Yep. They've now become the same shtick, just on the opposite sides of the spectrum. TYT have become insufferable in the last year or so.

I only posted that stuff since someone posted about the incident occurring, and I thought it would be fair to post the whole story, not just a biased story.
and as for ad hits, all but one of those videos are rehosts (the final link is Breitbart, just to prove Eric Andre was hijacking shit)

Anything related to Breitbart really needs to be read as slanted.

I know, but that doesn't change the fact that Eric Andre interrupted their show. That is the only reason I linked that video.

Boy, it sure was wonderful to see good old Joe Arpaio get up there and show his support for Trump, especially the moment when the crowd all started chanting "Build a wall! Build a wall!"
Somebody just put a fucking bullet in my head.

So this information is going around.
tempus est umbra in mente
hearing Trump almost comically promise to protect "our LGBTQ community" from terrorists... this whole charade has gotten so ludicrous. Yeah, I'm sure Trump cares a lot about gay people, that's why he picked Mike "Max Headroom" Pence to be his VP, who presumably will be handling all the foreign and domestic duties of the presidency, just like how he tried to sell the job to Kasich.
I'm freaked out. The polls are way too close, and the media is doing a shit job of calling Trump out on the barrage of lies. Maybe it's just too much, they can't contain the explosion of bullshit. Ivanka claiming that her father will fight for wage equality, and that he always has in his business, but then you take a quick look at wage discrepancy for female vs male employees on his campaign: bullshit. Police killings are not up 50% in the past year, they're up 8%. Hillary Clinton has not implied, let alone flat out said she "wants to essentially abolish the second amendment," nor did she "invent ISIS." It's kind of hard to pin the blame on her when the group existed before she became secretary of state. I'm not sure if Trump fully understands the role of the presidency, but "public safety" is not handled by the federal government... so make all the promises you want, but you're impotent there.
Maybe the most insidious bullshit is the lame appeal he makes to Bernie Sanders supporters, sharing sympathy with them for how their candidate lost because of a "rigged system." I want to puke in this man's face.
Bite me
The VP is a no nothing job, anyway, unless the President croaks. I kinda believe him re LGBTQ rights especially after this. He only hired Pence to make his campaign look "conservative" since so many Repugs were bitching that Trump isn't a Real Conservative. All those other lies he didn't even invent, he's just repeating the GOP Machine lies that they all love to hear, especially the ones about ISIS being Hillary Clinton's fault etc. They'd blame Hillary Clinton for Jesus' crucifixion if they could pin her down to that timeline. I'm sure Ben Carson could figure out a way.
The media is inventing these polls, too.

On paper, the VP is nothing... but I don't think it's a stretch to infer that Cheney was the "brain" behind the Bush Jr presidency. Kasich claims he was offered the VP position and was told that he'd basically be handling everything.

LOL, well, I would hope so, haha. What's Trump gonna be doing, golfing??
Shit, it woulda been better to have Kasich in there, he's not Jesus Junior like Pence. Pence is only slightly better than fucking CRUZ.
FUCK YOU, KASICH.
I especially hope that 10,000 for every 1 Trump voter votes for Clinton, you shitbag.
tempus est umbra in mente
He'll probably be doing lots of golfing. Depending on who you ask, and whether we're counting trips to Camp David, Bush spent a total of 1024 days on vacation during his two terms. This includes 77 trips (491 days) at his ranch (where he spent a full month on vacation right before 9/11).
So yeah, I'm terrified. It's looking like a reality-tv star real estate tycoon egomaniac sociopath (and his sinister fuckhead running mate) who wants to abolish Roe v Wade, basically halt progress towards combating climate change, and reverse the decision on gay marriage has a good chance at appointing SCOTUS seats.
Everywhere online now I'm seeing idealistic millennial Sanders supporters jumping on the Jill Stein bandwagon. I've never been so stressed out at the wind-up of an election cycle. I'm just sitting here, frantic, waiting for Hillary to announce her running mate.
Please, please, please pick Bernie Sanders.

Yeah the opening bit from that NYTimes article is really something, not only because of how hilarious and strange it is, but because it helps demonstrate how paper thin Trump's vision is, how there's very little substance behind all his talk.
lolOne day this past May, Donald Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., reached out to a senior adviser to Gov. John Kasich of Ohio, who left the presidential race just a few weeks before. As a candidate, Kasich declared in March that Trump was “really not prepared to be president of the United States,” and the following month he took the highly unusual step of coordinating with his rival Senator Ted Cruz in an effort to deny Trump the nomination. But according to the Kasich adviser (who spoke only under the condition that he not be named), Donald Jr. wanted to make him an offer nonetheless: Did he have any interest in being the most powerful vice president in history?
When Kasich’s adviser asked how this would be the case, Donald Jr. explained that his father’s vice president would be in charge of domestic and foreign policy.
Then what, the adviser asked, would Trump be in charge of?
“Making America great again” was the casual reply.
Bite me
HA HAAAAA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAA I can't believe he could say that with a straight face!!Trump: In charge of: "Making America great again."
Oh, please, those people probably aren't even registered to vote.
Are they white people with neck beards? Then who fucking cares. We just have to care about the Latinos and black people actually getting to the pols and annihilating the GOP.
Again.
I still wonder if Clinton is going to pick @Sarah K 's favorite, Cory Booker.
Here are 6 reasons why she is right.

It's the "winter is coming" of the Trump campaign, and it feels sufficiently ominous at this point.
I would love to share your ambivalence, but the numbers are there. They voted in the primaries, and that's unheard of with younger voters.Oh, please, those people probably aren't even registered to vote.
Are they white people with neck beards? Then who fucking cares.
Well, yes... but the polls aren't trustworthy here. You have a mystery vote with Trump... how many people aren't admitting that they secretly can't wait to vote for him. His demagoguery has spoken to the silent bigotry in this country. Racists that used to have to wear a klan hat to anonymously conceal their beliefs. You'll find them anonymously posting their racist shit on forums and youtube comments, but they don't share those beliefs publicly. Now they can just whistle on down to the polls and anonymously vote for Trump, and tell everyone else that they voted for Gary Johnson.We just have to care about the Latinos and black people actually getting to the pols and annihilating the GOP.
Again.
There are a lot of good choices she could make, but the one that would cement her victory and help me release all this stress and worry would be Sanders. Even if it's transparent lip service, it would be absolutely the best move she could make strategically at this point.I still wonder if Clinton is going to pick @Sarah K's favorite, Cory Booker.

I am far too sober to be reading these posts.

I'll drink to that.
Ugh she chose Tim Kaine, blehhhh
At least he's Catholic and not EVANGELICAL (evil laugh)
Anyway, Hillary is from Illinois and she doesn't annoy me nearly enough to WANT TO PUT FUCKING TRUMP INTO OFFICE. PLUS, I WANT A FEMALE PRESIDENT ALREADY FOR FUCK'S SAKE IT'S 2016. CHICKS RULE YEAAAAHHHHHHH.
I don't grok this whole thing about wanting a Deepok Choprah "inspiring" President. Maybe Roosevelt during the Depression needed to hold the country together with the whole "fear itself" thing. But political inspiration is really just propaganda.

They will only move left WHILE Sanders is sharing the spotlight. Now that he is gone though... fuck that they will start pushing right again.
If you want to see Hillary (and Trump) get pushed left, you better hope we get a 3rd party on the debate stage. That's the only way it will be happening now that Sanders is out. Gary Johnson is getting very close to being in the debates, but we need more people to push him up in the polls.

lol Tim Kane.
Progressive get shit on again by Hillary. Guess a ton of Bernie voters will definitely be voting for Greens and Libertarians.
tempus est umbra in mente
And this is the problem. People need to remember that supreme court seats are at stake here! This isn't a time to "protest vote!"
Jill Stein is playing (the shittiest sounding) violin while America burns.
Right now things are dangerous. If you're voting third-party in this election, you're an asshole. If you're Jill Stein, sorry, I hate you now. Now's not the time to play "protest vote" with your parents. You really want a third party? Change the system!!!! Change the goddamn system! Instant Runoff Voting! Push for that, you fucking idiot! Pushing to change the fucked up way our voting process works is way more productive than placing a protest-vote for a candidate you know has no chance of winning
IF you really want to see a third party candidate have a chance, push for a change in our electoral system to respect instant runoff voting. Otherwise, shut the fuck up. You don't know what you're talking about, and you're empowering Trump. Shut up.
Kill us all and elect trump.Or get smart. I'm sorry, I'm just reading too many "yay, I'm voting for Jill!" posts, and my sanity is slipping
Too much smug millennial bullshit for one day. I can't handle it. Kids, you're adorable, but you're wrong, you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about, and I won't say "I told you so." I'll just hate you. And one day, you'll understand.
edit: and just to clarify, this rant is not directed personally at anyone on this board.

I was nobody. Nothing.
Now that's some top notch fiery rhetoric.
slightly offensive but highly effective.
i'm too thin
Trump is such a difficult bug to squash because his supporters view every gaffe as an example of him being a big strong media manipulating powerhouse of no-nonsense ass-kicking. They write off every criticism as coming from a communist/crook/Mexican/anti-American/liberal/MSM shill/"intellectual" no matter the source. He cannot be made to look bad to his devoted followers, no matter what happens.
Trump supporters believe that his opposition is made squarely up of dumb liberals or 'socialist cucks' but this is most assuredly not the case. There is a reason that the ONLY people that support him are those lacking any bit of sanity or even a modicum of intelligence or even just political knowledge. They think this is the normal case of partisan bickering, another repetition of "my candidate can beat up your candidate!" that happens every election year (and usually in-between as well.) But as far as it seems, they couldn't be further from the truth.
There is a reason that anybody who's sane is horrified by the thought of Donald Trump in any position of real substantive power. It's not just liberals thinking this way, it's any reasonable centrist or undecided, and a non-negligible amount of conservatives. Yes, he's running against HILLARY CLINTON, one of the most widely hated establishment professional politicians who's perceived by a high percentage of people as being a corrupt snake, and there's still many people in his 'own' party who would never imagine considering voting for him. This is not your normal dog race.
He kicked off his Presidential campaign with a speech in which he posited that Mexican immigrants are "bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists." This speech being the first of his campaign, obviously and effectively meant to attract a media storm, has framed his campaign in such a way that the most overwhelmingly common criticism of Trump himself is that he's a racist. The problem here is that usually when he's discussing a race or nationality or religion of people he clearly dislikes, he uses plenty of weasel words and attempts at creating plausible deniability. This in turn makes it easy for his supporters to deflect cries of racism as politically correct pansy liberals who are afraid of hearing some cold hard truth, spoken by a man who isn't afraid to say what he's thinking and isn't constrained by the 'system' or the 'Man.'
It's a shame that the go-to criticism against Trump is the racism because, whether he and his campaign are racist or not, it's one of the least troubling things about him. The list of absolutely insane gut-wrenching things Donald Trump has said and done, things that would normally end a campaign if even one of them had occurred, is too long to mention every specific. But I will name a few, just a couple of the ones that I can recall immediately from the top of my head.
Donald Trump thinks we should kill the wives and children of suspected terrorists. When asked what he would do about ISIS he, giving his usual response of almost completely empty platitudes stapled together by the only pudding-like substance he can muster, says we should force the NATO countries to fight them for us. Somehow (?). On the subject of NATO, he seems to think we should put conditions on our obligation to defend other NATO countries against attacks (from Russia specifically) which of course would throw into disarray and chaos the world's politics and lose the United States an unprecedented amount of trust among the world's nations. He believes we should punish women for getting abortions, i.e. doing something perfectly legal.
Donald Trump thinks we should put every Muslim on a literal watch-list and if that's not enough, he thinks we should ban them from entering the country. Now I'm an anti-theist and I'm no fan of the religion of Islam, but let me remind you, in case you've forgotten, that one of America's primary founding principles, one of it's core freedoms, one of it's self-evident truths is... Freedom of religion. See I know ole' Tommy Jefferson and Benny Franklin didn't exactly spell it out in black and white for us, but one can safely assume without necessitating a Supreme Court ruling that this freedom of religion includes the freedom from being banned from the country and the freedom from being put on a fucking watch-list.
Aside from policies for a second, he's a seriously obnoxious crass egotistical douchebag, to be truthful. When he's not talking about wanting to fuck his daughter or mocking disabled people in front of his crowd of jackals, he's assuring America that he has a big dick during a Presidential debate or he's making up catchy nicknames for his political rivals. Because these are all things that mature adults do. There is literally not one shred of evidence in his nearly 40 year career in the public eye (or recollections from others of his private life for that matter) that he actually possesses the ability to act like an adult. Every time he speaks, be it on Twitter, or a talk show, or a Fox News interview, or at the Republican National Convention, there is no change in his tone. He doesn't have a silly side and a serious side. He honestly cannot just 'pull it together.' His only setting is to just say whatever he is thinking with no filter in sight and thus comes across like a crybaby narcissist child.
The issue with Trump supporters is that they're irrevocably brainwashed by this monstrous cult of personality. Again, this is not a normal case of simply being a fan of a politician. His fans are people who have always felt these things - the racist, sexist, fascist ideals - but they've never been able to say it in public before he came along. (Rightfully so, because most of these ideals are not worthy of open, public discourse.) But Trump has come along and started saying what they think and, to them, he exudes this confidence and superiority and patriotism, the likes of which they've never seen before. So naturally they have instantly fallen infinitely deep into drunk love with him, never to fall back out again. That's why they're completely blind to any criticism to them. They view every piece of data that catches Trump in a bald-faced lie and every opinion that disagrees with him on any point the same way - just a sissy commie liberal who doesn't want to Make America Great Again.
There's a reason that every single public figure with any amount of prestige feels the same exact way on this subject. Regardless of political standing, respected and honored journalists, politicians, authors, actors, military members, international leaders, even corporate CEOS. All of these people despise Trump and recognize the imminent danger he poses to American freedom, democracy, economy, and our standing in the world's ranks. The examples I've given above are all proof enough to show you how fascist and anti-America this man is, but I have barely even touched the surface. Don't let his supporters mock you and fool you into thinking the characterizations of being a fascist are exaggerations. The comparisons to Hitler are not exaggerations.
There is a reason that every respected and intelligent public figure, left and right, all hold a unanimous opinion on Donald Trump. There is a reason that there are exactly zero respected and intelligent public figures supporting Trump. Remember this, remember how unifying this man is in our hatred for him. Remember this and do not let him win.
(P.S. I will be AMAZED if a single person gets to the end of this book I've written. Please leave a comment if you read the whole thing just so I know who to thank and know that my time spent typing this out was at least worth something.)
