For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

I'm gonna watch this debate and my prediction is it won't exceed my expectations of being wacky and unpredictable

Cause nothing can surprise me at this point

I'm still pretty confident that Clinton pulls out a 300+ EV win, I'm not Arzying on every new poll honestly. I'm of the mind that the GOTV in swing states and Obama helping on the campaign will push her numbers back into safe for everyone territory.

As for tonight, I'm hoping something unpredictable happens, but the level of hype surrounding tonight makes it just as likely that nothing of consequence happens

I do a drinking game every debate that normally turns into around 40-80 people shitposting about both candidates with specific underscoring of no butt hurt.

I don't think anyone would be overly interested in a link to the thread on my wall but, lacking that, here are the rules. They're sort of basic-bitch rules but everything else I run into is either irrelevant due to "lol Hillary turns into an evil demon monster and our God Emperor turns into a Centipede and eats her" or just taking a shot when Donald says something.

Weirdly enough I ended up getting around 20 people who had never watched a debate into watching them all but, as a related note, I know a lot of functional alcoholics.

/GLOBAL SHOTS/
- RED HOT BRANDING: Either candidate references their own campaign slogan (Make America Great; Stand Together)

- YOU JUST MADE THAT NAME UP: References someone they met campaigning, their struggle, and how they'll change that. Warning: this will almost 100% be a double shot due to YOU CAN'T WRITE A CHECK TO A BALANCE.

The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.
(Revelation 8:10-11)

/LOOSE THREADS/
- METADATA: Thread Moderator comments "Shots Fired" or "Shits Sharted"
- PRESENTED WITHOUT COMMENTARY: Thread Moderator comments a picture and only a picture.
- STARE INTO THE ABYSS: You realize that one of the two people on stage are going to be president. Take shot or sip as needed.

The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night.
(Revelation 8:12)
-

/HILLARY'S TUMBLR/
- MARK ALL AS READ: Justification or discussion of deleted emails. Send a text message to an ex. Delete conversation after sending. Take a shot.
- THE VAPORS: Sneezes or coughs. Say, "Bless you." Take shot.
- LIPSTICK ON A PIG: Retorts that America is already great. Scoff like you're Ann Coulter. Take shot. Flip hair.
- HEEL TURN: Pivots question. That is, a question is asked and the response does not answer the question. Reach for shot of liquor but grab and take a swig of beer instead.

- IT WAS A GOOD DAY: References gun control. Make gun with fingers. Take shot.
- WOLFMOTHER: References "first woman" precedent. Sing "SHE'S GONNA SET YOU FREEEEEE." Take shot
- TEAR DOWN THIS WALL: Talks about breaking down barriers. Break down the barrier of your sobriety by taking a shot.

- POINT TO IT ON A MAP: Mentions Benghazi. Pour a little beer out for VileRat (RIP). Take shot.
- ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM: Says "some people have said" or uses "some people" as a source that can be cited. Make a Wikipedia entry for yourself after the debate raging drunk. Take a shot until then.

The first woe is past; two other woes are yet to come.

One Day I Will Return To Your Side.
Hot take: the debate will be so managed, the questions so carefully selected, Hillary Clinton will still have the charisma of a brown bricked wall who won't go on the attack in any real sense, that this debate will be super nothing and boring all the way through.

I mean holy poo poo now that I think of it Hillary is so devoid of personality and charisma she's like literally the worst person I could think of to debate a poo poo turd like trump.

The only way it would pick up if trump went completely insane, but I doubt he will reiterate the stuff he said previously.
