I'm going to miss Manafort. No other political figure does such a great impression of Duke from Doonesbury.
And to post today's obligatory weird news to this thread, let's relate the fact that Donald Trump helped the storm relief effort in Louisiana by distributing Play-Doh at a photo op. -- ∇×V

The thought that the Russians under Putin are:
1. Not only did they hack into the DNC and then release damaging info. The possibility that the info is going to be "edited" for the worse possible slant. 2. That they will hack into the voting machines. I am surprised that no surrogates had raised the issue that the Putin is angling for a Trump resident. Assuming the polls hold, the question coming up is not whether HRC will win but by how big? Still plan to vote though. __________________ Into terror!, Into valour! Charge ahead! No!

If you do nothing, you get the status quo.
If you do something illegal, you get a jail sentence. Voting is the only other thing on the option list that might be effective, as far as I can tell... -- Rob Kelk "Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose them.

I've always felt there should be a "none of the above" option on all voting papers (as in Brewster's Millions IIRC). As for the 2016 vote, certainly on this side of the atlantic, its the first time I seen a story talking about not having a vote at all.

Honestly, I wonder what a "None of the above" vote could result in. The elimination of all candidates and a reboot of the election with new candidates?

My guess would be that "none of the above" would let the Electoral College choose anyone who is eligible to become President, except for the people whose names appeared on the ballot.

And did any watch or read Trump's speech in Phoenix:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/pow ... ge%2Fstory He just lost whatever Hispanic support he has. Heck, any minority support he has. So all those who plan to vote for Trump, do you want to raise your hands? __________________ Into terror!, Into valour! Charge ahead! No!

.... I'm starting to wonder if his strategy is to be so outlandish that opposing voters don't even bother to vote at all, believing this to be such a one-sided affair.
If so, I worry sometimes he might be right. Refuge in Audacity not only works on TV, it works in real life, too.
If the Electoral College fails to select a President, the election is then thrown to the House of Representatives, which would be a right charlie foxtrot. And I do mean right, because Pelosi and Hoyer are very very good at whipping votes in a way the Republicans can't match.
Back on the news part of it, Trump went to Mexico to meet with El Presidente de México. He was told that Mexico would never pay for the wall right off the bat. Then that night, he gave his "major immigration speech", which supposedly was going to shift to the center on immigration. What we got? More "Mexico will pay for the wall, 100%", and this headline: Donald Trump breathes fire in immigration speech. He's the first candidate in recent memory to call for additional limits on legal immigration. His call for a deportation force has been renewed, and I assume they'll get their own special shirt color. And he's promised to cut off all federal funding to San Francisco and other "sanctuary cities". This is shaping up to be a watershed election, a choice between 4 years of mediocrity or 100 years of darkness. If Trump wins, I think I'm going to start advocating that California should leave the Union. Save everyone that we can while there's still time. Maybe even let the USN lease San Diego from us. We wouldn't even have to change the flag. I'd rather live in a Jerry Brown hegemony than a racist dystopia. I mean for Christ's sake, would it have been that hard to vote for Jeb, people? He seems like a nice guy. -- ∇×V
Garrison Keillor very politely eviscerates Trump in an opinion piece for the Chicago Tribune.

I haven't had time to read this yet - it's very long.

I had to stop after the first section.
The problem that the French are having? We have it too. The thing is, though, is that ISIS just provides a convenient outlet for it. And even with our restrictions on immigration, we're starting to get the same thing here. How long is it going to take people to realize that ISIS and the Taliban no more represent Islam than the Ku Klux Klan represents Christianity?
Alas, there are a few people who do not want to realize that.
