Foxnews
The latest Fox News Electoral Scorecard shows that if she wins all the states considered to be leaning or solidly Democrat, she wins the White House – with 283 electoral votes. She wouldn’t have to win any of the pure toss-ups, which right now are Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, Utah and one Maine district. She could even lose a Democrat-leaning state like Colorado or Wisconsin.

At some stage, the Land of the Free will need a name change. I suggest the DSA...

Disunited States of America... :tea:

A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Hillary Kaine team would survive:
No crisis need ensue should Clinton be impeached or should serious impeachment rumblings ever occur. Clinton herself has ensured this by picking a sound, steady and policy-compatible running mate fully capable of being president at any moment -- possessing precisely the sober presidential temperament, extensive training and cool judgment that Trump himself obviously lacks, as evidenced by his latest rampage.

I voted yesterday. The lines were long at both places I checked.
I was given a year of free milkshakes once. The year passed and I hadn’t bothered to get even one.

Trump hookers now hired for election night. The girls are dressed up as Miss America contestants. They come out from behind the curtain as each state he wins is announced. Alaska hooker flown in from Alaska to be Miss Alaska.

Trump will pick a handful for photo ops and later private quarters.

Brilliant article on Trump and white supremacy.

https://thecorrespondent.com/5575/our-f ... 5-7591b019

I read earlier that police are stepping up security at polling booths because of a supposed Al Qaeda threat. I wonder if this is true, or are they stepping up against Trump supporting militias and don't want to say.

Please don't let this dickhead win. For the sake of decent people everywhere.

I came back just now from a talk by the US-philosopher Lou Marinoff, and he said there is a racial war raging in US that would make Martin Luther weep in his grave, basically, same message as in the article.

As I said many, many pages back; who Trump represents is white middle-America, and what he represents is the self-authorising view of those self-declared 'true Americans' who demand, as a function of their mythologised heritage, a de facto right to define the conditions by which all others should and must live.
