Them whining about not getting enough access is kind of silly, but bitching about what they do or don't do with it is dumb. It's part of the system and anyone complaining about it sounds like a baby.

The thing that drives me up a wall with the whole "Clinton is a LIAR" thing is that you can go through any fact checking website and see Trump lies through his teeth left and right. Comparing their statements and seeing how true most of them are isn't even close. When I bring that up they say the sites have a liberal bias. When I ask them to point out where the bias is they can't show anything. These people are not even worth arguing against. They say they hate liars but they back Trump. That tells me all I need to know so I ignore them. You can't even have an argument with them about policy like you could in the past. Tell me you want to carpet bomb every Muslim country on earth. I get it. Tell me you want to go back to the gold standard. You're dumb but I get that. Tell me you want to dismantle every EPA protection. Ok sure. Tell me you hate Clinton because she lies but love Trump because he's honest...What?

I'm pretty sure this was posted earlier in the thread but I saw a quote that jumped out at me. http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-...ontent=20160920 quote:During his allotted time to question Stumpf, Sen. Patrick Toomey, R-Pa., voiced skepticism at the idea that the 5,300 Wells Fargo employees who were fired had all acted independently. Obviously this is jumping topics quite a bit, but how does this line of thinking not apply to the police? Kind of neat to see a Republican making this connection with Wells Fargo though. I don't think it's getting nearly as much play as it should.

I'm not the biggest fan of Don Lemon but the amount of patience he has with Lewandowski is saint like. http://crooksandliars.com/2016/09/watch-don-lemon-has-had-it-trumps-racism This is the 3rd or 4th clip I've seen of them going at it the last few weeks and I don't know how he holds back as much as he does. I would leap across the desk and strangle him if I had to listen to that.

Edible Hat posted:These people are your coworkers, neighbors, etc. They likely know whom you support. Your belief about how stupid they are will affect how you interact with them, even if you don't state that you think they're dumb explicitly. Their association of Clinton with your generally dismissive attitude towards them will, at the level of the lizard brain, have some effect on their decision in November. I am not asserting this would be a major or decisive effect. I am saying, as a rule, you shouldn't be a dick. I also think you might feel better if you stop thinking 15 percent of the population is dumb. I think a lot of people would feel better if we could trick ourselves into believing things that aren't true.

This will probably get zero traction and I'm not sure whether or not any of it has been posted or reported before but holy gently caress. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/donald-trump-business-campaign-trail-228500 quote:Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has paid his family's businesses more than $8.2 million, according to a POLITICO analysis of campaign finance filings, which reveals an integrated business and political operation without precedent in national politics. How is this not a thing. How.

I am still in shock from last night. As I was watching Trump just come apart I just kept saying "Oh my god" to myself over and over. I've never seen anything like that. I read Bernsteins biography of Clinton years ago and am generally a fan, but I had no idea how capable she was of handling herself until last night. It was like watching a masterclass and a snuff film at the same time.

I just got off the phone with my mom. We were discussing last nights debate and holy gently caress is she furious over how patronizing and rude Trump was to Clinton. She took today and tomorrow off of work to go work the phones at a local Democratic party office here in Virginia and she plans to do that every day she has off all day until the election. She has NEVER been involved in any campaign and she's 63 years old. I know she wasn't a fan of Trump and was indifferent towards Clinton before but this cannot be an isolated thing.

Hearing the two of them talk in longer form is more illuminating. It was shocking to see how stark the difference was when they were both on stage. I never in my wildest dreams thought he could melt down like that. Never. I can't imagine how it looked for truly undecideds that haven't paid attention to politics the last 6 months. Somehow.

So my fiance lives in a political bubble and doesn't pay attention to anything regarding the election. She sees how wound up it gets me and just avoids it I guess. I made her sit down and watch part of the debate tonight. She has never seen Trump speak at length (I have no idea how but she never watches the news or reads anything about it online.) She works in the corporate world and has to deal with sexist bullshit all day every day so at the end of it she just kept going on about how insanely threatened Trump is by Clinton. He doesn't know what to do with a strong well spoken woman that laughs at him. "What...the gently caress is he even saying??" was said aloud a few times. I never said a word. She's not exactly big into politics but she said whenever she sees that in the workplace the women just usually get fired because men like that don't know how to deal with it. When Trump started yelling over Clinton my fiance got so pissed so fast. I know I mentioned how angry my mother got about it a few pages ago, but seeing someone turn red with anger at how he talked over Clinton made me realize (again) how oblivious men can be to this sort of thing.
