Trump is going to make America so great, probably the greatest country ever, just a country of winners, we're going to be tired of winning so much

i really can't read these threads that effectively anymore due to the sheer volume, but sometimes i do catch an occasional page with some comedy gold on it and that makes me happy us politics has never been better but i feel like we might be building up a resistance to insane conservative politicians, to get the same high in 2020 we're going to need some real awesome candidates, like maybe a for-real white nationalist with a big swastika on his forehead, running against sarah palin after she's been possessed by the ghost of mussolini, and herman cain will show up again because he's pretty cool

My facebook feed this morning has been blowing up with two Jill Stein things 1) Apparently she said that wifi signals harm children 2) She tweeted that vaccines don't cause autism and was apparently badgered into taking that tweet down I assume this means that she's pandering to her crazy stupid base but is there a point? Doesn't she already have the Green Party nomination?

sarmhan posted:For this year yes. Ah so you're saying that she probably has to keep pandering in order to keep the gravy train flowing for future elections, because even Jill Stein knows that she has no shot at actually winning and all of that Green Party money goes away if she starts to express opinions that aren't crazy. I think that's probably the right answer

Lester Shy posted:I love that in the span eight tweets, he goes from frothing rage, calling for open revolution to "welp, better luck next time." And in the intervening 20 minutes, someone explained to him how the electoral college works and he managed to misspell a three letter word. The oldest tweets are on the bottom, not the top. He started out going "back to the drawing board" nonchalantly and then within 10 minutes has become a frothing lunatic because Trump has no self-control or reason. Presumably someone took away his phone at that point and then Trump's rage was redirected to whatever poor staffer made that mistake

Gyges posted:Never wear a US Flag. First it's against flag code, and if you actually cared about Worse than that, his casino was indistinguishable from being a straight-up scam. It's clear that he never intended for anything to be profitable, which is why he put so little of his own money into it and had the business wrack up insane amounts of debt. Trump was basically getting a huge salary and didn't have to deal with the fallout Each and every one of Trump's business ventures has been peak Trump: literally just a scam to rake in money for Trump at the expense of everyone else

, you'd follow flag code. Second, you'll be confused with the vast majority of people wearing the flag as clothing, who are hateful assholes just waiting for all the minorities to be out of earshot so they can drop some truth bombs on your. Third, and, really, most importantly, it's tacky as poo poo. If you've gotta put that flag on yourself go with a nice, understated flag pin.

paperwind posted:Is it just me or did Trump stay relatively sane by his own standards today? I did hear from Joe Scarborough that some military advisor said Trump had asked him more than one time why we can't use nuclear weapons, but that seems to be about the worst thing from today and it didn't actually come directly from Trump's own mouth. Okay but we don't usually measure someone's insanity by "their own" standards, like we're still talking about a guy who asking whether global nuclear war would be so bad

I love this clip. "It's not just that the media is biased, it's that (Trump) is giving them help and aid along the way!" Not even Fox News can maintain the idea that Trump's campaign is competently run.

Evil Fluffy posted:NC's Gerrymandering is the focus of a lawsuit and it's probably the most severe case of it in the country so if Clinton wins and appoints a 5th liberal to the bench maybe we'll see a ruling that rigging representation (at least to some extent) is unconstitutional. IIRC Sanders is also pro-vaccination which would make him toxic to the Green base

Spaced God posted:I'm surprised someone hasn't used the super dumb "if you're not doing anything wrong, why are you against data collection" argument yet. Follow that up with all of the hubbub over the government asking Apple to unlock some cell phone and then one day just saying "Nevermind, we didn't need your help after all". Most of the encryption that people use are based on things like SHA, AES, etc -- all things that the NSA has either developed or at least helped develop. "Well I'll just use some sort of open source encryption algorithm" is usually a bad idea because your average computer programmer doesn't know how to write good encryption software, and your average cryptologist doesn't know how to write secure code. You need to be able to do both extremely well in order to have a system that actually works and that isn't easily breakable. QuarkJets fucked around with this message at 01:33 on Aug 7, 2016 |

fishmech posted:You're a bit confused: the only good encryption is open source encryption, because then it can be mathematically proven to work well, since you know exactly how it works. AES and so on are all "open source". Yes yes I'm aware of the open source ideal of "the software will reach a point of perfection because literally anyone can look at and modify the source code!" But that's a double-edged sword, as it is also very easy to subtly compromise open source software, especially when the topic is as poorly-understood among programmers as cryptography often is. And while there are some great open source projects, the reality is that most of them suck and if you just close your eyes and pick some random open source encryption project off of github then chances are good that you're going to have something lovely and full of vulnerabilities because encryption is legit hard, yo. e: Also please note that you're the one turning this into an open vs closed source argument. My point was simply that "open source" is not a magic bullet to software vulnerability QuarkJets fucked around with this message at 06:00 on Aug 7, 2016 |

Yinlock posted:One of the big things about Hillary this election is that Bernie nudged her platform and the Liberals general discourse farther left though. It's like she actually examined why a good chunk of people were flocking to the "outsider" candidate instead of infighting and backstabbing so hard that an orange lunatic looks like the sane one. Clinton had been solidly progressive on most of the issues long before the Sanders campaign was a thing. This March 2015 DailyKos article says that she was the "11th most liberal" Senator during her time in office, according to an analysis of Senate voting records. I think that Sanders helped change the general discourse in a good way, but I don't think that Clinton's politics have changed much because she was already on board with almost everything that Sanders supports. The biggest area where she could go further left would be to renounce her war hawk positions, but fat chance of that happening.

FuzzySlippers posted:Whenever people blame Nader for causing a close election they miss how Gore did everything he could to gently caress it up too. You can't just place all of the blame on any one thing, obviously, but it's not like anyone has a time machine and can just go tell Gore to run a better campaign. But they can possibly convince left-leaning 3rd party voters to not passively let a Republican roll into office, and there's nothing wrong with trying to do that.

Eschers Basement posted:So, the Trump campaign released a statement: If you think that the statement is saying "yeah it's fine to go ahead and kill Hillary" then no, that's not notable. Acknowledging that Trump's statement was an obvious call for someone to shoot Clinton does the opposite of what this statement is trying to accomplish, there's nothing more to read out of it than that.

FuzzySlippers posted:That's only if you can make a case for there being a difference to someone on the far left for one candidate over the other winning. In 2000 contrasting Bill with Bush Sr and contrasting Gore with W during the campaign it was easy to wash your hands of all the bastards. Gore and W were substantially different, though. At that point you're just talking to someone with no grounding in reality and you should probably walk away (this suggestion applies to people arguing with 3rd party voters who think that Clinton and Trump are equivalent)

Even our recent big BLM marches that went "bad" weren't anything to write home about compared to other large cities. Because it's too loving hot out for things to go really really bad Can you imagine setting poo poo on fire when it's 120 out, with a low of 110? Even the other protestors would be like "dude what the gently caress are you thinking, it's hot enough out here and you want to make it hotter? Put the lighter down you dumbfuck."
