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

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

my daughter's portrait of Trump from last night's debate

nice! she has the arm positions perfected

part of me kinda thinks god bless a seventy yr old billionaire who does coke just @ how fanciful and unrealistic it seems

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?

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

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

yes

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

lots of buckets, believe me. Lots of buckets. There'll be so many buckets. And Mexico will pay for them!

That would be implausible and capricious - Saudi Arabia will obviously pay for them.

I was for the war... but against the troops

"You need more police. You need a better community, you know, relation. You don't have good community relations in Chicago. It's terrible. I have property there. It's terrible what's going on in Chicago."

"And when I look at what's going on in Charlotte, a city I love, a city where I have investments..."

he's all heart.

Just now Rudy Giuliani kissed Adelsons ring. Literally. He appeared to be joking around, but it happened.

^last night, pre-debate

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.

Rudy Guiliani and an unidentified political donor, engaging in a little pre debate "joking around."

good drawing, but i shouldn't be able to tell the difference between his eyes and his mouth

I wish he would stop whitening his eye teeth

That's not his face, that is a face someone scribbled on his ass and placed over his neck.

i will do one piece of petty electioneering and ask you to vote in this poll

@RealAlexJones She is SO scripted & fed,He is so passionate/ready to lead. She won on style, HE WON on principle & leadership

WTF does that last sentence even mean? He's demonstrably free of principles and I have no idea who the fuck he's ever led.

you can log into twitter dot com and ask her if you want

Yes. Morbs found it undignified.

yeah, it actually made CBS's little twitter comments section on their screen!

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?!

That's re: the obvious and undeniable sniffing that he's currently denying.

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.

Might've been the weirdest part of the night:

^ That's normal speed, btw.

Clinton's made Machado the subject of a whole campaign video which is, I'm guessing, primarily aimed at Latina voters, since it's in Spanish:

There was only one thing I wished she'd have said, and that was during the bit about "how are you going to bring manufacturing jobs back?" It seemed like a great time to ask him where his ties are made.

He's been asked before and his answer is blah blah they devalued the currency blah blah, which is a terrible answer (not least because most people don't understand what it means).

Might've been the weirdest part of the night:

this needs to be synced with Pacino "whooooo-aaaah" stat

I wish she'd said black lives matter

(xp)

Xpost I've seen requests someone insert a bong.

Honestly, I don't know why Trump made overtures (however half-assed) to anyone but white people last night. Does he honestly not realize that he's lost a staggering percentage the non-white vote (probable answer: no, he probably does not realize either that fact or the fact that he's lost the election in large part because of that)?

And he constantly undercut his "outreach" (so much concern for the black community, but let's bring back stop and frisk!).

otm, he completely failed to expand the reach of his campaign, which was the one thing he really needed to achieve last night

Trump's overtures to black people aren't for black people, they're for guilty white people

that 2:00 clinton ad is so brutal

Giuliani - a man who cheated on his wife with a staff member - tearing into a woman who had to endure the same shit as his ex-wife. all class that guy. what a shitbag.

Dude literally answered a 'how to heal the racial divide' question with 'LAW AND ORDER' ffs

the Clinton affair stuff is really interesting as a political tack - does Team Trump really think that's going to cut into Clinton's support with women and shift women's votes over to Trump? As with the race stuff, it's a completely lunkheaded mis-reading of the audience, baffling in both its transparent hypocrisy and its likelihood to backfire.
