@raniakhalek
I've been asking Syrians who they want to win for president. The vast majority say Trump bc they feel he's less likely to bomb them.

I dislike neolib warhawks as much as the next guy, but cmon

Transition team update from Trump... Giuliani as Attorney General, Newt Gingrich as Secretary of State, Reince Preibus as chief of staff, Michael Flynn as defense secretary or National Security adviser, Steven Mnuchin as Treasury secretary, Lew Esineberg as commerce secretary. Corey Lewansowski or David Bossie would be the RNC chairman!

is this a Democratic GOTV effort?

Some good NH polls this morning for Clinton.

Ohio on the other hand seems like a lost cause. Thanks you fucking rednecks.

Can't believe FL is going to let Rubio get away with being the most nakedly political piece of garbage in history.

PA rules for voting

Items allowed: Voters with a legal right to carry a firearm may do so when voting unless the polls are located at a place where firearms are banned, such as a school or courthouse. Voters may not behave aggressively with their firearm or use it to intimidate other voters. Counties set their own policies related to electronic devices, such as smartphones. Berks County does not have any policy regulating electronic devices at the polls.

Voter intimidation: State and federal law prohibits people from harassing, threatening or discriminating against voters or otherwise interfering with voters' right to vote. Such behavior is a crime punishable by up to a $5,000 fine and up to two years in prison. Some examples of voter intimidation include:
Aggressive behavior in or outside of the polling place or using raised voices, offensive or threatening language, taunting chants or violence.
Blocking the polling place entrance or disrupting lines.
Confronting, questioning or demanding documentation from voters.
Photographing or videotaping voters to intimidate them.
Treating voters differently based on race or other trait.
Distributing false information about the election.
Confronting voters in an official-looking uniform.

Reporting intimidation: Voter intimidation should be reported to the county elections board and district attorney. Voters can also contact the state at 877-868-3772 or the U.S. attorney's special prosecutor at 215-861-8200.

Electioneering: Campaign materials cannot be distributed or displayed within 10 feet of the polling place entrance. Voters may bring campaign literature into the voting booth but must not leave it there. Voters, but not elections officials, may vote wearing campaign clothing or buttons as long as they do not draw attention to it inside the polling place. No campaigning can happen within the polling place.

Poll watchers: Credentialed through political parties and candidates. They may challenge voters but may not confront voters directly. Instead, they must voice concerns to the on-site judge of elections in the precinct. Poll watchers should not wear partisan apparel or buttons.

Challenging a voter: A voter's right to vote in the precinct can be challenged by an elections worker, poll watcher or another voter. The challenge must be addressed to the judge of elections, not directly to the voter. There are only two legal reasons to challenge a voter: The voter is not who he or she says he is or the voter does not live in the precinct. A voter's eligibility to register to vote cannot be challenged at the polls. The judge of elections may determine what is a "good faith" challenge. Challenging all voters is not allowed. Nor is systematically challenging voters of a particular race, ethnicity or other group.

How a challenge works: When the judge determines a challenge is in "good faith," the voter can bring another voter from the precinct to vouch for his or her identity or residency by signing an affidavit. After that, the voter can vote as normal. If the voter is unwilling or unable to find a witness, he or she can cast a provisional ballot.
Provisional ballots: Cast in cases when a voter's right to vote in the precinct cannot be verified, such as when a voter is challenged, does not appear in the poll book, goes to the wrong polling place, or does not have ID when voting for the first time in the precinct. Provisional ballots are sealed and are counted only after the voter's right to vote in the race is verified.

I mean even if you like Rubio, you have to cringe at going from seemingly not caring much for being a senator, to running for president (and clearly stating he will not run for senate), to lambasting trump, to getting destroyed and saying hey i guess i'll just run for senate again, to saying we must elect donald trump. POTUS said it best...he's willing to be anyone just to be someone.

The only bit in there he flip flopped on was running for re-election to the Senate, which is in the grand scheme of political flip flops a pretty trivial thing, and in doing so he might save the Senate for the party. Really nothing to cringe at there. Also he's infinitely more competent than his opponent.

says you can't trust donald trump with nuclear codes but you have to vote for him. its just weird that he probably could condemn trump in that state and still win yet he's nearly stumping for the guy. i get they're pretty much all cowards but this seems particularly craven.

some Lyndon Larouche guy yelled at me this morning because I laughed at him handing out that stupid Larouche newspaper. he was like, a vote for Hillary is a vote for a criminal! with apparently no knowledge of Larouche's prison time.
This is what a real tenderoni likes to do for you

Trump and Clinton are some of the most disliked candidates to ever run for President. It doesn't surprise me someone like Rubio would eventually back Trump using the case that he believes for as bad as Trump is, Clinton is worse in his mind. If either party nominated another person it would probably be a landslide victory (Still could be for Clinton).

Julian Assange stated Trump won't be allowed to win. It's a rigged system, folks:

“My analysis is that Trump would not be permitted to win. Why do I say that? Because he has had every establishment off his side. Trump does not have one establishment, maybe with the exception of the Evangelicals, if you can call them an establishment. Banks, intelligence, arms companies, foreign money, etc. are all united behind Hillary Clinton. And the media as well. Media owners, and the journalists themselves.”

Plus maybe the voters.

Wikileaks wants us to vote Jill Stein.
