I'm no fan of David Frum but this is good:

@davidfrum We're nearing the point where "Deranged Clinton Haters for Clinton" may become the election's most important swing bloc

Pretty clear Clinton is getting a sizable debate bounce. Polls today have HRC +7 in NH, +6 in NV, back ahead in FL.

anyone see the Frontline on the election? pretty good.

I think they were pretty light on Trump. There was some really interesting stuff about Hillary that I wasn't familiar with. How she was this defiant, sorta-beatnik hippie wife of Bill during his first term as governor, and many many folks in Arkansas really resented that she wasn't a southern stepford wife. So he loses in the race for his second term, and she takes it to heart, and reinvents herself as a perfect southern wife, even affects a southern drawl.

it also highlighted how many of the major decisions she's made as an adult were either morally questionable or just a poor decision. there was also this about Gaddafi which is really tasteless.



The Donald stuff was basically about how he's an emotionally stunted 5 year old, he's never evolved as a human, and after a fairly successful act 1 of his career, he was a failure until that idiotic TV show, which that disgusting Howdy Doody creep Roger Stone admitted had the conscious side benefit of prepping the moronic American public into thinking Trump looked presidential.

That was my favorite part of the Emmys... when Jimmy Kimmel ripped into Mark Burnett for giving us the Trump campaign.

where all the white people registering at?:
The story is the same in Pennsylvania. Since May 2015, registrations have increased 4.9 percent in the 63 counties where a majority of potential voters are non-college-educated white people. But in the other four counties (Philadelphia, Delaware, Montgomery and Chester), registrations have risen 6.3 percent. Those four more-cosmopolitan counties combined for an Obama margin of 611,724 votes in 2012, nearly twice his statewide margin of victory.

Can't get over those Machado tweets. Dude is so out of control he is losing sleep over it. What an incredible bait from the Clinton campaign. They need a few more of those gems.

Yeah, that one really seemed to get to him. His response, "Where did you get that, where did you get it?" was right out of a Hollywood drama.

pacino wrote:Duterte continues to be a piece of shit:

Noting that Hitler had murdered millions of Jews, Duterte said: "There are three million drug addicts (in the Philippines). I'd be happy to slaughter them.

"If Germany had Hitler, the Philippines would have...," he said, pausing and pointing to himself.

"You know my victims. I would like (them) to be all criminals to finish the problem of my country and save the next generation from perdition."

Duterte was voted to power in a May election on the back of a vow to end drugs and corruption in the country of 100 million people. He took office on June 30 and over 3,100 people have been killed since then, mostly alleged drug users and dealers, in police operations and in vigilante killings.

Two days before the Philippines election, outgoing President Benigno Aquino had warned that Duterte's rising popularity was akin to that of Hitler in the 1920s and 1930s.

"I hope we learn the lessons of history," Aquino said in widely reported remarks. "We should remember how Hitler came to power."



I have a Phillipine student in one of my classes, super nice kid. I asked him about Duterte this morning and he really likes him. I brought up the rape thing and he didn't know anything about it. I'm temped to ask him about this, but it's not appropriate to push back too much. Duterte is one scary guy. The boldness of his depravity signals a horrific future, I'm afraid.

Hillary should arrange a bus tour of everyone Trump has attacked including the reporter with the disability.

yeah there are a few processes for that
