I'm not sure how much of a leak it is, given that the article has a quote from Donald about said nude photos.

I don't know where the hell the Republican party will actually go after Trump (presuming he doesn't actually become Emperor of the World like he thinks he will). People have said Ted Cruz but he doesn't have any reality entertainment appeal which I can't help but think will just kill enthusiasm from the Trump demographic and make it pretty hard for him to do as well if there's even one person trying the same routine as Trump in 2020. Is this gonna be the jump-the-shark moment for GOP presidential bids for however long it takes for them to pivot out of the Southern Strategy?

Huh, I just reminded myself of the whole 'still need a 9th supreme court justice' thing. Did Congress really not let Obama appoint someone? And won't Hillary just nominate the same person anyways?

Conspiracy theory is that Trump sent them himself so that he could bring in some more misogynistic men.

http://samuelwhitefield.com/1811/four-issues-to-consider-before-you-vote-trump-what-is-really-at-stake They know enough to know what Trump is saying and doing is wrong, and yet they are still supporting him. Why? Because we are never compelled by our ideals like we are by our loves. And when you look at Donald Trump through the shared loves of the evangelical Culture, he starts to make perfect sense. Evangelicals don’t believe in Donald Trump as much as they love Donald Trump and all that Donald Trump represents. Watch these rallies and you will quickly see they have nothing to do with inspiring ideas and hopeful policies; they’re worship services. And standing on the stage before the great throng of longing souls is the manifestation of their common love feeding their hungry hearts with his nonsense. Holy poo poo

I'm kind of waiting until we get to the point where Trump shows he doesn't even know where the Mexican border for his magical wall actually is.

I read it until I was all schadenfreuded out, then closed the tab. I'd love to agree but a) they still vote so an argument they'll accept for not voting straight R this time is good in my book and b) I'm stuck with family who are in this headspace so yeah. It may not do any good anyway but I'm glad to be able to pass it on at any rate for whatever good it will do.

My partner at work just cited the 'fact' that Obama 'applied for student aid as foreign student' (Snopes shows it was an april fools article in 2009) as evidence that Obama is not a citizen. And also posited that the former constitutional law professor hasn't 'read the constitution either' (along w/ the donald, I guess)..... It's 0830 and I've got 10.5hrs left....lord gimme strunph....

Serrath posted:Trump has been engaged in a very public and damaging feud with the father of a Gold Star winning veteran who was killed in Iraq And more importantly, Trump heavily implied that the mother was not allowed to speak by the father because ~islam~ and she responded in a written statement the obvious reason: it's still to painful for her to talk about it especially in a huge arena full of people. Then she dunks all over Trump some more and it's glorious.

Yeah, that's the right move by them. There's nothing left for them to say; if Trump keeps talking about it he just keeps digging himself into a hole; and reporters might even respect their wish and leave them in peace, and if anyone keeps harassing them about it they have the high ground. Besides, they must have already gotten a truckload of death threats. There's also the danger that it devolves into a he said/he said type of thing (even though the Khans are absolutely in the right), if it's ginned up for too long. If it's just Trump tilting at windmills it reflects worse on him ("Why won't he leave those Gold Star parents alone?"). Edit: gently caress, it's already getting there with AP calling it a "feud." It's not a feud, it's a family who lost a son being chain-insulted by a presidential candidate. Sulphagnist fucked around with this message at 14:02 on Aug 1, 2016 |
