America; we, us all of us... is the loser in last nights debates..in this election...unless we all contribute something to assist in pluralizing our nation's political parties. From what I could watch of the debates both were equally bad: Trump not only on principle, but by his utter disdain for the procedures of debating. And he really did seem high as hell on cocaine to me. Not so much the sniffling, though that was excessive, but the nervous to predatory way he stalked Hillary around the stage like a bona fide predator. Hillary was evasive and seemed to rely solely on the slack the mainstream media cabals have given her, and the tried and true cliche's corporatists hawks like herself have repeated for years when they think the electorate is dumb. And they do think we're dumb, which is why we have the candidates we have this 2016 presidential election. Oh, well, more articulate critics than I who sat through the whole thing, starting with Peter Bloom over at CommonDreamsdotorg:
"While Trump grabbed most of the media attention – perhaps for once completely unwanted – slightly under the radar was Clinton’s Wikileaks released speeches from Goldman Sachs. In them she admits her support for Wall Street and her intentional attempts to hide this from the public. These scandals expose the moral bankruptcy of both candidates. The respective actions of Trump and Clinton should seriously challenge their legitimacy as presidential candidates. More fundamentally these revelations reveal just how morally unacceptable American democracy has become."

The Nation and most other mainstream to progressive sites declare Hilliary the winner of last night's debate; If you go by the comments sections of youtube and other media, which you really is the monopoly of hate-mongering trolls these days, Trump won by virtue of intimidation poses and one or two good comebacks. But again, their are only losers in this election: The question is how soon do we all want to be in chains to either's style of fascism. That is what both represent: Trump's style is without the doublespeak nor subtly that has been carefully crafted to disguise the mental slavery Americans have chosen to embrace. We all knew, and now all know, Trump was there only to scare the electorate to the friendly fascists of Wall Street.

Meanwhile the corruption that universally infects all Chicago institutions has again put the whammy on community led attempts at real police reform:

And there is this: IMHO this is the kind of "journalism" that originates from sources other than independent stewards of a free press, as was recently revealed that the pentagon spent over a half billion dollars alone on one British pr firm to create false news -- very much in the the style of us mainstream media and the bbc. Psy-ops are real. Like this. A timely piece to take attention away from the US DOJ probe of CPD and the compromises the feds have already made to the mayor and his thugs with badges. News of distraction. Why is it so many violent and armed white suspects can be apprehended with their lives but we accept it as normal when Blacks die even when unarmed and complying. A lot of folks want to give kudos to the officers for not shooting and if I am wrong than kudos to her, but my activist intuition tells me this is false propaganda.
The innocent minorities in Yemen continue to die by indiscriminate US-Saudi Led air assaults as national media remains distractive and omissive of national and global events:

I think the worst thing about donny is that he has taken the concept of respect for others and shown that the presidency is just some rich person who is after some freeloading time in the White House...
I mean after two decades of the antics of these professional politician vermin, now we get some loud mouth yobbo who seems to not have any decency toward anything. What amazes me is he does not even seem to have any self respect. Truly money does not care who it hangs out with.
Donny has done more to radicalize extremist groups and force people toward terrorism with his crazy words than the White House managed to do in ten years of warfare in Iraq and Afghanistan.
He is an almost walking poster child for communist rhetoric and anarchists and simply a danger to the principles of democracy. If our youth see such vermin rewarded for stupid photo opportunity stunts they will not have any reason to believe in democratic principles.
I know Repubtards are against people voting but this is simply taking things way to far. It shows what senior zealots within the party actually care about their corporate image when they simply stay silent. These Republicans have made a lot of serious money out of the democratic process over the decades and now they do not even have the will to try and defend their own party's public image. . .
When people of go conscious lose hope they will despair and cling to any crazy nutjob with a weird haircut, history has proven that; time and time again. I think the worst is that Republicans try and give the impression of public respectability while fondling interns in private, at least now we know how Repubtards really are. How does one go bankrupt so many times that they become a MULTI Billionaire, ain't america Great...
