Personally, I'm holding out for the Trump campaign to release a video of Hillary giving birth and talking about how weak she is for showing pain. That's the only way I think he could offend women more, so I guess it's likely.

Also defusing the issue before the debate.

That, uh. Didn't really work out for him. The only way to genuinely kill it as an effective attack on him would've been to give an apology. It would require the candidate to not be Donald Trump. They keep trying these derpy stratagems that require a different candidate.

At the next debate Trump tries to prove he's super manly by trying to straight up punch Hillary. But she deftly dodges, and he flops to the floor like a tipped cow.

Who the gently caress encouraged him to keep using the "kill shot" thing? Did someone seriously say to him "Yes Scott, the use of the phrase 'kill shot' is clever and in no way annoying when used in every goddamn sentence"? Or is he so busy huffing his own farts that he thinks it's a genius linguistic calling card?

He's such a "master persuader" that he believes he must add a calling card to his rhetoric after he makes an especially "brilliant" point so that lesser minds can notice it.

Yeah. This is what unloading the binder looks like. The binder full of women Trump has disrespected and put down.

Back in the 90s Dilbert was personified as a nice dude that often didn't get interpersonal interaction and was annoyed by people that were sincerely stupid like the boss or whoever but suffered through it occasionally making a sarcastic comment. It was making fun of nerdy engineer types as well as "dumb coworkers" that other office workers felt they were dealing with. I read some lately since I haven't in decades and he's really just gone down the hole of being a STEMlord rear end in a top hat to everyone and the boss seems like a normal dude putting up with his poo poo. I'm not sure what that means considering Adams is pretty much kissing as much business leader rear end as he possibly can on twitter but the strip is garbage now.

I had always figured Hillary was waiting until late September and October when people would be paying the most attention to start gutting Trump, and Trump's been walking into it blindly.

Scott Adams has a lot in common with Tim Buckley in that he made a comic that got popular and was widely considered funny for a while but now he's been reduced to a guy copy-pasting the same characters over and over on a cintiq.

I actually had someone I know complain about how Scott Adams totally isn't supporting Trump, and how he wrote a column about how he supports Clinton.

Said column can be summarized by "I think if I back Trump that I will be threatened and/or assaulted by Clinton supporters, so I 'support' Clinton". Guy even linked me the column as if I'd read it and go "Oh, I'm incorrect, sorry."

They've pretty much entirely dropped the pretense of transparency and all but admitted they're a political smear group at this point.
The entire idea of a whistleblower group interested solely in transparency taking sides in an election and sitting on information they don't want to release yet is completely laughable.

A city that was to live by night after the wilderness had passed. A city that was to forge out of steel and blood-red neon its own peculiar wilderness.
Early Dilbert was pretty good. Especially as someone who's worked in IT my entire life. It eventually like most good things flanderized itself.

Best case scenario, we are entering the finale of the 1812 Overture that is the election, and the Alicia Machado thing is just the first thing to fly out of the recently cracked oppo folder, and it continues at this pace to the election, culminating in Trump going into a Downfall speech on live television, resulting in his eye popping out of his head and him dying of a stroke in front of 200 million americans on election night.
