Honestly they should be hammering that line because no matter what white fantasy Trump supporters might have if you have him crack and admit we should get in bed with the reds it will collapse fast. They dream of the cold war, bot being Russia's puppet. Trevor Hale posted:It wasn't just the ((())) though, it was that and wearing thick black glasses. The implication being that you look like Jews.

SedanChair posted:I just don't see why the incentive to avoid gifts doesn't outweight the small benefit of receiving them in every case. I do sort of get politicians receiving small gifts at speaking engagement and from visits by foreign officials (flowers, bottle of wine, whatever) as organizations love to give gifts and to out right refuse to accept can get awkward if it's in front of a whole bunch of people, and honestly if a politicians can be bribed by a bunch of flowers, or a $30 bottle of wine then they were garbage to begin with. Anything more then that though I don't get. Your an elected official. You would of known what the salary was when you went you run. If it wasn't enough you shouldn't of bloody run.

BetterToRuleInHell posted:DWS is still going to gavel the convention in and out, so expect boos at the start and finish. Nope. They took that away from her too. She's no longer appearing in any official capacity at the DNC. She's still a delegate for life though.

What did the e-mail leaks reveal about DWS? The only thing I remember from last night (my time) was the 'Jew or atheist' question, and I thought that didn't involve her. Did it? Was it something else?

Especially since most of the party's left already hates her.

Antti posted:#DNCinPHL is a dumb hashtag and #RNCinCLE was a dumb hashtag. Just use #DNC16 or something, Jesus Christ. I agree. The geographical location isn't anywhere near as unique an identifier as the year in which it is happening. Another DNC might happen in PHL some years later - how will Twitter hashtag it in 2050?! Zanzibar Ham posted:What did the e-mail leaks reveal about DWS? The only thing I remember from last night (my time) was the 'Jew or atheist' question, and I thought that didn't involve her. Did it?

She's the head of the DNC, so the proverbial buck stops with her, and the fact that she was already stepping down after this campaign makes her a perfect scapegoat.

Yeah it was doubly lucky since she's legitimately a big problem and also the perfect scapegoat. Hillary basically took the "scandal" and it's perpetrator, bundled them up and fired them from a cannon into space. Mrs. Clinton does not gently caress around.

On the bright side, this email scandal does nothing to implicate the Clinton campaign of any wrongdoing, which makes it easy to insulate Hillary from any of the blame. It also means she can look like a leader when she "cleans up" the DNC.

Well that's kind of the whole thing, it was less a security measure and more of a "someone in control of the money is Very Concerned and Something Must Be Done" so they cooked up a hasty security-theater thing to retrofit. It took til some much later designs of missiles for the concept to even work right.

As a fun double-edged sword, everyone knows by now thanks to their bazillion attempts to make it stick that when they mean "Terrorism" they're actually saying "Islam". Also some fun horror from that article quote:— Defended Ailes, who resigned from Fox amid sexual harassment allegations by numerous women. Trump described Ailes as a longtime friend and said “some of the women” complaining about Ailes have been helped by him in the past and earlier had said good things about him. “It’s very sad,” Trump said. “Because he’s a very good person. I’ve always found him to be just a very, very good person.” #2 is maybe the only kind-of point, but it's also the most hypocritical thing imaginable.

Sanders is anti-establishment but I don't think he's going to try and sabotage the Democrats, no. He'll probably make it clear that the status quo is still unacceptable and continue pushing for leftward reform, but direct the lion's share of his piss and vinegar at Trump.

He should specifically address in his speech how the Republicans think that his supporters are mindless fools. Really push home on how the GOP must think they are retarded if they think they'll now vote against everything Bernie stands for. ThT should cause at least some of the more hardcore Burners to go "he's right, I'm no retard!"
