I have to actually say I stopped watching morning joe and I'm a lot happier. Lol. Guess I'm not a sadomasochist after all.

Definitely watching next Wednesday tho.

Today is HOPIUM DAY II

Wonder if we are getting any polls.

Same. I haven't watched cable news for a while now. I couldn't stand the poll cherry picking.

Play the audio on air but leave most of the video blurred. Then pull a Trump and tell your audience to go watch the sex tape on [insert porn site here].

Tell families to lock their children away because fuck it we're going full uncensored.

Live commentary with Wolf Blitzer whispering "dead heat" as Trump pumps away.
 
Libel is a weird reason. Because Trump is a famous public figure, you basically have to prove the story was a deliberate malicious lie to destroy someone.

"In New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, the Court held that proof of actual malice is required for an award of damages in an action for libel involving public figures or matters of public concern."

There's like no chance of him doing that considering how newsworthy this would be.

Well there's a set of limited scenarios:

- Kompromat doesn't exist/wasn't leaked (just gossip);
- Media outlets think it's too graphic;
- Media outlets are too afraid of legal ramifications (like how NBC botched the Access Hollywood tape), although I agree Trump has a really hard case to prove libel, maybe the media outlets are being too overzealous in their investigation

Assuming that both British and American media have something, the legal argument does sound a bit weak.

But holy shit intel agencies don't like Trump, they might want to weigh in.

MARK HALPERIN what do you make of the state of the race where alien robot Hillary Clinton is flopping

"Well"

MARK HALPERIN we said it months ago

"He is perhaps the most talented public figure ever in history all over my face yes"

RICHARD HAAS how dangerous to America is bitch Clinton

MIKA where's my sandwich

MARK HALPERIN what are the optics of James comey having seven thousand FBI agents investigating Hillary's Weiner

MARK HALPERIN

WILLIE GEIST you are way too ugly to have a spot on morning TV. Or any tv. WILLIE GEIST which donor to the Clinton foundation are you
 
(Clinton left the State Department in 2013, which means that if she had used its unclassified email system rather than her private server—a decision that has dogged her throughout the campaign—any of her emails on the government system could have been obtained by Russian hackers).

http://newsweek.com/donald-trump-vladimir-putin-russia-hillary-clinton-united-states-europe-516895

So by using her private email server, she avoided her emails getting into Russia's hands. She's practically an e-mail patriot.

Idiots trying to run with some nonsense that Bill and Hillary are connected with a child abductor.

There are some people who need Jesus.

In the rumored video I would think the apparent age of the prostitues could make it a big deal, or not.
 
I don't know what direction Michigan is going in, but Hillary got my vote via absentee ballot a few weeks ago.

I can tell you anecdotally that I know as many people planning to vote Trump as Clinton and those Trump voters aren't the demographics you'd think. I talking pretty highly educated people, University of Michigan educated with Masters degrees. Age range is 35-65. Not hurting financially at all, never been unemployed. A few of them are even people who voted for Obama. Their votes seem to be more antiestablishment than pro Trump from conversations I've had. This is all to say I have no idea what the electorate is going to do in this state.
 
Sneaky good jobs report this month. Headline number was +161K but +44K in revisions and the big thing is .4% wage growth. Consistent with the data showing middle class wages are finally going up.

Speaking of:

One of Tim Kaine's college roommates wrote this on facebook. Calls him the best person I ever met:

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?...31049324.1073741826.1389544798&type=3&theater

He’s as confused by romance as everyone else.

That year he met a fellow student, Anne Holton, who shared his commitment to social justice. She began spending more time at the house and bringing over cookies. Tim was the last to understand where their relationship was heading. We would have told him earlier but we didn’t want Anne to stop baking.

Sure sounds like him lol.

This SEPTA strike is getting annoying. I hope these union people know that if they cause havoc they're increasing the chance of trump getting elected and destroying their little union.
 
More like Hopium Days because

I'm driving from Miami to Orlando tomorrow just to vote. I will ponder the whole way there if I'm really going to vote for Clinton or if I will write some random person's name in. I will not vote for Trump, but not sure I will vote for her. I feel really conflicted. I will vote on the issues and against Little Marco. Don't know anything about the other people on the ballot, so I might just leave those blank.

Do I just go to the place, walk in, show my ID, and vote? Or do I need anything else?

I thought about staying home, but I wanna vote for medical weed and against Little Marco and that amendment 1, so won't do that. I can't promise I'll vote for her, sorry.

You live in the most important state just like in the 2000 election that got us Bush :/ sometimes you have to do the greater good
