Radish posted:Hillary has to be preparing for Trump to just rapid fire off absurd ridiculous lies during the debates assuming he won't get fact checked and that it's harder and takes more time to disprove his trash than for him to say it. Aka the Gish Gallop. Throw 20 untrue statements and misrepresentations at your opponent and declare victory when they only manage to show that 19 are complete and utter bullshit. I can't think of anyone more capable of picking apart that debate "style" than Clinton. The trouble is that she has limited time and actually picking it apart often makes the person doing so seem boring and nitpicking. Probably the more effective strategy with Trump will be to pick the most blatantly absurd thing he says, point out that it is wrong, and then parade it in front of him saying that only a completely incompetent dumbass could think that's how the world works. Odds are he doubles down on it for a few weeks.

Hollywood movies & American TV shows have taught me that coughing fits are invariably a sign of imminent death. Never colds or sore throats or whatever. Clinton will be dead before November.

A Winner is Jew posted:Just a reminder: It was eerie, you'd walk out of the press room, through the lobby out of the elevators, into the bar... There'd be a huge crowd in the lobby and only one person talking and you'd hear this voice saying, 'The mood at the Clinton headquarters... is extremely solemn and shocked... one of shock and depression... right now... Illinois has just fallen... California is gone, New York is gone...' They'd read this list of disasters and you knew their faces and what they were saying was on TV screens all over the country... It was like a televised funeral... I was feeling depressed... And Huma Abedin came in. I could see that she'd been crying... and... she's not the kind of person you'd expect to see walking around in public with tears all over her face... That was the only time Clinton cracked. For about a minute she broke down and... and... and couldn't talk for a few minutes. Then she got herself together... She was actually the coolest person in the place from then on. Other people were cracking all around... Stunned, wall-eyed... there was nothing to say... just a helluva shock... you know...a fantastic beating... I remember, when Pence came on, throwing something at the television set. It was a beer can... That was the last flight of the Hill Force One and also last flight of the Zoo Plane. It was the trip back to Washington from Brookyn which borders on one of the worst trips I've ever taken in my life... Jesus Christ... it was easily the worst scene of the campaign... There was something... total... something very undermining about the Clinton defeat... There was a very unexplained kind of... ominous quality to it... weeping chaos. People you'd never expect to break down... stumbled off the plane in tears... It was such a shock to me that although I'd gone back to Washington to analyze... I saw how ripped up people were... I decided to hell with this... So I just went right around to the main terminal and got on another plane and went back to Colorado.

Instant Sunrise posted:i wonder how much of this hypercritical coverage on hillary while brushing off the actual poo poo trump is doing is because after decades of conservatives saying "liberal media liberal media liberal media LIBERAL MEDIA LIBERAL MEDIA!" a lot of the news outlets have moved to the right to avoid accusations of bias The show "The Newsroom" was basically about this and it ran from 2012-2014 so yeah, it's commonly accepted as the way things are. It's almost an old trope at this point.

See what I can't understand is that Trump is constantly, constantly doing poo poo like this and getting away scot-free as the media straight-up ignores it, but Trump and his supporters constantly complain about how the evil biased media is against them.

Shifty Pony posted:Aka the Gish Gallop. Throw 20 untrue statements and misrepresentations at your opponent and declare victory when they only manage to show that 19 are complete and utter bullshit. When it comes to Trump lies, the problem is picking just one before he spews enough more to make the chosen one irrelevant. Besides that, she's got to contend with the double standard of looking "shrill" if she harps on anything too hard as a woman while Trump's nonsense thrives off any attention, especially if he goes mean spirited.

Talmonis posted:Trump could poo poo blood on live TV and the media would still fall over themselves while furiously masterbating any time Clinton coughs or sighs. It's a pretty inspiring story quote:It is an unprecedented gathering. Members of more than 90 Native American nations and tribes have a presence here, according to Eagleman, who has become a sort of unofficial spokesman for the protest camp. Up the road, where the building site was besieged, the flags of many of those nations now fly together. The unity on display here is a dream come true for Eagleman. “There has been no moment like this in history,” he said. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/aug/29/north-dakota-oil-pipeline-protest-standing-rock-sioux

It's sweet that Democrats nominated Hilary because she was "more electable", but she's turned out to be arguably more poisonous with the American electorate than the least qualified, most vile candidate in history.

WeAreTheRomans posted:the older I get the more I realise Hunter S Thompson was basically just a GBS edgeposter before his time I didn't put it in these words, but a 13th century Muslim polemic I wrote about in college was basically the world's first troll.* He was wildly well spoken but would make these absolutely insane arguments about Christianity and Islam. Examples: If you say Jesus is god you are saying god poops, which is blasphemous. Hadiths ban urinating in your bathwater as haraam, but it says nothing about pooping in your bathwater, so that is hygienic. ... He didn't exclusively talk about poop, those are just the examples I remember. Wish I could recall his name. *Or maybe #2 if you count Diogenes.
