Curb Your Authoritarianism? The 2016 Conventional Wisdom Thread (Elections, Part 6)

See?

this is sick and weird

yeah this is super fascist

this is why it is the constitution that all trials are to be performed by angry mobs

Christie's prosecution would be much more effective if he had an empty witness chair and an empty jury box on stage as props.

if you really want to go down the road of praising dictators there is that matter of trump blatantly praising many of them

Some of these jury instructions are very wordy.

are they indicting the clenis right now

Typical white ppl - can't even chant in rhythm

do they not know how terrible this looks???!! not joking about the witch trial! that's what this is! what are they thinking???

anyone shouting at furniture yet like eastwood did?

Christie just indicted the Ottoman! (ie: Hillary) (amirite)

its funny cause christies prob gonna face a jury soon

if you really want to go down the road of praising dictators there is that matter of trump blatantly praising many of them

google Hillary + Mubarak, could be fun

Trump winery up!

No, but Chris Christie did some excellent reenactments of various scenes from The Verdict and 12 Angry Men.

CNN just quoted Daria on the Witch Trials...

Salem witch trial evoked by CNN commentator re Christie!

xpost!

if they want to toss the entire convention into the cuyahoga and see if it floats, i have no objection

Just for laughs, they should have hired a few extras and reprised Carson's bumbling debate entrance.

seriously uh.. i had the sound off b/c didn't seem interesting, turned up the volume and the first thing i heard was talking about lucifer?? what??

Ben Carson: Hillary Clinton's role model "acknowledges Lucifer" https://twitter.com/CNN/status/755595090152808449

lol he was talking abt Saul Alinsky i guess

republicans r so horny for that guy

i'm v horny for him too it's ok

do they have her standing in front of a green screen for assisting photoshoppers or what

he must be so hott

gotta say I love what Hillary is doing on Twitter right now

is she praising the great works of satan or what

also I loved how Carson followed up Christie's witch trial by literally calling Hillary lucifer

come to think of it Don Jr. was by far the best tonight. we should elect him.

hillary's role model is Euronymous

so all the overhead shots seem to imply that this whole convention has been very sparsely attended

like I said, you can hear it in the applause

best thing tonight was probably Eric Andre getting a bunch of screentime during Carson's speech

David Axelrod's very good on strategy: he's perplexed they put Carson and Lucifer on after the son.

they got the order wrong last night too

did the nyt not have a single editor who refused to believe this phrase currently has a non-dirty usage

Donald Trump’s Convention: Day 2
All About Hillary

By FRANK BRUNI

At his own banquet, Donald Trump is getting sloppy seconds.

Whoever sabotaged her speech is throwing her under the bus now http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/07/20/us/politics/melania-trump-convention-speech.html

feel kind of bad for tiffany trump. she just wants to use snapchat and hang out on yachts with other heiresses but now she's forced to go on tv to defend the indefensible

fucking lollll

i wonder if i died and this is hell

Is that for real?

In hell Morbius would keep popping up and saying how stupid you are for hating Satan when Mephistopheles and Lucifer are actually worse because they're such hypocrites, maaan

i wonder if i died and this is hell

You will find the answer to your question in AAD's Rough Guide to the Infernal Regions.

supposedly the american conservative guy was the speechwriter, so he was only copying himself

So for the record: buckley cowrote junior's speech
But still very funny.

Guarantee that was a rewrite in the hopes of defusing the melania deal
