The internals in the new Fox News poll are devastating for Donald Trump.

It blows my mind he even has 35% of people under 35

So there is a floor, huh? And it's about 35-39%

So, what would Trump need to do in order to be charged with some sedition or treason? If it's mid November and he's refused to concede, instead telling his fuckwit supporters the election was rigged and the second amendment folks could still take action, what's the path forward? How do we recover from that?

I have evolved my stance. I still think he dials it back just a little after a massive Hillary victory...he says she won and he won't fight it. He say it might be rigged and everyone was out to get him from the beginning...then he launches his dumb trump streaming service and it fails within a year or two.

his whole schtick is outsider and change. doesnt look good when they "career politician" is edging you out there.

Saw a clip of KAC on CNN exclaiming how befuddled she is that HRC isn't in the low 50s in all these polls which. It is as if she has no idea that partisanship exists. however, he explanation did give a wink to how bad of a candidate she thinks DT is.

I don't think we can even entertain talk of charges without direct action and involvement. Gum flapping is permissible. If there is any credence given to charges, and the bar is very necessarily high for those charges, it just changes the chant to Jail XXX. That is not what we want, nor is where we want to live.

I forget which pod I was listening to yesterday that brought it up (538 maybe) but they pointed out that Todd Akin got 39%. So yeah, that range seems like a safe bet for the floor.

He plans to meet with Putin after the election if he wins. If he actually had the nerve to try to meet with Putin after the election despite losing, then he should be charged.

Or if he's actually trying to urge an insurrection, then he should be charged.

Until then, it's just words. Incredibly damaging words.

Inciting a riot or hate crimes is very much illegal. So it's a bit more complicated than what you suggest.

I saw this a day or so ago, but don't remember any sunlight here. This is a catalog of deleted Trump Twitter posts on 2012 election night. He tweets about rigging, conspiracy, revolution, and <drum roll> making America great again. This whole shitfest was born that night it would seem, and it has run from this tweet rant playbook.

Special thanks to the internet for not ever letting anything disappear!

5,000 civilians have fled the city of Mosul in anticipation of the fight. We have about 100 advisers/air controllers helping facilitate the ISF and Peshmerga. This is actually a fight largely led by them, as it should be. Wish it was this easy to figure out who was who in Syria.

This is a city and area of 1.5 million people. The Un expects at least 200K to flee for camps. This is going to be horrible, because ISIL will likely use many civilians as shields, and possibly worse.

turns out Ecuador itself restricted Assange's access because he's wading into the current US presidential race by releasing documents from Clinton's campaign. They do not want to be accused of influencing foreign elections.
