I wouldn't be surprised if Anonymous or another group dropped a bunch of Trump organization emails. Lots of chatter lately about how they're running unpatched EOL software on their servers.

layman's terms?

Their IT department is woefully inadequate - hacking their servers would be extremely easy to do.

I bought Oreos.

I absolutely cannot wait. Finish it, HRC.

I'm ready. I have nowhere to be Thursday and a whole bottle of Cabernet ready to go. Time to sweep the leg, Hillary. Sweep the leg.

The debate is tomorrow -- Wednesday.

Pssst: pretty sure she knows this & was relieved she could slack a bit on Thurs

I bet he'll say the word "emails" 138 times.

Gross. And he has some nerve calling pregnant women submarines. 

[jeaniebueller]

He has been mocking Hillary for doing prep all week and I am guessing he has done none.

H just found out he got a ticket and gets to go. I am so jealous.

Right. I meant that I can drink the whole bottle and not have to worry about getting up and going anywhere Thursday morning.

Listening to the morning shows, its chapping my ass that so many GOP establishment people are pearl clutching over Trumps' "election is rigged/voter fraud" statements, when for years GOP controlled state governments have been pushing voter ID laws using the same language. Guess what, assholes? You fueled the narrative!!

[gerberdaisy]

If this has been discussed already, ignore, but how does everyone feel about Chris Wallace as the moderator? I don't know that much about him, but being part of Fox News of course makes me nervous, then he said that he isn't likely to fact check during the debate, but act as timekeeper. I wonder how this will work with Trumps blatant lies. Will he really just let those go and not stop him?

[andwhat]

I have to be at work at 530am tomorrow. I am going to try to watch the whole debate, but we will see.

Didn't he do one of the primary debates? I think I liked him IIRC.

I expect he wont fact check every statement but my guess is that he will present many questions with facts that Trump will have to deny, so trump will have to go down on the record as denying those facts.  IDK if that makes sense, lol.

Chris Matthews was saying last night that he expects Wallace to hammer both candidates for actual responses.

Abortion has not been discussed yet right? Can I ask why the fuck not? I am so damn sick of this issue never being stuck like glue to Republicans in debates. She'd better bring it up..

well, at least they are pushing back on this rather than doubling down on it???  
ITA with you, but more on the GOP need to tell trump to STFU

They are discussing the Supreme Court tonight, so it might come up then.

yea, I'm not generally thrilled with it. I thought the Commis. on POTUS debates could have picked a more neutral and credible person, but maybe if Wallace does lay into Trump, all the republicans can't blame the liberal media???  I'm certainly interested to see how he handles Trump.

#TrumpDebateGuests is trending on Twitter.

[katietornado]

People are thinking he might have invited Danney Williams.

[jeaniebueller]

Here are Hillary's debate guests: lasvegassun.com/news/2016/oct/18/three-nevadans-to-attend-debate-as-guests-of-hilla/

Clinton’s guests include local activist and Dreamer Astrid Silva, 11-year-old Karla Ortiz and Trump International Hotel housekeeper Ofelia Diaz Cardenas, according to a Clinton campaign official.




(I mean, I am not happy at whatever shitty things this poor woman likely experienced as an employee of Trump Hotel, but it is probably going to trigger donald)

[katietornado]

Is anyone watching CNN today? The nutjobs are driving me insane.

Constant chants of "lock her up" and the occasional woman screaming "George Soros is stealing this election!" Oh, and we just got a "Hillary for Prison!"

That whole thing was incredible.  Colbert tries to act as a career counselor, teaching Obama to interview for jobs.  Asks him about his experience, his resume.  At one point says, "and where were you born?"  Obama gave him this angry stare and then said, "let's move on."

He is a pretty good interviewer and tends to be even handed.

I heard part of it on the radio this morning, like the part where Colbert asks why POTUS hasn't been promoted in 8 years. 

I'll have to watch the rest at home tonight.

Along with this (didn't listen yet, but the payoff at the end looks funny):
