I can only imagine how mentally draining it must be to live in the right wing conspiracy bubble.

Lol, I do get to read Indy's posts when someone quotes him.

On my drive to work today listening to sports talk radio, I heard 3... commercials from an organization called something like Change for America saying a vote for Clinton is a vote for changing the Redskins name. They played a recording of her saying she thinks the name is disrespectful and she'd like it if it were changed. She didn't say she would do anything about it - or even imply that. She just gave her opinion. Then they said shouldn't Hillary Clinton be focusing on more important things.

They thought it was important enough to flood the radio today with adds, but how dare she take 10 seconds to give her opinion.

How stupid does this organization think we are? The answer is... quite stupid. They most likely couldn't give 2 shlts about the Skins name, but they used that as their sole issue in the commercial because they think we're morons. Are we? Probably YES - enough of us are to make that ad worthwhile for them.

Chelsea Clinton allegedly used Clinton Foundation money and other charity resources to pay for her wedding to Marc Mezvinsky, according to emails released Sunday by WikiLeaks. The revelation was made in an email by Doug Band, former top aide to President Bill Clinton, on Jan. 4, 2012.

“The investigation into her getting paid for campaigning, using foundation resources for her wedding and life for a decade, taxes on money from her parents….” Band reportedly wrote to John Podesta, now Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman. “I hope that you will speak to her and end this. Once we go down this road….”

Band’s message is contained in a chain of emails that were hacked from Podesta’s gmail account, and released by WikiLeaks as part of more than 50,000 stolen emails.

I'm guessing those costs were reimbursed. If not, that's about as bad as Trump using his foundation to pay his business fines and to buy a portrait of himself.

From Nate Silver's website:
CLARE MALONE 2:19 PM
A little more detail on the Trump campaign lawsuit in Nevada: According to CNN, Trump’s lawyers filed briefs Monday night asking that early vote ballots cast past the poll’s official polling time not be “co-mingled or interspersed” with other ballots.

To reiterate the law, voters in line at the time a polling place officially closes are still entitled to cast their ballots, so it’s not entirely clear what the Trump team hopes to accomplish.

Per Nevada reporter Jon Ralston, Clark County issued a statement in response to the Trump suit: “The petition from the Trump campaign is a request to have us preserve the records from early voting. This is required by state law, and so it is something we are already doing.”

Morons! The Trump campaign can't be bothered to do a little homework before filing a lawsuit and bullying people for no legitimate reason?!

Corporations in antitrust or similar litigation or administrative action offer legal expenses (the dollar amount spent on lawyers for the case) as evidence of their due diligence. The parallel here would be: "The amount of money we spent on lawyers is proof of their corruption," although also probably, "The amount of money they spent on lawyers is proof of their corruption."

Well today is the true test of the basic stupidity of the American people if Trumpites win flush your nation as the rest of the world laughs. He will turn the USA into another Philippines in leadership quality.

I really enjoy politics. I'm going to really enjoy watching election results into the late night.

Before state results start trickling in, I wanted to post my prediction via the 270 To Win site. Not making a statement about what's a good result or not -- I have friends who are both libreral and conservative. But this is just my best objective forecast for tonight.

Yup, apparently Brazile was worthy to be axed not Blitzer. Probably would have brought too much attention his Trump questions were written/edited by the DNC.

My point was that quoting 1010 WINS on political issues is probably not a good idea. They've proven to have put out a lie into the public discourse.

1010 Wins is the official CBS news radio in New York City. Sounded legit.
