The way Donald Trump groups people into categories is very creepy. He kept saying, "the vets," over and over again tonight.

SpaceDrake posted:I have to wonder what the takeaway from this is. Did the American public, including and perhaps especially Republicans, really not give all that much of a poo poo about the Cold War when it comes down to it? They gave a poo poo about communism and socialism. The soviet union fell in 1991 and Putin is president rather than General Secretary of the Communist Party. He's also corrupt as gently caress and likes to wave his dick around. These are things that have traditionally been popular with the American right wing dating back like a century. It all makes perfect sense to me.

SpaceDrake posted:Broadcast resolution was about that, depending, yeah. It was the rough equivalent of 640x480, but not formatted neatly like a computer monitor or modern televisions are, and the signal could get further degraded depending on what connector you were using (and given that most televisions were RF until the 80s, whoof) as well as what equipment you were using to capture the screens and video with (and consumer VHS was rather low-quality). 640x480 is very generous. It's closer to 480x360 once you take into account interlacing. It actually doesn't look half bad in motion, but framegrabs will always look like poo poo due to the need to average 2 "frames" worth of fields. On a decent CRT from a Betamax or SVHS source that video probably looks pretty alright, but we don't use those anymore. So yeah, the reason old non-HD video looks like poo poo is because interlaced video (except for 1080i) doesn't really exist anymore, and so all the old news footage and stuff has had to be deinterlaced in the process of putting it up on YouTube. Deinterlacing is a finicky art and results can look great or like total rear end depending on the type of content and the algorithm used. It didn't really look that lovely at the time, and people don't know dick about video so they're not really taking the care to do the capturing properly when putting poo poo up on YouTube.

Radish posted:What is it about that guy that so many dupes that shouldt know better think they will be the ones that help him and don't get screwed and for what gain? They're trying to chase balance in a year where there is none. Trump is a poo poo tier candidate that doesn't deserve to be on the same stage let alone in the same race for an office as Hillary Clinton. The media feel it would be "biased," if they admitted it, though. So they're slanting their coverage so far toward Trump in a way to make him seem like a reasonable candidate that they end up falling off the cliff. "Nobody expects you to have really done a deep dive on some of these complicated policy issues..." is such a patently absurd statement. We've gone from "What newspapers do you read?" to, "Oh we're not going to expect you to have read anything..." in the span of 8 years. I think it's so insane that even the public can sense it a little bit. ErIog fucked around with this message at 09:46 on Sep 8, 2016 |

NathanScottPhillips posted:Such short memories. One of the common themes around here in 2008 was McCain's health and how it could affect his presidency. Now that topic is off limits and only for nutjobs? John McCain, in 2008, was 4 years older than Hillary is now and chose someone not adequately qualified to be president as his vice president. The issue was never, "McCain is old and sick so therefore he shouldn't be president," it was, "holy poo poo, Sarah Palin is going to be in charge if the 72 year old former PoW dies in office." It would not have been an issue if John McCain hadn't put the idea into everybody's head by picking who he picked for VP.

Geostomp posted:Hey, just because his supporters regularly call for the removal of all non-whites, wear Nazi iconography, love Trump's Nazi-style presentation, and have have attempted to call for genocide doesn't mean that they could possibly be Nazis. I mean, that's a bad thing and we can't ever hurt white people's feelings by daring to suggest they do something wrong. It's not just his supporters, though, which is the key thing to point out to anyone you hear bringing this up in real life. Donald Trump Jr. did an interview with a white supremacist radio broadcaster that was invited to a Trump campaign event to sit in radio row with all the other media outlets. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-trump-extremists-idUSMTZSAPEC33G5QT8C So not only were white supremacists openly invited to an event, but it's not like they flew under the radar. Someone involved at the highest levels of the campaign went and gave them an interview, and then also retweets a bunch of other neo-nazi poo poo too. Some of which Trump himself re-tweets. Oh also, Steve Bannon, the dude that runs Breitbart is also running Trump's campaign and Trump is meeting on a WEEKLY basis with Roger Ailes, the recently-fired-for-decades-of-sexual-abuse-of-employees former head of Fox News Channel. Trump himself was also accused of rape by someone under oath in court. http://fusion.net/story/328522/donald-trump-accused-rape-sexual-assault/ You could also write a book on his relationship with Roger Stone whose Twitter is full of crazy reprehensible racist/neo-nazi/misogynist poo poo. Then there's also his relationship to Alex Jones which leads smack dab into anti-semitism. Remember, Obama having a fundraiser at Bill Ayers' house meant he palled around with terrorists. By 2008 standards then what does that make Trump? So you don't have to play the "well some of his supporters game.." Trump himself and his campaign embody everything Clinton listed in her Basket of Deplorables. ErIog fucked around with this message at 05:08 on Sep 13, 2016 |

I feel like this election might be different, though. I feel like Hillary, as a white woman, is uniquely positioned to be able to call Trump racist and get it to stick. Obama could never do stuff like that because white people think black people shout "racism," all the time. It also allows her to sidestep some of Trump's rampant sexism. If Hillary tries to claim anything is sexist then people are just going to accuse her of whining. Nobody's going to accuse her of whining by talking about how racist and anti-semitic Trump, Trump's campaign, and its supporters are.

There's also no FEC rules against this kind of self-dealing, and on the contrary the FEC actually requires campaigns to pay market rate for lots of stuff in order to prevent campaigns from accepting in-kind gifts in lieu of cash donations.

It will become less exhausting when the debates actually start and there's news cycles filled with real information rather than horse-race-fluff-speculation. In days of yore this period post convention and after August is when campaigns would be just getting into full swing. This election has been going full tilt since before the conventions, though. So yeah, it's exhausting right now, but that's because we're going through a particularly tedious period.

Ivanka Trump posted:...immediate aftermath of childbirth. If a Democrat spoke about childbirth like this they'd be crucified. Ivanka Trump posted:So I think that you have a lot of negativity in these questions, and I think my father has put forth a very comprehensive and really revolutionary plan to deal with a lot of issues. This is why you need to be very careful about family acting as surrogates. This same thing bit Ann Romney when she was talking about Mitt. They start to feel backed into a corner about why anybody would say anything negative about their family member. Then they can't muster any defense to any criticism because they operate in the, "c'mon they're family," realm rather than the realm of actual political campaigning. There's a big disconnect between the way Ivanka perceives her father and the rest of the world perceives Donald Trump. Referencing, even slightly, Donald Trump the media persona here is enough to make her exasperated because it's so different from the way she thinks of him personally.  says one of the Trump spawn tweets or retweets something ridiculously misogynistic after Hillary trounces Trump in at least one or all of the debates.

Nichael posted:What I find interesting/appalling is how young the supporters of the alt-right seemingly are. These are people around my age, or younger, who also grew up under W. Bush, and saw firsthand what his ideology could do. To react by essentially saying "I want more of that, only much worse and more racist," is shocking. The alt right is filled with young white men who think they're actually persecuted. The thing is, though, that demographic is a dead end. Thanks to interracial marriage and a number of other factors, the number of "white," babies being born is very small and has been shrinking over time. So yeah, the alt right is young, but they're a tiny minority of the actual population, and fewer and fewer people like them are born every year. The reason they have such a voice, though, is because they're the only youth demographic that will consistently pull the lever for the GOP. So the GOP likes to show them off at CPAC along with college Republicans in order to pretend like they don't have huge problems with younger voters. They're essentially willing tokens for the Republican party because it gives their viewpoints legitimacy. If the GOP had some other kind of more reasonable population of younger voters then the alt right wouldn't get nearly so much attention. They'd be treated more like the youth far left.

I know this is from a few pages back, but...Sword of Chomsky posted:It is nearly impossible to do a good defense. It requires an informed audience, and we all know how that works out. Trump probably doesn't have the concentration to pull off a proper Gish Gallop. Gish Galloping on the internet is easy, but Gish Galloping live is very difficult. It requires paying attention to the flow of the debate and be purposely slippery. Trump can't do that. He's very susceptible to being baited. Look at what happened with the Putin thing during the Commander in Chief forum, and that was with Matt Lauer who went pretty soft on him. Trump also hasn't had a press conference since July so he's not had to properly reckon with questions about.. "So you're a loving liar about your support for the Iraq war.." and "So you're a loving liar about this birther poo poo.." also.. "Umm.. your own foundation hasn't had any of your own money in it since 2007 and you used it for personal expenses and in one instance to bribe an attorney general..." Trump has an "I'm gonna defend myself!" attitude, but he's actually real lovely at coming to his own defense since he usually just lies. So if Hillary can bait him(she can), then she can lead him around like an idiot into rhetorical landmines like saying nice things about Vladimir Putin, Joe Paterno, or Roger Ailes.
