I can't wait for reports on what the meetings of the VP screenings were like.Probably a lot of "When we were interviewing Gov. Mary Fallin, Dr. Carson visibly dozed off and started snoring through her recitation of her conservative credentials.""Chris Christie arrived late, visibly sweating and covered in grease stains. He said 'You wouldn't believe what a line there was at McDonalds.' Gov. Christie was later rejected for breaking the Oreos pledge right in front of us."
@PaulBluDonald Trump raised just $3.1 million in May. Yikes.
@samsteinhpTrump’s campaign only has $1,289,507 cash on hand. that is completely nuts.
@teddyschleifer 4h4 hours agoHillary Clinton's campaign has $42.5 million on hand, and raised $26.4 million in the month of May, per new filing.
@teddyschleifer 4h4 hours agoCombined with Priorities USA, this means pro-Clinton players have about $94 million on hand as of May 31. As for Trump? Don't know yet.
Kenneth P. Vogel @kenvogel 4mTrump campaign expenses in May, per @FEC report:Hats: $208kOnline advertising: $115kData management: $48kCommunications consulting: $38k
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/us/general_election_trump_vs_clinton-5491.htmlIf you look at the polls, Trump saw a bit of surge [and Hillary saw a bit of collapse] near the end of May, but he's fallen hard since then and Hillary has been pulling away for nearly a month now. Trump really can't afford to not have money for big ad buys right now.
Is this what the death of a major US political party looks like brehs? We are living in interesting times.

The figure represents payments for facilities rental, catering, monthly rents and utilities at more than a half-dozen Trump-owned companies and properties. It includes nearly $350,000 that the Trump campaign paid a Trump-owned company, TAG Air, for the use of Trump’s private jets and helicopters. The most striking expenditure in the new filings was $423,372, paid by the Trump campaign for rentals and catering at Trump’s 126-room Palm Beach, Florida, mansion, Mar-A-Lago, which Trump operates as a private club.Other Trump-owned recipients of campaign funds include Trump Restaurants, which raked in $125,080 in rent and utilities; Trump Tower Commercial, which charged $72,800 in rent and utilities in the building that houses Trump’s campaign headquarters; the Trump National Golf Club, in Jupiter, Florida, which collected $35,845 for facilities rental and catering; and the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, which billed the campaign for $29,715, for facilities rentals and catering.
He's just making money because he's a smart businessman, you probably don't understand, college intellectual

Not entirely topical but this is the thread in which I learned about it.On the rare moments I've popped into Twitter lately I've noticed a lot of pseudo reappropriation of the triple parentheses thing, and by people who to my knowledge aren't Jewish either. Is this a thing now, or am I just unintentionally in a bubble of people I don't agree with?
I don't believe reappropriation is possible, but am rarely (if ever) an affected party in such debates and thus generally keep that opinion of mine to myself. It sounds like this is as much self-congratulatory WhiteLiberalism.txt as it is reappropriation, however.

It's not about Harriet Tubman, it's about keeping the picture on the $20," King said Tuesday evening, pulling a $20 bill from his pocket and pointing at President Andrew Jackson. "Y'know? Why would you want to change that? I am a conservative, I like to keep what we have."
The conservative gadfly said it is "racist" and "sexist" to say a woman or person of color should be added to currency. "Here's what's really happening: This is liberal activism on the part of the president that's trying to identify people by categories, and he's divided us on the lines of groups. ... This is a divisive proposal on the part of the president, and mine's unifying. It says just don't change anything."
Kim Weaver of Sheldon, King's Democratic opponent in Iowa's 4th District race for the House this fall, criticized the seven-term lawmaker's proposal.“Iowans have four representatives in the United States House of Representatives, and unfortunately one of them seems to maintain a laser focus on where his next headline-grabbing piece of stunt legislation will come from," Weaver said. “What will this amendment do for residents of Iowa’s 4th District? Nothing. How will it make the lives of his constituents better? It won’t. And what chance does this meaningless and mean-spirited gesture have of actually passing? Just like most measures introduced by Steve King, none.”
holy shit if it's a clinton warren ticket my head may actually explode

fuck steve king and all, but i wonder if it's as much about tubman and the $20 like CNN assumes and not just some NEVER CHANGE IT EVER like when the faces got bigger or the bills changed colors or whatever people like to complain about the government doing to OUR MONEY without our permission like how back in my day nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them, "give me five bees for a quarter" you'd say, now where were we? oh yeah, the important thing was i had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the timeQuoteAMENDMENT TO H.R. 5485, AS REPORTEDOFFERED BY MR.

“I just wanted to let you guys know why I am a conservative gay male, and support Donald Trump” Gabriel Reagan, of Eugene, OR, says at the beginning of a video recently posted to his facebook page.“Number one, he’s a hustler and a baller, and I admire that. He’s a good businessman” he says of Trump. “But more importantly, I’m kind of disgusted, not kind of, *very* disgusted and extremely disappointed in the way my fellow black folk have chosen over the past 60 years to really allow themselves to be enslaved to the democratic party, the slave master party.”...“To the homosexual community, my fellow gay folk. WAKE UP! Hillary Clinton does not love you, taking all this money from all these countries that slaughter gays every day. They just trying to work your vote, baby!” he proclaims. “They do not care about you one bit. This is not about gun control, this is about terrorism.” He soon says “Stop trying to make yourselves out to be some kind of special victim. It’s not a hate crime, I know you guys wish it was a white, straight, Christian male so it would fit your narrative, but your narrative’s been shattered.”

Huh, can somebody who's been president run for VP?
Rick Tyler says he...wants to return to an earlier time "when there were no break-ins; no violent crime; no mass immigration."
