This is for you Trump voters.

My thoughts on election outcomes

1) Hillary wins and life remains largely the same as it is now. The crony merry-go-round keeps spinning. There's a few reports of voting fraud but media is dominated by the optimistic narrative that women are now in power and the USA triumphed over evil Donald Trump and the 'Good' power justly won.

2) Hillary is finally torpedoed by a scandal that is so obvious and glaring that not even the media can run defense for her. It's so incredibly vulgar and apparent there is simply no excuse and she is incarcerated for treason. Trump wins by default.

3) Hillary and Trump make it to election day. The polls had been heavily fixed months before the election and Trump actually pulls through on election day as his supporters reliably show up and cast ballots. Hillary supporters stay at home and watch The View.

Another thought


After all this talk about 'The elections are rigged' 'The elections are NOT rigged!'

Why don't they run a story about how elections are certified to be fair? What processes are in place to monitor ballots/voting machines/personnel/record keeping/counting and how are those results certified and redundantly checked by non-partisan persons?

Why don't they run COMPLETE coverage of speeches? They always take a 1 hour Trump speech, crop 5 seconds of it, then talk about it for a whole month. Just run the fucking speech. But they can't do that. They have to interpret what Trump is saying and translate it for the American people so that it's deluded and matches the story they're trying to spin.

All they do is get on the air and say some shit pisses them off and the other person is nuts. <<<<<hours of news coverage ea. day. One talking head yelling over the other talking head.



Here is truth in the form of jest.

shit. Tribalwar is head n shoulders above msm news reporting. Not afraid to go places n explore possibilities n get in arguments n keep coming back for more pain n suffering.

Keep it going guys, i love reading your opinions. :D

App maker: Trump will win election

LOS ANGELES — Despite a majority of opinion polls showing the 2016 presidential election going to Democrat Hillary Clinton, a smartphone app developer says his data suggests challenger Donald Trump will be the victor.

“Based on the stats we see, he looks strong,” says Ric Militi, co-founder of San Diego-based Crazy Raccoons, maker of the Zip question and answer app. His app poses questions and polls responses based on an average of 100,000 daily users. “I go with Trump, based on what we see.”

According to the RealClearPolitics average of opinion polls, which are performed by calling people on landlines and cell phones, and answering questions on websites, Clinton leads with 47.8%, to Trump’s 41.0%.

How can Zip’s results be so different?

“We’re not a poll. We’re a conversation, and 100% anonymous,” Militi says. “People feel comfortable answering questions without fear of being bullied or being called a racist. People can express themselves safely, and you get a pure answer.”

[.....]

Some Zip questions:

— ”New polls suggest Trump is getting crushed by Clinton. Do they reflect how you are going to vote?” Some 64% told Zip they would vote for Trump, compared to 36% for Clinton. In the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll, Clinton leads Trump, 42% to 36%.

— ”California, who you voting for?” Trump got 55%, compared to 45% for Clinton. In the latest Public Policy Institute of California poll, Clinton has a 16-point advantage over Trump, 46% to 30%.

— "What do you honestly think Trump meant by saying "The 2nd amendment people can do something about Hillary? Vote against her? 63% Assassinate her 37%”

Militi insists his replies are a cross-section of voters in age, gender and geography. “These are the same results we saw when he (Trump) was in the primaries,” he says. He contends that most media polls are just flat-out wrong and that smartphone answers are the future.

Douglas Rivers, a Stanford University political science professor and chief scientist for YouGov, which conducts online polls with such partners as CBS and the Economist, disagrees. “What do they know about these people?” Rivers says. “We worry a lot about who we’re talking to.”

So either the traditional polls are right or Militi is onto something, with a different way of polling that lets citizens answer more openly. We'll find out on Nov. 8, when voters go to the real polls.
 
Training? Check!
Funding? Check!
Weaponry? Check!
Vocal support? Check!
Physical support? Check!
Blocking others from engaging them? Check!

That's a founding as far as I'm concerned.

That's not to say Bush et al didn't also help to found previous iterations of course, but that goes without saying.

Bush didn't found ISIS either.

ISIS was founded in 2004 by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi (Al-Qaeda in Iraq). AQI turned into ISI (Islamic State in Iraq) in 2006 under Abu Ayyab al-Masri. ISI turned into ISIS in 2013 under Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

Pretending that any president is the founder of a terrorist organization is disingenuous at best.

I'm not sure what kind of response you're looking for, but she said: Donald Trump’s “insulting language towards Muslims is making him the recruiting sergeant for ISIS.”

As far as I can tell, she's not saying he's literally the recruiting sergeant for ISIS, and if you were to ask her about it I'm sure she'd clarify that she didn't mean it literally.
 
does every election cycle involve daily clarifications of the concept of figurative speech or is this a phenomenon we can blame on the growing misuse of the word "literally"

The press suddenly can't figure out when something is a joke, they can't figure out what sarcasm is, and they can't figure out figurative speech. But Trump is literally Hitler, literally!

it's not that they can't figure it out, it's that they don't want to. not sure when it happened but the collective intelligence and emotional state of the electorate and the media has degraded to the point that in the 8 to 12 year old range with much less honesty and integrity.
 
The fact that people are talking about it is how trump gets his message out.

Of course he doesn't think Obama literally founded Isis but he's now got you and the media associating those words together
