GoFundMe Raises Over $243K For Black Church Defaced By Trump Supporters A GoFundMe campaign created to help a historically Black Mississippi church vandalized by alleged Trump supporters has now raised over $243,000. Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church parishioners in Mississippi recently found their place of worship burned with and defaced with the words “Vote Trump,” painted on the walls. The GoFundMe page created by J. Blair Reeves on behalf of the church wrote this message to help gain donations: On Tuesday, November 1st, 2016, unknown criminals burned a predominantly black Baptist church in Greenville, Mississippi and scrawled graffiti on it: “Vote Trump”. The animus of this election cycle combined with the potent racial history of burning black churches as a political symbol makes this event something we must not ignore. Only two weeks ago, the internet came together to help repair a North Carolina GOP field office that had been burned by thugs. Justice demands we do the same now. More details as they are available. Can we do this? Can we help show the world, the country, and most importantly, the churchgoers of Hopewell Baptist that we, as a society, are better than this? The campaign only asked for $10,000 to repair the sanctuary but has since been flooded with donations from all over the world… We must destroy hate with love and stand in solidarity for what is right!
Taylor Swift is the queen of passive aggressive fashion. Late last month, the singer wore a choker during a performance in Austin, stirring talk that she’s coming out with a new album because fans said Swift always debuts a new look when fresh music is on the way. And she had never worn a choker on stage before. Flimsy evidence? Perhaps. But the Internet is now convinced it knows who Swift is voting for based on the top she wore to go vote today. The artist shared the above photo on Instagram this morning, simply writing as a caption “Today is the day. Go out and VOTE.” Pretty simple and harmless, right? Inspiring even. Not all that different from the many other pictures posted by celebrities today of themselves at their local polling locale. Except that astute Swift fans took note of the sweater Swift is wearing. They say this garment isn’t something Taylor just tossed on after waking up from a night of partying with Lorde . Someone named Kaitlyn Tiffany was the first to point out on Twitter that Swift’s shoulder-less top is a nod to an Instagram photo shared a few days ago by occasional squad member Lena Dunham. What the heck is she talking about?!? Over the weekend, Dunham shared a composite of herself and Hillary Clinton wearing the same style of sweater as Swift is rocking above, even referencing the piece of attire in her caption. “Headed to Denver to meet some of my favorite Nasty Women in support of @hillaryclinton!” wrote Dunham, adding: “Let’s do all we can in the days that remain. RN I’m paying tribute in my @lpathelabel cold shoulder sweater.” A-ha! SEE!!!!!! By wearing her own version of this sweater on Election Day, some might argue that Swift is totally being Taylor Swift. She’s expressing an opinion, but she’s doing it in a subtle manner in order to not anger any fans of hers who may support Donald Trump. Swift has gotten in trouble for this sort of thing in the past, getting called out by Demi Lovato , for instance, because she talks about being a feminist… yet doesn’t really act like one. Some might argue that Swift never really takes a stand; that she cares too much about her image. She also has an unusual connection to Trump, in that close friend Karlie Kloss is dating Joshua Kushner , brother of Ivanka Trump’s husband, Jared Kushner. So could it be possible that Swift is sending a message here about voting for Hillary Clinton, while doing it in such a manner as to not upset Kloss and other Trump fans? It’s possible. Or it’s possible we’re reading too much into her sweater. View Slideshow: Hillary Clinton: Posing with the Stars!
Have you voted yet today? Don’t worry; we’re not here to judge you. After all, we’re sure you’re already aware of the many, many valid reasons that you should head to your local polling place and make your voice heard. Of course, if you’re on the fence, we do have one final incentive to offer that may sway you in the direction of doing your civic duty… …and it’s got nothing to do with kindly old ladies handing out stickers. Instead, it has to do with an anti-Trump initiative launched by two inspirational young activists in California. The plan is definitely Clinton-approved, but it probably gets a bigger thumbs-up from Bill than from Hillary. The women in the photo below are Maggie Greene and Angelina Castro: You might know them, but don’t forget to feign ignorance if you’re reading this in the presence of your wife or girlfriend. Greene and Castro are vehemently anti-Trump adult film stars, and they have a plan to take him down – that involves going down. The women are offering oral sex to any man who votes against Trump. It’s really that easy. As the ladies’ website explains: “To qualify for a BJ fans must follow both Angelina Castro and Maggie Green on Twitter and vote against Trump. “Details on how to collect the BJs if Trump loses the election will be posted on TeamBJ.com three days after the election day. “The girls are tentatively planning Inauguration Day to deliver on their promise.” Yes, January 20th could be a huge day for both American history and for your dong. If you’re not a Hillary supporter but you still want to earn a blowie for 2 seconds of work, fear not: Greene and Castro say you can vote for any candidate you want, so long as its not the Trumpkin. They explain further in the video below: Porn Stars Against Trump! “The man doesn’t like nasty women , and he wants to deport all those sexy, fiery Latinas?” Greene asks at one point. “We can’t have that!” She adds: “You just have to vote for anyone but Donald Trump. Anyone at all, except Donald Trump!” Of course, Trump has to lose in order for you to cash in on your beeje, so you might want to play it safe by voting for Hillary instead of one of the third party candidates, none of whom has a shot in hell. Yes, obviously there’s a bit of irony in the Clinton campaign actually being helped by a blow job, but after what happened during her husbands campaign, perhaps it’s time the BJ enthusiast community did something for Hillary. Besides, after Donnie attacked a Venezuelan beauty queen and tweeted about her (non-existent) sex tape at 3 am, it seems fitting that a pair of Latina porn stars are doing everything they can to bring him down. We hate to even go there, but it’s hard not to given the nature of this article: TMZ reported moments ago that Monica Lewinsky will be riding out Election Day in Sweden .

November 8, 2016. A campaign that spanned the better part of two years all came down to Tuesday evening, with the 45th occupant of the Oval Office to be determined. Will Hillary Clinton eke this one out? Will Donald Trump pull off an upset? Soon enough, we will know who will be president come January. We’ve had months to digest what each candidate brings to the table, their strengths and flaws, in what has become a political bloodbath. You’ve had months to profess your not-actually-profound views on Facebook in hopes of influencing people who blocked you weeks ago. Now it’s time to get it done. Go exercise your civic duty. If you’re on the west coast and wondering where do I vote , there’s still time. Go make it happen. Then sit back and watch the results roll in as this insane roller coaster takes its final turn toward the finish line. Either way, history will be made in a presidential election like no other … and either way, the deluge of absurd ads will be over at least. Earlier this morning in Chappaqua, N.Y., Hillary Clinton became the first woman to cast a presidential vote for herself as a major party candidate. She’s all but certain to win the Empire State’s 29 Electoral Votes against Donald J. Trump, who also voted for himself today in Manhattan. While N.Y. State is not up for grabs, plenty of other states are, and national polls show a very tight race, with a modest Clinton advantage. Will it be enough to carry her over the top? Slightly more likely than not … but if we’ve learned anything this year, it’s not to count Trump and his galvanized movement of supporters out. Seriously. Who would’ve guessed he’d make it this far – or that he’d rally from one campaign calamity after another to make this close? UPDATE, 3:45 p.m. : The final projection of Five Thirty Eight, a leading political poll aggregator, suggests the following win probabilities: As you can see, the site gives Clinton a 71.4% chance of prevailing tonight, based on state-by-state probabilities as indicated by color. Other forecasters such as the N.Y. Times put Hillary’s odds closer to 85% … while the Huffington Post gives her a ludicrous 98% chance. Our opinion is that 538’s percentages are more in line with Trump’s chances tonight. While he trails in the polls, he has reason for hope: 1. Polls are sometimes wrong. Usually, they’re pretty accurate, but if Clinton leads by only 2-4 points, that’s within the margin of error. 2. A relatively large number of voters still remain undecided. A 46-42% Clinton lead is more uncertain than a 51-47% lead, for example. 3. The bulk of Clinton’s lead may come from states she has no chance of losing (California, Illinois, N.Y.) and won’t help in the Electoral College. They’ll help, of course; 270 is the number needed to win, and those three count for a lot. But many other battlegrounds are perilously close. Anyway, just a few hours until the first precincts close! We’ll be updating this post with the numbers as they become available. For now, and throughout the day/night, sound off on this historic event!

Wondering how you’ll spend Election Day after casting your vote? Join us live from the TRL studios in Times Square, where we’ll be throwing an Election Day party as we wait for the next president of the United States to be announced.
After a long and tumultuous campaign season, the question of who will be President will finally be answered in a little over 24 hours. Either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton will be the 45th President of the United States. That much we know. The rest is up to the voters. Let’s break down where things stand on the final day before an election unlike any other in history, and with so much at stake for America … As of Monday morning, polls show a modest but not insurmountable lead for Hillary Clinton, the baggage-laden Democratic nominee. She’s ahead of controversial Republican Donald Trump in both two-way matchups and a four-way race against Trump, Gary Johnson and Jill Stein. Aggregators of polling data agree that her lead is somewhere in the range of 2-3 percent nationally, with similarly close races statewide. Is 2-3 percent within the margin of error? Indeed, and we can guarantee you Clinton is not measuring the Oval Office drapes yet. Nevertheless, she remains a modest favorite Tuesday. A few weeks ago, a more comfortable Clinton win seemed likely, and a landslide victory even felt like something within the realm of possibility. So much for that. Clinton led in national polls consistently by 6-7 points, benefiting from three strong presidential debate performances and Trump … being Trump . The recent reopening of the FBI’s probe into Clinton’s private email server helped galvanize Trump’s base, however, and tighten the race. How much impact the FBI had – as opposed to reliably Republican voters “coming home” to the Donald as they would anyway – is unclear. It didn’t help her, however; Clinton’s once-safe lead dwindled down to toss-up territory, even as the FBI didn’t change its findings ultimately . Clinton probably never thought she’d be sweating it out at this point in her second White House bid, but she undeniably (and wisely) is. No candidate in 2012, 2008 or 2004 improved their national polling by more than two points in the two weeks prior to Election. Trump has. Still, it may not be enough to overcome his own ceiling with independents, and the Clinton campaigns superior’s organizational structure. If Clinton and Trump perform at current polling levels (or if Clinton does better than expected), she will prevail, either by a little or a lot. There are still real paths to a Trump victory, via polling errors and/or a late uprising of previously undetected support for the businessman. How favorable are his odds really, though? Predictive models at FiveThirtyEight, the Upshot ( New York Times ) and the Huffington Post all project a Clinton win … of varying degrees. The HuffPost model cites a ridiculous 1.6% chance of a Trump win, while FiveThirtyEight is more bullish, giving him once chance in three. In fairness, Trump does have a real shot. See the map above. With 270 Electoral Votes needed to win, Clinton would claim 301 – more than enough – if every state’s polling is accurate. It’s more complicated than that, however. Margins in Florida in particular are razor-thin, while Trump is gaining ground in New Hampshire. Take away their 33 combined Electoral Votes? You could be looking at President Trump. On the flip side, Clinton is competitive in 5-6 red states above, so he has no margin for error. This second map (both courtesy of Real Clear Politics) offers a better indication of the extent of both candidates leads in the polls, if any. Using only leads determined to be safe or reasonably safe, Clinton’s lead in the Electoral College shrinks to 203-164, with 171 in play. Still, Trump’s battle is more uphill than Hillary’s. North Carolina and Florida are very close – within a percent – but if she can pull out either one, it’s pretty much curtains for the Donald. How Trump does there will tell us what kind of night we’re in for, although neither is currently part of Clinton’s fabled blue state “firewall.” That’s a problem. Even if he wins both North Carolina and Florida on top of Ohio, Iowa, Georgia and Arizona, he’ll be at 259 Electoral Votes. Very close, but not quite Inaugural Address time. In that scenario, he’d have to cobble together a combination of Nevada (very possible), Colorado or New Mexico (less likely) and N.H. to win. So, unless he can outperform his polling across the nation and “steal” a Pennsylvania or Michigan (he trails in both), he will come up short. It’s just a matter of how short. In the end, we would bet on a Trump victory based on this analysis. However, we’ve also learned never to count out Donald or his supporters. Yet therein lies a central tradeoff of Trump’s candidacy – his outsider persona and populist stances widely appeal to a wide swath of the electorate. They also alienate an equally wide swath. Turning off Hispanics, women, and even traditional Republican groups in his brash run for the Republican nomination put him in a big hole. One has yet to show he can climb out of. For all of Clinton’s many flaws, and her own widespread unpopularity, she seems poised to eke this one out and make history Tuesday. Thoughts? Comments? Votes? Hit it! And the Winner is?
