mcmagic posted:Doesn't the National Front poll at 40% in France? And the entire political elite in the UK just shat all over themselves. I think a US government headed by a president Trump would still be more effective and competent than the UK's government. Old, but her most generous poll right now or eer is 31% on first turn, she'd probably be the runner up, but would still lose and then get only about 4-5 seats in the national assembly down the line. So hopefully Trump loses at least that badly.

Popular Thug Drink touched on this, but Atlanta has one of the largest Asian populations in the Southeast. The Asian population there is growing at almost the same rate as the Latino population. Another important note is that Asians are few and far between everywhere else in that quarter of the country.

You have to watch about 2 1/2 minutes to get the full effect, but I feel as if Trump doesn't have the capacity for sarcasm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntQ4Mof4TyA&t=481s

Trabisnikof posted:Your theory is that Trump can only say nice things about others framed within a compliment for himself and thus him saying "I would date my own daughter" isn't creepy, right? gregday posted:There's almost certain probability that she's been harassed by her own father. I believe we saw a glimpse of that at the convention. you're conflating "creepy" with "certain probability that she's been harassed by her own father", so you know. You failed to explain how Trump complimenting someone acting just like him isn't actually narcissistic.

Josh Lyman posted:Trump has repeatedly said he would date his daughter if she weren't his daughter. Are you willfully stupid or truth is in the middle stupid? The comments all boil down to "My daughter is super hot, isn't it awesome my daughter is hot?" Which is weird but is him bragging, not him literally meaning he wants to molest his daughter. I'm not saying it isn't weird but I doubt it really means he wants to gently caress his daughter instead of him being a braggart.

So why can't Trump just have complimented his daughter in the same way he complimented Putin? Why did Trump choose to repeatedly say he would have sex with his daughter if she wasn't his relative if he felt no sexual attraction to her?

I don't think anyone actually believes Donald Trump wants to gently caress his own daughter, it's just a really creepy and weird thing to 'brag' about and something that's super easy to mock. Like, yea I guess if it helps I agree Donald Trump probably doesn't literally want to molest his daughter, but 99% of dads somehow manage to say 'and isn't my daughter growing up so pretty' without saying 'haha I'd date her, I hope she gets her mom's tits, god drat she's so loving hot'.

My facebook feed this morning has been blowing up with two Jill Stein things 1) Apparently she said that wifi signals harm children 2) She tweeted that vaccines don't cause autism and was apparently badgered into taking that tweet down I assume this means that she's pandering to her crazy stupid base but is there a point? Doesn't she already have the Green Party nomination?

sarmhan posted:For this year yes. Ah so you're saying that she probably has to keep pandering in order to keep the gravy train flowing for future elections, because even Jill Stein knows that she has no shot at actually winning and all of that Green Party money goes away if she starts to express opinions that aren't crazy. I think that's probably the right answer

Obama calling out Trump today as 'unfit' might backfire. Telling Republicans that they should denounce Trump seems like a great way to get the Republicans to unify against Obama. Maybe Obama smells blood in the water and wants to get as many people attached to that sinking ship as possible? Seems like an unnecessary risk, though.

Lemming posted:He says and does a lot of creepy poo poo with his daughter! We have this issue with my narcissist father. It's not that he in genuinely sexually attracted to his daughter. It's that he doesn't consider what effect his words or actions have on others. In his upbringing of time and privilege, it was ok to comment on women in this manner. To say it about his daughter is in his mind a compliment, both to her and to himself, because his children reflect back upon him. If other people think it's creepy, that's their problem. Only his internal intent matters, not the effect it has on others. And his internal intent is always good because he his virtuous.

A Winner is Jew posted:This is just more empty pandering to the Sanders people from Clinton. It sounds like it's more, whenever there's a new DNC chair there's naturally some shifting and people leaving/coming because the DNC chair gets to decide who they want doing what and they might not want the same people doing the same things. Much like how a Clinton Administration, for example, probably won't keep a lot of the same people from the Obama Administration. Clinton wants to pick her own people, while people who've been there for awhile might want something new. But they can say, see, heads are rolling over this, stop bitching holy Christ, the same way they did with DWS even though she was already leaving anyway, they just expedited it.

Have Some Flowers! posted:Obama calling out Trump today as 'unfit' might backfire. Telling Republicans that they should denounce Trump seems like a great way to get the Republicans to unify against Obama. OTOH, there are several opeds today, including in the Wall Street Journal, about how the GOP needs to drop Donald Trump while they can still claim it is a principled stand and not expediency. Republican leadership is not going to carry a drop of water for Donald Trump.

Night10194 posted:So, is this good or bad? Well any kind of restructuring can lead to hiccups in functioning, so that this is happening in the middle of an important election makes me concerned how it will affect the ability of the DNC to function. Also Amy Dacey by most accounts was well regarded, and also seems she was kept out of the loop from some of the things DWS was doing, so seems like she doesn't deserve what's happening to her. OTOH, I trust the new chair to take steps to strengthen the DNC so some new fresh blood might be a good thing. And if it makes the Sanders supporters feel better than guess it's worth ti.

The people who are just as likely to vote D as they are R are going to see the republicans not doing anything but making excuses for their lovely candidate which means more support for Hillary. He's trying to force the republicans hands to get them to either repudiate trump and damage their standing with the base, or defend trump and damage the standing with the undecideds.

In order for the GOP to go after Obama on that statement, they'd have to argue that Trump is fit for president. Since Paul Ryan is currently drafting a statement saying why it's bad to take medals you didn't earn, he'll likely be too busy to stand up for Trump.
