That's from 4chan. Don't wander in there unprotected....

BUT HOW DOES THIS WORK WITH THE TIMECUBE?

The Washington Post has posted a massive collection of documents used by the publisher of a new biography on Trump. I'm sure an interesting tidbit or two will come out of this, but it's a lot of documents.

Trump Jr. retweeted this. Maybe he knows it's fake and is just riling up supporters, or maybe he's this dumb, who knows.

LOL this is nothing more than a reality television show at this point. The movie Idiocracy is looking more prophetic by the year. It's crazy to think we are going to see the fall of the USA within our lifetimes.

Today's a significant day for down-ballot primaries on both sides, with a few interesting races including Rubio, McCain, and Wasserman-Schultz. Nobody's really expecting those candidates to lose, but there's lots of interest in just how close or how comfortably they win.

That would be devastating for Canada and the world. Not quite funny as much as scary

Reminder: She ran Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin's campaign.

Donald Trump's new campaign manager said "rape would not exist" if women and men had equal physical capabilities in a television appearance that has been resurfaced by critics who say Trump has a problem with women.

Kellyanne Conway, who was installed as Trump's campaign manager earlier this month, made the remarks during a panel discussion on PBS' "To the Contrary" in January 2013.

"If we were physiologically -- not mentally, emotionally, professionally -- equal to men, if we were physiologically as strong as men, rape would not exist," Conway said. "You would be able to defend yourself and fight him off."

The panel of women had been discussing women in the military and gender equality in combat. Conway brought up the analogy unprompted, using it as part of a statement about women's physical capabilities in relation to men's.

Seriously, why do people say #### like this...

[Swift]

-It's widely known that Trump voters support building a wall on the border with Mexico to keep undocumented immigrants out of the country. We find that 31% of them also support building a wall along the Atlantic Ocean to keep Muslims from entering the country from the Middle East. 52% are opposed to that idea.

Here comes more of the crazy train:

Former Minnesota Rep. and Donald Trump's evangelical adviser Michele Bachmann said that Donald Trump was "raised up" by God to win in the general election.

“This is one thing I know from the Book of Daniel: the bottom line of the Book of Daniel is this: it teaches us that the most high God lifts up who He will and takes down who he will," she said in an interview with The Brody File that was released on Tuesday.


"I actually supported Ted Cruz. I thought he was fabulous but I also see that at the end of the day God raised up, I believe Donald Trump who was going to be the nominee in this election. I don’t think God sits things out. He’s a sovereign God. Donald Trump became our nominee," Bachmann continued in the interview, which was conducted on Friday.

"I think it’s very likely that in the day that we live in, that Donald Trump is the only individual who could win in a General Election of the seventeen who ran. Maybe I’m wrong, I don’t know but I do know that the Bible is true and that Daniel teaches the most high God which is one of God’s names is the one who lifts up who he will and takes down who He will..."

Bachmann also lauded Trump's advisers who she believes are "solid as a rock" when it comes to upholding orthodox Christian values unlike people surrounding Hillary Clinton.

"If you look at Barack Obama by contrast, if you look at Hillary Clinton by contrast tell me where the strong people of orthodox Christian faith or orthodox Jewish faith who believe that the Bible is true, who believe that God is who He says who He is ... I don't know of any. Maybe [Clinton] has some, but I don't know of any."

Sweet merciful ####. This type of #### is on par with fundamental islam. Talk about pot/kettle.

[KevanGuy]

"Maybe I’m wrong, I don’t know"

She should have stopped there.

[calumniate]

So funny. Yeah God doesn't sit things out.. he builds walls and boats and stuff

[Coach]

By the same logic, everyone American who has died at the hands of another was God's will to be put down?

These people are absolutely ridiculous. I can't believe this type of person still holds any sort of influence in a modern society. Just go live in the woods, shut up and hug your book, we won't take it away from you, we swear.
