How soon to the debate?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

T-minus 30 minutes, I think.

[TheBiggerFish]

Right.  I had best prepare, then.

In addition to the IIRC channel, this debate will feature a bingo server that I just set up on roll20:

Any good livestreams? You know, without annoying commentators?

Ok explain this then :
One million dollars from Qatar for Bill's consulting company birthday.

The man attached his name to a foundation so that his fame could be leveraged to solicit donations exactly like this.

And remember, in 2008, Hillary's reported net worth was minus 8 millions dollars. Today, it's 31 millions dollars.
That's a lot of speaker fees.

As pointed out you were wrong about the 2008 net worth.
Yes, it is a lot of speaker fees.  It's also a lot of book sales.  Because she is a person who people would pay money to hear speak and buy the book of.  Because she is an interesting person in very high demand.

Now I have a question of you:
Will you take these explanations, you have just found yourself crying wolf.  Will you accept that maybe you were crying wolf other times?  Or will you insist that you being wrong this time has no bearing on all the other times and you were right all those times as well?

This by the way is why I hate Bernie Sanders.  Yes there is truth to the idea that elite individuals like Hillary Clinton occupy a position of privilege.  Not only should be pay close attention to how they use that privilege, we should consider the idea we allow such positions in the first place.  But it is a radically different idea to be concerned about elitism and throw around words like corruption.  When you talk about corruption you make people think that people like Hillary Clinton are enriching themselves at the expense of the public.  Even when Clinton is acting altruistically she is attacked that way.  The Sanders campaign created an ugly monster and we are going to be stuck with it for a long time.  But people are so caught up in this mythical Saint Sanders that his legend will keep feeding the monster.  He could, if he cared, kill the monster that he created but he wont for whatever reason.  Maybe because it would invite upon him the sort of anger he has unleashed on other people.

... your word view is so warped it's not even funny.

No going from minus 8 millions dollars to 31 millions dollars as a public servant (in declared assets) is not ok.
No getting one millions dollars of donations from a foreign power is never ok. Yes accepting money from financial institutions is always at best a conflict of interest, but usually corruption, even if you call that speaker's fee.


And Sanders is a non-phenomenon.

I like this campaign ad.

I do as well.  There is something hypnotic about a gun coming together like that.

You can tell he's a pro from the bolt snap.

Is anybody watching the debate?

[Sergarr]

Is anybody watching the debate?

I do. Moderator is the current winner.

[PTTG??]

I'm watching by proxy and it seems clear that Trump is aiming for a total breakdown of civil order when he loses.

[BorkBorkGoesTheCode]

Is anybody watching the debate?

I do. Moderator is the current winner.

Could the moderator be elected?

[Frumple]

Technically, yes. If enough people wrote him in.

[BorkBorkGoesTheCode]

Looked like Hillary wasn't smiling as much.

[Frumple]

Wasn't actually watching the video, myself, mostly. She sounded more cheerful, though.

Also learned over the course of this debate that Donald Trump body pillows are apparently a thing that exists. I think it made my life a little darker, a little sadder.

[Sergarr]

I will keep you in suspence- Donald Trump, on the question of whenever he will accept Hillary as POTUS.

Yeah he's calling for revolution come November 9th.
