    Wikileaks and the FBI are like Lucy: they keep getting Charlie Brown (the gturners and Ramens of the world) all keyed up and convinced that "this next one will be the smoking gun we've been waiting for!" ... and it always turns into yet another great big nothingburger.

    But Charlie Brown keeps on running after that football. :lol:

    Everybody knows Hillary committed numerous felonies and is getting away with it because of corruption, and nothing but corruption.

    The problem, which you ignore, is that such situations are generally how countries end up with bloody revolutions and civil war. When corrupt elites egregiously violate a people's send of justice and fairness by subverting law enforcement, judges, prosecutors, and elected officials, people take matters into their own hands in a quest for justice and to take down a corrupt system. The elites of course resist this with force, and it's game on.

    If Hillary wins in her rigged election, there will be violence, and lots of it. It won't stop till she's dead.

    you know it's gone on too long when it gets too tedious and repetitive to even click a :facepalm: or whatever when gturner posts something stupid.

    It's just like a white noise generator at this point.

    I'm actually open to the possibility this happens.

    The distinction is that in your (professed) insane worldview, the folks who start killing the non-Trumpites are perfectly justified and if the rest of us had been as insane as you are we wouldn't have provoked you to shoot us.

    And the rest of us are, ya know, actually sane.

    Not necessarily. You'll probably die of sepsis or cholera during one of the sieges or in a refugee column from one of major shifts in the battle lines.

    Would that be the same LA Times that has Trump up by 6?

    Yeah, they have Trump up by 5.6 today.

    What your map says is that they went with "how they feel" based on states' past voting history, recent bowel movements, and other crap.

    Given that they haven't exactly been batting .500 when it comes to Trump, or anyone else in this election, I don't see why any of it should be more trustworthy than anything else they've said.

    Well even with all this stuff this last week I still think Hillary wins. Maybe not by as much as she and others thought but a win is a win. :shrug:

    We have flying killer robots, you have electric scooters and rifles. This is going to be a fairly short and pitiful rebellion.

    Actually, who's this "we"? The military and police would as soon shoot Hillary as obey her.

    That said, the only choice that shocks me there is Ohio. I'd thought the conventional poll-reading wisdom gave that to Trump.

    The LA Times poll has Trump increasing his lead. The LA Times map was written by their usual liberal morons.

    Right now Wikileaks is under a targeted DoS attack. Assange gave Hillary 24 hours to drop out of the race or be destroyed. Looks like she chose destruction.

    By the way, the leak is fantastic.

    The DNC was telling Wolf Blitzer which questions to ask Trump. They did the same with Jake Tapper. Frankly, CNN is probably dead after this one.

    They were discussing their fake groping charges against Trump. Yeah. They're totally burned on that one. They were planning the fake rape charges back in May.

    They talked about Latinos like zoo animals.

    Assange was right. The heavy artillery was saved for the end.

    There was a week long conversation about whether Hillary is a 7, or 8, or maybe a 9 or 10 on the 10-scale of corrupt public servants.

    The most significant impact may be that now the senate and house races (hopefully) won't get much coattails if/when the Corruption Queen wins.

    I'm not a Trump fan, you ignorant child-diddler-enabling little troll.

    So, you're devoid of something to say on point or responsive to the topic, and then wrong when you say something else on a different subject? Pretty lame. : (

    Hey, hey, don't count Ohio out yet. We're really good at disappointing expectations. Not Florida levels of disappointment, but we're capable of, at the very least, These Are The Voyages levels of disappointment.

    all other considerations aside, I mean if Clinton really is Dr. Evil, a DDoS that completely wrecked WikiLeaks for the next 3 days would be unspeakably hilarious.
