So now Wikileaks has started implying that the DNC leaks came from a DNC staffer who was shot a month ago, and that he was murdered by the Clintons. And now one of the Bernie-or-busters in my feed has started posting about it. I just fucking can't anymore.
Yea, the dude was killed 14 days before they released E-mails...
I don't put it past Secretaries of State to order assassinations on their political enemies, but Clinton has proven she's smart enough to not be so sloppy. If she's murdering people we're not gonna find out about it till the 2050s or 2060s.
He wasn't going to take the presidency, and he was already sliding toward a loss, but it was recoverable - but the famous Dean Scream turned that slide into a freefall plummet, and ended his presidential bid for good.
I always wondered if he had owned it with a "Heck, yeah, I screamed! We're talking about making great change! We're talking about the United States of America! I'm excited; my supporters are excited; and we are going to get you excited, too!" sort of statement followed with an SNL or late night comedy bit in which he does the Dean Scream after every sentence, if he would have been forgiven for the ebullience.
Dennis Miller milked that scream for all it was worth as he was morphing from "Snarky Comedian" to "Right-Wing Tool".
So, about Trump hiring Breitbart guys to run his campaign: I think there's a joke about deck chairs and the Titanic in there, but I think the more fitting thing would be if you imagine the Captain instructing his crew to go down into the bowels of the ship and blow another couple holes into the hull.
Honestly it's hard to tell whether or not that is parody. I wanna say they need to fire that guy like yesterday but he does feel representative of the Trump campaign.

One of the pundits I follow said something to the effect of "Replacing the deck chairs with Napalm".
What if this was his real plan all along? Run for president and get a lot of traction. Intentionally make yourself fail and then start a news where you can bitch about corruption and rake in money. Not real corruption, just people you don't like.

Trump comes across more as a guy who makes shit up as he goes. He's always looking to make a quick buck and the get the hell out. Right now, he's basically building a core audience that will eat his shit up and ask for seconds while fleecing them for all they're worth. You can tell, he's not really putting any money (and effort) into a real presidential campaign organization.
Right now, the real focus should be on the Senate. If the Dems can win back the Senate we might have something approaching a (reasonably) functioning government again.

Democrats really have to get their shit together and start voting more in the mid-term elections.
I really need to change my legal address to where I actually live so I don't have to go back home to vote. As apathetic as I feel about the presidential election right now, I know there's still other important shit to vote on that might actually have more of an impact.

Oh, honey...
In other news, Obama took us into Afghanistan.
Also, this:
If you're going to go down, go down in flames.
The last like minute of the video here has an interesting theory, Trump is really orienting to start his own conservative news station.

I posted that video of several noted white nationalists saying in no uncertain terms that Trump was helping their movement.
This person responded that Trump wasn't a racist because Arsinio Hall won his show.
I can't.
