The Stuff Of Your Nightmares

Today's Keith

...and he's pissed, man.

Supply Side Halloween

So, I'll be giving all of the candy to the first 12 or 15 kids who come to the door, trusting they'll take care of all the other kids tomorrow when they get to school.


On Henry Wallace

"The American Fascist would prefer not to use violence. His method is to poison the channels of public information."
--Henry Wallace

Henry Wallace was a rarity in politics - he actually changed his mind on a couple of occasions; when evidence and circumstance required it.


трахать этих русских ублюдков


Chicago Tribune:
Former senior U.S. national security officials are dismayed at Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's repeated refusal to accept the judgment of intelligence professionals that Russia stole files from the Democratic National Committee computers in an effort to influence the U.S. election.
The former officials, who have served presidents in both parties, say they were bewildered when Trump cast doubt on Russia's role after receiving a classified briefing on the subject and again after an unusually blunt statement from U.S. agencies saying they were "confident" that Moscow had orchestrated the attacks.
"It defies logic," retired Gen. Michael Hayden, former director of the CIA and the National Security Agency, said of Trump's pronouncements.
Trump has assured supporters that, if elected, he would surround himself with experts on defense and foreign affairs, where he has little experience. But when it comes to Russia, he has made it clear that he is not listening to intelligence officials, the former officials said.
--and--

 Miami Herald:
Roger Stone, a self-described master of the political dark arts and the longtime ally of Donald Trump, admits he has had “back-channel communications” with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange over the release of thousands of emails stolen from the Hillary Clinton campaign.
Stone, however, said he was not provided the hacked material in advance nor was he involved in the timing of their release.
“I do have a back-channel communication with Assange, because we have a good mutual friend,” Stone told CBS4 News Wednesday evening. “That friend travels back and forth from the United States to London and we talk. I had dinner with him last Monday.”
Like they say, maybe it's not a fire - just lots and lots and lots of really heavy smoke.

And btw - at this point, even though the contents of the emails could be the biggest horriblest thing since The Donnie and Marie Show, they mean practically nothing compared with the really big horribleness of the rat-fuck process that brought them to light.  And maybe that could eventually become the silver lining in this monstrous cloud of shit.

Happy Halloween

Campaign Song

It's History-Makin'

And Now This

A Trump supporter - showing his true colors as a racist asshole (surprise surprise) - hanged a coupla black mannequins from a tree out by his yard sign, claiming it was "just a Halloween thing".

Somehow, I doubt that last bit.


This shit right here is why the emails don't really matter right now, and why it matters a lot more that the acting Director of the FBI is basically rat-fucking for the GOP. Priorities.

And the first priority has to be stomping this shit into the dust.
