69% of Trump voters think that if Hillary Clinton wins the election it will be because it was rigged, to only 16% who think it would be because she got more vote than Trump. More specifically 40% of Trump voters think that ACORN (which hasn’t existed in years) will steal the election for Clinton. That shows the long staying power of GOP conspiracy theories.

^^^With numbers and thinking like that, the '2nd amendment people' become a serious concern. If you don't buy the system as legitimate, the door to violence is open.

That is sooo last week.


This week we are back to President Obama along with Hillary creating ISIS in 2004.

It has gone by several names since 2004, when long-time Sunni extremist Abu Mus‘ab al-Zarqawi established al-Qaida in Iraq (AQI), also known as the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI) and more recently the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), according to the National Counterterrorism Center.

After he was killed in a 2006 U.S. airstrike, the group became the Islamic State of Iraq. In 2013, the group was referred to as the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham and then just the Islamic State in 2014.

It's afaik generally referred as IS, Islamic State, as taking in all associated factions.
Of course, it is neither "Islamic", or a "State".

"More than 75 Republicans have signed a letter urging Republican National Committee Chair Reince Priebus to spend the party's money on helping secure the Republican majority in the Senate, not on Donald Trump's presidential campaign.

The letter, whose signers include former congressmen Mickey Edwards and Christopher Shays; former senator Gordon Humphrey; Bruce Bartlett, a policy aide to Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush; and former RNC staff members, said Trump's campaign will have a "catastrophic impact" on down-ballot races.

"We believe that Donald Trump’s divisiveness, recklessness, incompetence, and record-breaking unpopularity risk turning this election into a Democratic landslide, and only the immediate shift of all available RNC resources to vulnerable Senate and House races will prevent the GOP from drowning with a Trump-emblazoned anchor around its neck," the letter reads." WaPo

Poor Reince Priebus.

Poor Reince Priebus.
That's where the Koch donor network is spending that $889 million.

Rumsfeld and Cheney had everything to do with it IMO, the inept Bush did as he was told.
