Seven amazing examples why being #WithHer is more than just being anti-Trump
Election Day is closer than you think—early voting has already started in some states, including crucial swing states like Iowa and Wisconsin.
Getting Out The Vote for Hillary and Democrats up and down the ballot is the most important thing you can do now. But the cornucopia of lies and conspiracy theories coming out from Trump’s team—and with the news media slow to fact check Trump and his surrogates—it can be hard for some folks to feel excited about this election.
So, here are seven stories about Hillary Clinton that cut through the lies and spin:
1. This photo of Hillary may surprise you, but it really shouldn't
2. Hillary's incredible response to a gay teen's photo on Facebook
3. You won't see Hillary Clinton in the same light ever again
4. The most thorough, profound and moving defense of Hillary Clinton I have ever seen
5. Just what has Hillary done?
6. I am incredibly enthusiastic about voting for Hillary Clinton. Here's why.
7. Hillary Clinton in the Civil Rights Era
These are stories that show who Hillary is and what kind of president she’ll be. Please, share them with friends and relatives who aren’t sure for whom to vote or are considering not voting at all.
UPDATE: This new video from the Clinton camp is another great thing to share with your friends and family who are undecided or thinking of sitting this election out:

Bannon and Conway are in the CNP ! Theocratic Right Now Runs Trump Campaign -
“the council has deservedly attained the reputation for conceiving and promoting the ideas of many who in fact do want to control everything in the world” — ABC news, 2002
Back in 2011, a gang of mainstream media pundits (such as Ross Douthat, Michael Gerson, Mark Pinsky, Lisa Miller, and others) launched an all-out effort to poo-pooh (see 1, 2, 3, 4) reporting, especially from the website I co-founded in 2005 with Frederick Clarkson, concerning ties between various GOP presidential hopefuls (such as Rick Perry) in the 2012 election and the movement referred to as “dominionism”.
Another term for “dominionism” is “Christian supremacy” ; it’s a tendency on the spectrum that runs towards theocracy.
Now, the dominionists are running Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
As it happens, Donald Trump has just appointed Stephen K. Bannon and Kellyanne Conway to head his faltering presidential campaign.
Both are listed 2014 members of the most powerful and influential dominionist organization in America, the Council For National Policy.
We know this because, conveniently (for secular America at least ), last May 2016 the Southern Poverty Law Center made public an official 2014 membership directory of the secretive, far right, dominionist Council For National Policy.
It was a startling intelligence coup — for years, fragmentary lists of the CNP had sporadically emerged. Now, here it was — the official CNP handbook.
While Bannon was just a CNP member, Conway was listed as being a member of the CNP Executive Committee.
Joining her in that august group were Kenneth Blackwell, Tony Perkins of the (virulently antigay) Family Research Council and reigning matriarch of the religious right Phyllis Schafly — who helped kick start the movement in the early 1970s with her scorched-earth campaign to stop the Equal Rights Amendment.
As the SPLC describes of the CNP membership list featured in the booklet,
“The list is surprising, not so much for the conservatives who dominate it — activists of the religious right and the so-called “culture wars,” along with a smattering of wealthy financiers, Congressional operatives, right-wing consultants and Tea Party enthusiasts — but for the many real extremists who are included.”

Kellyanne doesn't understand trade embargo law; unknowingly confessed that Trump broke it.
Kurt Eichenwald ?@kurteichenwald TWEETS:Folks falling 4 @CLewandowski_ lie that #TrumpInCuba story is all anonymous sources: It's 90% internal Trump company docs, which I quote.
Also in #TrumpInCuba: Trumps strategy plan & bills 4 effort 2 buy off Jeb Bush, which Trump told GOP never happened.
I cant understand how @CNN can think allowing @CLewandowski_ to lie 2 its viewers unchallenged, this time about #TrumpInCuba, is journalism.
If @CNN keeps allowing @CLewandowski_ to lie bout my stories or me w/o having me there 2 challenge him, I wont appear on the network anymore
.@CNN has GOT 2 stop @CLewandowski_ from lying bout me and my Trump stories. Re: #TrumpInCuba, he said no facts. I quote company documents.
Wow, can @RogerJStoneJr spin a story. Ok, guess Illl have to unload info from his emails and other docs to show he's deceiving @Politico.
Why do I bother engaging these crazy Trump supporters with their endless conspiracy theories, deflections and insane rationalizations?
When Trump's lawyer threatened us on #TrumpInCuba, saying docs didnt exist, @Newsweek offered to post em all online.

14 questions for Mr. Trump by David Cay Johnston
5. On your presidential disclosure form, you value your Westminster Golf Club at more than $50 million; you told property tax authorities it was worth only $1.3 million. You claim your Palos Verdes, Calif., golf club is worth more than a quarter-billion dollars. For tax purposes, you claim it’s only worth $10 million. How do you justify this?
6. In 1983, you were among those named in sales tax fraud at the Bulgari store on Fifth Ave. You bought $65,000 worth of jewelry and evaded the tax by having empty boxes mailed out of state. Mayor Ed Koch said at the time that you and other customers should be jailed for 15 days as tax criminals. Should this fraud disqualify you from becoming President? If not, explain why.
7. When you had a New Jersey casino license, the man who supplied your helicopters for high-rollers and managed your personal helicopter, the Ivana, was indicted as a major drug trafficker. After Joseph Weichselbaum confessed, you wrote a letter pleading for a light sentence, describing the drug trafficker as “conscientious, forthright and diligent” and “a credit to the community.” Why?
8. State court papers identify you as the person who authorized an alleged quarter-billion tax fraud involving Trump SoHo hotel profits through a reorganization involving an Icelandic bank and a Russian oligarch. What prompted you to authorize the deal that is now alleged to be a tax fraud?
9. You were party to more than 4,000 lawsuits, many of them brought by workers and small businesses who say you refused to pay for services rendered and by investors who say you swindled them. What conclusion should Americans draw from the sheer number of lawsuits, especially when you settled many on the condition that court files be sealed?

Trump on Melania's post pregnancy weight!
I enthused that Melania, who stood quietly nearby aboard 5-inch stilettos, had lost all her baby weight. Trump corrected me: “She’s almost lost all the baby weight.’’
I was embarrassed for the mother of his youngest kid, who ignored the dig. Trump staffers asked a photographer and me to put sterile cotton booties over our shoes so as not to sully the carpet. It was time to get the hell out of the loony bin.

Trump will try to change the convo from his Debate FAIL! Expect Stunts!
Let's see what stunts are coming?
10 Ways to Catch a Liar:
Experts have 10 tips that can let you know if someone isn't telling you the whole truth.Tip No. 1: Inconsistencies
"About 4% of people are accomplished liars and they can do it well," says Newberry. "But because there are no Pinocchio responses to a lie, you have to catch them in it."
Sir Walter Scott put it best: "Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!" But how can you a catch a person in his own web of lies?
"Watch them carefully," says Newberry. "And then when they don't expect it, ask them one question that they are not prepared to answer to trip them up."
Tip No. 3: Gauge Against a Baseline
"One of the most important indicators of dishonesty is changes in behavior," says Maureen O'Sullivan, PhD, a professor of psychology at the University of San Francisco. "You want to pay attention to someone who is generally anxious, but now looks calm. Or, someone who is generally calm but now looks anxious."
The trick, explains O'Sullivan, is to gauge their behavior against a baseline. Is a person's behavior falling away from how they would normally act? If it is, that could mean that something is up.
Tip No. 4: Look for Insincere Emotions
"Most people can't fake smile," says O'Sullivan. "The timing will be wrong, it will be held too long, or it will be blended with other things. Maybe it will be a combination of an angry face with a smile; you can tell because their lips are smaller and less full than in a sincere smile."
These fake emotions are a good indicator that something has gone afoul.
Tip No. 5: Pay Attention to Gut Reactions
"People say, 'Oh, it was a gut reaction or women's intuition,' but what I think they are picking up on are the deviations of true emotions," O'Sullivan tells WebMD.
While an average person might not know what it is he's seeing when he thinks someone isn't being honest and attribute his suspicion to instinct, a scientist would be able to pinpoint it exactly -- which leads us to tip no. 6.
Tip No. 6: Watch for Microexpressions
Tip No. 7: Look for Contradictions
Tip No. 8: A Sense of Unease
Tip No. 9: Too Much Detail
Tip No. 10: Don't Ignore the Truth
