Is it?

People told me never to block quote large chunks of text and to selectively quote the best bits and where possible bold the key points for readability. It's certainly seems to be standard anyways, and I always thought it made sense.

Trump spinmasters on TV actually make me visibly angry. This never happened with Romney or McCain toadies.

 

[metalslimer]

Good lord that Trump supporter reel on CNN.

Have they ever done a Lewandowski, Kayleigh, and Lord panel? It might be a good thing as the resulting black hole would destroy Cnn

So I was at a multi billion dollar global healthcare company all day today. How much was the manafort story in the news?

Aside from people who already believe a bunch of the demonstrably false rhetoric the Trump campaign use, I don't think they're doing anything to sway anyone over to voting Trump.

I honestly think that the spin right now, is more like bailing water out of a sinking ship, which the registered GOP rats are fleeing.

How's that for a mixed metaphor?

Angela Rye is my gurl. Get em!

Yeah, she goes all in.

How long until a Trump surrogate (or Trump himself) says that Giuliani meant the 8 years before Obama was born?

Somehow I've managed to enter a level of zen where I can actually listen to them. Also it has the effect of making the usual republican guests so much more pleasant to listen to.

It's because they answer questions in one of two ways:

1. Completely lie
2. Deflect with "But Hillary..."

Somehow I've managed to enter a level of zen where I can actually listen to them. Also it has the effect of making the usual republican guests so much more pleasant to listen to.

It's easier now that they're getting called out by everyone.

Usually the 2nd main story of every segment. Right after Trump's speech today and right before his terrible poll numbers

QFT.

Everything has really changed quite a bit this past week

Are you giving them a personal loan to save their business?

Aww hell yes!

FINISH HIM!

The Manafort story isn't getting as much play as I thought it would. It seems like they don't want to go too far in on it without a lot of evidence. Still, it does some damage

It doesn't seem very consequential at the moment.

Watergate was a slow burn as well.

I'm guessing everyone is delving into the details right now. The smoking gun is there, but they haven't found the shells yet.

I'd imagine that situation is also difficult to explain to the electorate. You have to be aware of the politics involved in Ukraine, what Russia has done in the past year or so (which one of our presidential candidates wasn't even aware of), then Paul Manafort's history, and Trump's policy stance on Russia.

NYT journo with manafort details coming up after these commercials

Katrina Pierson trying to mimic her boss:

She told the Tribune that she misspoke only “.03” percent of the time and pointed to mistakes by Obama and Vice President Joe Biden as evidence that all public speakers make mistakes.

I mean, what?

I love how he kept making sure to mention that Hillary's leads are even bigger now.

He ruins it by doing "now what about Trump?"

Likely not. He's been saying the same stuff all day in every major segment.

Uh oh. FBI is going to give Congress its notes from during Emailary's interrogation. I fully expect them to shrug them off with no fuss at all.

I imagine this is only the tip of the iceberg.

I still think the Russia story has the potential to be the biggest scandal from this election. Everyone's digging, especially since Trump is being about as subtle as a dude with no underwear wearing sweatpants and won't shut the fuck up about Russia.

With Trump's collapse with college educated whites, would you guys say that calling out and shaming people for supporting him, is working? This is usually a reliably Republican demo.

Hhahahhahahahaha

I just woke up my girl

FU

heheh

but also this

“The voters want someone that’s gonna fight back because they are tired of seeing left-wing reporters literally beat Trump supporters into submission into supporting policies they don’t agree with,” Pierson told Fox Business Network. “It just shuts them down and that’s not what they’re seeing in this campaign.”

I think it's that people that are college educated are smart enough to realize that Trump is wholly unqualified and a complete idiot with no actual policy plans.

We included Evan McMullin on our Texas poll and he got 0

A whole week after McMullen first announced. How long have the others been campaigning?

Well Harambe's campaign got suspended 3 months ago and he is still at 2%

I'm at a loss, honestly. Half the shit that's happened since the convention would be laughed off as too unrealistic if it appeared in a work of fiction.

I mean, he could whip it out every time there's a camera on him

I love storytime with Rachel. This Nuclear Football stuff? So. Damn. Good.

 

[Nazgul_Hunter]

She's delivering this Manafort story with such gusto. She's really enjoying it.

The way she's weaved the stories of the day has been great so far. Some of the best writing on her show.

Kathleen Kane is GUILTY. Woof. How mad to you think she is that Katie McGinty stole her life?

@phillydotcom
Jury: Attorney General Kathleen Kane guilty of perjury, obstruction, all other charges. http://bit.ly/2aWI09f

This is Rachel at her best. She's so good at this shit. She's so not good at fair/balanced election night coverage.

Yeah, effortlessly weaving the different stories of today into the a coherent, engaging tapestry

Now they need to find Hillary guilty.

Having a quick glance through this transcript. Weird juxtaposition. Trying to frame this as a Cold War analogue while simultaneously talking about being chums with Russia, mentioned twice in speech.
