Lawsuit Charges Donald Trump with Raping a 13-Year-Old Girl

With all the women coming forward with allegations of Trump groping them, I wonder why this allegation of Trump brutally raping a 13 y.o. girl isn't listed among them?

Trump will win the election and is more popular than Obama in 2008, AI system finds

While the poll numbers have been universally looking good for Hillary, this AI based prediction is unnerving:

I'm hoping its system is fundamentally flawed, but who knows?

The comments are heavily Trump supporters.

Republican Hypocrisy

Useful ammo:


Donald Trump - What you didn't know about him (The Trump Tapes Vol. 1)

Never has there been a political candidate to provide so much fodder for his opponents:

Cameras Catch Donald Trump Looking Very Angry After Final Debate

I just liked this pretty convincing evidence that Trump knows he lost the debate, and along with it the presidency:

Oh how it must rankle him! :-)

Obama, Holder to lead post-Trump redistricting campaign

I've always thought eliminating gerrymandering should be a top priority for not just Democrats, but the whole democratic system. With a heavyweight like Obama behind it after he leaves office, perhaps something will get done:

The GOP double standard and hypocrisy

Attributed to an Alex Schiller:

Bill Clinton cheats on his wife. Impeach him. Trump proudly brags about sexual assault (and has cheated on his wives). Elect him. Hillary oversaw the department of state while 4 people died in an embassy attack. Put her in jail. Two Republicans were in office while over 200 people died in embassy attacks. No problem. Immigrants don't pay taxes. Round them up and kick them out. Trump doesn't pay taxes. He's a business genius. Hillary's charity foundation only spent 87% of their donations helping people. She's a crook. Trump's charity foundation paid off his debts, bought sculptures of him, and made political donations to avoid investigations while using less than 5% of funds for charity (and he got shut down by NY State). So savvy...put him in the white house. Trump made 4 billion dollars in 40 years, when an index fund started at the same time with the same "small loans" he received would be worth $12 billion today...without a trail of bankruptcies, thousands of lawsuits and burned small business owners. He's a real business whiz. Hillary took a loss of $700k. She's a criminal. Trump is the first candidate in the modern era not to release his tax returns, and took a billion dollar loss in one year. Genius. Hillary takes responsibility for private email servers and apologizes. Not credible. Trump denies saying things (on the record) that he actually said (on the record), he's just telling it like it is.

Your arguments are thin. Your ignorance of reality is shocking. Your double-standards are offensive, and your willingness to blindly support him and recycle the rhetoric is absurd. Your opinion is not fact. Your memes are not news articles. And your hypocrisy is not a platform.

Drunk Donald Trump

This explains it all! Trump is just drunk but speaking quicker than a drunk normally would:

Mike Pence couldn't defend Donald Trump at the Vice Presidential debate

I knew this wouldn't take more than a day to come out, and I wasn't disappointed:

and

That's what happens when you deny what we've all already seen on TV.

Hopefully it's useful stuff to use on your conservative associates.

Riches-to-Riches Trump Spins Fake Horatio Alger Tale

The thing most people who support trump list as his best attribute is usually his business acumen. So info like this is (well, should be) devastating. It builds on the Robert Reich conversation post a few days ago:

Universal Basic Income and FAIRtax

This argument for a universal basic income combines both technology and politics:

And here is one detailed approach through the use of "FAIRtax:

But it has problems, as FactCheck.org shows:

Guess What, Haters. You Just Wasted a Decade.

It's about time to remind the conspiracy theorists that none of their warnings about Obama have come true:

http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/9/30/1576251/-Guess-What-Haters-You-Just-Wasted-a-Decade

I have a $1000 bet with a fundie who is absolutely convinced Obama is the anti-Christ and that he will seek a third term. I am going to be donating the money to an atheist organization. :-)
