Kale posted:I've literally never heard about this Donna Brazile person before last week or so and now she's apparently the absolute most loving important topical person in U.S politics right now or something. She seemed a relatively innocuous pick to take over the DNC temporarily, at least until the election, after Debbie Wassermann-Schultz got implicated in email leaks as overtly favoring Hillary Clinton in the primaries. I mean, in reality EVERYONE wanted DWS out, and it was as good a reason as any to drop an incompetent chairperson. Bernie supporters cried foul when it was revealed that Brazile leaked a debate question to Hillary. That it was an obvious question (Flint's water supply) made it all the more galling to those concerned that any DNC chairperson would guide the institution to support Hillary over challengers. Brazile was probably just trying to ingratiate herself to Hillary, obvious 2016 presidential election victor. Hillary lost and Perez took over. The granular details of the DNC's awful mismanagement under DWS are good lessons to keep in mind and hopefully the party's learned from its past and won't make the same mistakes. That being said, Brazile seems in it to make a buck for herself, and selling her dignity with photo ops with Clarke and appearances on Tucker pretty much cement the fact she's trying to leech money off wingnut welfare with a book probably built around feeding the conservative hunger for hillary dragging. I wonder how far she'll let herself get dragged down that rabbit hole. Nietzche would have some choice words about gazing into the right wing abyss.

The impression I'm getting is she's running the talk show circuit that is interested in interviewing her right now. Not really surprised that Carlson would have her for reasons already mentioned in this thread. I'm expecting her to show up on Late Show any day now.

Bakanogami posted:Has anyone ever actually seen Trump tweet? Like, I know that supposedly he just yells at an aide who writes it down because he's a technological neanderthal, but I'm always curious how dictation manages to get translated into the word salad of caps that shows up on twitter. And what about the weird 3 am tweetstorms? Does he actually type those out himself with his old man thumbs or does he wake up his secretary or whatever? The writeup from the campaign days is here. The gist is the Trump Twitter Feed is very Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde, with the aide tweets being Jekyll and Trump himself being the Hyde. When Trump tweets, it's typically angrier and more incoherent, he only uses text, displayed (at the time, at least) a tendency to copy-and-paste retweets rather than use the actual retweet function, and generally displayed no understanding of Twitter's functions beyond basic text tweeting. When an aide tweets, it's usually calmer, more grammatically composed, and makes use of things like hashtags and image/video links.

It was some FAKENEWS CNN bashing and was like a 7/10 on the unhinged scale. Of course a lot of his crazier ones are trump's own, but its worth recognizing that by now his staff have his delightful little quirks down pat

birds posted:uhhh wait, so this guy is a nazi who practices islam? am i reading this correctly? A post from way back, but I only just read this as I woke up and scrolling through what I had missed, so: I have known several Muslims who either sympathize with or actually have outright Nazi views and would say they were Nazis. The reasons are myriad, but can be summarized with being brought up with a hatred for Jews instilled by parents and madrassas, propaganda that focuses on Arabic Supremacy being blasted on all the channels he watched or in one particular case a very extreme variant of cultural insulation ( he outright wanted to ship all Arabs to the middle East and build a wall trump style to keep everyone else out, years before Trump was a thing). Another egregious example was one mentioning Noah's Ark as "proof" Jews had been so evil so as to lead to the near death of the world, as mentioned in holy books. I had some issues trying to explain that that poo poo never loving happened.

"Well, you see, Stalin's program was socialist, the benefits went to the state and the people while private prisons the benefits go directly to the rich fat cat shareholders" It's not that weird. If people can rationalize that Trump is the hardest working president ever, people can rationalize anything

http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/08/politics/donald-trump-xi-jinping-statement/index.html What a loving coward Trump is. It really never stops being amazing what a basic bitch fraidy cat he is at the core. He'll make fun of a disabled reporter in front of a friendly crowd, but can't do anything other than give sloppy eager blowjobs to the worlds various strongmen and dictators, even ones he specifically campaigned on being harsh with.

terrorist ambulance posted:http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/08/politics/donald-trump-xi-jinping-statement/index.html Trump owes the success he has had in business (namely not being run out of the business world on a rail) to an incredible ability to completely discard all previously held positions in a way that causes the the person he is currently talking with to think that they have convinced him to change his mind and that they are right. People loving love thinking that they have flipped someone to their side. It would be a superpower if he had actual control over it, but even if he did in the past he very clearly doesn't now. Whoever he last talked to determines his views on things.

Hey remember when Trump compared Chinese trade practices to rape? quote:"Who can blame a country for being able taking advantage of another country for the benefit of its citizens?" Trump said as Xi watched on from a few feet away. Nervous laughter rippled through the crowd of Chinese and American business executives, whose firms are inking new deals here in a spectacle meant to demonstrate Trump's negotiating prowess.
