The Mooch is on CNN! Well maybe was. He was talking slowly and carefully, before I peeled away he was talking about no slurs from the president, but then he started to get wound up saying that these reports about the tape not being real, are not real because there is no evidence.

a lady at work who is a Democrat now doesn't like Elizabeth Warren and won't vote for her if she runs for president, so it worked making the issue of the CFPB about her instead. she's a fraud, same as Trump!

Based on the Native American narrative?

FWIW - both my and my wife's family have stories about Native American blood. Neither of us ever believed it (nor did my parent in the "blood line"), so this was some sort of generational thing? The timing would say between 100 - 130 years ago.

Note: Sonny Skyhawk was interviewed and he had a notional figure of 1/3 of American feel that they have some Native American heritage. It was a simple statement, not a defense.

Roy Moore has erased Doug Jones' lead, thanks largely to the fact that the vast majority of Republicans don't believe the allegations against Moore. Just 9% of Trump supporters believe them.

lol just nuke alabama.

yep, as forecasted, because ALABAMA. They don't like to be told what to do down there, yet act like a herd.

Of course that's just one poll and I'd like to see more this week, but he's getting Access Hollywood timing so it'll all blow over by election day.

the way we deal with race in the US is pretty absurd, so she probably heard stories from her grandmother who heard from her whoever, etc etc and it snowballed a bit on her until she later in life probably realized that it was wrong for her to identify in that manner. This mild lie compared to the mountain of shit that comes from the other side is something I can forgive because she really didn't gain anything from it and is now having it used against her. it was brought up by scott brown in a fairly racist manner and now Trump has amplified that to a higher degree. if it were someone who were genuinely upset or felt her identifying in this way was insulting to them, I could see that and do see that and she should apologize to them. But fuck these disingenuous twerps out there using it for political gain. we all see what's going on with how it's being used. trump is a better funded o'keefe. he's not on the level, and we shouldn't accept attacks from him and the congressional GOP as though they are.

But would you be shock if Moore won?

it would shock me if Jones won. This stuff came out a month before election day and will not matter by Dec 12.

It will matter. The question is if it will matter enough.

oh you know what i mean. it only matters if it achieves a specific result. i'm sure we'll all be very happy with a 4 point moore victory.

He is 63, and 62 is the minimum age for taking his Congressional pension. After 13 terms in Congress, it's probably a significant amount.

Excited to see the wonderful deal Trump comes up with today.

The reporting last night said he had already filed his petitions for re-election and was pulling them. He presumably knew when he could draw a pension & that Congress sucked before yesterday. Or maybe the reporter was off base.

Maybe, I havent read anything about it. I just looked up his age when you asserted it's a weird time for him to retire, and to me, it seems like a logical time for him to retire.

PREP INFIGHTING!!!

HAWKLET vs. HAWKLET!!!

Diane Feinstein should take a damn hint and retire, too
