Damn, that was supposed to go in the Convention thread.
After Trump tweeted that Bernie had wasted his time, Bernie tweeted, “Never tweet”.
Could they become an apoplectic one instead? Death would come so much faster that way.
So, almost but not quite entirely unlike Scalia, Thomas or Alito, then ?
Ok, anyone notice this? Here is the GOO platform (pdf) from their recent swaréy in Cleveland. Turn to page 5 and make note of the “signers” (or whatever they are). Who is that guy in the middle? And how did he get let out?
That’s the 2012 platform. Also, McDonnell’s conviction was overturned, and as far as I know he was free while appealing it. I don’t think he was actually locked up, was he?
And it’s spelled soiree.
Pronounced “shit show”. French can be confusing that way.
No, it is spelled “soirée”. But Republicans occasionally read this thread, so I wanted to make sure they would understand.
Oh, and current draft of the 2016 platform is here. Mostly not all that interesting, except for the silly parts.
So Trump called on Russia to hack and release more Clinton emails. I’d ask if a candidate has ever pleaded for help from another country to do something illegal to harm his opponent, but I’m pretty sure this is another one of those firsts. I really can’t believe what I’m seeing here, and there’s still 3 months to go!
Not picking on you, specifically, but he didn’t say “hack”, he said “find”. You know, like maybe one day one of the Kremlin’s cleaning ladies will open a closet door and there’s a cardboard box sitting there, labeled “Hillary’s E-mails”. And her boss will be all like, “Great! Vladimir’s been looking for those”.
Somehow, I’m now picturing someone very like that Russian lickspittle Boris on “Archer.”
I think it simply shows how confused Trump is. Russia has Snowden, and Snowden has suitcases full of Wikileaks disks, or maybe disks with everyone’s private PGP keys, so Putin should be able to twist Snowden’s arm to get some good embarrassing info.
Next, someone needs to explain “Classified” to the guy who wants to be president.
Guy?
(Just preempting the inevitable snarky and dumb comment from a conservative about how Hillary had the same difficulties.)
Hillary wants a foreign power to hack into American servers?
With a normal person, I’d give them the benefit of the doubt. But not Trump
A normal person wouldn’t say that to begin with, because they’d know that it was a career-endingly stupid thing to say.
Except, Trump’s career is more analogous to something like leukemia: the worst thing that can happen to it only makes it get uglier and harder to deal with.
I don’t think that is what he meant.
