The ubiquitous "call out".
Yes, we should call out people for this and that. Call them out, shake a finger of disapproval. Maybe even post a tweet or take an instagram selfie pronouncing your displeasure!!
That's all well and good. When you run to the capital steps to turn your finger-waging into legislation, I hope someone trips you and you fall on your face and chip a tooth.

A Trump sign carved out of toxic mining mill-tailings in central Idaho.
How appropriate.

Pyro, wtf? Fish still buying you beers!
unlike the sport climber Bob Da I'm a big wall climber!
we should be calling out people everywhere when the spew this sort of thing. It is UNSUITABLE as an example of what a decent man says.
yes of course convicted sexual predators like Bill Clinton are not allowed around playgrounds.

So, a ho-hum record in the Senate
She was only one of a hundred senators.

She was only one of a hundred senators.
And in the minority party half the time, with a republican president the entire time.
Many republican senators praised her for her ability to work with them.

George Will:
What did Donald Trump have left to lose Sunday night? His dignity? Please. His campaign’s theme? His Cleveland convention was a mini-Nuremberg rally for Republicans whose three-word recipe for making America great again was the shriek “Lock her up!” This presaged his banana-republican vow to imprison his opponent.
The St. Louis festival of snarls was preceded by the release of a tape that merely provided redundant evidence of what Trump is like when he is being his boisterous self. Nevertheless, the tape sent various Republicans, who until then had discovered nothing to disqualify Trump from the presidency, into paroxysms of theatrical, tactical and synthetic dismay.
Today, however, Trump should stay atop the ticket, for four reasons. First, he will give the nation the pleasure of seeing him join the one cohort, of the many cohorts he disdains, that he most despises — “losers.” Second, by continuing to campaign in the spirit of St. Louis, he can remind the nation of the useful axiom that there is no such thing as rock bottom. Third, by persevering through Nov. 8 he can simplify the GOP’s quadrennial exercise of writing its post-campaign autopsy, which this year can be published Nov. 9 in one sentence: “Perhaps it is imprudent to nominate a venomous charlatan.” Fourth, Trump is the GOP’s chemotherapy, a nauseating but, if carried through to completion, perhaps a curative experience.
Maybe more like an enema than chemo, but, yeah.

This was another favorite in the George Wills piece...

I read it three times. Each time it got funnier, more poignant.
Unlike some, I think if Trump loses, esp if he loses BIG, his Trump brand will tank. Poetic justice.

The most fascinating part of this election is the extreme delusional nature of Trump and his supporters.
A delusion is a belief that is held with strong conviction despite superior evidence to the contrary.
A great example is Trump's tweet Despite winning the second debate in a landslide (every poll), it is hard to do well when Paul Ryan and others give zero support!
Every poll, LOL. The "polls" he cites are online garbage surveys, like the one for the readers of Breitbart News. The real polls show Hillary won.
How do people live like this? What drives them to think like this? Fear? Selfishness?

"Not sure why we're even discussing this at this point. It's not debatable that when she held elective office her constituents overwhelmingly approved of her job performance and her senate colleagues found her a congenial and serious person. Even Bill Weld noted, ""I'm not sure anyone is more qualified than Hillary Clinton to be president of the United States."
Why is it being discussed? Because Hillary's detractors got nuthin'.
Can we get back to some reality-based discussion now....like how unfit Donald Trump is for POTUS?

Most of it is Hate for Hillary
They think Hillary should be in jail because she is so awful
They are raving about Hillary calling them deplorable, like it's the worst thing anyone could possibly say, and at the same time ignore OR say he didn't say that, all the terrible stuff Trump has said
so in other words, they have been completely duped by the right wing media
the same media that put Trump where he is today
They are Authoritarian followers, and it fits that they are Also evangelical Christians. They live in a well protected Bubble.
The Christians like Pat Robertson are in full defense mode For Trump, just like Klimmer

Trump says "the shackles are off" now, and he can now campaign how he likes.
Oh boy, this could get special.

Trunp a loser? Not according to him.
Despite winning the second debate in a landslide (every poll), it is hard to do well when Paul Ryan and others give zero support! "With the exception of cheating Bernie out of the nom the Dems have always proven to be far more loyal to each other than the Republicans!,"

It's no fluke that Roger Ailes is on the Trump campaign
He helped Nixon, Reagan and 2 Bushs become elected
He is the master of dirty tricks
It's all about projecting the worst qualities of your candidate onto the opposition
We all know Trump lies, is dishonest, untransparent, a sexual predator, is a terrible business man, has hate in his heart
so they say Hillary is all those things
over and over again
use their best traits against them
If they are a war hero, call them a war loser
if they are nice, call them mean
if they are honest, call them a liar
I see this happening here quite often by our deplorable lot of right wingers

This is somewhat mind-blowing.
Conservative pundit Glenn Beck said on Saturday that standing against Donald Trump and electing Hillary Clinton would be a "moral, ethical choice."
"If the consequence of standing against Trump and for principles is indeed the election of Hillary Clinton, so be it. At least it is a moral, ethical choice," Beck wrote in a Facebook post the day after video surfaced of Trump bragging in 2005 that his celebrity allowed him to get away with groping women.
