The debt is good, we should continue growing it until someone starts demanding more than 0% on our sovereign debt

i like the idea that if you take "100% of all the rich people's money" it won't make a dent in the national debt, like we need to write a four comma check to fix this problem and rich people can't do it so what are we gonna do y'all WHAT'RE WE GONNA DOOOOO
dang i need a jelly roll

what happens if u ask these debt nuts what the consequences are for not addressing the debt problem - do they just go immediately to inflation or... our creditors i guess showing up and just being like 'we're repossessing your country' and we can't do anything just millions of americans sobbing as they leave their homes bc the US gov just didn't care enough about our debt

Mordy, Wednesday, 28 September 2016 02:22 (seven years ago) link

lots of people consider debt of any kind to be an ethical issue which is well and truly nuts but it's a real thing amongst americans

lol i noticed that when it happened, awkward

Nhex, Wednesday, 28 September 2016 02:37 (seven years ago) link

xp: The issue is mainly that public debt competes with private uses for the same money. Which is fine if the public debt is mostly for capital expenditures that produce more future wealth (education, research, infrastructure), not so good (in fact, unsustainable) if debt is being used to pay for other uses like excess military spending or pensioners.

The U.S. has a long way to go before our public debt to GDP ratio (107%) reaches the truly scary levels seen in Japan (245%). Endgame of course is to just devalue the currency, which is a disaster for those working in finance or buying imported goods, but pretty good for everyone else.

LOL I'm surprised I didnt hear about that caption snafu, a friend of mine does cc for one of the networks and often posts lulz related.

The debate had so many things going on that I didn't see anyone call out Hillary for not wearing a flag pin until just now. YA SLIPPIN

Trump did shake Holt's hand like two seconds after that clip ends.

So many other things to hit him with, why manipulate anything else?

pplains, Wednesday, 28 September 2016 04:51 (seven years ago) link

trump said so many bizarre things that i didn't even have time to go wtf at some of them

in any other debate, a candidate saying that general douglas macarthur wouldn't approve of his opponent's website would have been all anybody was talking about for days, but this is just another few seconds in trumpland

Haha, I'd forgotten about General MacArthur.

does Trump maybe have a terminal illness and this is his perverse way of living it up until he shuffles off?

Vic Berger can edit and manipulate anything he wants to. If I remember anything from this year, it'll be of that air horn going off.

1. I didn't know that George Soros funds the Bureau of Land Management

2. Caption switch reminds me of the times that the Far Side and Dennis the Menace got their captions switched. Both times, it improved both cartoons.

wookin pa nub (Ye Mad Puffin), Wednesday, 28 September 2016 13:22 (seven years ago) link

Hahaha, yeah I thought the same thing. Love that. Actually saw a Prehistory of the Far Side for sale on the street yesterday and almost got it. So classic.

re: trump's flared-nostril ape dominance thing, SURELY this is some bullshit business-guy theory on how you win deals or whatever, right? I can just hear the bestselling negotiating advice book in my head, ''deep down everyone still has these primal instincts'' but YOU can use them consciously to DOMINATE the meeting/pack/whatever

Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 28 September 2016 14:43 (seven years ago) link

If trump used computers he'd be on PUA forums all day long

slathered in cream and covered with stickers (silby), Wednesday, 28 September 2016 14:46 (seven years ago) link

Prehistory of the Far Side is the best. I don't know where mine is. It probably disintegrated at some point.

No, DC, it's just how bullies instinctively behave. Remember, we're talking about people who don't read books and are generally proud of it.

Operatives in Brooklyn had been working with Machado since the summer. They had a video featuring her story ready to go. Cosmopolitan had a photo spread of her draped in an American flag – to go with a profile – in the can. Machado had also conducted an interview with The Guardian that was “apparently embargoed for post-debate release,” according to Vox. And the Clinton super PAC Priorities USA turned a digital ad to highlight the insults by early afternoon.

The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 28 September 2016 15:10 (seven years ago) link

As someone who's been in the public eye for decades and seems to know how to use mass media to his advantage, it's astounding to me how easily Trump allows himself to be so thoroughly owned a la the Machado deadfall.

This is where the oppo team has been, I guess. We were wondering!

and it's pretty much righteous, it highlights a fucking intolerable aspect of trump's persona which remains totally unreconstructed

I wish you could see my home. It's... it's so... exciting (Jon not Jon), Wednesday, 28 September 2016 15:23 (seven years ago) link

can someone please photoshop her flag shot from cosmo into a faux robert ludlum cover from the 80s

Anacostia Aerodrome (El Tomboto), Wednesday, 28 September 2016 15:25 (seven years ago) link

Actually, this isn't that astounding to me. Trump thinks chess is just checkers with fancier pieces, and he thinks checkers is a game where you move all of your pieces to the other side of the board on your first turn and flip the board while chanting 'USA! USA!'

Gravy Spill in the Gravitron (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 28 September 2016 15:34 (seven years ago) link

Let's keep in mind that Trump has no organization. I don't think they've got opposition research and it's too late to pay for any.
