Trump's obsession with Kerry's bicycle accident is weird and funny and super revealing about his entire worldview. He honestly believes that the essence of politics is two or more personalities trying to dominate each other in a paneled conference room and whoever is the biggest bully gets what he wants. Kerry showing up to the table with a broken leg was a sign of weakness and directly responsible for the US getting the short end of the deal

Jesus Christ, this starts out funny, then goes into, "Woah, I guess he does say that a lot", then becomes a surreal nightmare. It's like a weird form of tourettes he has. I can't even parse what the implications of this are

OctoberBlues posted:That election sounds pretty interesting, any book recommendations on it? It appears that Eisenhower won the New Hampshire primary as a write-in candidate? And that Taft was ahead of Eisenhower in actual primary votes 36%-26% before the convention shenanigans. Prior to 1972, the primaries were much less important and the real work of picking the nominee happened at the convention. Ike wasn't a declared candidate during many of those early primaries. In fact, he wouldn't even say he was a Republican! Here's a good two-part podcast about the 1952 Republican nomination: http://www.slate.com/articles/podcasts/whistlestop/2015/04/sen_robert_taft_of_ohio_battles_with_gen_dwight_d_eisenhower_for_the_1952.html http://www.slate.com/articles/podcasts/whistlestop/2015/04/sen_robert_taft_of_ohio_battles_with_gen_dwight_d_eisenhower_for_the_1952_1.html

'Thinly-veiled' doesn't seem to be a Trump personality trait. Along with subtlety and not saying the first thing that crosses your mind.

I love the idea that Trump has a personal grudge against hedge fund managers and wants to tax them out of spite. I expect that to gain more traction then a progressive pledging to tax them out of economic fairness, While accepting campaign donations from Wall Street firms.

Yeah, except that as Joementum mentioned, Trump also loves to talk about what a great guy Carl Icahn is. So I'm taking his anti-hedge-fund proclamations with a pretty big grain of salt.

You're trying to come off as cynical, but don't understand that they'd already have replaced workers with checkout machines if they felt the savings represented by cutting an employee were worthwhile. I mean I'm sure plenty say they'll do that. People make silly threats when they don't get what they want. You're just naive enough to fall for their bullshit, and it's cute.

Boosted_C5 posted:Thank God. The nearest grocer to me has a bank of 6 self-checkout stations right next to a set of about 8 "traditional" checkout lines. Without fail the "traditional" lines are packed, regardless of what the load on the self-checkouts is during busy times. The self-checkouts are mainly used by people who'd otherwise just use the express line. Judging by how stupid and apparently incompetent people are at reading and following basic instructions, and at how easily these machines malfunction, I must say that if they were all self-checkout I'd probably eventually snap and commit a mass murder when some moron with a week's worth of groceries drools and shits himself through a checkout for half an hour.
