Thinking back a couple of days, it really is amazing all of the poo poo that broke on Friday:

Guliani's daughter coming out in favor of Hillary
Trump still thinks the Central Park 5 are guilty
News on a large Trump ad cancellation broke
Grab her by the pussy
Russia lodges a UN complaint in order to support Donald Trump

There are a few people who get diagnosed decades after having the disease whose immune function never really recovers despite HAART, but honestly the difference these days is mostly just whether you take your goddamned medicine. A lot of regimens are one pill once a day now too. In terms of life inconvenience, type one diabetes is probably worse. Versus Ebola? Give me "full blown AIDS" any day.

Id rather go for Ebola. It might hurt initially but with 1st world care, and ealry diagnosis the mortality rate is incredibly low.
Same, Ebola's hell but at least there's some sort of survival rate and a cure.

It's funny how every single "lol there's no choice, they're both the same" analogy ends up falling apart when you start looking at the differences between two supposedly similar things. Other goons have given good arguments as to why AIDS would be a better choice over Ebola.

The rhetoric about what happened to the Republicans after this election will definitely be more "play stupid games win stupid prizes" and way less about honest introspection about their relationship with voters.

This already happened after the 2012 election when the GOPe did some soul-searching, came up with some half-hearted recommendations for changing course, then completely and utterly failed to do anything about it and just immediately doubled-down on the old white male demographic and voter ID suppression tactics; all they did is go "LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" as they collectively buried their heads in the sand like figurative ostriches, leading directly to the Trumpster fire we're witnessing now.

The first paragraph is brutal

quote:

ST. LOUIS — Donald Trump trashed his wife and suggested his father was involved in John F. Kennedy’s assassination, but Texas Sen. Ted Cruz still endorsed him. Trump mocked his cotton mouth and slight stature, but Florida Sen. Marco Rubio still got in line. Trump turned his mentor and former running mate Mitt Romney into a personal whipping post, but House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (Wis.) still hopped aboard the Trump train.

EDIT:

quote:

“We knew that no one who has gotten involved with Donald Trump in his personal life, in his professional life or in his political life has come out of that for the better. No one,” he added. “So why any of our aspiring political leaders thought that they could survive being associated with him and grow from that is beyond me.”

It's highly unlikely that the rich dude not-so-subtly asking for millions to release the tape would get "sued into oblivion" by orange Hitler. Obviously part of the money he's asking for is to take care of legal issues. It's a very smart move for him.

It isn't unlikely that Trump or others would sue anyone. He sued a person for $5 billion for suggesting he wasn't worth $5 billion. Racking up damages to a presidential campaign worth tens of millions to the tune of $5 million would be trivial. It isn't unlikely that Burnett would sue someone who damaged the reputation of a former client. Of course violating a NDA with such momentous public consequences is likely to affect this guys employability/marketability.

Further, stop loving ascribing shameful motives to everyone who you disagree with on a message board before denying ever doing it; it's petty and infantile. You're more like Trump than unlike him.

This is the important bit wrt the NDA. It's not the money but the fact that showing the industry you work in how little you honor your contracts is a bad idea. Speaking of which I think one of the greater factors that will lead to Trumps business downfall post election is the fact that his strategy of "break contract to fix the budget" is going to prevent even more people from working with him. Or people will force him to pay up front.
