what is it with hardline people and being unable to self-censor

its not a left or right wing issue (even though the right has definitely taken the crown this election)

why do you need to call someone a bimbo and say you are going to ram anything down their throats, like idgi

I doubt those no disclosures are enforceable against volunteers.

Good think Trump has a long and recent history of filing frivolous lawsuits that he knows he can't win just to punish people he feels have wronged him. He is quite proud of it actually.

In other news the WSJ just smacked down Trump on Mexican jobs:

WSJ posted:

Donald Trump said trade has caused a “tremendous” exodus of American jobs. But it’s really more of a trickle, economists say.

The Republican presidential nominee, visiting Mexico, said the North American Free Trade Agreement has benefited Mexico more than the U.S.

“We must take action to stem the tremendous outflow of jobs from our country,” Mr. Trump said Wednesday after meeting Mexico’s president.

But trade is a two-way street, and a 2014 study published by the Peterson Institute for International Economics estimated that while imports from Mexico have displaced 203,000 jobs a year, the two-way trade has also supported 188,000 jobs due to U.S. exports headed south. So that’s a net 15,000 jobs lost annually, a tiny fraction of U.S. employment, according to the 2014 study by Gary Hufbauer, Cathleen Cimino and Tyler Moran.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

School starts on September 7 in Michigan. Usually during an election year I look forward to teaching Civics because we have a dearth of content happening in real time to teach students about the whole election process. My classes last spring already had a taste of that with the primary. This is the first time I can recall in my teaching career where I am seriously reserved about what I can share in class. I imagine other Social Studies teachers across the country are dealing with the exact same issue.

I teach a public speaking course. My students were assigned Trump's RNC speech for class. Several of them have approached me to beg to never make them watch him speak again.

Hillary Clinton can't get over 46% vs the most despicable presidential candidate in US history. She would be 10 points down to John Kasich.

Yeah, that's exactly it. Well-off hispanic people in the southwest could rationalize a FYGM attitude because "he's not talking about me or any of my immigrant family members, he's talking about the dirtbags who come over here and make us all look bad"

Now that we've got white nationalists on TV espousing racial purity while some vacuous reporter politely nods along. Pretty hard to keep up the FYGM in the face of that, I think.
