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.

"I shall refresh!"

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

We all do, buddy.

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.

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

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

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.

I bet she was like "ok time to bait the hook" at the end and then was amazed at how eagerly he dove for it

I don't have much use for Jonathan Chait usually but this is hilarious:

Unlike the previous allegations, he did not deny them, but instead burst out — three times! — ‘Where did you find this?’ I have seen villains in Disney movies presented with damning evidence react this way, but I have never seen an actual human being do it, until now.

though she denies it to the press, (Joan Crawford Loves Chachi), Wednesday, 28 September 2016 15:45 (seven years ago) link

Of course Cosmo is running w this too. This is gonna show up in every grocery rack "women's" magazine.

woah, she's bad at geography and modeled for playboy?? colour me shocked

Trump should hire this guy to go on cable news imo:

Kevin Herman • an hour ago
She gained 50lbs while serving as Miss Universe. Miss Universe is pretty much 100% about looks. To go from Skinny to obese while serving as Miss Universe is totally unacceptable. She had a responsibility to stay fit during that time frame. This is a non story this woman obviously loves the spotlight and agitating. Smart women voters will not be fooled by this tempest in a teapot.

What's amazing about the Miss Universe thing is that he knew exactly who she was talking about. For a shithead who knows nothing, he sure has a long memory.

The most beautiful part of the Machato reveal was that, rather than attempting to do any damage control in the wake of the debate, Trump doubled down about how awful the woman was. It was like making an incisive public point about the racism of your opponent, who then immediately starts slathering on blackface.

xp see also: the way most Trump supporters reacted to the "deplorable" comment

frogbs, Wednesday, 28 September 2016 16:35 (seven years ago) link

I mean, at this point, why not just say, "Trump and his supporters don't care about anything or anyone and would be delighted to watch the earth burn and dance in the ashes afterward." They'd hoot and holler 'fuck yeah, we would!' Don't mince words. Paint them as dangerous lunatics and let them proudly run with the depiction.

My mother in law just posted some drivel about how Hillary used secret hand signals to get Lester Holt to help her during the debate. The right-wing mind is truly a mystery.
