In the New York aristocracy, it's vitally important to play at philanthropy - schmoozing at charity events and dinners and opera and whatnot as you give away a pittance of your wealth that's tax deductible is how you (far more importantly than however much money you spend) make friends and contacts, wheel and deal and gain influence and statue. The noveau riche can and do play the New York high society game just fine, Mark Cuban for example. Trump continually insisted on never giving away a cent and making monetary profit on everything. That is simply not how the game is played with the New York and Washington aristocracy, and Trump's never understood that.

There's so much about this election to love, but my favorite part as of right now is watching my most ardent Gary Johnson supporting Facebook friend have an absolute meltdown. Dude is spouting off that our grandchildren will be worse off than 19th century slaves if we don't stand up and put a stop to this now.

Boon posted:I still don't understand why Cruz folded after so publicly making his stand. Cruz genuinely thought he had seized the mantle of being the darling tea-party anti-establishment outsider, because he's an idiot who didn't understand just how fickle and dumb the tea party actually is. As soon as he turned on Trump he became "the establishment," panicked, and tried to pivot way too late after the damage was done.

Boon posted:I still don't understand why Cruz folded after so publicly making his stand. Basically. His polling showed it was massively unpopular and he was looking at getting primaried, and remember that Trump was kinda looking like he was coming back because it was right before the debate. I'm guessing he was banking on the same thing we were all arzying about : That the Media was going to be super eager to declare a Trump Upset in the debate. Instead he got dumpsters and so did Cruz.

I suspect if Trump hadn't been running for President he'd have been able to do fine at something like the Al Smith dinner roasting. He's an experienced entertainer. The guy's a mess right now though. This whole last month has been a slow motion train wreck for him. Not only is it becoming increasingly clear that he's likely to lose the election in a massive blowout and there's nothing he can do to prevent it anymore, but also as a result of his presidential ambitions, all his sleazy behavior over the years is starting to come to light. His name and brand, his main assets, are poo poo now because of his presidential run. Things may even be difficult at home because of his lovely behavior becoming public knowledge and his wife getting arm twisted into having to defend him on TV. It wouldn't surprise me if there's a lot of shouting, anger and turmoil in his campaign staff meetings or whatever passes for them. The national campaign guy being announced as off the campaign during the Al Smith event is another sign of that. Maybe the guy got sick of the bullshit and quit, or Trump fired him in anger. He's probably a complete ball of rage, no way to be the charming entertainer under those circumstances.

Like, you don't actually have to pray when your head is bowed, you can replay funny cat gifs in your mind or whatever. Just try to show some basic respect. You're basing this off a single picture. I bet he put his head down when he realized everyone else had theirs down.

Lightning Knight posted:The Russian Army is a rusting pile of scrap metal, their economy is in shambles, and Germany alone could stand up to them and do just fine if they wanted to. Any war would escalate to nuclear otherwise and Putin values his power. He's just sabre rattling. Germany certainly could be capable, but they've basically disarmed since reunification. Their military is a shell of what it was in 1991.

Hillary only played Epic: Armageddon with fluffy lists that nonetheless manage to kick rear end in the board, and is probably one of a handful of people that actually got an Inquisitor campaign going. She totally dropped the whole thing after predicting the coming of Age of Sigmar years in advance.

Stereotype posted:I think now that it is very difficult to worry about Hillary losing the election, we can start worrying about her being impeached by a rabidly idiotic Republican House immediately after she is inaugurated. I do worry that she won't be able to do enough good without even the two years of a non-hostile Congress that Obama had to fulfill the whole "People like re-electing more than electing her" thing. gently caress, if we can't get the House back in a landslide year where the Republcian candidate isn't helping and in some cases I'd actively fighting downticket members of his own party, when can we get it back? Do we have to hope that the next Republican to be elected president only destroys the country just enough to create a midterm wave against them? Hope that Trump and the deplorables are broken in such a specific way that they take the nomination again? If Hillary wins in 2020, will the Democrats control states that can undo the gerrymandering?
