I am a thing that thinks, i.e., that doubts, affirms, denies, understands some things, is ignorant of many others, wills, and refuses. This thing also imagines and has sensory perceptions; for, as I remarked before, even if the objects of my sensory experience and imagination don’t exist outside me, still sensory perception and imagination themselves, considered simply as mental events, certainly do occur in me. That lists everything that I truly know, or at least everything I have, up to now, discovered that I know.

Donny Hairboy takes the number one spot, as if anyone really thought he wouldn't.
Then again, this isn't anything new.
At the same time, there are those who would disagree with that sentiment.
But it just goes to show that, in fact, practice makes perfect.
That's not to say that others shouldn't get honorable mentions, but Donny is the undisputed king.
Long Live The King!
Donald Trump Is The Hands-down Winner!!!

And the biggest losers of this big circle-jerk are going to be the yellow bastard snakes in the media who are shilling for Hillary. Hell, the New York Times just endorsed her. When Trump wins, all those yellow bastard snakes are going to be put out of business unless they start sucking right-wing cocks, and fast.
Mainstream media, NPR, all you lying yellow bastard snakes and phoney journalism so piss-poor I wouldn't bet a bucket of my own piss for their future. When all the hubub surrounding this election dies down, the people will turn on them next, as if the print media could afford to lose even more subscriptions. I'm rubbing my grubby hands in anticipation of the reckoning like a fly after landing on a steaming pile of dog shit. Heads will roll. The fifth-columnist bastards are very obviously now organs of the deep-state and aren't even bothering to hide it.
Alternately, a third world war or other form of major distraction will be started to keep the existing American power-structure in place.

With all due respect I must point out the legacy mass media seems to be operating under a new model of preaching to the choir / televangelism.
"Everyone's leaving what shall we do" "Well, if we go full on propaganda mode maybe 5% of the population will stay rather than absolutely everyone leaving"
I mean, they're obsolete and going away, and thousands of people losing their jobs are going to try something, anything.
The neocons have the same problem and similar solution; no one pays attention to the new republic anymore, so they gotta do the legacy media version of clickbait.
The world of broadcasting and 1/3 of the population watching each one of three nightly news shows is just dead. Narrowcasting all the way, we'll never see another newscast pull in more than say 3% of the population on average again. Some of the more extremist legacy media is pushing fractions of a percent of the population right now and its only going to get smaller.

I'll just be interested to see if Hillary can stand for 90 minutes.... could be an interesting popcorn night.

There are different kinds of lies.
On the one hand, we have a bullshitter who won't back down. The falsehoods come fast and furious, probably half of them by accident. This isn't good.
On the other hand, we have a very careful and calculating liar. The falsehoods are very clearly 100% self-serving and intentional. This is way worse.

By this metric he won the debate too!
Monday night it was Trump who earned more Pinocchios and Pants on Fire ratings from the fact-checkers. [yahoo.com] Among the remarks of his that did not square with reality, according to PolitiFact: that he opposed the Iraq War from the beginning (false); that Clinton and her campaign started the birther lie (false); that financial disclosure forms are more revealing than tax returns (false); that China has “total control” over North Korea (mostly false); that he pushed NATO toward a sharper focus on terrorism (false); that the Islamic State started on Clinton’s watch (mostly false). The New York Times also found that Trump has, in fact, described climate change as a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese, even though he claimed otherwise onstage.

I find the majority of those to be true.
OTOH, yes indeed, Hillary does support TPP. It's her golden standard.

Long Live The King!
His proper title is God Emperor.
Remember this election is memetic from top to bottom and this is a meme in the fight.
1) The NRX people prefer a monarchy anyway, shout out to my overly academic NRX homies
2) The centipedes on reddit and the /pol/ people want to see themselves as Herbertian Dune Fedaykin, nice nerdy dune book series reference. Also lets face it, if lefties keep physically beating up people at Trump rallies, the population is going to rally behind a newly formed group of attractive strong white men wearing brown shirts and carrying crysknives, not to mix too many metaphors. And quite a few of the future brownshirts are going to be centipedes and /pol/ guys putting on their stillsuits for the first time and coming out of moms basement. Hopefully it won't come to this, but if it does, then I hope the Fedaykin win. Good for them.
3) God triggers the progs, imperialism triggers the progs, Trump himself triggers the progs, its just SJW hamsters exploding forever into eternity.
4) The single party globalist neocon aristocracy which we've been stuck with for some decades is extremely butthurt that this dude is invading the cool kids territory and isn't following the standard playbook, how dare he be declared anything but a failed candidate, etc. The former aristocracy is triggered by recognizing the new aristocracy while the cockroach like neocons scatter out of the light.
5) back before bernie got the nomination stolen from him, back when hillary was dying of parkinsons on stage, referencing a fictional character than lived and reigned for 3000 years triggered them pretty well. Hillary won't make it thru a 9/11 ceremony but the God Emperor will reign for 3000 years, etc etc.
6) Listen carefully to him, he's building a cult of personality like Reagan. Mark my words in 20 years there's gonna be people calling for the God Emperor to be added to Mt Rushmore just like Reagan.
As a memetic warfare weapon, as a minor spell of meme magic, its pretty effective.
On a larger scale, the election is pretty crazy watching 2010s era meme wizards crushing a bunch of legacy hippies who think politics and mass media stopped evolving around the 60s riots. Like watching horse cavalry trying to storm machine gun positions. Even from the winning side, its farcical tragic.
Long live the God Emperor!
