I am obviously a fool and an idiot.
Trump dominated, he curb-stomped. Under the worst possible circumstances of defections and criticism he still did the homework. Other than the pre-debate press conference there wasn’t the sex fire-works assumed to happen. On the issues raised Trump destroyed Clinton. It’s like Clinton decided it was over and…it wasn’t.
Lord knows what happens now.
The Debate
Open thread.
As an aside, posts are queued up until later tomorrow morning as I’ll be drinking…heavily.
Update: 50 minutes in Trump is knocking this out of the park.
This will be interesting.
The fall-out from this will be fun.

For some more context a larger part of the story.
True the vote
The official in charge of investigating these matters did have one suggestion. He said any Indiana resident concerned over fraud can go to Indianavoters.in.gov in order to make sure all of their information is correct.
TLDR;
When an article on Hillary Clinton’s ongoing scandals is ‘Too Long Didn’t Read’ and she leads in the polls you know three things:
– The Republican nomination voters chose poorly.
– The Democratic nomination voters chose poorly.
– No one under the age of 35 is going to read it.

And the media say Trump is the disqualified person.
Via, TimR:
The media, of course, don’t focus on any of these things. Instead they trot out a tape of Trump talking dirty about women eleven years ago. I know that no other men would ever talk like that on a bus, in a locker room, at a bar, or at a bowling alley. The media and Hillary are absolutely shocked. According to Hillary, no one who ever talked like that or treated women like that can ever be president. (That is really rich coming from the wife of Bill.)
When has the media ever focused on things detrimental to Democrats?
Is it fair to criticize Trump? Yes. Is it fair to ignore the failings of Clinton? No. The media is and always has been in the tank for Clinton because Trump offends their sensibilities even as the world burns around them.
What have you got to lose?, indeed.
Why?
I don’t understand the reasoning for this. 25% of “qualified labour expenditure” (whatever that means) seems a little profligate.
The decision is likely to resonate the most in Joly’s province of Quebec, and her hometown of Montreal, where the tax credit could benefit several popular French-language talk shows produced by independent production companies.
Oh, nevermind. Spending money in Quebec is reason enough for the Liberals.

The Upper Crust
The Liberals won’t stop laughing at the poor, unwashed peons until they’re tossed out of government. Then it’s all, ‘Evil, heartless, uncaring Conservatives.’
I recently spoke to an ex-politician, a Liberal at that, who told me he sends money to his 80-year-old mother every month because she can’t afford to pay her energy bills.
She and her husband spent their lives working and paying taxes and this is the position the government has put her in.

Finally.
Update: Well, it appears the story was spiked. Anyway it alleged that Kardasian staged the whole jewellery theft and that their network was pulling the show because of it.
Apparently the fate of Ryan Lochte wasn’t lesson enough her.
I hope it’s true and not just another stunt, because ‘Cancelled’ is what should happen to all TV reality stars.
Not wrong.
Carbon pricing is just another enviro con game.
#NotACult NoooNoNo.
And only twenty years late.
Patent trolls may find the future unwelcoming.
About bloody time, these scum have been the bane of developers since they discovered that describing something incorrectly allowed them to profit from license.
We call them Maple bugs
And I’ve been waging a personal jihad on them since last year.
A Canadian is a Canadian is an Illegal Immigrant.
Former Liberal riding president calls for a full investigation into the Monsef family’s refugee application.
Oh and he is also a former Immigration and Refugee Board adjudicator.
Ad Scam – Redux
A trial in Montreal related to a 20-year-old political scandal has heard that Liberal Party officials used federal funds for partisan purposes – including $165,000 to buy the silence of a party bagman who was caught up in an influence-peddling scheme.

Won’t anyone think of the refugees?
He arrived in Germany as a refugee last year and was under interior ministry surveillance for a period, according to Focus magazine, which cited intelligence sources.

I guess we’ll see.
But I suspect that the people described here are not going to be enough to beat Trump.
Fighting for Saskatchewan
“This is a fight for Saskatchewan interests and we’re going to take the fight to the public arena,” Wall said on Friday, adding that the province is “going to make our case over the next number of weeks.”
“It’s not there. The bottom line is, they have not done it,” Wall claimed. “How can you do that without an economic assessment?”
I dunno, ask Premier Notley.
The Children Are Our Future.
And that’s why we’ve mined the back 40.
