Election 2016

Hedge-Fund Money: $48.5 Million for Hillary Clinton, $19,000 for Donald Trump

Political donations from people at hedge funds have vaulted this election, and far more has gone to the Democratic nominee than to the Republican

That's because the Republican nominee will send us into a Greater Depression.

He's marched firmly into true scumbag territory now

Trump also said, “If you look at his wife, she was standing there. She had nothing to say. She probably, maybe she wasn't allowed to have anything to say. You tell me.”

The seeds for a greater depression have already been sown. Scaping goating one individual or party is silly

I'm terrified and appalled. The fucker might just get elected.


There's all these rumours saying if he wins hell immediately withdraw and leave it to Pence.

What a fuckin clusterfuck.

But if he does face charges over mouthing off about details of his first security briefing and the secret base in Saudi Arabia, the US is in a legal limbo.

No they haven't. The U.S. economy is buzzing along well. Inflation is low. Unemployment is low. Leverage is low. 8 years of banks having federal cattle prods up their asses has left their balance sheets about as safe as ever.

The choice here from an economic standpoint is 1) Hillary: several more years of this, until something that is out of our control brings it down; or 2) Trump: immediate meltdown, brought upon "by ourselves", due to the uncertainty he introduces to the stability of international economic relations, NATO, and the faith and full credit of U.S. Treasury bonds.

Less complex than quantum physics, which some of people mentioned in that article can teach (see Jim Simons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Harris_Simons); they understand that if Trump wins, the U.S. economy is going to shit itself in a gigantic bloody diarrhea and it's going to make everything miserable for everybody everywhere.

It's also important to remember that when the economy declines, poor people disproportionately suffer more. Many Sandernistas will have their mommy and daddy's money to fall back on. But there are lower-economic class people in this country that while uneducated and fallible, do not deserve to suffer just because some asshole in a position of power has a self-esteem problem and can't control his potty mouth.

Trump is not equal to Hillary. Resisting him is rational.

I don't think there's much to the "rumors" that Trump would either give up the presidency right away or that he's doing this as a publicity stunt or something like that. I've heard all of these things floated as hypothetical speculation or "fantasy booking"--i.e., someone writing or saying, "Donald Trump is so unpredictable, I could see him..."--and then the next day it's spread around as a "rumor." There was one really weird response he had to a question--I won't be able to find it, but trust me, it happened (see? this is how this shit starts)--as to whether Trump would actually serve as president if he won, and I guess he looked at the reporter, smiled, and said, "We'll see." But he never gives a straight answer to any question, so that'd be making a mountain out of a molehill.

However, the debate stuff is already getting interesting. He already pulled the same stuff in the primaries--"The debates are unfair!"--and started by just whining, but eventually skipped a debate. My question is this though: if Trump backs out of a one-on-one debate, what happens to it? Does Clinton appear and have an interview with the moderator? Does it get completely cancelled? I don't know, but it'd be interesting to see what happens.

I hope it is just Clinton standing silently in front of a podium for 90 minutes

Ha ha wow. I didn't think this was real at first. Even for Trump, I was "eh, that's just a little too trashy to be real. It's probably a Facebook thing."

Saw this on FB. Great example of Hillary getting shit done on a local level.

I thought for a time that Bernie Sanders might be our best option for President. I liked his radical ideas, and I believed, and still believe, that things need to be changed. But then I was reminded that some people speak well and inspire, and others actually show up and get things done. It may not be as inspirational; it may not lead to a slogan or button, but the showing up--consistently and firmly--changes lives.

In February of 2007, when I was working part-time in the bookstore of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I was diagnosed with bladder cancer. I did not have insurance, and I did not have savings. The urologist who diagnosed me sent me to Planned Parenthood, where a female physician mapped out the treatment options for me. I was treated for a time by Planned Parenthood physicians, not the cartoon abortionists or criminals they are often said to be. The doctor at Planned Parenthood put me in touch with an oncologist who, when told of my lack of insurance or funds, treated me as a family member, telling me to remind the billing department and other personnel that I was her family member. Being labeled as such entitled me to discounts on my treatment.

It takes a woman. Or women.

I attempted to pay, as well as I could, the fees for the treatment, but the hospital chose to report me to a collection agency, which began legal action. My physician was startled, and suggested that I contact both the billing department and my senator.

The billing department told me I earned too much money to qualify for Medicaid, but I could apply for financial aid offered by the hospital. However, I was told, the collection process would continue.

I contacted the office of my senator, Hillary Clinton, and within two weeks I was speaking to someone in her office, who, at one point, handed the phone to the senator herself. "You did not enter a credit agreement with that hospital," she told me, "so I cannot fathom why they are pursuing you as if you did. In addition, that hospital is aided by the state of New York and the federal government, so they are way out of line. You need to fight this cancer and get well: You don't have time for this nonsense. Let me look into it."

Within a week, the collection calls ceased, and within a month, Hillary Clinton put me in touch with two organizations offering financial aid to people undergoing cancer treatment. These organizations eliminated half of my debt, and within eighteen months, I had paid the remaining amount, without any collection activity or annoying calls.

I just re-read the letter that Hillary Clinton sent to the hospital (It was Roosevelt, if you must know), and in her indignation, she refers to me as her friend. Not a constituent, but a friend. She prevailed upon the proud history of the hospital and the medical profession to do the right thing, and adjudged the collection activity to have been an "unfortunate mistake or oversight."

On two occasions I received letters from her, and once a phone call. The doctor from Planned Parenthood and the oncologist recommended by that organization continued to treat me at discounted rates. My friends--again female--at the Museum kept my cancer a secret, and probably saved my job.

I am now receiving treatment through insurance made available through the Affordable Care Act, and while I am cancer-free, there are still follow-up procedures that are necessary.

And yet--Hillary Clinton and Planned Parenthood are villainous, despicable, ready for defunding or defeat. I don't understand that, and I don't understand how we have difficulty in choosing our next President or where our donations should go. But that's me.

That's my time with HIllary Clinton. Sorry I looked away for a time. But now you can deal me in.

This may shock you, but I'm actually a time traveler from the future, and I can tell you how Trump will defend this on the Sunday morning talk shows:

"Now, Mr. Trump, over the past few days you've suggested that Mrs. Khan, a Gold Star mother, wasn't allowed to speak at the DNC because she's a Muslim woman, which--"

"I never said that, Chuck."

"Well, you suggested--"

"I didn't say that. All I said was that I wanted to hear here side of the story, and the unfair media twisted it to sound like I was criticizing her. That's sad. If you think what I said was racist, that's in your heart, not mine."

Justin beiber turned down $5 million to play at the RNC. That'll just show you how clueless Trumps campaign really are. Who did they think they were going to win over asking him t play? Fair play to him not doing it though.

Add the Commission on Presidential Debates to the list of people/organizations who have said (in so many words), "Hey, Donald Trump, go fuck yourself."
