Just imagine how much safer the situation would've been, if everybody in the room had a gun.

President Obama: "Imagine If..."
"Im a proud Democrat -- but if we had nominated someone who acts like Trump has -- I would have said sorry, I cant support this person."
"Imagine if in 2008 I had said any of the things that this man said. Just imagine it. Imagine if I behaved in the way this man behaves"
"Imagine what Republicans wouldve said. Imagine what the press wouldve said"
But now we act like, I guess this is normal. As if its some parody; says cant tell difference between sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live and "whats actually happening" in the 2016 election

George Takei: "How beautiful it is....."
How beautiful it is to see Latinos whom Trump denigrated and dehumanized turning out in force to drive him to defeat. #HastaLaVistaBigBabyhttps://twitter.com/GeorgeTakei/status/795005542959894528

Pope Francis gives the closing argument. Gee. Who could he possibly be talking about?

By now, we've all had discussions with relatives, friends, co-workers, Facebook fucknuts, all of whom have told us with the same glazed eyes or barely coherent comment threads that they want Trump to shake things up or some such nonsense, usually followed by how Hillary Clinton is a criminal, and if you try to point out that Clinton has never been charged with anything after all of the investigations of her while Trump has had to pay fines because he broke the law and has more lawsuits coming, they won't care. They won't care about the Russia ties. They won't care about the FBI's fuckery. They won't care. You are a fool to talk to them about it anymore. They are lost in a shit-tide that they want to be a shit-wave that covers the entire nation in shit.
So my final words to them are this: You are wrong. Everything you believe is wrong. It isn't just that it conflicts with my ideology. It's that you are factually, demonstrably wrong, about Hillary Clinton, about Barack Obama, about Donald Trump, and your candidate consistently, flagrantly lies. He is utter shit. The fact that you don't care about this makes you shit. You should be whipped out of the public sphere like vermin-infested dogs until you only occupy the hinterlands and can live in your compounds of shit. The rest of us are done with you.
I am going into this election with my eyes wide open to my candidate's flaws. That makes me more honorable than the lot of you combined. So take your pathetic hatred of everything that has helped America progress and fuck yourself with it.
Adios, motherfuckers. The country is about to tell you to fuck off. And when next Tuesday is over, crawl back to your deplorable lives, eat shit, and disappear.
Adios, motherfuckers.

Thank you for helping to save America from fascism.
If you weren't on twitter (or in Las Vegas) last night you didn't get to experience this beautiful sight: thousands and thousands of Latinos lining up to vote on the last night of early voting. They had to keep the polling place open until 10 to accommodate them all:
...............
As an exclamation point to a historic night in Nevada, in which Clinton essentially locked up the state and Hispanics, insulted all cycle by Trump, streamed into the market, here is what the final Cardenas numbers showed (tallied by an on-the-ground activist):
So Cardenas was responsible for adding 1,000 to the Democratic lead.
Trump has almost no path to the presidency without Nevada. He can say whatever he wants in Reno on Saturday and boost rural turnout a lot, but he made his own bed when he announced his candidacy.
............
Look at all those Latinos standing in the line in that picture. They know what the stakes are. The election of Trump will say that they and their culture are unwelcome in this country. And they are Americans.
