Donald Trump has not filed the paperwork necessary to be on the Minnesota ballot. I'm a bit confused by the story's description of the rules, but it sounds like he has until August 29th to fix it, but even if so this is an odd one.

He's on there now, as of today.

Too bad that story didn't come out on the 30th just to see if the GOP was truly asleep at the wheel.

I mean Minnesota of course is famous for being the only state that voted for Mondale in that historic landslide. So if Trump weren't on the ballot, would it really matter?

So Trump has essentially called Clinton a bigot (well started to poke and prod at that).

he said his opponent "sees people of colour only as votes not as human beings worthy of a better future".

This is probably not a road he wants to go down.

[ernie]

Clinton 99%
Stein 97%
Johnson 23%
Castle 10%
Orange guy with small hands 2%

Stein 97%
Clinton 87%

Crazy

Just watched the clip from Hannity's town hall last night where Trump wanted to poll the audience on whether to kick people out of the country.

This is real life.

[Senator Clay Davis]

David Duke's criticism of Hillary going after the alt-right is literally exactly what she wants. Christ these people are dense (and in Duke's case, oddly obsessed with mentioning pedophilia).

Once again Trump finishes his speech with the chorus of 'You Can't Always Get What You Want' by the Stones, a song about a junkie trying to fix, even the chorus makes no sense politically, vote Trump and you won't get what you want but you'll get what you need, I can only interpret that two ways, either he's telling his voters if elected forget what he promised he'll go with a full on fascist 'I know what's best for you' or it means the Trump campaign is in fact a vote for Hillary, which is what the country needs.

Stein 86%
Clinton 85%
Johnson 46%
Small brain, big johnson megalomaniac 15%

I kind of find her attractive.

Daily Trumpism for the laughs

[worth]

Do American politicians not campaign on platform? I haven't heard a single thing out of Trumps mouth that has to do with policy. All I've heard is we're going to make it "better". It's obvious he has no platform, but how can anyone vote for someone who doesn't have a plan on how to make things better? Don't answer that, I know what the answer is. I just find this whole election baffling.

[Swift]

Exactly, right? The Canadian election had them all speaking of facts and figures and how much they were going to spend and so on. I don't think I've a heard a single dollar amount mentioned in this election, aside from how much Trump is going to charge the Mexicans for building the wall and that's just a made up amount.

He's changed it again today:

[PsYcNeT]

I like to imagine Trump keeps flip flopping once daily for the rest of the campaign on immigration in a desperate attempt to keep everyone just a little bit happy.

Caught in an endless loop of prolonged dissatisfaction.

... and once they're out

Also, when I found that picture, I also found this one and there's no way I can't share it.
