Instant Sunrise posted:this. This but re: immediate family of mine. Luckily that family member got the help she needed, was able to move to a different part of the country where different family members lived and were more supportive so she wasn't languishing in an environment where her own family took every opportunity to call her a whore for getting raped and instead had a solid circle of family/friends to feel safe around, etc. Trump's poo poo puts me in a really weird/bad place between sarcasm/cynicism and vertigo-inducing bouts of quiet rage.

PhazonLink posted:Also Clinton plays 11D chess so Donnie is still hosed unless this timeline is a strategic lost for the greater win of Cosmic Queen. I kind of ran into this when I was complaining to my friends about South Park's debate cartoon. The over rehearsed statement at the wrong time is a fine joke, but it really doesn't make sense to me because Clinton is not that dumb. She's not run a perfect campaign, but she's definitely run an excellent one, and the praising of male mediocrity over female excellence is in full effect. I feel like there's some serious misogyny lenses on people, and in 30 years we're going to be semi-nostalgic for Clinton like LBJ. I started this election with grim knowledge of voting for her, and it's wrapped around to honest respect and expectation. Perhaps better than Obama. Like, I think a lot of it is that I can remember the racist bullshit Obama had to slog through, which affected me personally, so to realize the same is happening with misogyny is eye-opening. I still would have preferred Sanders, and I wouldn't say genius level work, but if anyone thinks she's just coasting along on Trump's awfulness they have their head up their rear end.

Russia is condemning the UN for criticizing Trump for his deplorable human rights viewsquote:Russia reportedly complained to the United Nations last month about criticisms of Donald Trump launched by the organization’s high commissioner for human rights. Diplomats say Vitaly Churkin, the Russian ambassador to the UN, spoke with Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in private about it. Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein, the human-rights commissioner, strongly denounced Trump and European populist politicians, comparing their strategies to those employed by ISIS. “In what may be a critical election for leadership of this country later this year, we have seen a full-frontal attack—disguised as courageous taboo-busting—on some fundamental, hard-won tenets of decency and social cohesion that have come to be accepted by American society,” he said. The type of complaint Churkin made, dubbed a “demarche,” rarely focuses on a specific person, and is notable in the context of Russia’s continued praise of the GOP nominee.

I'm kind of hoping some sort of follow up story breaks tomorrow though just to guarantee Trump spends the night before the debate up until 5am coked up and tweeting. Trump is not going to appear at the debate on Sunday. I doubt anyone associated with the Republican campaign will let him. He's going to be made to turtle up and try to fight off going to prison on rape charges. The campaign is over. The question is whether or not the GOP will try to ask for an extension on polling day to put up a new candidate, and whether the Democrats will feel accommodating in the name of preserving the Republic. e: foobardog posted:I still would have preferred Sanders, and I wouldn't say genius level work, but if anyone thinks she's just coasting along on Trump's awfulness they have their head up their rear end. The main reason Trump was even still in the race in the face of a campaign as ultimately good as Clinton's is that Trumps candidacy is revealing real and worrying flaws within the electorate itself, and ones that probably need to be addressed to preserve the future of the Republic as a capital-letter institution.

Maybe it's just from how poorly Kaine looked being way too eager to be on the attack. The best insight I heard about the VP debate was that Kaine was debating like he wanted to be the 2016 vice president (taking on the first officer attack dog role so the captain can look benevolent) whereas Pence was debating like he wanted to be the 2020 president (acting like his running mate was someone other than Donald Trump).

Not even sun up and the Trump disintegration machine is already at work. Daily Beast reporting that the married woman in the "grab her pussy" video is Nancy O'Dell, who worked for his Miss USA pageants in 2004 and 2005. He apparently had tried to fire from the 2007 pageant her when O'Dell got pregnant. She was under contract with NBC, so they overruled Trump and she ended up hosting the 2007 pageant with a co-host.

What do you suppose Hillary has been doing for the last twelve hours. Like in my head I have a picture of her in a mud bath with cucumber slices over her eyes listening to beethoven and an aide walks in and shows her the front page of the NYDN and she just flatly says "good" and goes back to her mud bath.

He was too overzealous for the first 15-20 minutes, and the whole thing made for really weird, disjointed viewing. People also keep forgetting/not noticing that Pence's strategy was to drone on and on through the debate time and run out the clock. Kaine basically had to interrupt to say anything. I mean, he got pretty into it when he started interrupting Pence's solo time, but still.

If you had asked me if I would ever consider doing that just 7 days ago I would have laughed, said I don't have time for that poo poo, and I'm not an impulsive person, I don't change my mind easily. This is a stupifyingly enormous, campaign-ending scandal that will have an impact well beyond the top of the ballot.

There is no way on Earth the GOP leadership will allow him on camera on Sunday after this. The "vote extension" thing probably won't happen (it's more that I suspect a lot of GOP folks are dearly wishing there was a mechanism to ask for that right about now) but I honestly believe Trump will be forced to no-show the debate on Sunday. I cannot conceive of anyone involved allowing him anywhere near a camera and a stage with Hillary Clinton on it this weekend. If it does happen then it's going to be a farce for the ages.

In an area where my expectations for what Americans would accept from their candidates was subterranean, we've moved through the Earth and come out on the other side in Wonderland. Maybe Obama was right, the waters have begun receding, but it's revealing all the alligators we thought were no longer in the swamp.

There is no such thing as the Republican leadership. If there were, he never would have won the primary. Plus Trump still has Secret Service protection, any GOP goons physically trying to stop Trump would be arrested or worse.

Trump shows that even now, you can be a total incompetent fool with no redeeming qualities, but still get dangerously close to the presidency so long as you tap into the white rage of the electorate and decades of smear campaigns against your opponent. That is what should be terrifying.

The GOP stopping Trump from campaigning would be the end of the GOP as a party. That's what's so glorious about this, the GOP's options are all just shades of how hosed they are. The GOP didn't do its due diligence and now everyone's gonna ride this out. Strap in boys and girls. As to what Hillary is doing right now, she's preparing furiously, of course.
