I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump, brags about having “the best people.” In just about any campaign stop he makes, you can bet Trump will drop the line, “I have really good people. I have the best people.”
Well, Chris Hayes of MSNBC took a brief look at some of the “good people, the best people” Trump surrounds himself with.

The present Vice President of the United States told a crowd in Pennsylvania on Friday, that Trump should count his blessings, ’cause if they were both in high school, he would take the Republican presidential nominee “behind the gym!”
“The press always asks me, ‘don’t I wish I were debating him.’ No, I wish we were in high school—I could take him behind the gym. That’s what I wish,” Biden said, via video from ABC News posted by the Daily Beast.
Biden’s remark came after a impassioned condemnation of Trump’s comments — from a 2005 Access Hollywood hot mic tape that resurfaced recently — that his fame allowed him to touch and kiss women without their consent.
“What a disgusting assertion for anyone to make,” Biden said.
Somebody is lying. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has maintained that he knew nothing of the lane closures on the George Washington Bridge, lane closures carried out by his closest administration officials. But testimony after testimony cast more and more doubt on Christie’s claim.
In bombshell testimony Friday, Bridget Anne Kelly said that she told New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) that access lanes to the George Washington Bridge would be closed for a traffic study a month before the plan actually was carried out in September 2013.
The former deputy chief of staff testified that the governor approved the study, which prosecutors allege actually was cover-up for a revenge plot against a local Democratic mayor.
Christie has long maintained that he knew nothing about the lane closures that brought traffic in the town of Fort Lee, New Jersey to a days-long standstill until he read about them in the press in late September or early October 2013. Yet Kelly and other former Christie allies have contradicted what Christie’s said about what he knew of the lane closures and when throughout the federal trial investigating the so-called Bridgegate scheme.
Telling her version of the saga for the first time from the witness stand Friday, Kelly testified that former Port Authority official David Wildstein informed her on Aug. 12, 2013 that he was moving forward with a traffic study that he said would create major traffic problems in Fort Lee, according to WABC. Kelly testified she then informed Christie about the study, and alleged he said he was alright with it.
“He said, ‘All right.’ He didn’t really react. He said that’s fine. He said, ‘How is the relationship with Mayor Sokolich’ of Fort Lee?” Kelly testified, according to Philly.com. “And I didn’t know. I really didn’t know.”
The next day she sent the email that would cast a shadow over Christie’s administration for years to come: “Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee,” she wrote to Wildstein.
Considering the maturity of the man she’s talking about, you can count on this: She will be fired and called a very bad name by the Republican presidential candidate in 3,2,1…

Despite all the other predictions that the Trump-Train will come to a sudden crash on November 8th, there is a college professor in Long Island that says otherwise. In fact, Helmut Norpoth is not only predicting a win for Trump, Helmut is predicting a blowout – a Trump win by a 87 to 99 percentage point.
A SUNY professor continues to project Donald Trump as the likely winner of this year’s election and he’s critiquing polls that predict the opposite in a new opinion piece.
Helmut Norpoth has been predicting a Trump victory since early this year. His model currently projects a win for the Republican with a certainty of 87 to 99 percent.
Norpoth is a professor at Stony Brook University on Long Island.
That flies in the face of just about every other major election forecast out there, which mostly give an edge to Democrat Hillary Clinton, notes the Daily Mail.
Norpoth wrote in The Hill that although the race looks decided, current polling methods are “bunk.”
The projections for Clinton are all based on opinion polls, which are flawed because they don’t reflect actions, Norpoth wrote. They’re about what voters think of Clinton or Trump, but they can’t tell us exactly how voters will act on those thoughts.
Keith Olbermann was the best thing that happen to MSNBC. Videos like this is what made Olbermann a household name. Since his departure from the network, others have tried to fill his shoes, but the void still remains.

A Message to Trump VotersAre you voting for Donald J. Trump? Watch this first.

The Republican presidential candidate said a lot of insane things in final presidential debate last night, but one thing in particular is causing a lot of stress throughout the political world.
The Republican nominee said that he will wait and see how the election turns out before deciding whether to accept the results. That stance, coupled with his recent unfounded conclusion that the election is “rigged” against him, is setting up for an interesting time in November.
Trump’s refusal, which his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton called “horrifying,” was the standout remark of their third and final debate and ratcheted up claims he has made for weeks that the election was rigged against him.
Asked by moderator Chris Wallace whether Trump would not commit to a peaceful transition of power, the businessman-turned-politician replied: “What I’m saying is that I will tell you at the time. I’ll keep you in suspense. Ok?”
Trump’s statement may appeal to his anti-establishment followers, but it was unlikely to reverse opinion polls that show him losing, including in key states that will decide the election.
“That is not the way our democracy works,” Clinton said during the debate. “We’ve been around for 240 years. We’ve had free and fair elections. We’ve accepted the outcomes when we may not have liked them. And that is what must be expected of anyone standing on a debate stage during a general election.”
In 2008 when he was not yet a Republican, Donald Trump had some rather nice things to say about Hillary Clinton. Asked about Hillary’s legacy, Trump had this to say.
“Well, I think her history is far from being over. I’d like to answer that question in another 15 years from now. I think she is going to go down at a minimum as a great senator. I think she is a great wife to a president. And I think Bill Clinton was a great president.”
“You know you look at the country then,” he continued. “The economy was doing great. Look at what happened during the Clinton years. I mean, we had no war, the economy was doing great, everybody was happy. A lot of people hated him because they were jealous as hell. You know people get jealous and they hate you.”

The artist depicted Mrs. Clinton with animal hoofs instead of feet and a Wall Street banker’s head attached to her left breast. The depiction was enough to cause a passerby to angrily pull the statue down, even sitting on it to prevent a man from putting it back up again.

In a press conference in The Rose Garden, President Obama called out Donald Trump for his unfounded criticism of the voting process and for “threatening the peaceful transfer of power.”
“I have never seen in my lifetime, or in modern political history, any presidential candidate trying to discredit the elections and the elections process before votes have even taken place,” the president said. “It’s unprecedented. It happens to be based on no facts.”
The president continued;
“The notion that somehow if Mr. Trump loses Florida it’s because of ‘those people’ that you have to watch out for, is both irresponsible, and by the way, doesn’t really show the kind of leadership and toughness that you’d want out of a president.”
“You start whining before the game’s even over, if whenever things are going badly for you and you lose you start blaming somebody else, then you don’t have what it takes to be in this job.”
“But the larger point that I want to emphasize here is that there is no serious person out there who would suggest somehow that you could even, you could even rig America’s elections, in part because they’re so decentralized, and the numbers of votes involved. There’s no evidence that that has happened in the past, or that there are instances in which that will happen this time.”
“And so, I’d advise Mr. Trump to stop whining and go try and make his case to get votes.”

Republicans have always scare their supporters into buying more guns. It happens whenever there is a mass-shooting and it happens whenever an election is about to happen. They used the fear that “Obama is coming to take your guns” and scared Republicans ran to the gun store in record numbers.
Well, no surprise here, but it’s happening all over again. This time however, Fox News seems to be praising a Las Vegas gun store for using verbiage that basically put Hillary Clinton in the crosshairs. Verbiage like, “taking aim at Hillary.”
The Fox Host began the segment by making this introduction – “All right, get your guns, for cheap.”
Another host, Ainsley Earhardt, elaborated. “A Las Vegas gun shop is taking aim at Hillary Clinton by advertising a pre-Hillary sale warning that gun prices are going to skyrocket once the “crooked” Democratic nominee takes office.”
