I like the picture of Trump positioning himself behind Hillary as she speaks...What a pompous dick..If anybody should do jail time it should be donny for tax evasion...Maybe a jail in Harlem or Tijuana...?

He didn't sexually assault women. That was just words said in private - locker room talk, bragging, lies.
On the national stage though, he said he would appoint a special prosecutor to put Clinton in jail. This morning his campaign manager is walking back that statement, calling it a "quip". Because, you know, that was just words he said in front of 100 million people - presidential debate talk, bragging, lies.
Is there really any there there? Is anything he says true?
It just doesn't matter to his supporters. His cleverly couched racist sexist bullsh#t, his two-bit dictator routine, is right on the mark for the audience he's targeting.
Christian. Yea, right. Trump's role modeling allows his supporters to tell whatever lies they want, too.
But the real Christians are better than this - Christian isn't just a "quip" to the rest of us.

We Are in This Election Because the Right Couldn't Stop Trying to Destroy Clinton (and the Media Loved It)
The Rude Pundit
http://rudepundit.blogspot.com/
In the last week or so, both USA Today and the Atlantic magazine have broken with protocol to weigh in on the presidential election, either to say, "Don't vote for Trump" or "Vote for Clinton." Across the country, newspapers that have traditionally endorsed Republicans have endorsed Hillary Clinton because they see Donald Trump as a danger to the nation. There is a real sense of panic out there in media-land as the potential of a Trump presidency sinks in, making its final transition from bad joke to existential threat.
Republican and conservative fears are especially palpable now. Conservative talk radio host Charlie Sykes faced his side of the political battlements and discovered that there was a void there: "You look around and you see how much of the conservative media infrastructure buys into the post-factual, post-truth culture." It is a void that he understands that he himself helped to create. Sykes was one of the loudest on-air voices talking about fake "voter fraud" in 2008, something that became a rallying cry for people who ignore facts. Sykes is now retiring, perhaps to go work off some of his on-air sins for, as he said, "I am feeling, to a certain extent, that we are reaping the whirlwind at that. And I have to look in the mirror and ask myself, ‘To what extent did I contribute?'"
It's very easy to see how we got to this point where Donald Trump has become the nominee of the Republican Party and where, while he's falling behind further every day, there is still a possibility he can win. And the blame falls on so many of the voices of the right who are now waving their arms frantically, trying to tell the nation to get off the tracks before the Trump train runs them over.
We don't get here without the 25 years of right-wing demonization of Hillary Clinton. We don't get here without every fruitless investigation into something Clinton-related, all political retribution for Bill Clinton daring to be elected president and his wife daring to step out of the prescribed social role of First Lady. On NPR, the genuinely evil Michael Chertoff, who had various roles in the Bush II administration, said he was supporting Clinton this year. And while that is cause for alarm itself, here is what he said about how those investigations affected the safety of the country: "In looking back on that I realized that in the '90s we spent an enormous amount of time pursuing issues involving the Clintons' associations back in Arkansas in the '80s, Whitewater and other things, and we didn't spend nearly the same amount of time on what bin Laden was up to and others were up to in the region." This is the guy who led the probe into the Whitewater land deal, one of the earliest and longest-lasting fake Clinton scandals. He says that Clinton derangement syndrome diverted attention away from real threats.
Without those unending congressional and special prosecutor investigations, as close to a witch hunt as we've gotten in the last few decades, Hillary Clinton would be a respected former cabinet member and senator, not the icon for every bad thing happening around the world because of her innate vileness. And the complicity of the media, in an incredibly general sense, is to blame.

Funny
I haven't seen a single endorsement for Gary Johnson/Bill Weld by any reputable source, not even one.
Why aren't the flocks of conservatives going to him?
Maybe because all Conservatives aren't completely politically stupid, and they know that not voting or voting third Party Will Not Keep Trump from winning..
Only voting for Hillary is vote that can directly impact Trump numbers, since Hillary needs more votes for her to win
simple math

I've seen a few. One of the major Chicago newspapers endorsed Johnson. Nada for the orange menace.

A candidate that promises to put elected officials in jail and expose the mutual admiration society is dangerous and definitely worthy of the elected elite pulling together to defeat such an insurrection.......regardless of how stoopid that candidate might be.
As much as that would be fun to watch, it'll never happen. Even if Trump is appointed head puppet by Diebold he'd fall in line just like the rest. The alternative is he becomes fertilizer within 3-6 months and that automaton Pence reads the teleprompter.

Hey, you're cool. Give yourself a break. Watching, reading, thinking, posting about it - you're OK.
I didn't watch most of it either, but I'm not convinced that makes me a genius.
Is it just the number of viewers that you don't believe? It was publicly broadcast with a huge TV audience, and it's available online to anyone connected to the Internet.
But you believe the number of people I cited as publicly viewing him saying that is wrong based on your information? OK. Maybe your information really is better, maybe you really aren't one of the politard loons then. We all like to believe that.

While we contuine to disagree over politics , maybe think about sending a little coin where it is needed.
C'mon people. A great leader and inspirational member of our tribe needs some help. He is still all there, sharp as a tack, but trapped in a body that won't work.
If you send Connie (Conner) $25 it should get you a Clean Walls dvd.
Metanoia is more than twice for numerous reasons beyond me.

Just because Hillary can find Aleppo on a map doesn't mean she can find her
ass with both hands. I talk to my Syrian friends at least a couple times a
week and they got no respect for her or Obama. To wit, they've been sold a
bill of goods about the 'rebels' they've backed who, IF they win, will
initiate a comprehensive blood bath like we've seen in Libya, if not worse.
I know the StuporTopo Robespierre Foreign Policy Komitet has far better intel
than me so let it fly! I live to be schooled.
I know you love the idea of foreign nationals being able to determine the outcome of an American election. (just like supporting illegals voting, eh?)
However, Clinton has not been SoS for about 4 years. FOUR YEARS. Whatever is happening on the ground in Syria now is certainly not due to her decision-making. Blame Kerry if you want, Obama if you want, even McCain if you want, but nothing that has happened in the last 4 years can be blamed on Clinton.
You could legitimately blame her for the decision to become involved, at all. Do you advocate that we should not have gotten involved? Tell us what your Syrian campadres think of that? Should we, then, totally stop all involvement, and let the Russians win?
I think you want to get us involved in yet another Mideast war that has no end.
