I have heard it unironically discussed that Trump himself leaked the pics. Especially since it seems to not really be an issue and yet the Post is doubling down on it.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Is independent city the same thing as unincorporated counties / towns? Because unincorporated areas exist almost everywhere. They are especially prevalent in the midwest and prairie areas. No, weirder. In most places cities are an extra level of government on top of the county government, or in some cases incorporated into/supplanting the county government. In VA, cities are independent of counties, and serve as their own locality. As a result you end up with bitter rivalries between cities and their surrounding counties for citizens and tax bases, exacerbated by the racial dynamics of white flight (many cities are heavily black, and post-CRA are governed by majority black councils, while counties tend to be affluent and white). Regional cooperation is hard-won and easily disrupted as a result, and there are precious few examples of successful large scale regional projects, such as transit networks. One of the reasons Kaine is so popular around these parts is because, as a popular white mayor of majority black Richmond, he really helped heal some of those stark racial divides, presumably by listening really intently to everyone and then making bad dad jokes and calling everyone sport.

FlamingLiberal posted:Now Corey Lewandowski is on CNN claiming that 'the Khans' son wouldn't have died had Trump been president at that time'. I find it interesting the Trump campaign is trying to act like the Khans are upset their son died in Iraq and not because the sacrifices their son made are being ignored and his religion denigrated.

At the DNC, Khazr Khan gave a speech about his Muslim American son that died in 2004 in Iraq and was awarded a Bronze Star for heroism. The thrust of that speech is that Muslims come to this country and become patriotic and valuable citizens, just like every other immigrant group, and that Trumps proposal to ban Muslims from immigrating here flew in the face of everything this country and the consitution stands for. The line of the night was "You sacrificed nothing!" So Trump and his surrogates spent all weekend talking about how actually he's sacrificed a bunch, you don't know him, and why was Khan's wife just standing next to him silently the whole time, is it because Muslims hate women?

There was also him pulling out his pocket Constitution and offering to lend it to Trump, asking if he'd ever even read it before. Trump responded to this by accusing him of having no right to say he's never read it, which is hilarious for several reasons.

Sion posted:can someone give me a rundon on this as someone from outside the uk? it has kind of sailed me by. *takes a deep breath* There's this Muslim soldier who immigrated as a kid with his parents to America from Pakistan who rose to the rank of Captain and was killed in action in Iraq in 2004. His parents got upset about Trump and the Muslim ban and called him out publicly in the Democratic National Convention. His dad literally pulled the US Constitution out of his pocket and offered it for Trump to read, it was a very Aaron Sorkin moment and everyone loved it. Trump being as Trump does, went after them and insulted them insinuating the mom was quiet not because of overwhelming emotion but because Muslim men abuse their women (if you think insulting the parents of KIA war heroes in the UK is is bad, it's like triple as bad in the US). It's gotten Trump lots of denunciations and "This is just not okay" reactions and even some Republicans are chiding him for it. Instead of shutting up he stepped into it big time because he has no self-control or has a crazy theory where any publicity is good even if it exposes you as a walking pile of burning garbage. And he and his surrogates have kept stepping on the rake for four days in a row now instead of trying to make it go away like an ordinary campaign would.

It's a fractal of unforced errors. If you pick at any single part or branch of it you get a whole separate branching out of more errors and fuckups. It's difficult to try to keep it succinct because then you start diving into tangents like how Trump didn't remember that Putin annexed Crimea or how a former Trump staffer has now accused Mr Pocket Constitution (Khizr Khan) of being in the Muslim Brotherhood. That wasn't a fake tweet right?

This weekend I learned some fascinating new things from two white guys (mid 20s) working a fast food counter! When Hillary gave her DNC speech, they had white noise machines playing over the California delegation because they supported Bernie so strongly and were booing nonstop. Also, they made sure no mics picked up the crowd and all applause was just recordings! They strongly supported Bernie in the primary, but one of them heard a lot of good things about this Gary Johnson guy and urged the other worker + me to check out his website and vote for him in the general! It was almost surreal to hear this sorta stuff in person for the first time after seeing it online so much, I've been real lucky so far in that regard. In my office it's been split pretty evenly in three ways between Hillary/Trump/depressed republicans.

Night10194 posted:I think Kaisch's long play is going to work out better for him than Cruz's backstab. Because if Trump loses, people will point to Cruz as being a part of it, while Kaisch has made his lack of support clear without doing a grand-standing and public snub. Kaisch will come off more as 'I told you so' than 'It's your fault'. Reminder of something I read during the primary. Kaisch is the competent 2nd or 3rd in command evil henchmen that gets poo poo done and if he takes over might be worse than the old big bad.

Written by a former Washington Times writer, say hello to the lamest attempt at spin ever. Khizr Khan was tricked into smearing Donald Trump FactsAreUseless posted:It's a bad show, do not encourage people to watch the Newsroom. I hate-watched that show from start-to-finish, getting more and more angry each week. It all paid off with the most cringe-inducing scene in recent TV memory, that sing-along at ADA Jack McCoy's memorial service.
