CNN posted:"His political career is over but for a miracle because he has so disrespected the will of the people, and as the leader of the GOP, the convention, certainly he is to remain neutral, and for him to already come out and say who he will not support is not a wise decision of his," Palin continued. This reads like it was translated from Farsi.

How much do you think McCain regrets unleashing Palin onto the world? You think he dwells on it every day?

So what is the limit for actually prosecuting someone for peeping? Because this is my nightmare and I am calling the cops if it happens.

I'm looking forward to the general presidential debates where Trump constantly cuts off Hillary and moderator Wolf Blitzer does nothing to get things back to quorum.

Trump is already calling on increasing taxes for the wealthy, when will people accept that Trump can unlike Romney, just shake the etch-a-sketch?

God drat I can't wait for the debates. Trump's ego will not be able to handle being talked down at by a woman who is more powerful than him. He will melt the gently caress down.

He hasn't actually changed his hilarious tax plan though, right? The one that costs $10 trillion over 10 years?

If he shakes the etcha-sketch too often people will literally just start to blank out anything he says. Trump has manipulated the media masterfully but media fatigue is a real thing.

His diehard supporters, who would accept whatever he says even if he went on stage and jerked off for thirty minutes? Republicans who are already ambivalent or nervous about supporting him, and ergo must have at least some faculties of reason? That minority of Bernouts who are willing to accept Trump because he's not Hillary? I think a lot of people confuse the outpouring of enthusiastic support from his base (that is plastered on every facet of the Media) for how he actually does in the general election. Remember guys: His disapproval ratings are the highest of any presidential candidate in recent history. He can't just shake the etch-a-sketch--that's what got people to hate him in the first place.

If Freep is any indication, Trump's base would indeed not give a gently caress so long as he keeps blowing the trumpet blaming other people.

I missed this a couple weeks ago, but In These Times published an article about the terrible working conditions at recycling yards. Strong combination of data and illustrative anecdotes. It's a depressing read.

Inglonias posted:Quick question for the Politics thread. here's one way it's full of crap. The last few centuries have seen a frankly ludicrous number of economic booms and busts, a lot more than 3. A lot of those busts were apocalyptic by modern standards, more comparable to the Great Depression than anything we know today. A lot of wealthy people lost their shirts on the regular. But only a handful of those events were associated with large political upheavals. Another way is the allusions to history; urban cultures typically collapsed because of huge famines, huge plagues, or genocidal war. Sometimes all three! Greed rarely entered into it. If an article reads WE'RE DOOMED and at the bottom it reads BUT YOU CAN HELP FIX IT BY DONATING, well....

Lemming posted:A meteor could always land on Hillary's head. That's basically what Trump is hoping for. The correct answer is "A major terrorist attack on US soil could always happen." That would be enough to give Trump the lead and the odds are slightly better than being hit by a meteor.

Hillary is, or at least was, more trusted on foreign policy than any of the Republicans running, IIRC.

If an immigrant or refugee successfully committed a terror attack it would help Trump but not enough to change anything.

Clinton is a good bit ahead of Trump in terms of being trusted with foreign policy and an international emergency. I doubt even a terrorist attack helps Trump

If there's a terrorist attack Trump is going to say he'll glass the Middle East in response, which I think will not endear him to many people

Given the insanity that was the USA after 9/11, I'd really have to say it depends. There's usually a rally round the flag effect but the republicans are bugfuck and would foam at the mouth trying to blame Obama. Trump wouldn't make people feel safer, but he would start musing openly about nuking Saudi Arabia or whatever - and reflexive blind bloodlust is a good substitute for safety in some peoples minds. I think it is an open question whether his crowdpleasing antics would solidify Republican support or his lack of seriousness would cause his campaign to self destruct.

I suppose Trump makes ISIS members feel "safer" in the sense that the apocalypse and destruction of infidels they're so desperate for seems way more likely if he's president
