Just a reminder that the Sanders campaign informed the Clinton campaign of the influx of trolls

There seems to be a lot of speculation about Devine and Sanders. Divine may have been up to no good but I seriously doubt Sanders knew what he was up to, otherwise the Sanders campaign would not have informed the Clinton campaign that there seemed to be a lot of troll activity kicking in even as Sanders was campaigning for Hillary.


Snip: On Tuesday, Sanders described one spike in anti-Clinton sentiment that he attributed to the Russian campaign. In September 2016, an aide noticed hundreds of “new names” appearing on pro-Sanders Facebook pages to denigrate Clinton and her candidacy — despite the fact Sanders himself was campaigning on her behalf during that same period.

The influx of social media trolls was alarming enough that the aide approached the Clinton campaign to inform them of the situation, Sanders said.

What would cause the Russians to release the pee tape or whatever they have on him?

Seems to me that once Trump is no longer able to help them, Putin will release whatever they have. I don't know if they will admit they have it but will leak it to American news programs.

However Russia is less popular now than they were before Trump so they may do it out in the open to help clean up their image with Americans and just gut Trump like a fish because I think Putin would enjoy doing that to show he CRUSHED an American President. https://news.gallup.com/poll/1642/russia.aspx

Thoughts?

Norman Goldman said there could be as many as 20 Democratic Presidential Candidates

with tons of women this next round. I have a few favorites but am excited to see who does well in such a wide field. It should be exciting and interesting to watch.

For those of you who don't want to discuss this topic before the midterms. Sorry Just found Goldman's broadcast on the subject interesting.

THE ODDS SUGGEST DONALD TRUMP WILL BE IMPEACHED

Kris Abbott | Tue, Jul 24 2018, 4:40pm

Donald Trump is more likely than not to be impeached during his first term as President of the United States, at least according to oddsmakers. As of Tuesday, Trump is -200 to be impeached by the House of Representatives during his first term in office.

For those who don’t regularly gamble on sports, cards, politics, whether the sun will come up, etc. – here’s a quick tutorial on what -200 odds means: It means you need to bet $200 on “Yes, he will be impeached” in order to make a $100 profit. Interestingly, there is no “No” bet available on this prop.

If you are thinking, "Hey, only $100 on a $200 bet?" - the betting site, in this case Bovada, believes that they are likely to pay this bet, therefore they use negative odds to mitigate some of their risk and put it back on the bettors.

THE HITS KEEP COMING

#CouponingWhileBlack (Again): Dollar General Employee Calls Cops on Black Woman Using Digital Coupon

This ass hole is so repulsive! The lady is a special education teacher, which in my book makes her an angel and she should be treated like an angel.

Like most of us, Madonna Wilburn loves a good deal. That’s partly why she’s an avid couponer. As the social studies and special education teacher told Yahoo Lifestyle, using coupons is a “way of life” for her, and she enjoys the problem-solving and math skills it involves.

So it’s no surprise that when she tried to pay for a $30 purchase at a Dollar General in Buffalo, NY, using the store’s digital coupons, she knew more about how the transaction should go than the cashier who rang her up.

What she wasn’t ready for was #CouponKen (I’m not trying to be funny here, his name is actually Ken) having a fit over her attempt to use the coupons—and calling the cops on her.
