Omnibus Politics Thread: Campaign 2016 EditionFollow

When he is not doped up on the Mary Jane he'll be a fine President cogently and pointedly. Well, except Libertarians are awful except for their positions on personal liberties. The longest internet arguments I've ever had were against Libertarians: AnCap, and others. All comfortable so far in their status. All immoral, selfish, and privileged (so far of whom I've met; guess there might be Libertarians on welfare or homeless. Haven't encountered them yet, gosh!) Libertarians I've debated also use the most "no true Scotsman" excuses of anyone ever so far, enhanced by the subsects of Libertarianism. Anarcho-Captialism? Mutualism? Objectivism? Who knows what a Libertarian believes when he/she could shift the goal-posts so far or chide you for not debating against the actual one of the 4000 subsets he/she clings to? Libertarianism is a cult. Libertarians own Gold Roller Skates and skate away from challenge. And don't give one tiny **** about poor people.

Only reason I'd vote for Johnson is to get 5% pop vote to a third-party (and his party is more likely than Stein's). So, may. Will not vote for Trump or Clinton to approve the further destruction and displacement of millions of brown people abroad, and destruction of black people in-country.

"a vote for" blah blah blah...stfu with such a response, orthodoxy. If the utterly awful Trump wins, then it's too bad you picked the also utterly awful Clinton to run against him. Not the fault of voters who refuse to vote for either of these awful candidates.

Second debate was last night, and Trump apparently his previous claim of being less chivalrous towards Clinton meant he was going to fully embraced his need to be full on batshit crazy.

I dunno. It had its moments.

New NBC/WSJ poll gives Clinton an 11pt lead over Trump... in a 4-way race.

Who could have ever foreseen that something everyone knew was a bad idea would turn out to be a bad idea?

Or just report it and move on.

Speaking of obviously bad ideas, while Ryan might be finally re-realizing what a bad idea defending Trump is, a few people haven't quite caught up. According to Sen. Jeff Sessions, who happens to be a lawyer, says he's not so sure that kissing and grabbing women by the crotch without their consent is actually sexual assault.

I was honestly surprised that Republicans thought this was an issue that would affect them down-ballot as it's pretty much par for the course. Were they just looking for an excuse to ditch Trump and didn't really care what it was?

Ah, Trump voters have something in common with HRC after all.

Not even in the same ballpark as this moment.

Kurt Eichenwald notices Russia falsely reporting on a Wikileaks document and, out of amazing coincidence (heh), Trump putting it into a speech.

This won't get 5% of the Pussy Tape coverage, of course.

Obama just became my favorite president ever: President Obama Signs Babies Act, Mandates Baby Changing Stations Be Available To Dads Too.

All else is forgiven, now I won't have to wander around searching in vain just to be told the only changing tables are in the women's room. Having to change a ****-filled diaper in the back of the car will be a thing of the past now.
