What's the most absurd thing you have seen brought out this election.

1) In Fl. they can fine and send you to jail for taking a selfie with your ballot but crooked Hillary can set up an illegal server and endanger classified material and no fine or jail time.

What is more absurd than that ?

An admitted sexual predator running for president as an authoritarian white nativist. Really doesn't get any more absurd.

If FBI chose to not recommend an indictment, that essentially means that no reasonable prosecutor would bring a charge against Clinton under the law and facts. So in essence, her actions were not illegal. You told us before his presser that Comey's integrity was beyond reproach. Not any more, since you didn't like his conclusion. Accept, deal with it and move on with your lives.

You feel that strongly about posting a selfie from the voting booth? Lemme guess who you follow.

I think you asked the wrong question because one would have to write a book about the absurd in this election, and I bet there are many authors already penning such a book.

Instead ask what's the most normal thing you have seen brought out about this election? I think it's a much easier question to answer.

When Trump jokingly said get that baby out of here, and it was headlined the next day. (Google 'get that baby out of here' and see the amount of articles about it).

One candidate imploring his voters to use their 2nd Amendment Rights against his opponent.

One candidate threatening to have the other opponent "locked up" if he wins.

One candidate insinuating that the other opponent's father was an accomplice to JFK's murder (primary).

One candidate admitting that he hasn't paid Federal taxes for two decades.

One candidate having a treasure trove of Watergate-esque/Nixonesque email information about his opponent and STILL NOT ABLE TO DEFEAT HER (http://www.270towin.com/)

The religious right, after years of lecturing the rest of us on morality, is backing a man who has been a New York city, pro-choice liberal for the majority of his adult life, who has no religion to speak of, and who would make a porn star their First Lady.

It doesn't get any more preposterous than that.
