I've had people say it's a hardening, actually ~ US presidential election 2016 part 9/11 never forget

link?

xp

he did a kiss ass interview and played with trumps hair

hey Trump hosted SNL he must be all right, right? all just a bit of fun!

Fallon is, perhaps counterintuitively to Clint, the nadir of Eastwood's "pussy generation" label

(except Fallon is actually what, about 44? he just entertains the post-funny cohort)

Fallon's always been a vacuum to me, an eager to please hack

At what point exactly is someone going to come back from the future and put a stop to all of this?

I just watched a Futurama episode about that (granted it was Nixon running, not Trump)

does this mean you're going to quote the Nixon on Twitter

*waggles jowls*

I appreciate Fallon's chummy & genial 'hey, we're all just people, and people are okay in my book!' interview style. I found his interviews with Pol Pot and John Wayne Gacy really charming.

That was peak Jimmy Fallon.

tbf Trump probably gave Fallon a fuckton of blow

stage that he made announcement from has collapsed.

Darn! Next time try the log on the rope or the spike pit with hay on top

I kinda wonder if this stunt will hurt him w his hardcore racist/tea party/alt-right moron base

It seems unlikely but still

Trolling the MSM-illuminati-rothschild-CNN? They'll love it I'm sure.

@tinyrevolution
The best part of the Trump presidency will be Bill Clinton following his natural instinct to ingratiate himself with him

"Unlike some of my friends, I believe there are many positive things about Donald & we have to be honest about that"

this is Trump's "pivot" towards the center isn't it

At least until he starts waffling, by let's say...tomorrow?

so uh this happened: http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/donald-trumps-birther-pr-stunt-beset-by-chaos-stage-co-1786716861?utm_campaign=socialflow_deadspin_facebook&utm_source=deadspin_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow

wow

I think this guy is the only journalist working right now

trump won't last five seconds with his new "more moderate" stance if he gets the slightest hint that the base doesn't like it

or, this will happen https://twitter.com/BenjySarlin/status/776838776605773824

@BenjySarlin Harambe Shrugged.

what happened with cnn though? meltdown over what?

they aired what amounted to a free campaign ad under the guise that Trump was going to speak on the birther shit . so pretty much what they have been doing for over a year now.

jesus

this was discussed earlier in thread, but the nyt actually calls this a 'lie' for once

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/17/us/politics/donald-trump-obama-birther.html

The essential question — why promote a lie? — may be unanswerable. It might not matter. He kept doing it.

YEAH WHY PROMOTE A LIE MEDIA I AM CONFUSED

press seems genuinely pissed about this, I predict a few days of bad shit for Trump after they've been playing nice over the last couple weeks

like the NYT and WaPo headlines both changed from "Trump Says Obama was born in US" to some variation of "Trump lies and manipulates stuff"

the times has the word "lie" on the front page for what seems like the time this campaign (ever?)

yup

what did he say after that? xxp

Congressional Black Caucus had a moral-witness rally covered by CNN in the last hour. Such events will be easier for them once Charlie Rangel is consigned to oblivion in about 100 days.

I fully expect the Trump campaign to start using this new Attila song as their theme in the run-up to the debates.

doesn't matter if they call what he says it's a lie, it's the new york times, they're totally biased remember

it's true they don't write good

some people have a way with words and others... oh, not have way, I guess

Im impressed that after arguably trumps best week he wraps it up with this cock up of an event and pissing off his press pool

doesn't seem like a smart move if he aspires to extend his constituency beyond white people

p.s. he's a racist liar

nyt has been a fucking shonda this election

It's totally in character. He is perpetually his own worst enemy. 99% of everything that has hobbled his chances of winning this election is directly attributable to something he himself has said or done or not done. So, to that extent, god bless him.

I am curious about the wider effect on his polling this will have - can see it being interpreted as a "see, he's reasonable!" moment (a la McCain dressing down crank lady at that Q&A) by GOP fence-sitters. It does strike me as likely that the alt-right will just see this as sleight-of-hand/he's still one of US! So maybe good for him...? idk
