The Glumslinger posted:It was funny, but really that is all there is to it. Trump hosed up, took forever to notice, then doubled down on it being intentional. Its a microcosm of everything about him, but it also means loving nothing in the grand scheme of things.

STAC Goat posted:I don't think she called it intentional, but I haven't been able to find the clip or a direct quote so I'm going on my flawed memory. But when I saw it I thought she said the White House was happy to see us distracted with something dumb, not that they actively planned it. But I can't find anything to confirm/correct. found it http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/31/politics/hillary-clinton-covfefe/index.html plus what the other guy quoted and yea, i don't see a problem with what she said?

Interesting story in the LA Times, about a democratic town hall in CA where a couple of Trumpers derailed the town hall, which was specifically focused on Trump's Immigration policies http://www.latimes.com/politics/essential/la-pol-ca-essential-politics-updates-three-arrested-at-rep-lou-correa-1496250254-htmlstory.html quote:About a dozen people were having none of it. Some of the most tense moments came when Correa started talking about green card holders who served in the U.S. military and have since been deported.

skylined! posted:found it Yeah, you can interpret that "that's what an authoritarian does" line as "it was all planned!" but that feels like a stretch to me. She mocked it a couple of times and then I think she was just saying "but seriously, they like it when you get distracted from the real scandals with stupid stuff like this". Which is 100% true and fair. I have some disagreements with some other stuff she said but it's the sort of disagreements I've had with her for the better part of the last couple of decades. Shes not changing that and no one should expect her to just go away. Which some people obviously do. STAC Goat fucked around with this message at 00:49 on Jun 1, 2017 |

If Trump had a brain in his skull, he'd realize he could just tweet nonsensical things about old TV shows and McDonalds and it would distract people away from things that matter

Apropos of nothing, I've decided that "covfefe" was not only mistakenly typed and sent when Donald Trump accidentally fell off the toilet mid-tweet, but was also the audible noise he made as he did. I got no sources for this other than my own amusement/sanity.

I suspect this is more of a problem in government than private sector but this issue certainly isn't just in the EPA. That said, my part of government functions pretty well though complaints about DC & managerial direction from there aren't uncommon.

Groovelord Neato posted:there's no reason for her to bring up the last bit unless she's assigning that intent. I interpret that as her responding to Spicer's cryptic non-answer as the "authoritarian" thing she's calling attention to. Not that Trump intentionally tweeted a typo as a clever distraction, but that the White House is happy to throw a log on the fire to let that keep distracting people from all the actual news. I don't KNOW that my interpretation is her intention but the ambiguity seems clear if we're being fair. She never said "intentional", she at best implied it as an afterthought after repeatedly mocking it.

She's arguing trump's tweeting in general is a purposeful distraction from issues that damage him, not that every individual tweet is some multilayered psyop. This is immediately obvious to anyone whose brain didn't break 8 months ago.

Hillary is a corrupt politician but hilariously better in every way than Trump and the anger on her is a combination of - internalized misogyny - internalization of decades of smears - anger at her for losing to trump - berniebro-ing - finding a way to blame someone besides racist white people - a very small % of totally valid poo poo like "she literally praised reagan for his work on AIDS" or "she's supports a foreign policy that causes the death of innocents" are totally valid but rarely brought up
