Hmmmm....Trump meets Gorbachev in 1987
This is like the first picture of Trump I've seen all cycle that makes me think more of him. Gorby is awesome.
Right but my point is that he could just be relying on those rumors.
I doubt there's anything left on par with the Access Hollywood tape, but if there is, I can't imagine it wouldn't drop today - and probably soon.

So did Billy Joel... If this is it, it ain't a damn thing.

Putin was a KGB agent back then so yeah.
Wild speculation: someone got old KGB files of Trump
Assuming the oppo is russian-related or even exists
Speculation is fun!

This rush to post damning stuff is not how it works. Newspapers, even rags like NYPost will need to run everything by legal so Trump doesnt bankrupt them in retaliation. All the sources and evidence must be solid as fuck to withstand any lawsuit.
Which is why they may be sitting on it. Or thrown it into trashbin because they couldnt corroborate it or legal told them donnt run it.
LOL...no shit
I'm just bored and playing with google.So....anything in here?
Trump-Koch feud story in the NYT July 6, 1987
http://www.nytimes.com/1987/07/06/nyregion/trump-feud-barbs-show-deeper-split.html?pagewanted=all
I agree but we'll see. No matter what it is I'm just looking forward to seeing it. The next 4 days are going to be slow and torturous enough.
At this lafe stage if you don't have video, docs, or pics people won't care.
Oh and CNN just debunked the Clinton Indictment nonsense Fox reported.
Another random FL note: the early vote is already higher than the total EV for 2012. It's also up to 57% of the total vote in 2012. Even with a rise in overall turnout we're looking at >70% voted before Tuesday at this rate. And the demographics are tipping toward Clinton, not away, as the average voter is getting younger as the election nears.
Trump is going to have to crush it on Tuesday to make it really competitive.

I have a feeling that this russian oppodroppo this is going to be so crazy sounding, with not enough proof that no one is going to listen.

In 5 years, Rick Wilson's going to be tweeting about how he got Trump to release his long-form birth certificate and how proud he is to have put an end to the controversy. Until anything comes out (and if you have it, you jolly well release it before the last week of the campaign), this is a 50 gallon barrel of fetid bullshit.

But the FBI already thoroughly investigated and found no ties. Or are you telling me the FBI is being shady? I'll believe it when long dormant Twitter accounts rise from the grave.

I don't know Cesare's pedigree, so i'll leave him out of this, but the core group fluffing BOMBSHELL! are well known GOP ratfuckers and hangers-on operatives. They're obviously feeding within the same echo chamber, butressing eachothers wild pronouncements of, "any day, now!" because in the absence of their normal GOP/Conservative base, they're relying on a Dem/Liberal cheering section to keep them, and their paying customers (McMuffin) in the news.
Without some movement provided by thousands of liberals clamoring for the latest hint of "OPPO!" they would be sitting at home pining for FOX invites. Instead they're replacing those lost opportunities with MSNBC invites.
Yeah I can't disagree with you there.
Saving this post for tomorrow when Trump is exposed as an undercover KGB agent.
Since the FBI is backing Trump can the CIA back Hillary and drag Trump off to one of their overseas prisons?
I think Obama's been great in Florida today. Neither of the candidates have a tenth of his charisma, but I hope he's an effective advocate for her in turning out more votes there. Gonna miss that man as my President.

He already said it will be released tomorrow. He's just laying the groundwork.
Either Trump is KGB or a Russian citizen! Cesare hint pls.

My mother says Trump can't win because George Clooney promised he wouldn't. Polls are meaningless in the face of Clooney's word.
Easily if you're time traveling. Silly question.

So I am starting to think Comey got wind of the NY office planning to leak the email stuff in the worst way possible, and fired off his incredibly vague letter as a way to insert himself in the center of it in the most neutral way possible to diffuse the shit show his own office was trying to start.
Either way what a mess in the FBI.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
This would just be an absolutely massive story. I don't want to believe it because of how damaging it would be for our country, but seeing how the country and media would respond would be so bizarre.

I just hope they've got buses to route people to polling locations after these events. I think he'll be effective in securing voters. He genuinely excites people and most Americans realize now after this current cycle just how good we've had it the last 8 years. He definitely did not campaign this hard for the Senate races in 2010 and 2014 but back then he was shackled by the political climate and false responsibility for stuff like Benghazi, Obamacare and back in 2010 the Tea Party was at it's height. He's going to give her Florida and NC I think. I almost wish these were the only two states he campaigned in btw now and election day. Maybe throw in Nevada. Bernie and Michelle should hit up NH...the demographics there are well suited to their appeal. Hilary well she needs to be everywhere lol

Imagine it. The Secret Second American Civil War. Fought covertly between the forces of the CIA and the FBI with the public none the wiser. Like the Assassins and Templars.
We're not talking about something they just got yesterday though, right? This has been talked about for quite awhile, and reportedly is with multiple media outlets as well as being known seemingly by several unrelated people. The fact that it has so much hype and so many people know about it just reinforces things for me. The biggest drops we have seen this year have been sudden and quickly after being obtained.
It being garbage and put in the trash seems reasonable to me actually. If this thing does exist that is the most likely scenario I think.

His PR onslaught from nominally Liberal commentators, and the reporting from 'counter-leaking' FBI agents tends to paint a picture that he was jammed by these rogue agents. The story is that they held the info for weeks to keep their sneak attack secret. Now Comey is thrust in the middle trying to keep the focus on him, and away from his inability to keep partisan forces in the FBI ranks from wagging the whole organization.
If you believe that version of the spin, of course

What if he releases Trumps tax returns?

I will gladly eat crow if that turns out to be the case. So, just for fun, if this turns out to be the leak, and it's accompanied with really solid evidence (such as Trump saying as much on tape), what percentage of the general vote does he still get? 38% (factoring in people who voted early and don't know the procedure to change it)? Whatever it is, every single historical figure these people hold up as heroes (the founding fathers, Reagan, Jesus) is spinning in their grave.
Forgive my ignorance, but who's he?

Goddammit why does this election keep ruining completely unrelated things and people for me.

you can't put a price on sparks
On twitter, having it out with some trump supporter lady who calls herself "deeply consecutive"
I'm just going to call conservatives "consecutives" from now on.
