Yes, indeedy, Miz Clinton aims to lose this election even faster than before--ah, well, that's what dementia does for you. Take this latest genius touch onto her already flailing campaign. Does anybody think that Hillary's calling one-half of Trump's supporters "deplorable" a smart move? I'm looking around the room and not seeing any arms raised.

Hello, welcome to the Friday Open Thread, aka Funk Friday. I have been winging it for awhile now, and offer no excuses. The bottom line is I managed to get the Friday Open Thread and it's my funking Friday.
Dan Rolle was a candidate in NV who did some videos around the time of the infamous chair-throwing spectacle (the one that caused Barbara Boxer so much fear of Bernie delegates that her finger went straight up in the air as she fled for her life). He has been very busy in the interim, and the Dem's and Debbie are NOT going to like what he is exposing. Here are a couple of his Reddit posts; they are hard to read, hopefully will be pulled together better soon.
Forget the issues, ladies and gentlemen (and children of all ages). The undisputed cage match of the year will not be brought to you by the UFC. No, it will be purveyed to us by the Presidential Debate Commission, the outfit which represents the duopoly, ignoring aspiring challengers for appearance in the arena.
It's pretty difficult to find any levity in all things political these days, but read the reviews for HER new book Stronger-Together.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich to join President Barack Obama in bipartisan push to promote TPP deal
CLEVELAND, Ohio – Ohio Gov. John Kasich will join President Barack Obama and others Friday at the White House for a "bipartisan strategy session" to promote passage of the Trans-Pacific Partnership – a trade deal that has become a key issue in this year's election.
Kasich is the most notable Republican on the guest list.
Others attendees will include:
The New York Observer has broken a story about donors to the Clinton campaign being systematically overcharged.
The word "community" has been borrowed from pre-internet days, and is being used to describe a phenomenon that is distinctly different in kind. Caucus99perrcent (like its parent DailyKos) is a virtual community, as distinct from an actual community.
One of our ongoing conversations here at c99 is choosing between joining an existing national party and starting another. As an aid to the conversation, I wanted to share this bit of data from the Green Party that appeared in my inbox today:
We were blessed and honored to have the ability to spend a total of around $580,000 for legal defenses, ground game, and paid petitioners.
