Season of the Spin!

Emails reveal how foundation donors got access to Clinton and her close aides at State Dept.

The spin on this is amazing. Thousands more e-mails are discovered and yet, no indictments. Can it be she is innocent? Nah, she's a politician, she guilty of something, but what?

Trump outscores Hitler on psychopath test — guess how Clinton stacked up

Trump often gets compared to Hitler, but there are actually quite a few differences. For one, Hitler actually wrote Mein Kampf himself. Two, Hitler had his own hair. And three, Dr. Kevin Dutton, a psychologist at Oxford University, found that Trump is a bigger psychopath.

Of course, neither Hitler nor Trump, actually took the test (that would have required Trump to pay attention for an extended period of time). And for the record, the American Psychiatric Association has said that it is unethical for mental health professionals to diagnose candidates they have not personally evaluated. So this is more of a parlor game for psychologists. Still, an interesting one.

Dutton found that Hitler scored 169, and Trump scored a 171 on the test, putting them both in the top echelon of all people who have been evaluated by this tool.

As for Clinton? She scored a 152 overall, but the scores that put someone in the top 20 percent are lower for women than for men. And she got the same score as Saddam Hussein for “Machiavellian egocentricity” (ME).

Sweet Bernie Sanders got a 129 overall, and was the only candidate among Trump, Clinton and Ted Cruz to not score in the upper 20 percent for any of the traits.

for the record, the American Psychiatric Association has said that it is unethical for mental health professionals to diagnose candidates they have not personally evaluated.

Yeah but why bring ethics into this, it's an election season!

Trump sees foreign ‘war zones’ as safer than US cities

Donald Trump’s newfound interest in reaching out to African-American voters is off to a bumpy start, but last night in Akron, Ohio, he expanded his message a bit.

Hoping to make the case that the status quo is untenable, the Republican presidential candidate insisted that current crime levels have reached a level “nobody’s seen.” Trump added, “You can go to war zones in countries that we’re fighting and it’s safer than living in some of our inner cities.”

But, Trump said moments later, if he’s elected, all of these concerns will simply go away. From the transcript pulled together by CBS News’ Sopan Deb:

“I will straighten it out. I’ll bring jobs back. We’ll bring spirit back. We’ll get rid of the crime. You’ll be able to walk down the street without getting shot. Right now, you walk down the street, you get shot. Look at the statistics.”

This echoes the themes and fears the Republican nominee emphasized during his convention speech last month, but if one takes the candidate’s advice and “look at the statistics,” it becomes clear that Trump has no idea what he’s talking about.

I’m reminded of an exchange, aired one month ago today, between CNN’s Jake Tapper and then-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort. “Empirically, according to FBI statistics, crime rates have been going down for decades,” Tapper said. “How can Republicans make the argument that, somehow, it’s more dangerous today, when the facts don’t back that up?”

Manafort responded by questioning the reliability of the FBI.

The FBI may be influenced but they are usually correct, unlike Drumpf who is just an asshole.

Donald Trump’s Own Campaign Didn’t Know That He Wasn’t On The Ballot In Minnesota

Donald Trump's presidential campaign is so inept that it didn't even know that the Minnesota Republican Party hadn't filed the proper paperwork to get him on the state's ballot in November.

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign is so inept that it didn’t even know that the Minnesota Republican Party hadn’t filed the proper paperwork to get him on the state’s ballot in November.

National Review reported on the state party missing the deadline to get Trump’s name on the ballot:

“Total confusion among #MNGOP officials on process for Trump being on MN ballot — absolutely possible they could’ve missed deadline,” Brodkorb wrote on Twitter Wednesday evening. A spokesman for the Minnesota Republican party did not respond to an immediate request for comment.

It’s somewhat astonishing that the Trump campaign was not aware that the candidate’s name was not yet on the ballot, and Brodkorb notes that a Trump aide reached out to the Minnesota GOP in the midst of all this and said, essentially, “Fix it!”

Now I'll bet the Donald blames Rince and Repeat's RNC for this fuckup?

Breitbart publishes a fact-check of Hillary's recent speech, but forgets to include any actual facts.

In the US, the anti-Russia campaign has been elevated to virtual reality. The New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, an economist with a Nobel Prize, has called Donald Trump the “Siberian Candidate” because Trump is Putin’s man, he says. Trump had dared to suggest, in a rare lucid moment, that war with Russia might be a bad idea. In fact, he has gone further and removed American arms shipments to Ukraine from the Republican platform. “Wouldn’t it be great if we got along with Russia,” he said.

This is why America’s warmongering liberal establishment hates him. Trump’s racism and ranting demagoguery have nothing to do with it. Bill and Hillary Clinton’s record of racism and extremism can out-trump Trump’s any day. (This week is the 20th anniversary of the Clinton welfare “reform” that launched a war on African-Americans). As for Obama: while American police gun down his fellow African-Americans the great hope in the White House has done nothing to protect them, nothing to relieve their impoverishment, while running four rapacious wars and an assassination campaign without precedent.
