Nothing will come of it, though.  They'll "investigate," Trump's people will lie (and blame it on Hillary/Obama), they'll determine no further action need be taken, and we will have to draw a new line for Trump to cross (which he will - and in record time).  

 

At this point, Trump could literally gun down someone in cold blood, and we STILL would have to question why he hasn't been forced out of the election.

At this point, there is no way to force Trump out of the race other than him stepping out voluntarily. Even if the Republican Party wanted to take the nomination from him, it would only be ceremonial. He'd still have the Republican line on the ballot. You can't force anyone out of an election when they have been chosen by voters.

Seems like CNN focused on new Clinton emails (are these the one from the DNC server?) that raise questions about her finances. Also, that guy scaling the Trump Tower. But what's up with her finances? Is that somehow more important than Trump's taxes? Or you know what Trump said yesterday? Could you imagine if Hillary said something like that?

Meet the new "NASCAR dads" and "soccer moms," and they seem as stupid and ill-informed as you'd expect (complete with "have a beer with").

I saw in a Youtube comments section (where else) that people were trying to claim Hillary was having Bernie booster killed (Vince Foster is so passe I guess), and apparently that sleazy man is behind this too:

Today in Trump: Obama is the founder of ISIS!

 

 

 

Also in the Shît You Can't Make Up Department: While ranting that Hillary 'knew' Omar Mateen's father was at a recent Clinton campaign event because campaigns always know who's seated, Trump had a guest at his own rally - disgraced congressman Mark Foley.

If you are a republican I can see wanting him to step aside, but for everyone else it is becoming more obvious every day Trump is wrecking the party.  Let him.   Assuming all these polls are honest, she was just as disliked as he was and yet she is still up 10 pts.  Let him go on his merry way.  You can almost believe the conspiracy theory Joe Scarborough floated a week or so back that Bill Clinton called his friend Donald Trump and said  <cue Darrell Hammond accent> "I have an idea..."  

I think that would be incredibly funny if true, but while that would be the Clintons' ultimate revenge on the GOP I can't see Trump going for that.    I don't think the republicans have a chance in hell since he picked a fight with that war dad.    That guy was like the guy who took down McCarthy.

Trump is still hanging on to his claim that Obama founded ISIS. I'm kind of loving this. I feel like he's finally turned a corner where people aren't genuinely surprised anymore by his raving. The press has pretty much taken to treating him like Otis from The Andy Griffith Show.

 

He's already preparing his sorry followers for his inevitable loss. From NPR:

"All I do is tell the truth. And if at the end of 90 days, I've fallen short because I'm somewhat politically (incorrect) even though I'm supposed to be the smart one and even though I'm supposed to have a lot of good ideas, it's OK." He added, "I go back to a very good way of life."

    • I don't think Lois the character was there.  The Lois we knew from the 90s has pretty much died with this  Gio story crap.
    • Have to agree re MM. The goody two shoes character and writing doesn't help but maybe a more dynamic actor would help Brandon lift his game also. I found the song sequence a little OTT. First of all it should have been shorter and maybe the song fades out and just some music to accompany the montage. I think it would have worked better if Anita had have been alone after everyone left and started tinkling leading into the song, with Vernon coming in observing and then joining her for  a close moment. Everyone standing around felt a little too much. And that closing effect with the two blackscreens meeting was unnecessary. Just a fade out would have been enough.
    • HUGE THANK YOU FOR 1998-1999 EPISODES!!!

    • And sadly I think that’s the trivia Both Jeanne Cooper and Eric Braeden went with for years and years. Lol
    • But people were hating so bad on amc and the final year and the ratings sucked. Business wise they made the right call. Oltl who even gained some ratings back and weren’t they higher as GH at one point is a decision and never understood. 
    • Ann Williams was the first Maggie Powers on The Doctors but left to have a baby. Maggie was successfully recast so Ann picked up the role of Eunice (Jo's sister on Search for Tomorrow) and played that role for 10 years before being killed of in 1976. That led to her role of Margo on EON.
    • Looking at those totals it seems most contract actors are on a 1 or 2 week average guarantee. I assume contracts are still operating on 13 week cycles so you would have to know the particular actors contract starting date to work out their guarantee. The question remains as to what actors listed as contract are actually recurring? Bryton ?
    • Yep, that scene was at the conclusion of the Derek Thurston vs George Packard storyline, when Kay decided neither of them should run Chancellor.  By the time she put Victor in charge, Victor had been on the show for months & months with his Rolls Royce, his ranch, and Newman Enterprises.  SONY released some Y&R "trivia cards" in the late 1980s, and one of the questions was "who brought Victor Newman to Genoa City?" The answer on the back of the card is "Kay Thurston, to run Chancellor Industries", and it's a wrong answer lol.    
    • I think someone said it did exist, but I can't remember.
    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
