self-deprecation is a very british trait, and problems can arise when the british attempt to do so with a foreign culture





donald trump is like your annoying little brother who holds his hand half an inch from your face smirking and yelling that he's not touching you

as ridiculous as the content of this speech is, I want to take a minute to point out that it's actually insane all on its own that a sitting president is holding a loving campaign rally three and a half years from the next presidential election

It's not about getting reelected. It's about feeding his narcissism in order to stave off existential dread.

I thought Arpaio only lost for budgetary reasons, basically he just kept getting sued and his opponent ran on "this poo poo costs money"

That's not exaclty a fundamental rejection of his policies

No, the newspapers in the state were HAMMERING him for years and it finally caught up to him. Paul Penzone was the same guy who ran against him 4 years earlier and he's a stand up guy who did a really good job with his messaging and fundraising in 2016. Arpaio lost because AZ became sick of how much he was costing us.

I don't think he does. I think he has the secret service does it. Or he just leaves dumps in the toilet for the house keepers. "It keeps them working!"

I'm right there with you. I flit between rage and depression. You don't have to listen to his aural making GBS threads. Just read the postgame. It's not like he'll ever be presenting a new idea.

The only way I've been able to rationalize it again is that people really wanted those loving jobs he promised and I guess didn't think Clinton could deliver. If it was such a big deal though then how did her campaign miss it?

Still though Mitt Romney wasn't good enough for them, nor was John McCain but Bush and Trump.....I guess I really still don't get it, but man does the DNC ever need to reconnect with the Rust Belt. I expect a lot of focus to shift from places like Ohio and Florida to Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin especially where I'm not sure how popular Ryan still is.
