popular vote next week.

Two Hillary signs with a red X across the name. These have popped up across the street because a row of simple Trump signs doesn't get the message across, I guess. Where did they get the signs, by the way? I know for a fact the office has been out for a while.

Pointless prediction: she wins electoral, loses popular and her "legitimacy" will be questioned her entire term.
