it = calling yourself deplorable in your twitter handle.

I've made the foolish mistake of occasionally commenting on the election campaign on Twitter of late and have found myself being hounded by idiots and liars who all have the word "deplorable" in their Twitter names.

even taken out of context, this seems p obviously to be trump clowning himself (or his "friend," who was "killed") for saying it ~wrong~

Trump 2016: An Expert At Interpreting Things

The Butthole, The Whole Butthole, and Nothing But The Butthole (Old Lunch), Thursday, 6 October 2016 12:58 (seven years ago) link

"Republicans must decide in the next few days, rather than weeks, whether to seek distance from his wobbly campaign"

they keep saying this but I think the time to make that decision is well past

Anyone see this? https://guccifer2.wordpress.com/2016/10/04/clinton-foundation/

First glance is a big "whatever" from me.

It looks like big banks and corporations agreed to donate to the Democrats a certain percentage of the allocated TARP funds.

This seems like a big leap in logic from the accompanying screencap of the spreadsheet

really curious what's gonna happen on Sunday. Trump's getting desperate and might completely tone himself down. and of course Clinton will do everything she can to needle him.

If he does tone down I hope Hil's got an alternate plan for how to make use of the debate time

Robby Mook (stevie), Thursday, 6 October 2016 14:53 (seven years ago) link

gotta hand it to Trump, he probably does have some very good people on staff in that they have to do their own jobs in addition to acting like they're doing as he says and making him think any changes were his idea if he starts to catch on

As has been hammered home time and time and time again, despite many people's erroneous assumptions that he operates like an adult human being who learns from his mistakes and is able to rein in his worst impulses at least for the sake of his own self-interest if for no other reason, Trump is constitutionally incapable of toning it down for any longer than it takes for someone to wound his amazingly fragile ego. Clinton so has his number.

there's generally a pattern to this, when Trump is doing alright in the polls he really lets loose, but when he's down he tries to reign it in a bit

I want to go to the town hall and lead a question with some very sympathetic words about his brother who died in 1981, and then after I get him nodding kind of slip in, "So, do you think maybe the wrong brother died?"

> not heard much from her lately

What we heard in July was that Alaska is rilly rilly far away and it's hard for her to get down here to the lower 48.

i wanna fly like a beagle (Ye Mad Puffin), Thursday, 6 October 2016 15:36 (seven years ago) link

Oh crap I just realized something: there's an international BORDER between here and Alaska.

And we all know planes can't go over international borders.

Which is why a border wall will work bigly.

QED.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2016/10/06/i-dont-like-hillary-clinton-or-the-democratic-party-im-voting-for-them-anyway

Telling detail:

On Aug. 2, a few days after the Democratic convention, I went to a Trump rally in Ashburn, Va. I was there interviewing protesters and Trump supporters who gathered outside the venue because the event had sold out, and they couldn’t get in. The protesters were mostly high school students — Muslim, Latino, black, Asian, white — and the Trump supporters were mostly white and older. Their exchanges were surprisingly respectful.

When the rally ended and Trump supporters who made it into the venue walked by, the mood shifted. The ones who had attended the rally were ready for a fight. One woman started yelling and cursing at the protesters. When I lifted my camera to film her, she grabbed the camera and tried to throw it down, screaming, “Put the f—ing camera down!” When my grip on the camera outmatched hers, she looked at me as if I were a piece of trash. While we stood and looked at each other, it finally hit me: We really are in danger. Although I was still disgruntled with the DNC and not enthusiastic about Clinton, I began to realize I couldn’t let Trump get near the White House.

Climate change legislation? What would that be? Do you think the government can pass laws to affect the weather? Do you really believe Mother Nature will comply? Or do you mean the government will pass laws to restrict my activities? Yeah, no, not something I am behind. Women have a choice. Don't get knocked up. Finances favor the wealthy. That's the perk of being rich.

I could almost stomach Trump as president if a hurricane leveled his palace.

the destruction of mar a lago would give trump a sweet excuse to skip the debate

carthago delenda est (mayor jingleberries), Thursday, 6 October 2016 17:34 (seven years ago) link

whether the damage is minimal or it destroys it completely, we can definitely count on Trump giving an utterly tone-deaf response

ROFL:

In a sunny sitting room where windows overlook the green sprawl of his property, Springsteen discusses the genesis of the book, his struggles with depression, the future of his career and much more, staying silent on only one topic. When I mention my horror at the sight of Donald Trump–endorsing New Jersey governor Chris Christie pumping his fist and singing along to the lines "poor man wanna be rich, rich man wanna be king" at a recent concert in Brooklyn, Springsteen laughs until he turns red. When he catches his breath, he says, "I have no comment."
