It's funny because I was in line at a Wal-Mart checkout last night and one of the tabloid covers that caught my eye as I was scanning about the place trying to numb the existential boredom that comes from waiting in line in a drat Wal-Mart had a headline in bright yellow block letters that screamed "I SOLD MATT LAUER COCAINE!" At first I just rolled my eyes at it thinking it was just opportunistic bullshit thrown out there because Lauer would be in the headlines again because of tonight's forum, but now...

Ivanka Trump doesn't exactly handle herself very well in this Cosmopolitan interview about the Trump campaign's family leave proposal. Basically once the interviewer starts asking her what happens with paternity leave/gay male couples and paid leave, she falls apart

http://www.cosmopolitan.com/politics/a3356886/ivanka-trump-child-care-maternity-leave-policy/

Literally got up and ran from the interview after 5 and a half questions. I had said after her RNC speech, "you know, her dad's a massive shithead, but I bet she could make a decent senator or congresswoman if she got out from under his thumb and actually ran as a Democrat."

I take that back. gently caress the entire Trump family, top to bottom. I hope Trump losing in November preemptively kills Ivanka, Don Jr., Eric, and Miscellaneous Trump's future political careers (because you know Donald would try to helicopter parent them into elected office as a gently caress you to the electorate that rejected him) before they begin.

You're confusing Fillion with firefly Adam Baldwin (No Relation) who is full-bore crazy and on the trump train. Fillion was pretty much the ideal of "quietly liberal" and made a couple snarky tweets against obama.

Yeah, the main Firefly cast is all still pretty tight with each other... except for Adam Baldwin. It used to be you'd see Fillion, Baldwin, and Alan Tudyk all doing stuff together like voices characters in Halo games or internet and convention stuff. Then Baldwin just fell right down the alt-right Breitbart hole and revealed what a truly repugnant human being he is and they just pretty much severed with him.

I've said this in the Right Wing Media thread, but it's kind of depressing to go back and rewatch episodes of Firefly when you have to quiet the thoughts in the back of your head trying to remind you that everyone on board Serenity hates Jayne in real life too :smith:

Step 2) Talk about being inseparable from him ideologicaly
Step 3) Shut down the government
Step 4) Brag to the media that it was Trump's idea and Trump supports it 100%
Step 5) Watch Trump's poll numbers crater
Step 6) Return to the oily pond that killed Tasha Yar on TNG from whence he came in triumph

Also it was asked pages ago about how foreigners are looking at this election and speaking as one lonely Canadian I am watching this election with fascination and dread. We just elected a fairly progressive Prime Minister and to see our brothers to the south consider swinging the other way (and openly embrace fascism) is really disconcerting.

This is my opinion too. I've always been more interested in US politics because "lol canadian politics is boring :v:" thanks to our relatively sane and stable leaders. Even Stephen Harper, who was a huge small-c conservative rear end in a top hat, was still a "sane" leader compared to Any Given Post-Reagan Republican. It's been a rare treat to see the US and Canadian leaders actually genuinely like, respect, and agree with one another after a decade and a half of being politically out of synch since Bill Clinton and Jean Chrétien left office.

The thought of Justin Trudeau having to go from working with someone like Barack Obama to something like Donald Trump makes my stomach turn :canada:

So Gary Johnson couldn't name a world leader he looked up to. His running mate threw out a dead guy(Perez), and a retired guy(Fox), before finally ending the episode by saying Merkel and satisfying the shouty head of Chris Mathews.

Donald then answers the same question with Merkel, who he then goes on a short Trump tirade about how she's actually bad.

Hillary laughs when given the question and also answers Merkel.

Surprisingly Jill Stein bucked the trend when asked/trying to be noticed and did not say Merkel. Unfortunately she also failed to list any world leaders.

Harambe of course looked up to Simba.



Unrelatedly, how the gently caress do so many of you not know what a corn cob is, other than something you turn into when owned sufficiently? It's what's left after you shuck the corn and the corn kernels are removed. Really old guys and Popeye use them to make pipes.

While I'm heartened that Stein named Elizabeth May as one of her idols, like Politico says, May is only an MP in Canada, not an actual world leader. Also May probably laughs her rear end off every time she hears Jill Stein say anything in public because Elizabeth May is a sane person who our PM actually works with on climate matters.

Another great glimpse into the mind of a diehard Trumper was AJ Delgado on Thomas Roberts on MSNBC about an hour ago, scrambling to jump on every last political hand grenade Trump pulled the pin on and dumped at his own feet.

She literally resorted to saying Trump was doing great among Latinos and women because she was a Latino woman and she supports Trump.

I don't know if it's been posted in this thread or not, but this was really amazing: over 70 major actors, writers, and producers who've worked on the Star Trek franchise came out today and signed off on a public service letter utterly dunking on Trump.

That includes every* living main cast member of the five TV shows and the reboot movies, the children of deceased actors/producers (like Leonard Nimoy and Gene and Majel Roddenberry's kids), big-name Trek producers like JJ Abrams, Bryan Fuller, and Rick Berman, and prominent Trek guest stars. The only notable absences are William Shatner (Canadian citizen), Patrick Stewart (British citizen), and Jolene Blalock (who has distanced herself from Trek because of how lovely the producers on Enterprise treated her), Garret Wong (similar story) and Jeri Ryan (who was married to ex-Republican senator Jack Ryan--aka the guy whose seat Obama won after his divorcing Jeri torpedoed his political career).

Still, that's a loving amazing list of people.

*E: on closer inspection, Nichelle Nichols, Robert Beltran, Roxann Dawson, and Avery Brooks aren't on the list. So not EVERY living main cast member, but the vast majority of them, at least.

I'm also surprised Jeri Ryan's not on the list too. Though seeing as how her marriage imploding was a major step on the road to giving us President Obama, I can see why she'd be gunshy about entering to political arena in any capacity again.

The one I'm not surprised to not see on there is Manny Coto. For as much as the Trek fandom admires him as "The Man Who (Almost) Saved Enterprise", dude is a hardcore Republican.
