    It won’t matter if Trump loses by 15 million actual votes.  Or loses the electoral college.  He will be in the White House in the weeks and months following the election claiming victory, and will have the full and unconditional support of 100% of Republicans, who will all call his loss “bogus” and “fake.”  And no one will do a thing about it.  Everyone will be standing around wringing their hands a year later trying to figure out “whats the right way to go about this.”  

    We'll be out on our ledge with scotch though.  Kinda looking forward to it.  I expect it to be much like Woody Harrelson in 2012.

    This reminds me of something we looked at last year, but splitting between donors, not candidates.  Since there's just as much power in having a person attached to your campaign (receive messages, signage, synch of social media, etc.) as there is in them donating $100 to you...there is likely a way around the FEC rules about this.  
    If I want to donate $500 to O'Rourke's campaign, and I have 4 friends who also want to give money to his campaign but can't afford to.  With so many peer-to-peer payment platforms out there, you attach one of them to a federal thrift chartered online bank/digital payment platform.  I send each of my four friends $100 (or $103.14, whatever it is with their fee).  They turn around and send $100 (likely through one of the same digital payment platforms that's at the bottom of every campaign page that says 'click here to donate') to the Beto campaign.  Beto now has the $500 I intended to donate to him, AND his campaign now has the information and communication exchange with these other 4 people.  I would think in this day and age of payment systems, that has to be incredibly easy to do.  The campaigns won't get that much more money out of it, but they'll get access to so many more 'donors' who now have 'skin in the game' and are much more likely to stay engaged even if it wasn't truly their money.

    Huge risk of commiting a crime there.

    And?  Crimes?  What are those?  Nothing matters.  Dems worried about crimes.  Pssh.

  3. There were a couple of dozen pages in this thread that were actually normal, but the vast majority is just an absolute shit show.  I've never seen anyone get the trumpkins riled up like AOC does.  Not even Hillary.  It's very telling.

    Keeping most people poor and ignorant is the top 0.01%’s mission statement.  Of course there are a few exceptions, not all billionaires are evil but you don’t become a billionaire by playing by the rules.  They’ve all done some underhanded shit to get there.

    I really don't want to be a conspiracy theorist on this, but it just seems more and more likely every day.  And to the billionaire part, abso-fucking-lutely.  It takes a special type of personality to become a billionaire and a big part of that personality is stepping on people's throats.

    He's gonna get caught in the frenzy eventually and call her a "towelhead" or "sand-nword." The crowd will cheer. He'll deny he said it despite it being on tape. And his approval rating will stay the same or improve. This is america.

    There is a 90%+ chance this actually happens.

    It's actually crazier than it sounds. The original kingdom of Israel must be restored, the temple rebuilt and then Jesus briefly returns to rapture the Christians. The Antichrist shows up and takes over the world and plagues and cataclysm follows. The Antichrist goes crazy after being possessed by Satan and starts cutting people's heads off and marking their foreheads with 666. Israel refuses to bow to the Antichrist and he leads the armies of the world against Israel. Jesus shows up again at the last second and kicks the Antichrist's ass for being a poser. All the Jews convert to Christianity afterwards.

    The end.

    Could be a badass metal video though.

    No. They only respect money, understandably. They get money by getting eyeballs. They get eyeballs by throwing red meat to their viewers, like the scientists feeding cocaine to the hamsters. What did those scientists find out about cocaine? The hamsters couldn't get enough, they'd consume it until they died. CNN/MSNBC/FOX have run the same experiment and discovered the same results.  Viewers don't want boring news about stuff that actually affects their lives and the lives of others, they want those endorphins that are released when their team scores a touchdown. They want that red/blue team victory. TRUMP TWEETED SOMETHING TERRIBLE, HE'S BAD. A PROFESSOR IN VERMONT SAYS GUNS SHOULD BE ILLIGAL. BLA BLAH. Politics in our country has turned into a full fledged bloodsport and our "news" stations are akin to the Longhorn and SEC Networks. 

    This is very true.  However, you should have the caveat that only one actually completely makes shit up to feed its base.  The others at least start with facts and then just beat them to death with opinions.

    Since they became beholden to white evangelicals. They don't give a damn about Israel or the people who live there. They only want to bring about the rapture.

    With an added bonus of claiming this as some sort of shield and excuse for their racism. "See we can't be racist. No one loves Jews more than us."

    This is some insane shit.  Is this what they really believe?  They have to support Israel in order to bring about the rapture?
