I hope that more polls are done in red states that Clinton could potentially take. We know that she has more than enough states to solidly put her past 270. The victor has all but been decided, so now I want to see how far she could possibly go after what's happened.

The Vindication of Prester Jane by the Reporter Olivia Nuzzi http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/10/11/former-donald-trump-executive-he-s-a-supreme-sexist.html In the early days, Res said, Trump was the kind of guy who respected people who talked back, like she did. But then something changed. “I learned very quickly when I went back that you don’t talk back to him anymore,” she said. “If I had to tell him something, an idea of his was stupid or I didn’t want to do it, I would try to figure out a way to make him think that he had changed his mind, or that my idea was his idea, and I used to tell him how great he was and how great Ivana was all the time.” Res explained that as Trump’s fame grew, his ability to withstand criticism—or even honesty—shrank. “He got too famous. He started believing his own poo poo,” she said. “He got way too famous and, you know, people were telling him he was great and he was buying that. He started thinking that he walked on water, he really did.” ... “Now,” she said, “I don’t think he respects anybody. I don’t think there’s a person alive that he respects, because he thinks he’s God.”

Everything we know about Trump definitely shows that once he got more famous and saw himself as more and more powerful, his respect and valuation of people other than him dropped off the face of the earth. Another fascinating aspect I realized listening to the Trumpcast on the Pussyghazi tape was that Trump doesn't sound like a sex pervert in the usual sense, but he sounds like someone who is desperately trying to show to other men how big of a stud he is. His bragging about conquests is more about using sex in a political or influential way and projecting an image of himself to other men. It doesn't mean he's just talk, but his motivation in grabbing women by the pussy might be driven more by a need to prove himself to other men rather than receiving sexual pleasure or dominating women (when the feeling of power is the usual motivation for rapists and abusers, so instead of feeling powerful by abusing, he abuses because it's something powerful men do). He's just such a messed up person and making him the most powerful person on the planet is so incredibly dangerous.

Antti posted:Everything we know about Trump definitely shows that once he got more famous and saw himself as more and more powerful, his respect and valuation of people other than him dropped off the face of the earth. Rape and sexual assault, more often than not, isn't about sex it's about power. Whether that's specifically showing you have power over women or a means of showing you have the power to do poo poo like this to people and get away with it, that's motivation. If he just wanted sex he'd bang his wife or hire a call girl. Calling some young lady into his office and starting to kiss her is his way of proving to himself that he's famous and powerful enough that he can do this. And if he stops to think about it, he'll feel she must have wanted it (more proof that he's famous and powerful) otherwise he would have put up more of a fight. Bragging about it afterwards is just more proof that he's powerful enough to get away with it.

The bicameral system was a compromise between larger states like Virginia and smaller ones like New Hampshire when the delegations were drawing up the Constitution. It's absolutely a way to balance the population differences by lending populous states a substantial voice via the house but having the Senate have to also pass the legislation for it to go to the President for signing.

A lot of people I know using password reset functions anytime they sign into anything (save immediately critical stuff like email which probably has a dead-easy password) so this doesn't surprise me.

botany posted:yeah that also never happened Mavric posted:Is this a thing? wikipedia posted:Linguist Noam Chomsky and scholar Edward S. Herman were among the academics who examined the conflicting reports of the situation in Cambodia in 1977. On June 6, 1977, Chomsky and Herman published an article in The Nation which contrasted the views expressed in books by Barron and Paul, Ponchaud, and Porter and Hildebrand, and in articles and accounts by Butterfield, Bragg, Kahin, Cazaux, Shanberg, Tolgraven and others. Chomsky and Herman noted the conflicting information in the various accounts, and suggested that after the "failure of the American effort to subdue South Vietnam and to crush the mass movements elsewhere in Indochina" that there was now "a campaign to reconstruct the history of these years so as to place the role of the United States in a more favorable light". This rewriting of history by the establishment press was served well by "tales of Communist atrocities, which not only prove the evils of communism but undermine the credibility of those who opposed the war and might interfere with future crusades for freedom." They wrote that the refugee stories of Khmer Rouge atrocities should be treated with great "care and caution" because "refugees are frightened and defenseless, at the mercy of alien forces. They naturally tend to report what they believe their interlocuters wish to hear." lozzle fucked around with this message at 13:17 on Oct 11, 2016 |

that was commentary on the portrayal of US action in US media, as was the '79 book that is commonly (mis)quoted when people are trying to make chomsky out to be a khmer rouge apologist. that whole book by the way was about the way that US media condemned pol pot's massacres while at the same time being complicit in the massacres in east timor. the whole argument of the book depends on chomsky acknowledging the massacres of the khmer rouge. Minimalist Program posted:Woah, look at this guy who wants to kiss and marry Noam Chomsky. i actually don't like chomsky very much, i just think it's ridiculous that people are attempting to claim he said literally the exact opposite of what he's been writing about for years.

Mavric posted:Is this a thing? No, Chomsky never said "Pol Pot did nothing wrong" or anything resembling that. He and a fellow academic Edward Herman called into question the validity of certain casualty figures coming out of Cambodia during the genocide. They thought that the numbers were inflated and that the Western press was ignoring alternative figures that were lower and might be more accurate. Long story short, the numbers weren't inflated, Chomsky hasn't denied the scale of killings since. However, for desperate reactionary asshats who want to discredit Chomsky it's the only card they have so they'll play it until the end of time.
