Did Trump talk about bodily fluids? Seems like a joke but hell you never know.

Kind of a fun read about how a Southern carpetbagger is buying a Congressional seat in the North.

One reporter asked him where he’d lived before moving to Indiana; “I’ll have to go back,” Hollingsworth*said, speaking about his own life, “and check the record.” Pressed on when exactly he moved to Indiana, he finally answered with early summer. Another reporter tried to clarify whether that meant June or July. “I think that’s a good characterization,” Hollingsworth*said.

Voting in Washington state is super easy and I'm not sure why more states don't do it this way

Murder the President?

It would be unethical to not do that should such a situation arise, right? Preventing nuclear holocaust is probably worth getting executed for.

lol. Dude is still calling for the death penalty on five innocent men, who were completely exonerated by DNA evidence and the confession of the actual perpetrator. He has zero regard for human life. He will justify nuking innocents in Iran by saying they are all responsible for creating terrorists. ~50% of the country will celebrate.

He's just clicking over the default colors on 270ToWin.com. He's not actually projecting margins of victory with his shade choices.

Of course they'll stop allowing circuit and appellate court nominees a hearing as well

Imagine if Ted Cruz was the Republican nominee and, after losing the election, made a series of strategic challenges in friendly states/circuits

Gotta elect him to find out what he'd be willing to do. Who knows, maybe he could even be reasoned with!

Roy Cohn, Trump's consigliore and mentor as a younger man, was a Bircher.

Disobey and not nuke the 5 cities? What's the answer damnit!? I mean, it sounds like your question is set up to be answered "that's right. they nuke it all. here ended the lesson."

LOL. This dope is angry at the lamestream media for not reporting about a 300K Trump rally in Philly. Only problem, it's a Cubs rally in Chicago. #Deplorables

The answer is we don't know the answer. And that's why he's so dangerous.

There was a good DVaut post recently about how people need to stop expecting some nebulous authority figure or entity to show up and put a stop to TRUMP. "The Military" in your post fits that description. I think we need to operate under the assumption that if the President gave an order, they'd follow it.

Not sure what the Birch Society is up to these days but I highly doubt they would be on the Trump Train. One of there core beliefs post break up of USSR is that the new Russia is just another incarnation of the old communist system bent on weakening and ultimately destroying the West. If anything JBS should be looking at the wholesale capitulation of the Trump campaign to Putin as a sign that they are right.
