What's to weigh in on? Schilling is a buffoon. Did you hear him trying to defend Donald's "I'll be dating her in 10 years," comment? Holy fuck.

I was mostly kidding, only because Schilling has chud blocked on Twitter. I wish I still voted in MA, so that I could vote against this moron.

Boy... Trump makes a few waves and all the crazy people want to run... Also, shouldn't Rhode Island get a cut of any money raised?

Activist Who Took Credit For Violent Chicago Protests Was On Hillary’s Payroll

Read more: http://dailycaller.com/2016/10/18/activ ... z4NSyMnteU

An activist who bragged about disrupting multiple Donald Trump campaign events in a recent Project Veritas video was on Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign payroll, a search of Federal Election Commission (FEC) records reveals.

In a Veritas video released Monday, filmmaker and provocateur James O’Keefe recounts meeting activist Zulema Rodriguez at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. In the video, Rodriguez takes credit for violent protests in Chicago that forced Trump to cancel a March rally.

A search of FEC records reveals that Rodriguez was paid by the Clinton campaign shortly before she disrupted the Chicago rally. The campaign paid her $1,610.34 as a “payroll” expense, and also gave her a $30 payment that is described only as “phone.”

The payments are both dated Feb. 29, 2016, less than two weeks before the violence in Chicago. Those are the only payments Rodriguez has ever received from the Clinton campaign. It’s not immediately clear what the payment was for, and it’s also unclear whether Rodriguez was really behind the agitation in Chicago or if she was simply making an empty boast.

In the months afterward, Rodriguez was paid handsomely by other political operations. She received a $1,108.97 travel reimbursement from MoveOn.org Political Action in May, and in June she was paid a whopping $17,500 by Stand Up For Ohio PAC as a “political consulting fee.” Stand Up For Ohio PAC is itself heavily funded by MoveOn.

so paying people to incite violence at rallies of political opponents and openly engaging in vote fraud isn't damaging to the democratic process?

is having a media which works as the PR arm of one particular candidate damaging to the democratic process?

is having an electoral process that limits voters' choices to candidates from two corrupt political parties damaging to the democratic process?

Isn't that the same guy who released those Planned Parenthood videos? Looks like he still has the same editors.

I had this thought in the shower this morning, so please bear with me (and hold your vomit until the end): a lot of speculation is flying around about what Trump might do after the election if he loses. There's talk of a "Trump News Network" that he and Roger Ailes could start; he could start an alt-right super PAC; he could just go on speaking tours and rake in the cash; or he might just spend a few months contesting the election results and then disappear into thin air. But not many people have been pondering: could Trump run for President again in 2020? It's not a very difficult scenario to imagine: if Clinton gets elected and (a) the economy either flat lines, slightly recedes, or goes into a deep recession; (b) there's a terrorist attack (or a series of them) carried out by a Syrian refugee; (c) Hillary's choice(s) to fill the Supreme Court start to be the deciding votes in cases that might drive his base mad, and then another justice dies or retires in 2019; or (d) there actually are voting irregularities, even if they're not enough to swing the election one way or another...couldn't you see Trump running on a platform of "I told you so!" in 2020? He's obviously got a floor or 35%-39% of the electorate, so it's not like it'd be inconceivable for him to get through the primary process again--and the likes of Ryan, Rubio, Cruz, and Pence won't have a leg to stand on when it comes to arguing against his campaign, since they've all supported it.

There's certainly modern precedent for something like this when you look at Nixon. I think it's highly unlikely, but certainly possible. Go ahead and vomit now.

How disappointed were you when your Star Wars Trump quotes were ignored a few pages back?

I read it on my phone. I laughed pretty hard. But responding and telling him as such seemed like a chore on the mobile device.

And the "illegal immigrant" voter who turned out to be an American citizen (Gorkowski? Something like that).

And the video a few days/weeks ago where he was prevented from conmitting voter fraud but claimed it a victory anyway because, had he been willing to leave a paper trail that even the most inconsequential of reviews (the type that run all the time) would have revealed and implicated him in, he could have temporarily voted using another living citizen's name.

But if you're moronic trash on the internet his works are always very, very important
