Tiny Brontosaurus posted:Yeah, there's something though. Beyond just inordinate amounts of charisma, which most of the modern presidents on both sides have had. I met Al Gore, John Kasich and Newt during the gov't shutdown in 1996. My dad's good buddy was on Bill's secret service detail so we got an after-hours tour of the West Wing. The negotiations were going on and we met those three as they were leaving. Gore was kinda quiet, Kasich was super friendly and I remember thinking Newt was real loving weird. I also got to go into the Roosevelt Room and hold TR's Nobel Prize and I got to take a step into the Oval. I still have a picture of 11 year old me behind the Press Pool podium when the pool were all in there. Oh and we were late going into the West Wing because Clinton was having a sexual encounter with Lewinsky and we weren't allowed into the WW while the President was there. Good times! My Mom still has a WH Christmas Tree ornament and a box of presidential M&Ms floating around somewhere. Edit: Also just remembered that there were a poo poo-ton of Dortio's bags in the Roosevelt Room because that's where the negotiations were taking place.

There's actually someone else it reminds me of and I'm loving blanking on it and it's pissing me off. But yeah, it's a rare level and it's practically enchanting.

theflyingorc posted:if you told me that bill clinton was the reason mcdonalds started doing all day breakfast i would legitimately believe you Actually I happen to know the reason McD's is doing all-day breakfast, and it's hilarious. About ten years ago I produced a corporate gig for them and had a bunch of high-level meetings at Hamburger University where they talked about long-term strategy. The decline in fast food sales was starting to get undeniable, and the franchise-holders were starting to panic. The suits walked me through the "in case of emergency, break glass" business plan if things got too bad, and all-day breakfast was the last item on the list. McDonalds in the US is hosed. They're focusing on becoming a third-world brand almost entirely, and fully expect to shrink down to a coffee-and-egg-sandwich shop in the US within a generation.

If I lost one of my kids like that I can't say I wouldn't latch onto *circumstance* as the sole cause of my child's death and crusade against it as some sort of way to try to assuage my grief. As someone with young children, almost just the thought of it is enough to mentally unhinge you. I have absolutely no doubt that I would become permanently unable to deal with reality.

Dr. Arbitrary posted:I think Vilerat's wife has made only one major statement about the event, and it was pretty much that the State Department kept her in the loop and she always felt up to date. Definitely the last one. I know that if you make a designation on some forms in the government that designation always takes precedence. People can and do accidentally leave things like their retirement survivor's benefits to their ex-spouse.

I worry about Pat Smith making an elaborate scene during a lull for the cameras (either directed by Trump or not). Scream about Clinton murdering her son, and bursting into tears. If I were a monster, that's what I'd do (pay that awful woman to do it).

Politico had a story a few days back that due to the Trump circus they've changed the entrance rules for this debate. No more ritual greeting between the campaign/family groups just everyone going straight to their chairs by different routes.

And yes, GOP members that are encouraging her to take this to a national stage are the ones to blame. edit: Strawberry Sandusky

Epic High Five posted:I've always thought Love Trumps Hate was dumb because my brain automatically parses it to mean that they're in favor of the hate Trump spews Dilbert guy is a hilarious retard but he's quite good on what actually persuades people and he thought so too. It's a dumb slogan, because it also has LOVE TRUMP which probably wasn't the message they wanted. Interestingly so is that /pol hashtag #nextfaketrumpvictim, because it puts fake and trump together, as well as next trump victim, aa well as trump and victim (rather than TRUMP WINNAR). Just all round useless.

Pick posted:My dad knows the head of one of the departments, but seeing Bush was a total coincidence when we were in town Chelsea Clinton actually came to a school dance at my school in the early 90's. But of course I wasn't at a school dance because my hard-core goonage even predates the existence of somethingawful. I did see Sasha Obama at a Bat Mitzvah party I was working at though. So I guess I redeemed my missed opportunity of seeing a president's 13 year old daughter somewhere?

Someone left his book lying around at work so I tried reading it, but the first or second chapter had a rant about the LIBERAL MEDIA and how it was basically their fault a helicopter got shot down. I put it back down and I have no interest in reading the rest of his bullshit.

See, my immediate thought was "No way his wife doesn't smell that on him, or ask him why he's showering at 8pm." I'm kinda glad he was offering instead of covering his rear end.
