GalacticAcid posted:Lil B The Based God has changed his endorsement from Hillary to Bernie Sanders. I feel like it's worth pointing out that CNN waited until Bernie filled up three stadiums with 15,000+ people to make this into a "story" (since the endorsement came in a month ago), so maybe this is a sign the narrative is shifting? Is The Sandstorm really happening? :bernget:

I'm not convinced the Megyn Kelly tiff wasn't planned from the start. The negative reaction from the right was unplanned, like Eric Erickson and the poo poo people are giving him now, but Fox knows their audience. Ailes knows that the average Fox viewer is a 70-something who pines for 'the good old days' and wants to see women's skirts on screen. And they lapped that answer up so hard, they don't see anything wrong with calling women pigs. It was all about getting this stuff out in the open now and solidifying him. The real question is whether they actually want Trump as president.

Nessus posted:We were not, presumably, compelled to get involved, and our attack hurt a lot of folks, particularly in Serbia, who perhaps did not deserve to get their chemical plants and so forth blown up. Javier Solana was and is not an American and NATO-resolved airstrikes to halt an ongoing humanitarian crisis and enable the insertion of peacekeepers certainly isn't the same as invading Iraq based on an absolutely fabricated pretense. It's a war of choice in the sense that Clinton assented to supporting the NATO mission over the country, assuming "war of choice" encompasses wars not invited by US action.

We'll know for sure once he names Vince McMahon as his running mate.

Nessus posted:Kosovo for the first. I imagine the latter means "the prison system," which is not exactly untrue, but is kind of a deliberate misreading of the point. I doubt even Bernie Sanders is going to abolish prisons, even if he reforms them substantially. Kosovo was a straight up genocide. When we said 'never again', we should have meant it. Clinton was willing to follow through on that promise, on this occasion. This is a horrible example.

There has supposedly been a power struggle lately in Newscorp after Murdoch supposedly bumped Ailes from the line of succession in favor of one of the Murdoch sons. Murdoch is on record of being very opposed to Trump's candidacy while Trump and Ailes are close personally. It's very possible to imagine a scenario where Murdoch ordered Trump be taken out and Ailes granted his wish like an evil genie and ran the clumsiest hatchet job imaginable in a way that would just bolster Trump's support and force the network to stop after they got enough hate mail and boycott threats. Ailes ratfucking his employer out of spite and enabling the GOP to destroy itself as a result would be the best possible outcome of all this and is also completely plausible so I'm choosing to believe that's where all of this is heading.

I think Megyn has given Trump an easy out, frankly. All he has to do is agree to disagree and say the viewers are free to make their own choice (and bring up, again, the support he's received against her). I'd have a lot more respect for her if she had been equally ready to hold everyone's feet to the fire, frankly, but it seemed like she really was targeting Trump more than other candidates. I don't know if that really represents good journalism, and even if it does in another context, I'm not sure that's the role for a debate moderator. If they want to sink Trump, they shouldn't keep handing him things he can pretend he ought to be aggrieved about. He's the Chinese finger trap of candidates.

Yeah this kind of surprises me, how did so many goons not know that Trump was already a WWE superstar? Vince McMahon's character is a parody of Trump and he's not even the only character in wrestling that that statement applies to, which is why Trump keeps getting asked back to wrestling events. The dude will do literally anything for money and doesn't care how anyone perceives him. He is a heel in real life.

I should have made a bigger distinction and said "invasion" rather than just "war."
