As a reader just pointed out, it's been two days and the third YouTube result for "las vegas shooting" is a false flag video with a million+ views.
A day of ups and downs for Google:
Pluses: They annunced a new phone that is a solid, iterative update.
Minuses: They are actively destroying democracy.

Also, punctuation.
But more like a lot of people say they're X, Y or Z, and even believe they are. Without knowing what it means or actually actioning anything, or acting in the opposite of what they label themselves.

Sounds like a reminder
Yeah, I'm hoping this blows up just like TCR did. Klepper's got excellent comedic chops.
an example: http://news.gallup.com/poll/191354/americans-views-socialism-capitalism-little-changed.aspx
Those first 3 things are really popular even though "capitalism" is not!

That article doesn't establish the headline.
In other news, a White House duder wants us to move away from SSNs as identification.
Would be nice to see this happen at some point in our collective lifetimes.

Probably because "capitalism" now tends to imply you aren't allowed to regulate the industries or stop it from devouring itself and all its competition.
"Capitalism" has been invoked in order to defend corporatism, mergers, and monopolies for decades.
YouTube really fucking sucks. They need to block all of this tinfoil hat wearing bullshit. Enough is enough. DO SOMETHING. They can survive without it.@Walldo

Pretty much. They could at least moderate the stuff that pops in the first few pages of popular search terms.

My sister in law was telling my father about this today and how he sould really aware of this stuff.
She's 32 from a rich family that went to a Ivy League university. I'm so disappointed in people.
At least father is laughed at her when he got home

I think one of the less talked about advantages of this is that parties outside of the two-party system are vulnerable to nut jobs and people with no political tact (the "from the river to the sea" people), while established parties mostly run them off. If DSA people join these major parties instead of standing on their own, they'll gain some measure of selectivity that they don't even realize they needed.
The Libertarians clearly need this advice as well (insert link to the guy stripping at the Lib National Convention).

It's so transparently stupid. All gun violence is a conspiracy by Soros to make the REAL gun owners look bad. And I'm sure they think evil Soros wants to take all the guns away to impose his totalitarian dictatorship.
These fucking people have the critical thinking ability of a frog.

Yup, though methinks the DSA probably knows this and hopefully cooler heads prevail or else they'll be largely irrelevant like they were before.

Yeah frankly this article sucks... It reads like some far off removed "objective" anthropologist report that is completely inaccurate.
Also I'm not down with the assumption that if you're in the Sanders camp you're a leftist and if you're not you're a liberal.
Sanders and co and their supporters don't have exclusive rights to being lefties.
And tying that shit in with Glenn Greenwald is just wretched, as if opposing Greenwald means you can't be a lefty.
And this:
This is just insulting.

Alternatively, pundits could say investigators have been putting in countless hours but still don't have anything material on the current POTUS. Pres. Obama wouldn't have handed over the keys of power if there was more to the Russia story that implicates his successor. Additionally, Pres. Obama wouldn't have left advice, attended the inauguration or pretended to be civil while in the same room with Pres. Trump if this narrative was true. Moreover, if Pres. Trump was guilty of something like that, then there's no way he'd be wrapping up his first year as one of the most powerful individuals on Earth. He would've been gone before he was even inaugurated.
It's almost like you have no idea how an investigation works or what the word even means.
Remind me again when the Watergate break-in was, and how long it took those responsible to be held accountable for it?

Northam won't win by that much, but it will be 6-8%
Honestly, that's probably the only way republicans will take the investigations seriously.

My guess is there's some soft Gillespie support there and they either show up on Election Day and it's 53-47 or they don't and the gap widens a bit.
Clinton Country.
This was showing up in the earliest poll showing Northam slightly ahead. Gillespie was winning Rs and Is and it didn't matter.
Also, where's Autodidact for that "moderate darling" song?
edit: Anecdotally, someone I know in NoVA who volunteered for Hillary has been indundated with requests to help. At least locally, they're at work here.

Well at least in 4 years we can nominate a real Democrat. As long as Northam wins.

Has anyone explained why there'd be a false flag massacre during a GOP-GOP-GOP federal government alignment? You'd need a dem supermajority in the senate to get even the tiniest, smallest, dumbest thing passed. We couldn't even agree to terror watch list background checks for fuck sake. Any new rapidfire mod legislation will die, too, and even if it inexplicably got through congress Trump would veto it.
It's the absolute dumbest possible time to pull this kind of conspiracy. Also, fuck YouTube.

Gillespie going full Trump is just a total misread of the state. We rejected the rural/populist candidate in the D 2016 primary, General, 2017 D/R primary, and Trump only hit 35% in the GOP primary.
Why would it suddenly work now? He's trying to "energize the base" when the base won't carry him to a win. The race-bait ads he's running in NoVA are just going to energize the wrong side of the aisle here.

Just a reminder that the last WaPo poll in 13 had McAuliffe up 51-39. You might remember it didn't turn out that way.

Doctor Ralph Northam.

Did we mention he's a doctor?
(This was noticeable in the very first campaign materials, but jesus that # is way higher than I would've thought, even with the crap in DC)
Well, that's why he's winning, probably more so than any "bipartisan" shit.
Again, an outlier, and with some undecided, but, encouraging.

Regardless, if I were running as a Dem I would like those numbers. Especially considering what Trump is up to.

Anecdotal, but my cousin came over to say hi and one of the first things he said was that he didnt "buy it". (referring to the las vegas shooting). He didnt provide context and i didnt ask.
He's not even conservative or a gun owner or anything, for whatever reason conspiracy theories are just very compelling for some people, or the truth is too harsh for them to want to accept.

The little bit that i could stomach to read wasn't claiming government involvement, Hillary just paid the guy to kill those people. Because you know, of course she would, and how could a 64 year old millionaire refuse the money?
Maybe they were joking, its hard to tell with these people.

I wonder how he would react if the media decided to not talk about him and only talk about legislation. Basically, put him in a time out.
My guess is that he would drop the fake news thing so they'd keep saying his name.

At least hes being consistent with his bullshit.He finally watched the press conference on his TiVo.
Not even kidding, YouTube was suggesting more misleading videos than they were legit ones regarding the shooting, including ones that blamed Obama and said the shooter is related to Justice Ginsburg.
This is completely out of hand and infuriating.

I dont think the reporting ever was that Tillerson threatened resigning to Trump directly. What could he verify?
So much to unpack from that...
No verification from him? From the dude that lies about the most objectively true things? Low news and reporting standards? This coming from the dude that tweets about whatever the last thing the trash heap known as Fox News says or that constantly buys into conspiracy theories?
It is impossible for me to take him, his supporters or his party seriously about anything.
