If Hillary wanted Assange dead, she would have done it with her own two hands.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

This is literally the stupidest thing in the world. If Hillary wants you dead, you're dead. Just ask Harambe.

But Adam, nobody can ask Harambe, he's de-...

Oh my God.

 

[Cyanity]

Man, today Cyanity is looking back at past Cyanity who used to admire Assange. The guy has gone full unhinged since then. I guess living in an Ecuadorian embassy for the better part of a decade will do that to you.

I also find it amusing that apparnetly the only website they could get to host the story was truepundit.com

We all know how a well-intentioned Assange took refuge in the Ecuadorian Embassy and discovered a passageway to a fantasy land that reshaped his worldview. Like Pan's Labrynth or Narnia or Fraggle Rock or something. Straight up Julian Assange in Wonderland. He's been weird since then. He moved his armoir in front of the miniature doorway, but sometimes he still finds snow on his bedroom floor.

Good morning!

@JenniferJJacobs (Bloomberg):

Bad time for Trump to be sliding. Voting is underway - Iowa was 1st of battlegrounds. FL, NC, NV will cast 50%+ of vote before Election Day.

 

[Wilsongt]

Well played, NYT. Putting Trump's taxes and Clinton's attack on Bill's mistresses on the front page so Fox didn't have to focus on the tax story!

 

[Mac_Lane]

If Clinton wanted assange dead I'm pretty sure he'd be dead.

Yep. Like that poor Harambe.

THIS is his story?

HARAMBE WAS AN INSIDE JOB
VOTE TRUMP JEWISH YEAR 5777

Google "Clinton body count" the media doesn't want you to know the truth!!!

 

[shem935]

lmao

ahahahaha

Seems more like the reason he didn't want to be seen in public, not knowing they don't exactly need LOS to hit with drone rockets.

Lol i saw that yesterday and thought it was a parody thing

Good numbers from Morning Consult. They're usually a bit pro-Trump but they do catch the trendz pretty well. I think the weekly MSNBC/Survey Monkey poll is releasing this afternoon.

 

[nature boy]

LMAO DAT Drudge TOP "STORY"

Nobody would notice a drone strike in Ecuador, is I guess the logic here? lol

Wow, the desperation is real

 

[balladofwindfishes]

I think he's been trapped in the same room for so long, he's lost his mind.

 

[Veelk]

Wait, is that the big Wednesday Tuesday Monday drop? Or is there still something coming?

 

[Slayven]

He is in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, but downing street does ignore a lot of Dr.Who shit.

 

[Wilsongt]

....Desperate much?

 

[Hydrophobic]

Oh, okay. So 'Nobody would notice a drone strike in London' is the logic then.

 

[shem935]

Not what I was expecting lol. It would be amazing if Trump repeats this.

I like how one day he's infertile and Chelsea's the daughter of someone else, the other day he has a son.

Just pick!

Of course. They wouldn't exist without spin.

 

[Emarv]

Drudge, get it straight! The new talking point is about Hillary being unfaithful, not Bill. Keep up!

Tell that to the NYT.

[balladofwindfishes]

Everyone knows Bill is/was unfaithful. That's not really a scandal or news.

 

[Plinko]

My goodness, Drudge has turned into a southern backwoods racist newspaper all of a sudden.

You know, outside of GAF, I never really noticed how conservative the internet can be.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

How the mighty have fallen.

 

[Emarv]

This is honestly way higher than I would have expected. Even if they just turn it off after 20 minutes.

I wish Trump would say something about the Khans just to make this week perfect.

I think it'll be closer to 2012 than to 80-90 million. If Trump and Clinton barely got over 80m and they're far and above a more interesting story than the VPs.

Also, the interest in Sarah Palin overshadowed even McCain a little bit in 2008, and I don't think the 2016 debate will be even close to it.

 

[User1608]

I'm estimating at most 50.0 for this year's VP debate.

Still excited for it.

 

[Holmes]

I'm predicting 65-70 million for the VP debate, with an outside shot at 75 million.

October is a hell of a month.

Just a wee bit unsettling that he told more than one hot woman she reminded him of his daughter. (shudder)

 

[balladofwindfishes]

The real debate was the most watched presidential debate of all time and got slightly above 81 million viewers.

The VP debate isn't even going to get close to that. Probably 50-60, at best.

 

[Slayven]

I don't think most people can pick Kaine or Pence out of a police lineup

 

[Teggy]

I'm assuming there will be a different Wikileaks story for the announcement.

I'm still bedwetting until then, because I have to.

 

[Emarv]

Aren't the 81-84 million numbers lowballing it? I thought I remember reading that those numbers didn't even include streaming. Just the networks combined. I have to imagine millions more watched it online in some ways. Maybe I'm mistaken.

I live in Ohio; here people definitely know who Pence is. I know one person who won't vote for Trump because Pence "destroyed Indianapolis".

They don't, but stream numbers get a little muddy because of international viewers.

My guess is, more than 100 million people probably watched the debate. But I don't think we'll ever know for sure.
