The media is setting up a "Trump Bounces Back in 2nd Debate" narrative

I mean he has had yet another horrible week but watch...if he doesn't interrupt more than 10 tiimes and kind of stays coherent the narrative is gonna be that he either won, drew even, or "bounced back" even though he will still have lost because with no teleprompter or notes Hillary will run fucking circles around him again in the 2nd debate, and put the cherry on top in the 3rd debate. But you know these mothersuckas still need to keep it close til the very end.

All police forces should be MANDATED to link with mental health centers to teach proper response

I'm sick and tired of hearing about these trigger ass happy cops responding to citizens who are mentally ill and finding out that they are not trained for it. In Baltimore, police are trained by a local mental health crisis response center. Its called BEST (Behavioral Emergency Services Team) training. They are specifically dispatched to locales where there is a citizen who is having a mental health crisis and needs to be EP'd, not fucking killed. I'm so damned sick of hearing about these cases where so many police officers have no idea how to respond to these situations and I blame policy makers who don't make it so. This is ridiculous.

Interesting look at the RNC Ground Game Operation on With All Due Respect

That was actually quite impressive. Seems as though the ground game isn't as bad as it had been reported to be. Republicans seem to be learning after getting trounced by Obama in 08 and 12. They seem to have improved by leaps and bounds for sure. I know the Hillary ground game is on point. Once again, rallies and yard signs and bumper stickers don't necessarily mean much. It did mean something for Obama because he was the candidate with the rallies and yard signs and bumper stickers and won. But Bernie had all of that this year and didn't win so...will be interesting to see how much Republicans have improved. Hopefully not too much.

"Let Me Remind You Fuckers Who I Am" by Hillary Clinton

Let Me Remind You Fuckers Who I Am (Parody)
by Hillary Clinton
What the fuck is your problem, America?? I’m Hillary goddamn Clinton. I’m a political prodigy, have been since I was 16. I have an insane network of powerful friends. I’m willing to spend the next eight years catching shit on all sides, all so I can fix this fucking country for you. And all you little bitches need to do is get off your asses one goddamn day in November. “Oh but what about your eeeemaaaaillls???” Shut the fuck up. Seriously, shut the fuck up and listen for one fucking second.

Here’s all you need to know about me:

In 1992, I said I was proud to have followed my career instead of baking cookies. The GOP fucking dragged me for it. They made me bake cookies. They’re scared of me. Every time I have a job, y’all love me. Every time I run for anything, the GOP breaks out the big guns again and fucks me up good. And apparently it fucking works.

But you know what? I don’t fucking care. If I gave two shits about the haters I would’ve dropped the game decades ago.
You know why I keep fighting? Because we all want the same shit. We want economic and racial justice, we want to seriously attack climate change, we want everyone to be able to afford college and health care and housing and food, we want women to be treated like humans, yada yada yada. And I’m the only person in this goddamn country who knows how to do it.
Because of course I do. Because I’ve been preparing my whole fucking life for this job. So stop making me dab on Ellen and just give me a fucking chance already.

If it seems like I have contempt for the American voter, it’s because I do. Frankly, most of you are fucking stupid. Most of you have no goddamn idea what it takes to run a country. I mean god damn, almost half of you think God created the Earth 10,000 years ago!What the actual fuck???? Look, this is the big leagues. If you think any problem has a tweetable solution, you’re just wrong. If you think “border wall” or “muslims = bad” is gonna solve our problems, I don’t have time for your shit.

This is literally why we have a representative government. I know you don’t want to read long, boring things. So I do it for you, and I ask a bunch of smart people, and we come up with shit that works. Here’s my solution on energy. Here’s my solution on Wall Street. Here’s my solution on jobs. I have fucking binders full of this shit and you know it. I’m so fucking ready, America.

The GOP just spent their entire convention fantasizing about literally imprisoning me. They are terrified. They know what I can do.
I’ve spent my life clawing my way into a system that’s terrified of change. A system that just wants to let rich white dudes be rich white dudes. And holy shit, you guys, I could not have picked a better opponent for my final boss battle.
So lemme sign off with the same Nancy Scheibner poem I quoted back in 1969 (when I gave the commencement speech at my own fucking graduation, btw).

My entrance into the world of so-called “social problems”
Must be with quiet laughter, or not at all.
The hollow men of anger and bitterness
The bountiful ladies of righteous degradation
All must be left to a bygone age.
And the purpose of history is to provide a receptacle
For all those myths and oddments
Which oddly we have acquired
And from which we would become unburdened
To create a newer world
To translate the future into the past.
We have no need of false revolutions
In a world where categories tend to tyrannize our minds
And hang our wills up on narrow pegs.
It is well at every given moment to seek the limits in our lives.
And once those limits are understood
To understand that limitations no longer exist.
Earth could be fair. And you and I must be free
Not to save the world in a glorious crusade
Not to kill ourselves with a nameless gnawing pain
But to practice with all the skill of our being
The art of making possible.
(Flip flop my ass.)

I want to see a break down in race/gender of millenial support for Johnson

So gallup has a poll out today saying that 29% of millenials are behind Johnson. Meanwhile, only 31% are behind Clinton. Since there is so much focus on Trump needing suburban White married women and college educated White women I want to see further breakdown of who represents these millenials who are supporting Johnson. Why do I need to see the breakdown in terms of race and gender? Because I believe these are overwhelmingly White millenials who don't really suffer from a Trump presidency the way people of color will.

David Plouffe saying 100% chance Hillary wins now on MSNBC

Between he and Jim Messina who I consider somewhat deity like when it comes to campaign strategy, I'm confident its all going to come together on election day.

Why is Howard Dean talking about Donald Trump and cocaine?????

Like....really????!!!!! I saw when he tweeted this last night. We don't need Clinton surrogates to get into the gutter about health conspiracies. This is not what we should be talking about. Now yes I saw people on twitter suggesting cocaine but shouldn't be coming from a governor and Clinton surrogate. This is a distraction, and a bad one...whether he's a doctor or not.

Hillary Clinton and the issue of trade

So most people at my debate watch party last night felt as though she needs to refine her answer on trade to be more concise and not like she's dancing around the issue. Even though I've read NAFTA had neither a positive or negative net impact on American jobs, thats not the perception out there and she fully supported it as First Lady. I think that she definitely took a jab on TPP about how she was for it and then against it because she knew it was bad politically, and I do believe that. So does she need to refine her answer on that a bit or was her response to it ok. I still feel she's vulnerable on it within the rust belt states. Thoughts?
