The 2011 Presidential Press Dinner when Obama and Seth Meyer taunted Trump and he waddled into a trap no one had realised had been set. It is classical tragedy: the protagonist destroyed by his internal nemesis. :hist101:

Remind me to link to my academic article later titled "Trump? Right or WRong for America? Wrong. He is Wrong for America." I use a Jamisonian postmodern lens with an ironic nod to The Shining in which, in MLA format, it just says "WRONG. WRONG. WRONG." for thirty pages, including a works cited that is "WRONG, WRONG. WRONG. WRONG." in hanging indent.

It was very controversial when it was published to the point that it was never published.

I must have been sleeping during the 8-year period where The Donald conquered the gently caress out of the US's neighbors. Or when he had pirates crucified after getting them more ransom money in a show of excellent deal-making.

This analogy will work if he gets stabbed by Jeb!

funny story about the national reconnaissance office

a few years back out of the blue they donated a couple telescopes to nasa because they were considered obsolete

they were built around the same time as the hubble but the nasa scientists were baffled because they were far superior and they had no idea who worked on them, which is weird because it's not a huge field and they pretty much knew everyone

I wonder if Trump's even been asked about developments in the Phillipines. The president just took a trip to China where he said he was severing economic and military ties with the US in exchange for China canceling some of its debts, letting Filipino fishermen fish off the reefs that are off the coast of the Philippines but that China wants, money for drug rehab centers, and building a railroad.

i watched a bit of the primary debates again and trump seemed so much more collected and in control, even when hes throwing out absurd ridiculous insults. he seems a lot more wordsalady and angry against hillary, and hillary definitely handles him better than any of the GOP guys who dared attack him. could be he just has to talk a lot more on these 1v1 whereas in the primary debates he could back off whenever and let rand squeal something instead

i think some of it is that and some of it is that he really just doesn't have the stamina (lol) to run a complete campaign. but i totally know what you're talking about, the difference is night and day. so much more on message and in control

supposedly the first trump tower was actually a pretty impressive business deal. this is something i read in a bio that was critical of every other aspect of his life

The Frontline documentary said this too. I don't think Donald is devoid of intelligence or talent. I just think he's an awful human being who is crippled by his personality disorder in many aspects. If he wasn't born into massive wealth, I have to wonder if he'd be able to get ahead with his self-sabotaging narcissism.

so what will Team Clinton release today to infuriate trump? It has to be related to something he said during the debate

I like this "he's come so far" stuff. The GOP voted in an untalented lunatic that mortally wounded his campaign on the first debate, but hey, this time he only grievously wounded his campaign. Let's give him some credit for being slightly less incompetent.

I suspect that the Clinton camp will delay any release unless it alludes directly to Trump and extremism. The stuff with not accepting the result is too damning to overshadow right now.
