I haven't voted yet. Spent the whole day in a dentist's chair so far. I'm working late (as fuck!) tonight so my workday starts in the afternoon. Thank god. I'll
Have plenty of time to vote before having to sit at the courthouse for 12 hours.

Dental hygienist in the room across from mine this morning: "I'm not voting because I don't believe in either one"
Her patient: "You don't like Trump?0
Hygienist: "Well I definitely think he's the better of the two"
Patient: "Then vote for him!"
Hygienist: "No no. I'm not going to be blamed if he wins."

Hygienist was a woman, working in a health care field. Super upsetting to hear that she "definitely" thought Trump was "better" but WOW, maybe more of his supporters will take this "not my fault" route and just not vote! Wouldn't that be great?

I'm losing it. This can't be over soon enough.

I don't have a "I voted" sticker, so I may or may not have already. Hard to tell.

looking good so far,

heres some music

never thought id be this desperate to see a fuckin' neo con hawk get into power but i guess we're all sufficiently horrified and traumatized by the evil of our leaders that someone slightly less murderously insane is the best we can hope for

come on, she has a mild history of hawkishness but she's not a neocon. i say mild because she didn't spearhead the iraq invasion-- she just fell in line with it, probably to show she was macho too.

and she's been consorting with kissinger lately-- kissinger is all about balance of power and therefore anathema to neocons.

say what you want about kissinger (and there's plenty) but he's not in the same naive idealist dipshit cult as rumsfeld, cheney, jeane kirpatrick, richard perle, paul wolfowitz, and all the fucking leo strauss disciples whose names i cannot recall but gog and magog, holy fuck, that was the ultimate expression of idiotic "good vs evil" neocon dumbfuckery.

she's unfortunately pretty well right in with all of the US politicians when it comes to being pro Israel. Maybe this last arms deal will FINALLY get some pols off of that fucking bandwagon. Edit to say two things. I've NEVER had a candidate with whom I've really agreed about a lot of things, and I voted for her gladly!

True, although she has publicly told Israel that if they don't cut it the fuck out with building new settlements there simply will not be the slightest possibility of peace.

bibi doesn't want peace-- he wants to conquer

the problem is that as israeli society becomes more capitalist and spoiled (moving away from its collectivist roots) they're becoming more and more entrenched on the right, as a whole, and suppressing dissent.

there's a mix of basic arrogance and fatigue with the situation that makes israelis think they can just get rid of the palestinians like you can get rid of a mouse infestation or mosquitoes in a swamp you can drain.

I think Israel knows that and doesn't give a shit. And, since we send them arms and $$ no matter how they act, I don't expect it to change.:mad:

Donald Trump has made his closing argument: If he doesn't get elected president, this will have been "the single greatest waste of time".

EDIT you gotta see the cool laser beam light show at the trump rally in manchester last night.

i voted the best choice: Gary Busey/Christopher Walken.

Working Families party has jumped the shark, they have Chuck "the globalist" Schumer under their banner this year.

Do you think these Stalinist shitheads are unclear on the concept?
In order to decry the deplorabe and irredeemable nature of Donald Trump and his supporters, two women decided to bare their breasts and chant anti-Trump slogans inside the polling station where Donald Trump will cast his ballot later today.The women were arrested after security grappled with them in front of a large group of voters and cameras."

jesus christ, they bared their breasts, one can only shudder at the thought of the amoral stalinist utopia this portends. if only we saw sense and elected the guys who keep threatening to jail or murder their opponents and bear their arms rather than their breasts, then things would be safer.

If Trump had gotten breast implants, he would have cornered the female vote
