Oh lord, CHRISTMAS CAME EARLY THIS YEAR, GUESS WHAT WE GOT?

COAL!

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/trump-debate-hypocrites-republicans-229408

In other news the little top stories box on the side? I read "Turmoil reigns at Trump Tower" as "Trump resigns at Turmoil Tower" so, ha ha, politicslexia!

[WealthyRadish]

Unless this debate has a serious chance of causing world destruction this does not deserve to be classed as a happening

Trump threatens to blab on national television about that topsekret info he got from the FBI or whatever a while ago, if people don't accept his apology. Obama dronestrikes the building because we don't negotiate with terrorists, but Hillary collapses on the way out, going into labor with P'Lod's love child (the only survivor). With no successor to the nation alive, P'Lod's people invade the planet to press his claim. Following an emergency election by referendum, with the entire political elite and 95% of the country obliterated, Ron Paul still doesn't win.

Thanks misko. I was reading through the pages from my last post and it started to blur together.

Oh sure, a fucking giraffe makes that joke, comedy gold, I talk about an apocalypse where Stein is literally the only eligible person left alive and give her 45% odds of winning, don't even get crickets. T.T

Fuck it, I'm far too amused by the Trumpening to care.

Oh god he seriously dragged reporters in, sat at a table with the women Bill did shit with, ignored the reporters asking about the shit he did, and the debate is in less than an hour.

Is it too late to buy stocks in popcorn futures?

So guys and gals, tell me: are you guys worried that Trump's arguments about Bill Clinton will have any strength? I know the conventional wisdom is going dirty with Bill is a bad idea, but is there any way he wins points or damages Clinton by doing this? I hope Clinton has a very, very solid idea of how to respond, because he's clearly telegraphed his strategy ahead of time.

Surely Hillary could just drop Bill if the attack caused real wounds, the attack on Bill would have to implicate Hillary in some complicity to have any logical effect. Maybe emotional taint, but not enough to sway people who didn't already agree with Trump
Hillary's response would be pretty obv:

Lol at my newspaper's political cartoon of today.

Remember, if you die of alcohol poisoning, Trump gets the last laugh.

welp, time to go to sleep

I hope I'll wake up to the glorious news of Trump getting trumped!

Could you explain to me what the evolutionary benefits of groping are?

It's called foreplay, and I don't think this is the appropriate forum to go into further detail on that subject.

Also, evolution is not always beneficial. Rather evolution is completely random, and far more frequently detrimental. In a survival-of-the-fittest scenario, it tends to be the fittest random change that survives. However, when species start to thrive, and no longer need to excel in order to procreate, evolution starts to produce changes that are less beneficial and more...weird.

I misunderstood your point. You're saying to overcome those impulses, one must acknowledge them where they exist. What does acknowledgement entail?

In this specific scenario, it means recognizing that Trump's statements are not the desires of some freakish sociopath who is thinking things no normal person would think. His ability to control his impulses, or at least avoid talking about them, might be somewhat below the standards our society imposes, but otherwise his sexuality is essentially normal. And returning to my original point, this means that his recent audio clip is of relatively little consequence when compared to the other things he has said and done. And in particular, it is of little relevance to his capacity to serve as president.

It's never too late in your heart. It may be in your wallet, but not your heart.

I'unno misk. Depends on how he goes about it. I guess theoretically he might be able to manage... something. I'm not sure what, but *shrugs*

I wouldn't give good odds on it turning out well, though. Clinton's been dealing with that line of attack for well over a decade, and from operators both less and significantly more smooth than trump seems capable of. Would imagine him trying would be like a squirrel trying to hump an active wood mulcher.

Will say I'm wondering if security is going to be nearby, though. Could see trump snapping at some point during this.
