Lee Atwater posted:You start out in 1954 by saying, "friend of the family, friend of the family, friend of the family." By 1968 you can't say "friend of the family" — that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me — because obviously sitting around saying, "We want to cut this," is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "friend of the family, friend of the family." In other words: Because it helps black people.

Jazerus posted:Yeah, I think they are two separate insults that just happen to be the same word. The more innocuous one originated from fashion/hip-hop, while the transphobic racist pedophilic homophobic meaning is from 4chan. "Boi" used to be a linguistic tic associated with Asian or Asian-American gamers, and then came to have an association with trans people - maybe due to an underlying sense of sexual ambiguity in misspelling "boy". When discussing 4chan, the underage angle is pretty obvious, and then bam, you have the most degrading thing a GamerGater-type can think of. This is all poo poo that's been simmering in the dark parts of the internet for like 15 years now coming together into concise insults instead of thinly veiled dogwhistling. Boi came to trans folks, IIRC, because it was a butch lesbian thing previously.

It seems like everyone who's defending Trump over this is completely missing the sexual assault aspect of the story and thinks it's just the coarse language language and/or adultery that's the controversial part.

Part of a whole series on how Trump can keep making things worse for the GOP, https://twitter.com/joshuagreen/status/784924809926938624 https://twitter.com/joshuagreen/status/784925098067259392 Yes Trump, for gods sake please do this. You are absolutely qualified and prepared to take on a criminal defense attorney about one of her old cases, one who has spent her entire adult life fending off attacks from others. You will certainly handle this is a sensitive and tasteful manner. You most definitely will not undermine a fundamental tenant of our legal system by questioning whether the accused should have representation in a court of law. And it will all be on national tv!

They all think it's perfectly acceptable to just kiss random women because you find them pretty and then grab them by the pussy so they'll do whatever you want. So they see the outrage, scratch their heads, and then assume it's because Donny used such crass language. It's really very enlightening as to who to be on the lookout for future assault scandals.

I get the distinct impression that he's changed over the years. Like, in the 90's, he was less insanely rich and had only been outside of The Industry for a few years, but now he's going on three decades and several million dollars removed from real life and in that time he's gone batty from being so sheltered.

"I assume that publication of this recording was okayed by the Clinton campaign. And if not, the public will assume so anyway. That opens the door for Trump to attack in a proportionate way. No more mister-nice-guy. Gloves are off. Nothing is out of bounds. It is fair to assume that Bill and Hillary are about to experience the worst weeks of their lives. " Bill Clinton testified about getting head in the Oval Office in front of Congress. Spoilers: He stayed in office, and they kept their marriage together. There is nothing you can say that will even get -close- to a 'worst week' for the Clintons, Herr Dogbert.

Dilbert used to be harmless fun, where Dilbert was the moral winner but often the loser anyway, Dogbert was a silly smug rear end in a top hat, and Dilbert's female coworkers complained about the boss being a patriarchal shithead sometimes. It should have ended as the 90s did, maybe 2003 at the latest, just like the rest of that era's office humor like the Bastard Operator from Hell. Now, uh, it's not about a normal office anymore.

I've had republican coworkers also claim that foreign UHC only works because our private system supports medical development. Essentially if the US goes socialist all medical developments would stop and healthcare would collapse because there would be no profit to support it.

I think I'll have engagements tomorrow which will prevent me from being able to see the debate. I'm glad in a way because it's such an intense event with so much wrapped up in it just thinking about it makes me sick to my stomach, even though I know realistically it can't save trump's campaign at this point.

Hillary might try to largely ignore Trump outside of some initial condemnation and go more positive. She knows things can't be anymore anti-Trump so better to stoke enthusiasm for her campaign and focus on good turnout.
