2016, the year where american politics learned once and for all whether repeating something often enough makes it true.

[Frumple]

Yeah, pretty much. Has to be fascinating to some psych/sociologists... know there's been studies about that sort of thing but there's a ridiculous volume of field examples coming out of this election cycle. Christmas come early or somethin'.

[birdy51]

It is indeed utterly fascinating. It reminds me of someone who has been hypnotized... Very prone to suggestion and words just slip right out. I am not going to go as far to say that he has a disorder, but it is indeed intriguing.

That interview is the best trumpwreck I've seen so far. I keep thinking I'll get tired of hearing him prattle on endlessly, but it's always freshly absurd and hilarious.

[PTTG??]

looking forward to the Green Party national convention. It'll probably be better broadcast than most.

It explains why politics is so bad.

So that's why every goddamn YouTube political video comment section is filled with pro-Trump shills...

Though there certainly are a lot of people in USA who're genuinely on that level of dialog. How else would Trump have 40% voter support?

That's a pretty big relief to be honest

Maybe they just don't like Hillary

Fuck Putin. Actual lay Russians? I'm probably ok with you. Your language is confusing as hell and I nearly failed a class trying to learn it, but at least it and Russian culture was interesting. But seriously, fuck Putin.

It appears that we're entering 24/7 Trump news cycle, cuz he and his devoted supporters keep doubling down on the most inflammatory shit possible:

Trump first tweeted that “Captain Khan, killed 12 years ago, was a hero, but this is about RADICAL ISLAMIC TERROR and the weakness of our ‘leaders’ to eradicate it!”

And then: “I was viciously attacked by Mr. Khan at the Democratic Convention. Am I not allowed to respond? Hillary voted for the Iraq war, not me!”

Late Sunday, Trump supporters, including longtime adviser Roger Stone, circulated unsubstantiated accusations from an anti-Islam website about Khizr Khan. Stone tweeted a link to a post that, among other things, accuses Khan of being a “Muslim Brotherhood agent who wants to advance sharia law.

I don't even know what to add here.

honestly i'm starting to like Hillary, in kind of a patronizing "i feel bad for her" kind of way

she's not at all media savvy, so she gets vilified in the media, and everyone thinks she's a liar when she's apparently one of the most honest politicians, and i'm starting to think she'd actually be one of the better presidents in recent times, at least in terms of what their policies are and how often they'd be able to get them implemented

plus she seems to change her mind based on the facts so that's good in a policy maker

I love that Americans are try to pull out anything from their asses to show the things in different light, because they are to embarrassed that so many of them support Trump. Its really gold and funny as hell. 

[RedKing]

Should we start a betting pool as to how long before Mike Pence says "fuck this, find another VP"?

It's only been a couple of weeks, and he's already twice had to issue statements pretty much directly opposed to what Trump is saying. First, regarding Trump's call for Russia to hack Hillary's email, and now over the counterattack on Khizr Khan.

Also wondering at what point Trump just snaps and starts screaming obscenities into the microphone while flinging poo.

[smjjames]

Oh man, that whole Trump's interview is utterly hilarious. It's like a stream of consciousness.

she (Hillary) couldn't beat Bernie

What, no transcript? (not at you sergarr) Also, it's been refreshed apparently, like five minutes ago.

Yeah, it's like 'why are they even picking a fight with this family?' they also want out of this controversey.

I can only imagine him randomly picking a twitter fight with some leader that he felt that insulted him in some way, totally and utterly unpresidential.

To people outside the US, can you imagine your leaders picking a fight with other leaders the way Trump does? I doubt it.

At this point I shouldn't really be surprised by anything Trump says but.....my god, what a pussy. "Oh boo hoo there's gonna be a football those nights. THAT'S UNFAIR."

And then claiming the NFL sent him a letter agreeing with him, when they flat out denied that? When are people going to get sick of just simply the bald-faced lying his campaign does? I will be rooting for Hilary to crush this buffoon during the debates.
