how's life, it's fine. outside of o'hare being a complete shitshow for reasons mostly unrelated to the facilities, my flying experience has been fine. even the security line at 6AM at said airport, one of the busiest in the country, was maybe 20 minutes? honestly a few airlines are having all kinds of issues with an inability to address delays and cancellations in any reasonable way but that's not really a problem with the facilities

note that Trump has a private jet and, afaik, would never go into the terminal. so he's either complaining about having to wait for lots of air traffic (which indicates a healthy air transport/travel industry?), or his own damn hangar. maybe the saudis let him disembark in a gold-lined hangar, idk

O'hare's always been a shitshow.

I mean just to look at

content is pretty ugly too tbf

he hasn't updated the site layout since the clinton era iirc

LOLed so hard when, after successfully conjuring Serious Trump for the first 5 minutes, he immediately got goaded by the first thing she said about him and switched back

also there were a couple moments my friend and I caught where Trump was nodding approvingly to Hillary bashing him, and then suddenly caught himself and stiffened up

There's always something unfair with Trump, it's never his own fault. When he returns from his first trip to Russia, and reveals he had to agree to hand over Alaska, he will be 'They gave me a small chair, it was so rigged, you wouldn't believe. Now, I'd like to think the best of Putin, but it was not good, I tell you.'

someone on facebook wrote something like: it must suck when you really need to go to the bathroom to do another bump of coke but you're in the middle of a Presidential debate.

- Some video with a blue curtain (??) where Hillary is laughing or acting crazy, not quite sure I caught what this was about

This would be the teleconference to the Laborers' International Union, last week, I guess? It doesn't have a blue curtain, but he's not a details person.

all of his "pro negotiation tactics" are him strongarming people until they do what he wants, and then never doing business with them again

do you think a contractor who does $20k worth of work, only for Trump to say "I'll give you $5k or you get nothing" is ever going to work for him again? how does that play out when the other party is South Korea?

just told my friend I questioned the utility of "fact check" websites because you need something to be stated as an objective truth or a point of fact in order to validate it

Trump's stance on Iraq is the weirdest thing. He's against the war (now), but for taking its oil? So, the war was unjustified, but there's nothing wrong with pillaging the country?

jmm, Tuesday, 27 September 2016 15:54 (seven years ago) link

I kind of wanted to know what the logistics were regarding "take the oil" but on the other hand I just fucking can't

dr. mercurio arboria (mh 😏), Tuesday, 27 September 2016 15:54 (seven years ago) link

like does he think we can back up a big truck into the middle of a sovereign country, use some giant pump to remove all of the oil from a well, and then load it on to a ship and take it home

dr. mercurio arboria (mh 😏), Tuesday, 27 September 2016 15:55 (seven years ago) link

yes

I keep seeing transcripts of interviews Kellyanne Conway's been giving today, and at this point I'm just waiting for her to peel off her mask revealing Baghdad Bob. I mean, the way she just bulldozes through people's questions is breathtaking.

Trump is exactly like a little kid denying he ate the cupcake with icing smeared all over his face. I just want to keep asking any parents who might consider voting for Trump: do you really want the fucking president setting that kind of example for your kids? Really?!

the insertion of Machado at the last minute was really pretty genius on Hillary's part, I think. It was something that took him by surprise, made him look bad, and also served as irresistable bait for him to shoot himself in the foot with over the next couple news cycles. If she'd brought it up earlier it might have gotten buried and Trump might have overlooked it (or addressed it and moved on) - as it is he feels compelled (once again) to pick a fight with a sympathetic figure, making himself look terrible in the process, and distracts him from attacking Hillary. Hillary set it up to exploit his worst qualities, and it worked.
