The political press has already written ecstatically that Trump won the debates—they’re just waiting for the actual debates to happen so they can hit the “send” button and go out for drinks.

Nothing’s going to change the political press, which has its thumb firmly on the scale for Trump, and has had for months now. Even before Trump became the nominee, going back to June of 2015 there was a bizarre spate of overwhelmingly negative coverage of Hillary—82% and rising.

They’re running Trump, too,those foxy little multi-taskers.

When the federal voting age was first lowered from 21 to 18 back in 1971, by constitutional amendment and to the noisy cheers of a generation, I had a political science professor, a tough little Marxist, who shrugged cynically when asked in class about the potential impact.

Shit’s always going down at Reddit. Shit going down is the whole Reddit business model.

Cite the poll.

Magic,duct tape, the magic of duct tape, body glue, shapewear,built-in bras—whatever it takes. It takes a lot.

Do not expect journalism from the kind of people who refer to “the narrative,” and who give bonus points to the candidate who “controls the narrative.”

You’re absolutely right. This is revolting and obvious propaganda, it’s deeply corrupt, and it is purely designed to inoculate the cops from criticism while justifying the bogus “war on drugs” (a $16 billion industry in this country) so that all that sweet, sweet taxpayers’ money will continue flowing in to police…

No, I’m glad she said deplorables, and people need to stop acting as though Democrats need to stand in the corner being very, very, very careful not to say the Wrong Thing or else the Republicans will be mad.

That’s the whole Republican secret sauce right there. Eliminate democracy by misdirection.

My mother in law is voting for Trump in large part because he reminds her of my late father in law, also an abrasive, loud, socially graceless New Yorker who never changed a diaper, although not, it must be said, a billionaire.

This is not going to happen. They’re not going to ask Trump questions. They’re going to put Trump in the fucking Oval Office, God help us.

The dog looks as though it’s afraid to move.

Hillary has released thorough health records, and has authorized her physician to speak to reporters. Do you think pressuring Trump to release a real health record will turn out to be any more successful than all that pressure on Trump to release his taxes?

Born under a bad sign, I guess.

Just so we understand, here’s a brief history of presidential health since the year 1900 (let’s not go all the way back to George Washington’s rotten teeth, tuberculosis, and frequent bouts of malaria, dysentery and smallpox, shall we not?)—not that any of this is going to save Hillary from the cable TV crowd:

You must understand that for most of our political press—still overwhelmingly white and male, still semi-consciously bitter about the fact that a black guy got to be president before all the white guys had had their turn—the Big Get will not be to see the first woman sworn in as president of a country where women…

It just seems pretty clear to me that the power of dark money being what it is, and the interests of the corporate news business being what they are, these dreadful people have taken a deep breath and decided to go all in for Trump, mostly because that’s the only way they can guarantee themselves a Supreme Court and a…

The Russian mob is a pretty big presence in parts of New Jersey, so I guess Chris represents some of the same constituency represented by Donald.
