For the love of Christ, Morbs. Have you somehow failed to notice Trump's constant employment of news media for his own ends or is this just selective myopia? Oh, wait, never mind...

Not seeing an exact parallel as this 'employment' consists of He's Loud and Gets Ratings, but moving on...

Corey Robin on DT's "I'm smart cuz i don't pay taxes":

there’s a not so small current in American politics that would hear that, that Trump didn’t pay his taxes, and think, with him, that he was indeed smart for having outsmarted the system. And would want to align themselves with him as a result. In the hope that they too could learn these tricks some day or that they too could one day be rich enough not to pay their taxes.

This is a nation of conmen (and women), as everyone from Melville to Mamet has understood. A nation that dreams of, and longs for, the quick buck. The more crooked the path, the more glorious the payoff.

If there was any one point last night where I thought to myself, Trump is connecting with the voters, it was this.

anyway i eagerly await Clinton's election as it will be easy to dehumanize her again

The Hon. J. Piedmont Mumblethunder (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 28 September 2016 18:11 (seven years ago) link

I thought that was his best "connection" moment too but I assume there are plenty of these people too.

Donald Trump so captured Ron Townley’s attention as “an outsider ready to tear down the system,” just the one who might break the Washington logjam, the doer to build new airports and highways, that he was considering voting for him.

But Trump’s response Monday night when Hillary Clinton accused him of not paying a cent of federal tax left Townley appalled.

“That makes me smart,” Trump said, unapologetic and smiling, during the presidential debate, held in Hempstead, N.Y.

That comment caused a gasp in the hotel conference room where Townley and five other undecided voters in this ­battleground state were watching the debate.

“That’s offensive. I pay taxes,” said Townley, 52, a program ­director for a local council of governments.

“Another person would be in jail for that,” said Jamilla Hawkins, 33, who was sitting beside him in the Crescent conference room at the Embassy Suites in this city of 150,000 near Raleigh.

this country was founded on war profiteering, slavery and exploitation - so yeah.. also the way the economy is set up these days its hard to make a legit fortune without doing any of the above short of inventing something. the rest is just fucking people over.

Does he even pretend to be a leftist (whatever that means) anymore? He's just anti-Clinton, without actually being pro-anything, as far as I can tell.

Snippets of an adult film starring Machado are available on multiple free porn websites.

Just so I know how I'm supposed to react, but if Machado was in Playboy or a porn film, it's totally okay to keep calling her Miss Piggy, right?

They did sometime back, he mumbled about putting it in a blind trust so that he still knew what was going on with it or something.

She also wrote that when Trump shoved her hand it didn't hurt physically.

Undoubtedly because her hands are larger and stronger than Trump's.

There was a clip in the last Last Week Tonight about the Blind Trust. Neither him nor his kids seem to know what it is. The clip of his kid failing to understand the concept is quite funny.
