Tim Kaine, DNC, silly season, who knows

at this point Trump's vision of America reminds me of the sorts of rants that MRAs regularly go on, like yes there is some (minimal) internal logic there but the vision they describe in no way reminds me of the actual world we live in. I would imagine most of the people moved by the RNC are going to continue living in the actual world and forget why they were so angry come November *fingers crossed, pretty please*

Finally a new thread.

Can't believe (I mean, I can--he seems a tad vindictive) Trump is still wasting time on Cruz. Whatever you thought of the speech last night, the one tactical decision I thought was smart was not even mentioning Cruz. I assumed that was the last you'd hear of him. Now, if I understand the story correctly, Trump re-opens that.

shitty thread title

she took that orange thing down hardcore damn

isn't the obvious thing for Hilary to just say that 'America is still great - why does Trump think it's not? where's his patriotism?'

simple bit of logic to reply to that dumb as shit slogan of his

if trump stays on script for one day then necessarily hell explode the next cause of all the built up resentment

lol hes so nuts https://twitter.com/JGreenDC/status/756507351667007489

xxpost She has said exactly that.

depressed about thread title

I like the thread title, but maybe you had to be there

mike pence's expression is fucking priceless in that video

I guess maybe you kinda did, it was pretty great at the time xp

i think its good dont listen to the haters also every jokey long winded thread title is the worst

I like the hockey thread titles, never clicked on the hockey thread tho

Ornaldo sends his regards, so does the elephant.

re: that cruz/jfk clip, he really is bonkers, and he talks like he is bonkers, and how could anyone hear this man talk and not think, 'Dangerously Bonkers'

What is the reference in the thread title? It's not ringing a bell.

ORNALDO BLOOMPS FOR PRESIDETN

ORNALDO BLOOMPS FOR PRESIDETN

it's a reference to hal holbrook in all the presidetn's men

the ornaldo thread title was also the worst. however lagoon is otm long jokey thread titles are the co-worst.

DAMMNNN

All credit to emil.y

Hillary Clinton just said 'delete your account' on twitter to Trump and the internet exploded. What (old) meme should she use next?

did anyone watch the debate years ago when hildogg had to debate that dude for her first run for senate and all the republicans sent was some guy who sounded like mickey mouse and couldn't make a point to save his life?

kind of hope we get one of those at some point but it's prob not likely :(

re: that cruz/jfk clip, he really is bonkers, and he talks like he is bonkers, and how could anyone hear this man talk and not think, 'Dangerously Bonkers'

the way he moves and holds his body is like he's being controlled by a singularly inept puppeteer

ORNALDO BLOOMPS FOR PRESIDETN He took down that elephant thing HARDCORE. DAMMMNNN. is classic and still amusing to this day imo

Cruz's thing about Trump disrespecting his wife and father gives Cruz a (fleeting) Gary Cooper gravitas, and leaves Trump looking like Jack Elam.

i dont know who any of those ppl are are they canadian politicians?

it's a reference to hal holbrook in all the presidetn's men

Good one...the transposed letters are a little confusing in view of the thread title, but funny.

Jack Elam was briefly premier of Nova Scotia in the mid-'90s.

woow srsly fn affiliate marketing PartnerID=LINKSHARE&cm_mmc=LINKSHARE-_-5-_-63-_-MP563

true enough xp

That Manson excerpt is brilliant.

The purpose of that might be more to subtly make her look populist (see, a $138 dress from Macy's, not like that Clinton with her Armani!) than to get paid clicks.

naw if we know one thing abt the trump family business strategy its that its all penny ante

oh wait nm I see it's an Ivanka Trump BRAND dress, durr.

missed that

“They have a picture, an old picture, having breakfast with Lee Harvey Oswald. Now, I’m not saying anything. They said — and here’s how the press takes this story. So this has nothing to do with me. Except I may have pointed it out. But it had nothing to do with me! I have no control over anything! I might have pointed it out. But they never denied it. Did anybody even deny it was the father? Did anybody ever say, ‘oh, that’s not really my father’? That’s a little hard to do because it looks like him. So here’s the story. The press takes that and says, Donald Trump and his conspiracy theories. He went out and said his father was with Lee Harvey Oswald and he assassinated the president. What did I do?” “I know nothing about his father. I knew nothing about Lee Harvey Oswald. But there was a picture on the front page of the National Enquirer which does have credibility, and they’re not going to do pictures like that, because they get sued for a lot of money if things are wrong. Okay? A lot of money. And there’s a picture. And that’s the only thing I know.”

Amazing.

oh wait nm I see it's an Ivanka Trump BRAND dress, durr.

Possibly involved in double-murder.

wtf is going on with trump's eyebrows there

this is the worst thread title.

he had them gelled

There's a reason they call us the Greatest Generation.

apparently he missed that 'How Hil Became a Hawk' piece

crüt, there's more of President "Human Rights" Bullshit Jimmy Carter in you than i wd've suspected

mordy i think HRC was well on her way to bringing back foreign policy to a 'centrist' interventionist consensus no matter who the nominee was

i agree? but that doesn't mean that she owned the neoconservative vote. i think if anyone but trump had been nominated they would've stuck w/ endorsing the republican candidate. it does belie the nonsense idea that on fp there's no difference btwn the parties, or that hillary is a hawk in the same way that, eg, gwb or rubio/cruz are hawks.

notwithstanding all of the attendant politics, i just fucking hate people like this

the most fucked up small detail -- to me -- in this, is when he lies that a membership at his golf course costs $300,000 when in fact it's only $200,000.

now, on one level it's not a huge lie or that important but how fucking pathological and needless is this?? On one hand, you're not even inflating it that much to some sort of "milestone" number that would sound really impressive like "Memberships at my course start at half a million" or "Memberships at my course are a million"....it's just...300,000 instead of 200,000...

on the other hand, to any average person whether you say "Man fucking golf course membership costs $200K" or "man fucking golf course membership costs $300K" still is an insanely expensive thing to any normal person, so why bother to inflate it by 100K??

I don't know. I'm probably reading too much into this but like it just seems indicative of a guy who literally just lies and lies and lies out of habit more than anything.

US has been in the perpetual war business since they made such handsome profits from ww2. Its basically the business model of the USA now.

ah i grok now why i didn't see any of you at those Iraq marches *ho hum*

lol fuck you I was at marches in both SF and LA

the same ppl who say there's no diff on fp re war btwn the parties say we would've invaded iraq if gore had won in 2000. it's v silly.

yes, it's like a reflex. he just has to lie that everything is, idk a 50-100% bigger deal than it is! most people get over this past the age of 9 or when they're not fishing but here we are

Morbz, you know that the reason we've all let our stridency slip is that you are the most political. How could the rest of us ever compete? My own didacticism is but an impure whisper in comparison.

sorry i gave up 32 years ago, fooled ya

You certainly did.

when i give up on something i generally quit thinking and talking about it, rather than spending 95 percent of my time lecturing other ppl for not giving up on it, too, but i guess i haven't discovered true wisdom yet

it'll come

like i just did

TMI

on the keyboard and everything? damn man

Morbs' posting history comprises the longest koan in history. DO U SEE?

read that as "moan"

the same ppl who say there's no diff on fp re war btwn the parties say we would've invaded iraq if gore had won in 2000. it's v silly.

― Mordy, Wednesday, August 10, 2016 3:16 PM (32 minutes ago)

without taking a side in this debate, this would seem...logically consistent

good job on those marches morbs, really effective

oh, effective. that's a high bar

maybe if i was a 2nd-amendment person

can we all just get naked already

it was effective insofar as they allow morbs to claim the moral high ground. the only thing that counts.

i see no evidence that he cares about anything else.

Its a hil he can fight for

so I thought I found this on this thread but I guess I'm losing my mind? Anyway this was great reading imo

http://varianceexplained.org/r/trump-tweets/

no its in the thread somewhere lol

Someone start a new thread this one is almost at 6000 posts already and I'm ashamed of my title.

i accidentally said 'hillary climpton' to someone the other day but i continued on as if i hadn't.

O HLRY?

forecast*

it's hard to imagine that the poll isn't an outlier. what could possibly have happened over the last week that moved the electorate so significantly? maybe the new clinton foundation revelations? but are enough people really paying attention to that story to move all those voters over? (could be, i'm continually surprised by how much americans care about email servers.) you'd think ppl most likely to follow the 'scandal' and make a decision based on it already did so a long time ago.

this was a great thread title, silbs

agreed

I liked it too.

YOU GUYS HEY HEY HEY YOU GUYS

The Trump-NAMBLA thing (which many, many people have been talking about) just got a serious real-life shot in the arm. I'm watching the Maddow show right now, and they're talking about how yeah, Clinton had Dad Mateen sitting right behind her and therefore in most shots. Right-wingers were all like "nice vetting there lol, clearly she likes homophobic terrorist-breeders."

Okay, but at Trump's rally today? Who is in the shot but Mark Foley.

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/291061-former-florida-rep-mark-foley-seated-behind-trump-at

the trump-nambla thing is, if possible, even dumber and more self-satisfied than the drumpf thing

also there's a new thread

self-satisfied? Hil supporters?

careful there

Stress Over Family Finances Propelled Hillary Clinton Into Corporate World

this is like if they got one of the "What You Get For $2 million" authors to write a piece about Hillary Clinton's terrible struggles

Even some of Mrs. Clinton’s allies privately say they are mystified by her choice to make the Wall Street speeches, given the likelihood that they would become an issue in a presidential campaign. And to some of them, her financial moves clash with the selfless Methodist credo to do good for others that she so often says guided her toward a life of public service.

But her longtime friends say the contradiction is rooted in Mrs. Clinton’s practicality and the boom-and-bust cycles that have characterized her life with Bill Clinton.

At no time did those stresses fall more squarely on Mrs. Clinton’s shoulders than in the difficult two-year period in Arkansas when she and her husband found themselves cast out of office, financially strained and deeply uncertain about the future. And the memory of that time shaped her desire to be free from financial burden.

“Hillary had a couple years of the taste of what it means to be a working mother, without any help, to have to take care of a small baby and care for your job,” said James B. Blair, a close Clinton friend and lawyer who offered Mrs. Clinton investment advice in the 1970s.

http://i.imgur.com/wNcH3L7.jpg

It was one of the smallest houses on the block in Little Rock’s Hillcrest section, and Mrs. Clinton largely bought it with her own money, the month after that devastating 1980 election loss.

omg, poor hillary. what a DUMP

The Clintons had stretched their finances to afford the $112,000 home, which was down the hill from the city’s old-money mansions. The sprawling estate of Winthrop Rockefeller, the celebrated former governor, was so close that it practically cast a shadow on the Clintons’ grassy backyard.

aww man they had to live next to a mansion? it must have been so embarrassing to live next to an estate of a former governor, how did they do it?!

Mr. Clinton had turned down out-of-state job offers in academia and Democratic politics, and instead took the only offer he had in Arkansas, to serve “of counsel” for $55,000 a year at the Wright, Lindsey & Jennings law firm, where Mr. Clinton’s longtime adviser Bruce R. Lindsey was a partner.

But he spent most of his time on the road, often accompanied by Mr. Lindsey, trying to win back the hearts of voters.

i don't know how he did it. 55K a year in 1980, and all you do all day is travel around talking to people? fuck and gameboy wasn't even around, wtf, i take back everything i ever said about the clintons

Mrs. Clinton had become a partner at the Rose Law Firm in 1979, and during these lean years

i'll never forget my own lean years when i was having all of those tedious discussions about where my last name would be placed in my law firm's name. i mean i understand the argument for seniority but i was bringing in so many clients, i really should have been listed 2nd if not first. at any rate i sympathize with hillary here

“I’m not sure she ever planned to be a corporate lawyer,” said Lissa Muscatine, a friend and former chief speechwriter to Mrs. Clinton. But she did the work because “she had the earning capacity that he didn’t have as governor.”

i know the purple heart isn't traditionally given to civilians who were not wounded in combat, but can we make an exception here and give it to hillary clinton because i cannot believe these sacrifices

Two years later, the state increased the governor’s term to four years, and the Clintons’ finances appeared more stable. Mrs. Clinton went on to join the board of Walmart, and she continued to work at the Rose Law Firm. By the time Mr. Clinton was running for president, they reported $297,177 in total income on their 1992 tax returns, a sum that would put most Americans in the upper income tier but seemed meager compared with the wealth of his opponents, George Bush and Ross Perot.
