I'm looking forward to the inevitable HBO film about Trump's campaign. That will be hilarious.
Yeah, definitely. I look forward to the part where they explain how they spent more on hats this month than ground operations.

Thanks man. I was actually going to post something about this.
I actually can't do it on Wednesday. And would prefer Labor Day. But if you guys keep it on Wednesday, I can always do the dreaded Auto-draft.
I'm in obviously.

Anywho...I don't understand Trump's latest move appointing a Breitbart executive as the CEO of his campaign. It's seems as if he is doubling down on his divisive rhetoric. Trump is losing minorities, women, and establishment Republicans. Why in the world would he team up with anybody associated with Breitbart? Makes no sense.
They might be the only ones willing to be his campaign manager. Seriously, he is toxic at this point. That's the best reason I can come up with.

Pollux is owning this thread and I love it. He gives no fucks. I love that dude.
LOL, owning the thread.
If by making an utter fool of himself is your definition of owning, then yes he is "owning" this thread.
#875 Re: The Garden » 2016 Presidential Election Thread » 534 weeks ago
I think Pollux is just setting up his inevitable conspiracy theories for when Trump loses. I mean, look at all these polls!
At this point, I just treat him as comic relief. Every poll is wrong but that one that shows Trump in the lead!
His campaign manager is a world of shit today with the news that he received 12 million dollars in illegal funds from Ukraine.

As I suspected a couple of months back, Trump doesn't have a clue of how to run a national campaign or what he's up against with the Clinton machine. What worked in the primary wasn't going to cut it for the General. For instance in Florida Trump currently only has one field office set up. By this point in the game the GOP candidate usually has about a dozen offices in the Sunshine state. Think about how important Florida is, and he's got...one office with three months to go. In the meantime he's been focusing on states he has zero chance in, such as...Connecticut.
I actually wonder where the hell the money he has raised (80 million by last check) has gone. It sure hasn't gone to TV ads or ground ops that's for sure. Some of it I'm sure has gone into his own pockets. For all the crap you guys hurl at Clinton, Trump is FAR worse at this type of stuff. The past week there was a story where the Trump campaign made it really difficult for donors to remove their CC from the website. Basically, unless you canceled your CC it would get charged per month whatever the donation amount was. Clinton (or really any other website) allows you to delete your CC info from their sites.
Oh and the electoral map you have there is probably understating the amount of EV Clinton gets, I bet it is closer to 370.

We (Americans) are a damn laughing stock thanks to this clown. Again, who the hell jokes about this stuff anyway? And yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of his followers didn't see this as a joke and took what he said seriously.
There is no bottom of the barrel with Trump. Just when you think he couldn't do anything stupider, he manages to somehow top himself.

When I just realized Suicide Squad is written and directed by the same person who wrote U-571 my cynicism about it was replaced by pessimism.
Kudos on calling this a pos before hand. I'm not even sure I want to see this for free (brother is offering to treat me and my nephews to this).

He was leading in general match up. Not state polling, which he never has, not even close. We've been through this before. General polls are meaningless. The numbers do not bode well for Trump.
I don't "hope this is over" but I am able to read. Data is very bad, and Trump's mouth is even worse. His party is in full freak out mode, Republicans are jumping ship, refusing to endorse, criticizing him publicly, and many are now voting for Hillary. Even the Koch brothers want nothing to do with him. He's finally hit the tipping point.
He's doing everything he can to weasel out of the debates because he knows he's going to get his ass handed to him.
So yes. I can see that this is a man who is unwilling to take advice. Unwilling to change his behavior. A man who consults solely with...himself. So he will continue this path of destruction until he loses, spectacularly.
His entire campaign staff has given up. Did you read yesterday where the main guy Manfort basically just said fuck it since Trump never listens to his advice anyway? He continues for some reason to continue bashing the Khans.
There is now some chatter about replacing him before the election. And there's still 3 more months till the election. Today Joe Scarbarough said that Trump asked 3 times about why the US can't use nukes.
Just this week alone he has: criticized fire marshalls for no reason, blamed the NFL for scheduling the presidential debates during week 1, got into a verbal war with Paul Ryan. There's probably some stuff that I've missed out on since it's hard to keep track of the dumb shit he does on a daily basis.
#880 Re: The Sunset Strip » Bourne 5 coming out July 29, 2016 » 536 weeks ago
I remember watching the first one...maybe even the second. It was ok...like Mission Impossible(96) on steroids. Haven't watched it since.
I never liked Damon. The media shoved him and Affleck down our throats immediately and continuously until it stuck. I'm not a fan of that type of thing. No one has heard of these guys and then all of a sudden they're on the cover of every entertainment mag for a couple years straight. Piss off. I realize this happens with everyone to an extent but you know what I mean....in some cases it is forced....this is one of those examples.
I have the same thoughts on this as well. I'm pretty sure I've seen the first three. The third one was the best. I've always hated the first one since the leads in the film had ZERO chemistry together. Well that and the driving chase scene was ripped off from Ronin.
The Mission Impossible films series are far better than the Bourne series.
Every time I watch Damon act I get bored. I like a few of his films where he is the lead actor but that's probably because I like the other actors in those films.
