A fucking red button that delivers a coke.
Title's a bit misleading; the guy handed the tickets to Gillum's brother, and he basically said "HEY BRO I GOT TICKETS YOU WANNA COME?!"
This is the best the GOP can do.

LOL

Also here's an email MODERATE DARLING Susan Collins just sent out


Wait, she's soliciting donations for herself?

Is this caravan story really getting lots of play? I don't watch cable news that much so I'm thankfully sparing myself but it is total bullshit for them to be doing this right before the midterms.
We are playing it up a bit but yeah it's getting attention from the cable news networks.

I'd expect the bombs to dominate the news cycle for the rest of the week, especially if there's more.
Maybe if there's more. I expect it to be old news in a day or two if it's just these 3 unless dems go on air to keep it in the news. The reason the caravan sticks is that it gets constant play in conservative media, which builds demand for it in mainstream media.

CNN.com's homepage has literally no mentions of the caravan right now, except possibly indirectly in its lead story "Trump Masters His Dangerous Game", which is indeed embarrassing.

But the caravan itself is not currently on the front page at all.
They have CNN on in my office at work always, the last few days CNN keeps going back to the caravan and showing the map and video of the people in it over and over throughout the day. It's catnip on the tv side of things.

As these bombs are found... Let's all rememeber: we are the mobs and we need to learn to be civil and not mess up someone's office.

Schumer to state that there are issues on both sides. McConnel is unable to eat out in peace, and the Clinton's have received a mail order bomb.
Calls for civility on both sides.

They just had a 20 minute segment on it on air (listened on Sirius)... In which the reporter was actually lamenting the fact that this shit is getting coverage, and basically blamed the media.

But hey, it's what people want to watch. Blame the idiots who inhabit the country.

EDIT: Holy shit @ those stories... Logical endpoint of the right's vitriol, unfortunately. There is no bottom anymore, that needs to be accepted.

Schumer should resign. He's a giant piece of shit.

I know it would never happen, but it's nice to dream.

On a "lighter" note, Rhode Island 3rd party candidates continue to be batshit crazy:
http://www.tmz.com/2018/10/24/rhode...UhwbwcaSU3AQKIdBd514LJBDG-XvlMOkJ-YHI6JxndWBE

RHODE ISLAND CANDIDATE BLASTS OUT N-WORD During School Event
A candidate for Rhode Island Attorney General shocked a room full of students when he spelled the n-word out at ear-shattering levels during a high school event.

Alan Gordon -- a member of the Compassion Party -- showed up at North Kingstown High School Tuesday, where he and his opponent, Peter Neronha, fielded questions from students. Gordon became irate after Neronha used the word "marijuana" twice.

Gordon claimed "marijuana" is a racist term ... comparing it to the n-word, which he emphatically rolled out, letter by letter. Many students roared with applause.

After shout-spelling the word ... Gordon left the stage and never returned.

Anne Armstrong, a member of the Compassion Party who's running for Governor, tells us she and Gordon run a cannabis healing clinic -- and the word "marijuana" is extremely offensive to them because it's rooted in racial stereotypes. Don't ask.

Armstrong says Gordon was promised before the event Neronha would not say "marijuana" -- and when he said it the second time it set Gordon off.

As for why Gordon's opponent referred to marijuana during the event ... Gordon and Armstrong were reportedly busted a few weeks back with 48 pounds of pot.

Minneapolis
Rosen is done if true
(it's probably not true)

Damn, how is she that far behind?

I haven't been keeping up with that race much. Is she just not a good candidate or something?
Nevada polling sucks, like, as a rule. Democrats are regularly underestimated based on polling. In 2010 for example, Reid was down in every poll and ended up winning by 6 points.

Rosen is a great candidate, but she's up against a well-funded incumbent. Folks expecting it to be a slam dunk need to re-evaluate their expectations.

The media would have continued not caring about the bomb sent to Soros if it had stopped there. Now an attempt has been made to assassinate two former Presidents. The Secret Service will get involved. It's a hot story now.

I mean if you're not confronted on your bullshit and have no scruples then yea of course he'll just lie about the most basic shit. Media has to push back harder but they've been negged by the right over the years I doubt they ever will find the gumption.

The Time Warner Center in NYC was evacuated because of a suspicious device, per CNN.

So, Soros, the Clintons, Obama and CNN?
