He also tried to kidnap the last living Unicorn so that he could put it in a zoo. He changed his ways after being visited by a trio of Christmas ghosts  Wonder what Christmas will be like for the Trumps this year

So maybe its because I have a concussion but can anyone TLDR the new O'Keefe videos? I watched 2 of them and they were so slow and dry I just lost focus. I know people have been fired much like in the Acorn case, but is this a big nothing again in terms of election shenanigans? Like is it that bad this man Cramer is organizing ducks?

I want to know how there are still undecided voters. I know we hear this every election but - how can you be undecided, it's so far over the top we've all gone goofy. This is not blue vs red ideas, one of these people refused to condemn the KKK, among many other things. What is the issue that undecided voters are waiting for, where the candidates say what they REALLY mean? "when will they put Law&Order back on netflix?" Ok that is a valid question. What, how.

Come to think of it did any of the big party Big Wigs try to step in to advise Trump on his campaign? I mean it's totally in character for him to refuse any help and stick to his core staff of yes men, but it'd be glaring oversight if the GOP just let him go into the race barebacked without at least begging him to listen for a bit.

The one thing Bernie would have probably been worse at is sticking Trump with the kinds of character and personality based attacks that have really destroyed him. Hillary has shown no mercy there and Bernie would spend too much time on how amazing his political revolution would be. I mean I'm sure any national politician would be able to get some mileage out of how deplorable Trump is but Bernie wouldn't be maximizing that

Sitting here at work listening to people talk outside my office. The basic gist is that they hate both candidates and say we're screwed either way. Their solution is to treat the presidency like jury duty and randomly select people for the office. US voters in a nutshell.

As far as I could tell, the problem wasn't the word "issue"; it was a fundamental lack of understanding of what constituted the broad category of the "political." The undecideds I spoke to didn't seem to have any intuitive grasp of what kinds of grievances qualify as political grievances. Often, once I would engage undecided voters, they would list concerns, such as the rising cost of health care; but when I would tell them that Kerry had a plan to lower health-care premiums, they would respond in disbelief--not in disbelief that he had a plan, but that the cost of health care was a political issue. It was as if you were telling them that Kerry was promising to extend summer into December.

I imagine that they are either sheltered suburbanites who have no understanding of what an issue even is or Republicans too squeamish to pull the lever for Trump, but too indoctrinated to commit to switching sides. Either way, morons.

Evil Fluffy posted:Scrooge, the character with a magical coin that ensures he can't fail any endeavor as long as he possesses it, made his money honestly? This is completely non-Scrooge-canonical. Magica de Spell believes this to be the case, but she's batshit crazy. For Scrooge, the dime is just a sentimental source of inspiration that helped drive him to achieving his fortune. He built his empire by being "tougher than the toughies and smarter than the smarties." And he did it square. Read the Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck by Don Rosa, then tell me Scrooge got where he is thanks to a "lucky" dime. Edit: Err, just ignore that little lapse in judgment he had in Africa circa 1904 where he went a little too  on the native populace.

Cerebral Bore posted:I don't really see the big difference here, so if you could expan on the point I'd appreciate it. Unless you've already drank the Republican kool-aid, you aren't just going to accept every wild accusation the GOP throws at the Democrat uncritically (well you might if you're an undecided voter because undecided voters have a void where their brains should be). "Obama is a secret Muslim! Obama is a socialist!" isn't going to convince many Dems or even independents without some kind of logic or proof. On the other hand, the candidate himself copping to the S-word is going to raise a lot of eyebrows, especially among the older generations who lived through the Cold War. Most Democrats probably wouldn't care, but there is definitely a chunk that would (you have to remember that not all Democrats are liberal). Same goes for independents who might tolerate liberal policies but draw the line at "Socialism." It's just an incredibly toxic label in American politics that hasn't fully lost its power from the days of McCarthy, and voluntarily attaching it to yourself--even if it's true--is not smart politics (unless your constituents are into that kind of thing, which might be true in Vermont but certainly isn't true of the US as a whole. At least not yet.) NaanViolence posted:Available evidence suggests that Bernie would be even further ahead of Donald than Hillary is now. Trump's scandals would still be wrecking him.

Many of the Trump/Pence yard signs vanished in the wake of the hurricane here in Florida and never came back, but even the ones that remained are now pretty much gone. The one Trump yard sign on my street is on the driveway of the cop who lives there, of course.

Also I have a suspicion everyone is breaking these rules, but I don't know enough for that to be anything other than speculation. Carly Fiorina pushed harder than anyone else with her PAC, actually getting in trouble for the name of her PAC: Carly for America. It was too blatant. So they changed their name to: CONSERVATIVE, AUTHENTIC, RESPONSIVE LEADERSHIP FOR YOU AND FOR AMERICA Or CARLY for America. That was accepted. Also her campaign and PAC shared a mailing address. Fiorina also published the campaign's schedule publicly, and her PAC coincidentally showed up to all of those events and provided equipment. They weren't coordinating, the PAC, out of it's own will just showed up like any other organization could have. This loving Duck thing? It's nothing.

Clinton campaign hired people to go to Trump rallies wearing Planned Parenthood shirts which apparently counts as "inciting violence." Apparently also Donald Duck costumes? I haven't watched the latest one. The second video tries to spin "bussing people who can't drive themselves to polling places" into "voter fraud," pretty much. Someone also mentions that they hire mentally ill people to "do poo poo" but never clarifies what that poo poo is, so maybe they're, like, hiring people to do work like stuffing envelopes and stuff? But anyway O'Keefe assumes they're out beating up Trump supporters so that went in the video.
