Yep, and I fear that any fact-checking at the debates on the most often used Trump lie of, “I was always against invading Iraq” will be seen as a partisan attack as it is not illogical to assume that if that was untrue it would have been flagged as such much earlier.

The worst (well, one of the worst -- who can keep count?) is when Hillary, in a speech, carefully and painstakingly -- with numerous actual examples -- laid out how Trump has worked and courted racists and used that as a base of support.

Trump simply replied with, “She’s a bigot” and headlines followed with “Candidates…

I’m with you on this. Hillary was SOOO far ahead, what is the media supposed to say? “yep hillary has this on in the bag, no reason to watch our election coverage, debates, or election night coverage.” I think part of this complex situation is that anything Trump did or any little surge the media portrayed as him…

Yeah, of all of Trump’s cons, that’s the one I still can’t believe is working so well. The “I’m rubber and you’re glue” platform, that apparently 40% of our country can’t see through.

The charity didn’t put on the tournament. It was for a different charity. The golf course ran the tournament, which is why they were sued. That’s a private business interest of Trump’s.

I literally can’t think of one job I would hire this man to perform.

Car salesman? Not enough charisma or knowledge.
Mid-level manager at an office job? He’d be an HR nightmare. Also not enough knowledge.
General manager at a fast-food chain? Couldn’t manage a staff.
Stock broker? He’s gone bankrupt 4 times.

What is he…

When the media pushes the same tired narrative over and over, it becomes believable. Donald Trump and his surrogates lie on TV every day, and it wasn’t until recently that there has been any pushback on behalf of the “journalists.”

All of this that he does and Hillary only has a 5 point lead? WTF is wrong with people?

And that is the “genius” of Trump. By constantly projecting his worse qualities onto everyone else, especially HRC, when someone pins his ass to the wall as the Washington Post and NYT have done several times, the right says HRC is just as bad and the media covers it as both have been subject of numerous allegations.

Oh, I wouldn’t want to make any leaps. Please explain the original post’s intended meaning? What does the woman’s state of impairment have to do with her getting kicked?

Seriously, Tom, can you guys please fucking focus on what really matters: did he stand respectfully during the pledge of allegiance or not?

It must be hell on your arthritis to have to scan down half a page rather than bitching and moaning.

I guess it makes sense when you consider that he’s not a journalist, but instead is a guy who makes his living lying to and spinning for journalists. It’s literally his job to stop them from spreading facts.

Look up; this is The Concourse, a sub blog specifically for Deadspin writers to approach subjects other than sport. Unfollow The Concourse and it won’t come up in your feed. When you see “shared from The Concourse” above any article on Deadspin, press the down arrow on your keyboard repeatedly until it disappears.…

Which is cool. As I see it, there’s a thin line between Deadspin’s political sports stuff and the Concourse’s straight political stuff, and, given the fate of Gawker, it’s one that I, as a consumer, am glad they crossed.

Yeah and we’re voicing our criticisms of you.

theconcourse.deadspin.com has always been more political posts. There are also posts on the deadspin page about football, but you know this already.

You are aware that this isn’t an actual paper based newspaper, right? If they post something political here (a thing they’ve *always* done) they’re not going to run out of room for the pointy ball stuff. There’s something like 22 (Don’t fact check me - I made that up) football stories on the “front” page right now; I…

“Third and sixth isnt a great building spot. I guess I could demolish the preschool and put in some condos though...”-Trump

I’m mystified as to how the hell everyone involved in selling the Iraq Invasion hasn’t been tarred, feathered, and have their name become synonymous with feces. WHY DID ANYONE ASK THIS FUCKFACE WHAT HE THOUGHT ABOUT ANYTHING?
