Man I miss Mitt. He was even funnier than Hillary because at least she actually had reason to believe she was ahead in the polls, and it took a perfect storm of factors beyond her own incompetence for Trump to win with unbelievably slim margins in key states, the race took all night to call, and even Trump seemed surprised he actually won. Mitt's team just made up polling numbers until it made them feel better, spent millions on victory fireworks, then got totally destroyed and the race was called like 10:05pm when the polls closed in Ohio or something.

VitalSigns posted:It's dated the day after the election so if his submission deadline is more than like 8 hours then it's a wrong prediction. Reminds me of those cartoons from last year predicting a massive red wave, only for it to be merely a drizzle.

One of the most hilariously bizarre parts of 2011/2012 was the way the right wing echo chamber convinced itself that Obama was the least popular and most hated person in the country. The man is famously handsome, charming, and charismatic. I was in a very red part of the country, and even if they didn't like his politics or want him to be president, I would still hear GOP voters admit that they "liked" him in an abstract sense.

they themselves didn't even catch on that all they were doing was "lol gaffe" comics and not, you know, "real" issues. "obama saluted someone while holding a coffee cup! surely THIS will be the end of him!" they unironically sneered. there was one by lester of obama navigating a maze of "gaffees" like, a tan suit, a marine holding an umbrella, something about a dog? obama once killed a fly? ad it's like guys, if all you have is innuendo and gaffes aren't things pretty good? i'm just saying. but here's every political cartoonist on earth screaming "guys did you see that biden fell!!??" and, unironicly, thinking "surely THIS will be the end of him!" while the other side posts your cadidate's literal mugshot. "guys! guys! something about alias emails? good ol' sleepy joe creating fake emails and falling off bikes!"

China Daily A dangerous gift by Luo Jie  Nuclear monster by Cai Meng  Kinda dropped the ball on showing the monster from the (not solely) China produced Meg 2. Joe's priority by Luo Jie  Practically an American right-wing cartoon. Except for that final panel of course. Charlie Hebdo  Olympic Spirit "Excuse me but there's a rat in my 1000 euro a night room." "Did he tell you if he was getting breakfast?" Prices are going to sky rocket next year during the Olympics. Even at the worst hotels. I've been tempted to do some sort of flat-sharing and make a month or two months rent, but I don't want to be exploitative and I don't want a stranger in my flat.  Twitter really was the worst. On the general toxic environment on Twitter.  Russian Top Chef Prigojine, Putin's chef has been eliminated "I gave him a cooking lesson."  The Seine is too polluted for the Olympics In the end the events will take place at home A triathlon event was cancelled due to pollution. It bodes ill for the Olympics themselves. I'm hoping they do fix it though. I'd love to swim in a nice cleanish river. Having grown up by the sea I miss currents and natural water. Pools just don't cut it and just seem like a lot of trouble to go through.  Apparently the town of Draveil is facing a ton of mosquitos. As an American expat I've never understood why Europeans don't have screen windows/doors. Let the air in, keep the bugs out! We don't do a lot of stuff right in the US but it just makes sense, instead people just complain about all the flies and mosquitoes when it seems like a pretty solvable issue. I get the windows aren't designed in that way but still.

I remember Mitt's goose being cooked like 2 hours after the results started coming in and he went and took the initiative of cutting off the campaign credit cards to the staffers. A lot of people then had no way to get home after the election night party at Mitt's campaign HQ.

I dont know posted:One of the most hilariously bizarre parts of 2011/2012 was the way the right wing echo chamber convinced itself that Obama was the least popular and most hated person in the country. The man is famously handsome, charming, and charismatic. I was in a very red part of the country, and even if they didn't like his politics or want him to be president, I would still hear GOP voters admit that they "liked" him in an abstract sense. My take on this is they had overwhelming hatred for him being a black Democrat in "their" White House, but also really poor insight into their own feelings and genuinely didn't think they were racist, so the disgust they felt at seeing Obama be President must be that he's just personally odious and off-putting. They thought it was him and he had the same effect on everyone when in reality it was just them. That's why they didn't make that mistake with, say, Bill Clinton. They knew he was popular and charismatic and they just sent up a sacrificial old guy to lose to him while they focused on holding congress.
