I picked a hell of a time to have a family vacation to the Tampa area... if I don't make it back avenge my death.

I don't think so, markets hate uncertainty and Trump is the human embodiment of uncertainty, HE doesn't even know what he wants or will do. You can't hedge against policy made up with a dartboard.

Meanwhile Aussies laugh while people boycott Starbucks for coming out with a cup that tries to promote unity over diversity.

Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz called “a divisive time in our country” and said in a statement that the coffee giant wanted to come up with a symbol to serve “as a reminder of our shared values”.

...

The green cup’s overtly political message and the timing of its release were quickly criticised by supporters of the Republican presidential nominee, with some users online threatening a boycott over “political brainwashing” and “liberal bias”.

And vote before succumbing to the outraged crowds, in Florida your vote could swing the whole state!

So I guess I pinpointed when I started getting anxious. I thought Hillary had this in the bag. I think it was when the Bundy clowns all were acquitted. That was the beginning. Ugh, I gotta chill.

Not only can you vote, you can vote twice. If you're voting for Trump that is. Otherwise no.

Dallas Woodhouse, executive director of North Carolina’s GOP, argued Republicans in his state don't have a "suppression vote problem" but Clinton’s supporters “have a depression problem."

"The Democrats have a depression problem. You know why? It’s very simple. Their candidate, if elected, could have these on election day," he said, holding up the handcuffs.
“Hillary Clinton inauguration jewelry,” Woodhouse added.

“Is this the kind of rhetoric you want to be seeing five days out from an election? You’re holding up handcuffs on our air here,” MSNBC's Hallie Jackson responded, commenting on the "props."

“The FBI is Trumpland,” said one current agent.

This atmosphere raises major questions about how Comey and the bureau he is slated to run for the next seven years can work with Clinton should she win the White House.

The currently serving FBI agent said Clinton is “the antichrist personified to a large swath of FBI personnel,” and that “the reason why they’re leaking is they’re pro-Trump.”

The agent called the bureau “Trumplandia,” with some colleagues openly discussing voting for a GOP nominee who has garnered unprecedented condemnation from the party’s national security wing and who has pledged to jail Clinton if elected.

Make no mistake. LAW ENFORCEMENT is Trumpland. The vast majority of cops would sell their children to bring down Clinton or any other Democrat. People don't appreciate how biased law enforcement is, and how badly they view anyone not conservative. If you work with them, and you're not a hard core right winger, you learn quickly to keep your thoughts to yourself quickly.

Is it just me or has this whole thing gone to a whole new level in the last 48 hours?

What in the hell is going on right now?

Three per centers are such losers. Wannabe soldiers that would piss their pants and run the dirt second things got stirred up. They don't even understand the constitution they claim to be protecting. I can see why they are considered a domestic terror organization - holding a belief their view of the constitution is the only one that is right, and they will kill you if you think otherwise. The only ones worse than these clowns are the Oath Keepers, which is an oxymoron.
