Missed lots of things.

Britain is stupid.
lol Trump.

Glenn Greenwald just RT'd this:
The problem? The Chamber of Commerce's statement does not mention Hillary or Democrats.
The other problem? Glenn Greenwald's pinned tweet:
Oops.

Note that Bernie and Trump campaigned on a straight up delusion. American manufacturing as an industry is fine, it just doesn't need labor any more.

Increased automation of repetitive manufacturing tasks in increasing manufacturing efficiency shocker.
I hate when politicians try to sell something which is both counter reality and counter common sense. Manufacturing is likely to continue to come back to Western countries, it's just not going to employ that many people when it does. Politicians should be trying to explain that, get people ready for it and develop strategies and policies to harness that for the good of everyone. But no, it's trade is bad!!!

So, I've been wondering how the GOP might react to a huge loss thanks to Trump.
Months ago, I just assumed it would be them going "not conservative enough, Cruz 2020!" but I wonder now if the GOP will realize that Trump is just a giant con and I want to see how they react to finally being conned on such a large scale.
The conservative movement, at least politically, has been a giant con for decades, especially in the recent term. Selling false promises on abortion-religion-guns to enact tax cuts for the wealthy and cuts in business regulations that mostly help their constituents.
They sell lies about things like Benghazi, e-mails, Fast & Furious, etc. The right wing media is basically a con media.
Their websites an stations sell giant cons like buying gold.
And now comes Donald Trump and he's the biggest con of them all. I am convinced his entire reason for this campaign was because he is struggling a bit financially and wanted to help himself. When his campaign is all said and done, I think all of this will become obvious. He is lining his coffers with the donated money. He doesn't give to charity even though he claims he does. IMO, it's pretty obvious at this point.
His University, his steaks, his board game. He's in a way the living embodiment of Herbalife of whatever. Sure, it's not a MLM or ponzi scheme in structure, but he's the actual con itself. And now his Presidential Campaign is his last ditch effort.
Not only do I not believe Trump is liquid rich, I think he's actually financially desperate.
And I wonder if the voters after November notice and if they do, their reaction to it.

sure, I agree. But eventually most people become self-aware. And could this be that tipping point?
I think in November the stories are going to come out full force. The amount of $$$ Trump's campaign will be putting into his own coffers will be staggering. This is a big reason why the big donors will stay home. They're smarter.

I think he's clearly just doing this to reassure voters that his dumpster of a campaign is not actually on fire, contrary to reports.

As jewelry? If you want to, sure.
As an investment, only if you want a high chance of losing money.
Moving a step beyond individual GoFundMe pages, Bernie himself is now asking for donations to get his delegates to the convention:

Holy fucking hell he did NOT give a speech in front of that shit. OMG. Trump, you beautiful flower. DO YOU MANE. DO YOU.
As to Hillary being upset at being upstaged by the Veep? Naw. It's not how she works. Besides, she wants to do the job of President. This whole campaigning thing is a necessary evil in the way of her actually being able to do the work. She's a work horse, not a show horse. If someone else can do the showy part, I think she jumps on that.

My point is, no, the Chamber of Commerce is not "supporting" Hillary. Being against Trump does not equal supporting Hillary, as Glenn's pinned tweet likes to remind us!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eP_Pb-ou1-Q
It is a zero sum game. Pulling your funds from Trump = supporting Hillary. It may only be "half a dollar/vote" by going from support to abstention, but its implicit support all the same.
They can't actively support Clinton in the way National Review likely will.
HahahahahaaaaaaaaaNOT TO MENTION HE'S GIVING THE SPEECH IN FRONT OF A GIANT PIECE OF TRASH

I buy that. Then, I expect in 2019, he will launch a new reality show on his network called The Nominee. And him and Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich will judge 16 contestants as they go through a variety of politically themed challenges, until one remains who becomes the 2020 Trump Party nominee.

Sorry. I have a soft spot for stopping people from investing in gold.
Hey, let's not go crazy.
The English are stupid*.
After how they voted during Brexit and especially after that "Trump exposed soliciting donations from Scottish MP's" story, I'm willing to give Scotland the benefit of the doubt.

My sincerest apologies to any Englishmen that frequent this fine thread. I'm sure you understand, given the circumstances.
I still like #TrumpsterFire

He stood in front of a literal wall of trash.
A LITERAL WALL OF TRASH!?
I'm so dead. This is it. I'm coming home, Jesus.

Trump was pro-Europe as late as 2013:

Did he get Mexico to pay for the trash I wonder.
Holy shit. Has he literally lost his mind? He went from that to pimping his golf course and cheering on the Leave vote?

Which is why Greenwald's pinned tweet is bollocks. Which, I do believe, was the poster's original point.

I wonder if Sam Wang over at Princeton Election is being much more cautious this time around regarding the Senate since he kind of whiffed on them last time around. The snapshot is currently:
Senate snapshot: Dem+Ind: 49, GOP: 51, Meta-margin: R +0.28%
Senate snapshot: Dem+Ind: 49, GOP: 51, Meta-margin: R +0.28%
Warren and Gingrich.

At my neurologist appointment today, I bitched until they turned it to something else. I cannot with Fox News.
Also, my brain is fine. I have a good brain, according to my doctor. Best brain.
If you're going to play bullshit cable news at least show CNN.

My former primary care doctor played HGTV, because she said "That can't piss anyone off, and if it does, they need a psychiatrist not me." She was awesome. I miss her.

Speaking of greenwald.

He posts a poll which a majority of voters want corbyn to resign but labor voters are only 54% in favor.
You literally have to pay to be a labour member. Its an economic punishment to the poor but only labour voters matter I guess.
Wonder what he thought about bernie and registered democratic voters overwhelmingly favoring clinton
He also agrees with America First-ism and anti-globalism all while hyping up US violations of INTERNATIONAL* Law
*adjective: transcending national boundaries or viewpoints

Fox is way better. You know what it is and it's entertaining to see what they're saying.
CNN is a fucking joke but in an unfunny way.
He went to Jared?
