Paul was one of the smartest players BB ever had, and he blew half a million dollars by taking Nicole. You ALWAYS take the weaker player with you to final two. James coasted away the whole summer. Honestly, Nicole did too, but she got other people to do her dirty work and had most of her moves blow up in her face while Paul was on the front lines. Instead, one of the worst players in BB history just won. It was such a waste of a season.

Donald Trump continued his days-long tirade against former Miss Universe Alicia Machado in a Twitter rant Friday morning.

The presidential candidate said that Hillary was “duped” by the “worst Miss U,” while calling the beauty queen’s credibility into question because of past incidents that were recently uncovered.
In 2005, Machado was on a Big Brother-type Spanish reality show called La Granja(or “the farm”). While on the show, she allegedly engaged in a sexual relationship with one of her co-stars that was caught on the show’s cameras and later aired on television, according to a story published in The Sun.
Machado was engaged to baseball player Bobby Abreu, who called off the engagement following the incident.
Trump accuses Clinton of using Machado as a “paragon of virtue” during the debate and says she was “set up by a con.”
Machado has said that she’s been mistreated and insulted by Trump ever since she won the Miss Universe title in 1996. Following Monday’s debate, Trump appeared Fox and Friends to say that Machado’s weight gain while she held the Miss Universe title was a “real problem.”
Clinton used Machado during the debate as an example of how Trump has treated women, saying that Trump called Machado “Miss Piggy” when she gained some weight.
“One of the worst things he said was about a woman in a beauty contest,” Clinton said on Monday. “He loves beauty contests, supporting them and hanging around them. And he called this woman ‘Miss Piggy.’ Then he called her ‘Miss Housekeeping,’ because she was Latina.
“Donald, she has a name,” Clinton continued. “Her name is Alicia Machado, and she has become a US citizen.”
In his final tweet in the morning rant, Trump asked if Clinton had helped Machado become an American citizen just so she could use her for the debate.
Machado fired back at Trump in an Instagram post Friday, saying that Trump was only trying to bring up false accusations from her past and that she would continue to stand up and share her story.
She said that because of the way that Trump has attacked and mistreated her, she believes he’s likely treated others the same way, which is why she’ll continue to be an activist for women’s rights.
“Through his hate campaign, the Republican candidate insists on discrediting and demoralizing a woman, which is definitely one of his most frightening features,” she wrote.
Machado says that she became a US citizen in part because her daughter was born here and because she wants to exercise her right to vote.
Here’s a translation of her post:
The Republican candidate and his campaign team are again generating attacks, insults, and trying to revive defamation and false accusations about my life. All this in order to intimidate, humiliate and destabilize me once again. The attacks that have come out are cheap lies and slander generated with bad intentions, which have no foundation, that have been spread by sensationalist means.
This, of course, is not the first time that I’ve faced a situation like this. Through his hate campaign, the Republican candidate insists on discrediting and demoralizing a woman, which is definitely one of his most frightening features. With this, he seeks to detract attention from his real problems and his inability to pretend to be the leader of this great country.
When I was just a young girl, the now-candidate humiliated me, insulted me, publicly disrespected me, as he did privately in the cruelest way. As this happened to me, it’s been clear through the years that he has repeated his actions and behavior with other women for decades.Therefore, I will keep standing, sharing my story, my absolute support for Mrs. Clinton, on behalf of the women, my sisters, aunts, grandmothers, cousins, friends, and the female community.
To my Latinas and to everyone, I want to thank you all for the support, love, and respect for my career, for my identity as a human being and for my family. I became a citizen of this great country because my daughter was born here and because I wanted to exercise my rights, including voting.I will continue standing strong in my lived experience as Miss Universe and with you supporting me. I’ve been so pleased with many kind words with so much love. I’m focusing on my busy career, in my work as mother, and I will continue taking positive steps for the Latino community and will continue as activist for women’s rights and the respect we deserve. I appreciate all your love and all your support again, thanks. Many blessings.
Clinton called Trump’s tweetstorm “unhinged” and asked, “What kind of man stays up all night to smear a woman with lies and conspiracy theories?”
She went on to call him “pathetic” for insulting Kim Kardashian’s weight when she was pregnant and for bullying Rosie O’Donnell.
Here are the tweets:

No, Bernie did the sensible thing and went behind the candidate who most supports his views, and who he worked closely with to create the most progressive Democratic platform in history, as well as helping push her personal platform farther to the left. He decided not to go behind the tangerine nightmare, the Putin and Brexit loving Jill Stein, or Mr. Aleppo himself Gary Johnson.
He understands the importance of having a left wing leader, and that under Hillary, he can pass some awesome legislation in the Congress without interference from Trump or his gang of losers.

The best thing to come out of RuPaul's Drag Race now has an indie movie out! RuPaul, Willam, Shangela, Joselyn Fox and Alyssa Edwards also make appearances! I just finished watching it. It's a cute movie with the right amount of Bianca snark.

Yes and when you look at it the lessor of two evils is definitely Hillary, regardless of how shitty she was. I am a Bernie supporter and I will be voting Hillary despite not liking her as a candidate because a Trump presidency will spell disaster for the US and for the world at large.
He only hates illegal immigrants?
you're fucking blind or ignorant and haven't been reading the news if that's what you think. He's openly racist against Mexicans, Blacks, and Muslims, he wants to ban all refugees and Muslims from entering the states during a time of crisis, he's fear mongering over Black Lives Matter, he's economically irresponsible as proven by his multiple bankruptcies, he's literally asking for nationwide stop-and-frisk policies which has been proven to not work and was banned by a NY judge, he's an open misogynist who views women as sex toys and not as people, his foreign and economic policies are INSANE and will NEVER work, he's going to appoint a SPJ to attempt to repeal the gay marriage law, he's going to give millions in tax breaks to the rich... I don't understand how ANYONE with a working brain can vote for him in good conscience. 
He's anti-minorities, anti-foreigners, anti-women, anti-LGBT... 
its really no surprise that the biggest demographic group supporting trump are UNEDUCATED POOR WHITE MALES. Aka white trash racists who don't know shit about politics, economics, social policy, foreign policy, etc., just like Trump himself.
Go IN.

She also supports Donald Trump so any respect anyone has for her should automatically be gone.
Also, I literally saw this happen today and said, "I bet $50 Lautnerfied is going to make a topic on this."

She's being generous. Considering there was a recent poll where 80% of Trump supporters said they want to ban all Muslims completely from the US, she's about 30% off at the very least.

I had no idea Duffy even released a second album. That's how irrelevant she is.

I hate the concept of streaming, so no. I'd buy the physical album when it came out if I liked it enough, but I doubt anyone could make me subscribe to a streaming service.
First of all, fucking SLAY ME with that QUEEN GINGER MINJ SET. ROBBED OF HA WIN. SHOULDA BEEN HA.
Second, in response to OP, I already have Apple Music so i'm perched for her to make it an exclusive.

Yet you called 3 X albums incredible and only 2 Britney albums
I'd say amazing = incredible imo so for me they're tied with three incredible albums
If Christina had more discography and didn't take 60 years to make one song, it might be different.

Christina Aguilera - Cute teen pop debut
Stripped - Incredible
Back to Basics - Incredible
Bionic - Horrible in the minds of critics/GP tho I love it so to me it's incredible
Lotus -
Not counting any others bc we all know Mi Reflejo and My Kind of Christmas don't count
BOMT - Cute teen pop debut
Oops - Good teen pop sequel
Britney - Very good, seeing some growth
In the Zone - Incredible
Blackout - Incredible
Circus - Good comeback
Femme Fatale - Great
Britney Jean -
Glory - Amazing
Part of it is that Britney simply has more discography. She's also, in the public's mind, only had one truly bad album. Christina's had two in the eyes of the public. I don't like to compare them because I love them both for different reasons, but I will give it to Britney that she has a more consistent discography.

Bernie is a write in and counts in my state, and because Jill gained 0 traction, I will vote for him as a DNC protest vote and democrat downticket.
He hasn't campaigned whatsoever, and has endorsed Hillary. That's fine if he counts in your state, but any vote for him would only count in eight states. It's a legitimate throw away vote, because that vote will not go to either third party and help their viability in the next election, nor will it go to one of the big two. "DNC Protest Vote" is legitimately nothing. Even if the third party candidates themselves don't excite you, giving a vote to them and helping them get a future is better than a vote that will actually be thrown in the trash.

I will agree on all 3 of those quotes
Then I guess your choice is to not vote? Unless another third party candidate comes along that you agree with.
I'd never shame someone for voting third party. The system won't allow for one to win this year, but if they get enough votes, they can qualify for public matching of funds, and get more public support and access to debates, which will make it more viable that one could win in 2020 (also if we work to overturn our electoral process to the popular vote or a ranked voting system).
Voting Trump and writing in someone who isn't campaigning/filled out the proper paperwork for their write in votes to be considered d (aka the people who'd rather write in Bernie than find a candidate that best matches them) are the only two votes i'd be like "that's a waste."
Though tbh it's equally important to vote for representatives and Senators that will push a progressive agenda. Down ticket votes are so important this year.

1. That quote is from 2004 and, ironically, she was speaking out on the Senate Floor against a Constitutional Amendment that would've defined marriage as between a man and a woman.
2. Bernie also didn't believe in gay marriage until a few years ago. He was for civil unions and didn't want to start a "national debate" on gay marriage.
Trust me, as a gay man I would've loved to have seen more politicians come out in support of it earlier. Fact is, virtually zero big name politicians came out in favor of gay marriage until fairly recently. It's been through years of hard work and progress that has changed the minds of many.
Trump is a monster, Jill Stein is a joke, and while I like many of Gary Johnson's social policies and foreign policy positions, he is far too right fiscally for me to ever vote for (he's pro-TPP, as you mentioned). He is the antithesis of Bernie's economic plan. Not to mention that in a winner-takes-all Electoral College system (which is fucked up and outdated), it is impossible for a third party to win in todays climate. When that system is overturned and changed, I would love to see a viable third party as president.
So, my choice is clear. It may not be everyones choice, and I do have fundamental issues with Hillary still, but for me, out of all the choices, the good outweighs the bad. That may not be the case for everyone, and that's their prerogative.

Jill just doesn't capture my energy like Bernie did, and why hasn't she been campaigning?
She doesn't have many qualifications and has said a few off the wall statementsI will vote, I am in a write in state.
To me, she's really bad representation for the progressive movement. She wants to criticize Hillary for a lot of her foreign policy decisions (and some of those are valid critiques), but Stein herself cuddled up to Putin at a dinner in Moscow in 2015, and made a speech there criticizing American human rights and saying we should follow Russia's lead in areas of "acceptance" and such. Plus there's the fact that her running mate has called Obama an "Uncle Tom," refused to take back the statement, and then said Bernie's campaign supported white supremacy and stoked those flames. It's just a shame because it would've been great to have someone similar to Bernie come out with guns blazing, ready to take on the system, but here we have this unqualified woman and a delusional running mate.
Are you considering Gary Johnson? I disagree with him fiscally but I like him on his social and foreign policy positions.

The media like CNN MSNBC Washington Post NY Times makes me want to puke
True but when even conservative news sources like Fox News and non-partisan (that's what all media should be but that's another discussion) news sources are shitting on Trump, it's pretty clear that something is terribly wrong.
You know I'm about my boo Bernie (i'm hoping for him to be Majority Leader in the Senate if the Dems take back the Senate this year, so he can start to advocate some serious change) still. I understand that not all of the Bernie voters will go to Hillary, and honestly that's fine. I think Stein's totally unqualified and ridiculous herself, but that's also another discussion. The only thing I have a huge problem with is a Bernie voter voting for Trump, because then it's pretty clear they were never truly for Bernie. They only wanted to "shake things up."
Vote for Clinton or vote for a third party, just don't vote Trump or stay home.
