2016 Presidential Election Thread

Ramen subscribes to the Charlie Sheen school of politics. He believes if he votes for the Donald and the Donald wins, that makes him a winnah!

If I vote for the popular guy, he'll notice and validate me!

I'm voting Trump because I'll get to go on a lunch date with Ivanka.

ETA: Suck it, losers!

This Democrat's biggest week of the campaign and everybody is talking Trump.

Clinton even just conflated her own emails with national security!

So good.

This was amusing. 4 Ways Donald Trump Is Living Rent-Free In The DNC’s Head

A crime, probably incitement to imminent lawless action (distributing stolen files, if Russia hacked Clinton's server) and probably chargeable as a conspirator under the CFAA, something that should be utterly disqualifying to his being elected president? Yes. But treason? Not even remotely.

Are you insane? Hillary committed multiple crimes on the first day of the DNC convention, including harboring and transporting an unlawful alien. Just encouraging someone to vote for Hillary is probably illegal by your standards. And she's committed so many felonies in the past eight years that we might as well not have laws.

for the first bit, and don't mistake detesting Trump and Clinton as mutually exclusive. I'd be absolutely fine if they shared a jail cell (and so would the country).

Still waiting for Assange's next leak, which "will put Hillary in jail." I think it was supposed to come out yesterday....

She violated 8 USC § 1324 - twice Monday night.

To summarize:

(A)
Any person who —(ii) knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, transports, or moves or attempts to transport or move such alien within the United States by means of transportation or otherwise, in furtherance of such violation of law;

(iii) knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, conceals, harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, such alien in any place, including any building or any means of transportation;

(B)
(i) in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(i) or (v)(I) or in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(ii), (iii), or (iv) in which the offense was done for the purpose of commercial advantage or private financial gain, be fined under title 18, imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both;

(ii) in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(ii), (iii), (iv), or (v)(II), be fined under title 18, imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both;​

That's twenty more years to add to the 14,000 year sentence she should be serving in federal prison.

But laws don't apply to her.

What did she do Monday night? I'm not watching it and I don't see a link in this thread about it.

Unless you think the illegal aliens speaking at the DNC convention paid for their own air fare, Hillary was knowingly transporting illegal aliens in violation of 8 USC § 1324 - which carries a penalty of 5 to 10 years in prison.

But what the hell. Just about every day she violates laws that carry 10 year prison terms. That's why both Bernie and Trump supporters keep chanting "lock her up!"

Were you crying when you wrote that?

Media won't ask Chelsea Clinton about her father's treatment of women

PHILADELPHIA — Ivanka Trump, daughter of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, is constantly asked about her father's treatment of and statements about women. The same cannot be said of Chelsea Clinton, daughter of former President Bill Clinton and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

Ivanka has been grilled by CBS, criticized by the Atlantic and asked by many more outlets to defend her father. On Wednesday, CBS published an article about Chelsea calling on Ivanka to ask her father about equal pay.

Here's an article you won't see from the mainstream media: Chelsea Clinton being asked to defend her father's treatment of women, including accusations against him of rape.​

The press doesn't even get a chance to ask Hillary about it because she hasn't held a press conference this year. She can't because if Fox News got to ask a question her campaign would collapse.

Why do you think Clinton would have been the one paying their* airfare? Surely at the closest it would have been Hillary for America, and more probably the DNC.

*from context, it sounds like there were illegal aliens speaking at the convention, but that's just context because no one's posted a link about it that I can see.

Yes, there were illegal aliens speaking at the convention, telling how they met with Hillary and how moved she was by their plight, blah blah blah. One also told the story of how she crossed the Rio Grande on a raft.

I think this is going to make Dayton cry:

But Randy Quaid is backing Trump. He was a Berniebot but that didn't work out.

Apart from her speech, how much media attention is Melanoa getting?

They just dropped, it seems.

Voicemails? Sometimes I want to get off the grid entirely.

I hate voice mail, this leak is astonishingly not what he claimed it would be.

I'm definitely disappointed.

It seems to be the rapist latest grab for fame and relevancy. Twerp.

I liked this one:

"I'm furious about what you're doing for Bernie Sanders! He's getting way too much influence. I'm on a fixed income and I spent over $300 dollars donated to Hillary, and what I see is the DNC bending over backwards for Bernie, and Bernie is the worst person in the world to even be running in the Democratic Party because he's not a Democrat. Please. Don't give in to him. I don't care about Sanders supporters. Most of them are going to vote for Hillary anyway. Quit acquiescing to this person who likes to play the victim card, and who also has been attacking Hillary which gives Trump all his talking points. I will leave the Democratic Party if the Democratic Party continues to coddle Bernie Sanders. Get rid of the asshole!"​

The associated e-mail was "Someone get past the front desk?!"

Bernie Sanders leaves the Democratic Party

They barely got to know him! It's like he only joined for the primaries or something.

That's awesome -- crank leaves crazy voice mall, people scream RAMPANT CORRUPTON!!!!!

Seriously, Rapy Asange has lost it.

Was he ever a Democrat?

Yeah, from Iowa to day 3 of the convention.
