Weirdly enough Trump doesn't even drink, that's his regular personality. Just imagine how he would be if he had half a bottle of whiskey.

I like how Trump's sole virtue is also what makes his actions even more baffling. If he was wasted 24/7 he'd at least have an explanation for the poo poo he does.

Lastgirl posted:sure but i'm just saying.... He didn't, though. He insulted Trump. Bad Moon is suggesting that Trump is the kind of guy who would watch a movie that is almost entirely about rigorous kung fu training and then think "yeah, I've just got to be a wildcard, no preparation at all, that's the ticket" He didn't even mention drinking, just the unpredictability of the style. This compares well to Trump's strategy of "IMPROV EVERYTHING TO REMAIN UNPREDICTABLE, WILDCARD", as Trump is someone who wouldn't understand why something designed to look like random jerkiness is not the same as random jerkiness Mr Interweb posted:Has this been posted? Catholics tend not to vote on "religious" lines. Liberal Catholics vote for Democrats, conservative Catholics for Republicans, moderate Catholics tend to swing from election to election. All of the recent discussion on the Catholic vote seems kind of silly when it's clear that Catholics don't vote in a way that's much different from the general public. Trump's popularity dip with Catholics is pretty well-represented by his popularity dip with the general population. QuarkJets fucked around with this message at 08:39 on Aug 29, 2016 |

Reading about how Trump doesn't drink reminds me of how people used to say they wanted to have a beer with GWB (who was a recovered alcoholic and teetotaler), and the constant "Drunken Uncle Joe Biden" jokes (who is actually also a teetotaler). Meanwhile, who was the most recent top political figure in America that you could (and some actually did) have a beer with? You guessed it.

Trump is actually very predictable considering he reliably says or tweets something demonstrably ignorant or stupid almost every day. The only thing unpredictable is what flavor of stupid it is.

The only thing unpredictable is what flavor of stupid it is. Yeah. He's only unpredictable if you think of him as a politician of leader. Think of him as a narcissistic manchild looking to personally profit who depends on the rate of bigots for power and he becomes much easier to read.

Hillary was legit amazing at that last Benghazi hearing, if that didnt get noticeably under her skin I don't see how Trump will. it also removes any doubt that she will be troll-Hillary from day one. She knows how awful and shallow and immoral Republicans are, she won't spend half a decade hoping they'll work with her. However, the AP will probably declare the debate a tie. "Trump holds his own against challenger who is well practiced on national debate stage"

Trump is offering Clinton a "you show me yours and I'll show you mine" deal (sorry for that mental imagery) regarding more detailed medical records. I think he knows he can get his quack to sign off virtually anything for a 5 minute spin in Trump's limo. What amazing medical facts will we find out next? "Mr. Trump will not only be the healthiest president in history but also healthier than all future presidents, even the cyborg ones." "Mr. Trump isn't fat, he just has a powerful and protective crumple zone." I can't wait to see a list of all his "positive" test results

At risk of perpetuating a lovely derail, the idea that there were no unambiguously matriarchal societies hinges on the qualifier "unambiguous," ie, there are none known to have ever been as misandristic as feudal and modern societies have been misogynistic. There are partially matriarchal societies in the present day: http://mentalfloss.com/article/31274/6-modern-societies-where-women-literally-rule They just aren't literally Amazons (which were the fever dream of the ancient Greeks, who hated women in a way the Republican party can barely imagine). Frankly, using that standard to deny that women have ever held power or authority is no better than advocating for The Bell Curve or Protocols of the Elders of Zion, in service of a similar narrative.

There are partially matriarchal societies in the present day: You are confusing matriarchy with matrilineality and matrifocality. Even in those examples you posted, the actual positions of political power are held by men even if female support is necessary. 1. "men handle politics." 2. "the clan chief is always male, " 3. "men traditionally hold leadership positions within the society" 5. "Much like the Akan, however, the societiy is matrilineal but not matriarchal: the men govern the society and manage property." quote:They just aren't literally Amazons (which were the fever dream of the ancient Greeks, who hated women in a way the Republican party can barely imagine). Frankly, using that standard to deny that women have ever held power or authority is no better than advocating for The Bell Curve or Protocols of the Elders of Zion, in service of a similar narrative. Well, that's a very hyperbolic strawman attack that I have to respond to. All I am saying is that like other social animals, primitive human societies are structured around sex. They are universally patriarchies. This is the consensus of professional anthropologists. This doesn't justify modern society being patriarchal or sexist anymore than pointing out that the rape of women is a universal phenomenon in human societies justifies sexual assault. In fact being aware that we have a powerful natural, evolved tendency to expect that power will rest in the hands of men is anti-sexist.

There's plenty of archaeological evidence for egalitarian societies. (edit: in the sense that there's a rich data set to indicate that some societies were egalitarian, I'm not claiming they were especially common or even the norm.)
