According to Sports Illustrated, Oven Chicken has started social media campaign to help re-elect Vladimir Putin, presumably from the US. I don't think the Vlad is going is going to need any help.
Brazille shows how preposterous it is to think that anybody could have been disgusted enough with the DNC to leak those emails. It had to have been a Russian hack because Putin was scared shitless of a US with a firm and clear eyed leader at the tiller jealously protecting our nation's interests!

My favorite old school wrestler was Buddy "Nature Boy" Rogers. His mother lived next door to me when I was a little kid. She always bought those stupid imprinted Christmas cards from me every year. Her and my mom and aunt were about my only customers.
Las Vegas is creepy. Except at night from a distance. Then it's beautiful. Like L.A. coming over the mountains at night and it's stretched out below you all lit up. The darkness and distance hide the creepiness.
Looking forward to Friday's "exclusive" excerpt from Brazile's book.
There is apparently a strategy to these sorts of exposes. First up might be Politico or WaPo (or NYT). Next day, one of the others gets another chapter or at least new salacious details. And then the next day. I suppose Brazile is already scheduled to be on CNN this weekend (or Meet the Press or This Week) By the time the book is actually released (Nov. 7th), we know most of the shocking information.
This was the playbook for "Shattered" - and I still bought the book on my Kindle - wanted to keep it for future reference.
I admit - I'm kinda shocked at how the MSM is treating this in a way that crucifies Hillary. Couldn't happen to a more evil deserving woman.
Meanwhile, Podesta can't even go on TV to defend Hillary - he's got his own troubles.
"Las Vegas is creepy. Except at night from a distance. Then it's beautiful. Like L.A. coming over the mountains at night and it's stretched out below you all lit up."
I have the opposite impression of Las Vegas at night. I've never stayed in Vegas but I have had the experience of driving through it on the interstate at night when traveling from California home to Wisconsin. For many, many miles approaching it the glorious desert night sky becomes more and more washed out until you can't see a blessed thing. It's amazing how extensive its light dome is. It impressed me as the biggest, ugliest light polluter I had ever seen.
I’ve only enjoyed one city by night. If you’re landing at Reagan National after dark try to arrange to sit in s window seat on the left side of the cabin. Most flights come in down the Potomac and you have marvelous views of Georgetown, the White House, the Lincoln and Washington Monuments, the Mall and Capitol Building. It’s just gorgeous.
Of course if the plane lands from the south you don’t see any of this, just Northern Virginia, but more land from the north.

You young whippersnappers didn't grow up in the 50s in the NYC area - I bet you don't remember Argentina Rocca (the good guy) or Killer Kowalski (the bad guy), do you?
The Clintons are becoming timeless like a Norman Rockwell calendar breaking bad. There are revelations from Donna Brazile: "See, Hillary is crooked". But Hillary has been shown to be crooked before and then become the Presidential candidate and been held up as an example for little girls to emulate. I see the Dems are chasing her like greased pig at the county fair. I've seen this before. My money is on the pig with lipstick.
“All the games that are run by humans also have machine games that are based on them.”
Stephen Paddock lacked the people skills necessary to play poker poker; he excelled at the video version. Also, normal guns weren’t good enough for him; he needed “machine guns.”
I guess everyone has memories of wrestling from where they grew up. Here in the Midsouth every Saturday morning at 11 it was "Studio Wrestling" The local guys were Jerry Lawler (hometown hero) Tojo Yamamoto and the "Fablous Jackie Fargo" Yeah, that's how he pronounced it. We had guest stars come through, I remember the Iron Sheik, Killer Kowalski, Sargent Slaughter, and some others. I knew a guy who went to wrestling school briefly. He said the hardest skill he had to learn was how to pretend to hit someone and stomp his foot on the canvas at the same time.
Sammartino was born in Italy, moved to Pittsburgh in his early years and graduated from Schenley High School. An absolute legend in the 'Burgh. Back in the day, he owned the city.
I delivered papers for the St Paul (MN) Pioneer Press (morning paper) and the St Paul Dispatch (the evening paper) during the early 1960s. The sports page for most of the year was one page, and if it wasn't for professional wresting, there wouldn't have been a sports page, the next page was the Crime Report, which was just about as long.
For part of the charges against him, Manafort is using the Clinton defense. Practically no one is charged under the failure to disclose statute, he argues.
Well. If true, will we follow the Comey precedent?

I heard that same line of crap from my liberal brother and a commie history prof. I wonder how many of her followers were liberals who would have invented her if she didn't exist.
The media's favorite outrageous right-wing troll was a fake! Can you guys believe it!
Jenna Abrams, the freewheeling American blogger who believed in a return to segregation and said that many of America’s problems stemmed from PC culture run amok, did not exist. But Abrams got very real attention from almost any national news outlet you can think of, according to a Daily Beast analysis of her online footprint
"Right wing blogger Jenna Abrams, who has 70,000 followers, does not exist, was created by St. Petersburg troll farm"
That. Is absolutely amazing. And "Jenna"! The perfect Gen Y name for a fake out. I want to applaud as I scream in horror at the sophistication of this stuff.
Yeah, that's such a sophisticated parody of people on the right that all of those liberal publications that wanted desperately to believe it were sucked in.
If you read about media outlets that got sucked in, you have the WaPo, New York Times, Daily News, and they manage to drag Fox into it because "local affiliates" having nothing editorially to do with Fox News.
The conspiracy minded will soon rule the earth, because nothing will be real. Amazing.
"Abrams, who at one point boasted nearly 70,000 Twitter followers, was featured in articles written by Bustle, U.S. News and World Report, USA Today, several local Fox affiliates, InfoWars, BET, Yahoo Sports, Sky News, IJR, Breitbart, The Washington Post, Mashable, New York Daily News, Quartz, Dallas News, France24, HuffPost, The Daily Caller, The Telegraph, CNN, the BBC, Gizmodo, The Independent, The Daily Dot, The Observer, Business Insider, The National Post, Refinery29, The Times of India, BuzzFeed, The Daily Mail, The New York Times, and, of course, Russia Today and Sputnik."
Why do you people have to be so mental? First, you can see several conservative publications and platforms in that list. Second, her material was meant to push liberal buttons - is it not expected that liberal push back would be the dominant response? Third, did (m)any conservative commenters disavow her? Suggest she was a fraud? Should we even care? No! Because the importance of all of this is how thoroughly Russia is winning this cyberwarfare against the United States specifically, and the west generally. THAT is the point, not your petty nattering about liberals, FFS. Some of you are Russian troll wet dreams. Stop volunteering to stand in front of the tanks in this war against you, and your country.
>First, you can see several conservative publications and platforms in that list.
Lefties love to invent details that reinforce their biases, so I'll just point out that "mentioned" doesn't mean "qouted approvingly" or even "taken seriously."
It is likely that the fake right-winger was created by a leftist/s. It is the sort of hoax that the left is becoming famous for in the last decade or so.

There are actual craps tables with actual stick-men, dealers, and box-men. They discourage photographs.

I still remember Bruno Sammartino doing push-ups at a brisk pace - with a full size adult sitting on his back.
My favorite old school wrestler was Buddy "Nature Boy" Rogers. His mother lived next door to me when I was a little kid. She always bought those stupid imprinted Christmas cards from me every year. Her and my mom and aunt were about my only customers.
