Dear Rosie O'Donnell, Your Country Needs Your Help

Rosie (if I may be familiar):

Sometimes in a person's life circumstances arise where one individual, unbidden, has great responsibility thrust upon them. This is such a time, and you are the thrustee.

Whether you somehow saw him naked and could verify his tiny, shriveled manhood or landed a particularly telling insult in a joke years ago, you uniquely get under Donald Trump's skin merely by existing. This alone should get you a Nobel nomination, but I digress.

On Monday night Hillary thoroughly curb-stomped Trump in front of 80+ million people, but that's not enough to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, and your daughter Dakota, from the remote but extant possibility of a Trump Presidency.

We need you Rosie. We need you in the front row of the next debate, the "town-hall" in St. Louis. You don't need to actually do anything but be there, but you really need to do that.

Please?

Trump just admitted his entire immigration posture is a big scam

Source: Washington Post

Asked directly by O’Reilly whether he is “really rethinking your mass deportation strategy,” Trump replied: “I just want to follow the law. What I’m doing is following the law….We’re going to obey the existing laws.” Trump added:


“The first thing we’re gonna do, if and when I win, is we’re gonna get rid of all the bad ones. We have gang members, we have killers, we have a lot of bad people that have to get out of this country…they’re gonna be out of this country so fast your head will spin. We have existing laws that allow you to do that. As far as everybody else, we’re going to go through the process. What people don’t know is that Obama got tremendous numbers of people out of the country. Bush, the same thing. Lots of people were brought out of the country with the existing laws. Well, I’m going to do the same thing.”

It would appear the wingnuts haven't caught on that Trump's immigration plan is to continue President Obama's immigration plan. Give them time.

Rumblings of Revolt in Trumpsylvania

Univision has a piece up about Trump's meeting with Hispanic leaders:

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump plans to present an immigration plan in Colorado Thursday that will include legalizing millions of undocumented immigrants, according to three people present at a meeting the candidate attended Saturday with Hispanic leaders at Trump Tower in New York.

Somebody reposted it at the Freeper place and it's getting predictable responses"

Trump is finished if this is true!!!


crap.
who is left to vote for ?


He better don’t


NOT ONE SINGLE INCH.

NOPE.

This changes everything for me.


If true, it is all over for Trump.


Others are maintaining (and praying) that it's misinformation being promulgated (of course, they didn't use polysyllabic words) by liberals.

Trump Offering a Discount For Executive Campaign Membership!

I guess fundraising just ain't what it used to be...

Trump's website has been offering useless "membership" cards for various "levels", with the "Executive Gold" Membership, according to the website, limited: "Please know that not just anyone is eligible for Executive Membership. It’s a power, duty, and responsibility reserved only for those supporters who have displayed a steadfast commitment to our movement." That steadfast commitment being demonstrated by contributing $200.

UNTIL NOW!!

You can now join these elite ranks for a mere $49, a 75% discount!

Since everything else about the Trump campaign is low-rent there's no reason his Gold Card shouldn't be

Multiply Your Vote Using This One Weird Trick

I know the polls are all looking increasingly good for the future of the Planet. IGNORE THEM!

We need to play this one like we are behind, everywhere. No matter what pre-election polls look like we need to get every possible vote.

Now, we all know people who are less-than-totally insane, and would vote Democrat if they bothered to vote, but are unlikely to bother. Odds are you know a half-dozen or more like that; they are your assignment.

Go make yourself an expert on absentee voting in your State: learn all the Rules, and all the legit reasons one can vote absentee. Becoming an expert in most cases will take an hour.

Then use your newfound expertise to make it take NO EFFORT for your 6 non-voters to submit a ballot. Do whatever is legal, get them an application for an absentee ballot, buy them a stamp to mail it in, promise them a blowjob for a completed ballot (think of how much quicker you can wash the taste out than if Trumputin gets elected), do ANYTHING THAT'S LEGAL to get those ballots mailed in.

Do this, and if the much-desired landslide gets reported on Election Night you can sit back with a satisfied grin that would make the Cheshire cat blush.

Gallup: Trump support tumbles after conventions

Source: Politico

In the wake of the Republican and Democratic national conventions, voters are more likely to support Hillary Clinton than Donald Trump, according to a Gallup poll released Monday.

While 36 percent of adults are more likely to support Trump coming out of the RNC, 51 percent are less likely to vote for the real estate mogul after the GOP’s four-day event. The -15 net rating is the worst mark for the Republican nominee coming out of the convention since Gallup began asking the question in 1984, though the 1984 and 1992 GOP conventions were excluded


The convention has also shaped the views of the Republican Party. Fifty-two percent of those surveyed said they have a less favorable view of the GOP now, while 35 percent see the party more favorably.

After the DNC, 45 percent of adults said they were more likely to back Clinton, though 41 percent said they’re now less likely to do so. While the percent of respondents more inclined to vote for Clinton coming out of the convention is on par with the past two decades for the Democratic nominee, the 41 percent who are less likely to vote for Clinton represents the highest mark since 1984.

Debate commission to Trump: The dates are set

Source: Politico

The Commission on Presidential Debates responded to Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee's complaints about the debate schedule with a message on Sunday: The schedule is set.

"The Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) started working more than 18 months ago to identify religious and federal holidays, baseball league playoff games, NFL games, and other events in order to select the best nights for the 2016 debates," the commission said in a statement. "It is impossible to avoid all sporting events, and there have been nights on which debates and games occurred in most election cycles. A debate has never been rescheduled as a result."

Donald Trump: The Great Uniter

The Great Unification is now well under way; by November the vast majority of Americans will be united in a common goal. Beating Trump.

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/meet-the-big-name-republicans-supporting-hillary-clinton/ar-AAhOzIr?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartanntp

The list of sane Republicans who are publicly stating they will vote for Hillary is impressive. Less visible is the cohort of Republican women who will quietly join them, regardless of what they tell pollsters or their husbands.

By November all he'll have left are Freepers who think Mr. Khan somehow helped Donald.

I wish I was smart enough to know what the effect will be downballot. The Republican Party, if it survives in its present form, will be having a purge and restructuring of the rules.

Trumpistan and Nuclear Weapons: A Thought Experiment

IF Trump was worth as much as he claims (he's not), and if he managed to buy control of some small Country, say Equatorial Guinea, and started a nuclear weapons program that looked like it might succeed, what would the civilized world be willing to do to stop his program before it made a functional weapon? Economic sanctions? Bombing?

How much worse that it's possible he will get control of the most sophisticated nuclear arsenal on the planet?
