The Official Paracast Political Thread!

You mean like Miss Piggy and Miss Housekeeping?

Yeah but in Trump's eyes I think that constitutes positive reinforcement.

 

[Gene Steinberg]

There is a nice couple across the street who are hardcore Republicans. Every Presidential election they put their candidate’s sign out in their front yard. It’s been interesting to watch the movement of their sign this year as Trump continues to make an embarrassing spectacle of himself. About a month ago they had the sign out there prominent right next to the street. They then moved it back between a tree and a bush where it was difficult to see. After last week, they have taken the Trump sign totally out of their yard.

John Oliver takes a look at Clinton scandals vs Trump scandals:

Without rose colored glasses. And that's before we began wondering how smart a businessman Trump was to lose nearly a billion dollars. Oh, wait, it's just a paper loss, a "writedown," meaning on paper and not a physical loss. Regardless, if Trump had taken his inheritance from his dad and just invested it, he'd be lots richer today. When you read about the crap he pulled with his casinos in the late 1980s and early 1990s, you'd be embarrassed how incompetent he was with other people's money. He also stiffed contractors and, as a result of his bankruptcies, people lost their jobs. When you look at Trump's scandals, think of the rain of raisins in that John Oliver video. He was a little too conservative, though. Each raisin creates 1,000 more.

I think it's 22 million emails

That’s what I read as well, but I decided in choosing the lesser, because it’s an unbelievably mind-boggling number.

Who in their right mind would toilet Tweet at 3 a.m. insisting their loyal following view a non-existent sex tape?

A “turd tornado” …

And the blood coming out of Megan Kelly's "wherever"?

How in the name of misconstrued tabloid level nonsense is glib humor, a jab, or a "rip" being a racist, sexist, or against handicapped people? Gene, this is the very type of ridiculousness I am referring to.

 

[SRL+]

Is this “tabloid trash’ or “glib humor”?

Just a simple yes or no.

It is not funny. That demonstrates Trump is a sociopath. He cares not about anyone around him, except perhaps for his kids, which he uses as signs of pride and ego fulfillment.

Just like this: Hillary Clinton Caught Calling Jewish People... - World Politicus It's called hearsay. In other words, it's very difficult, if not impossible, to know whether it was the actual truth of what he said, or not. But here's the thing, you know what? I'd MUCH rather have someone that openly speaks their mind for President than someone who's a total fake hypocrite like Hillaryous the OJ of the White House. The whole idea that no one here that's a Hillary supporter, or the thoroughly dangerous and irresponsibly negligent person that Clinton has already proven herself to be, as having never called people names, and made thoroughly derisive and demeaning commentary about people you don't like, is utter BS. Doing as much behind the other person's back IMO just makes you worse. Much worse.

Stop with the self righteous charade.

Lets look at some facts well apart from hearsay, shall we? Benghazi: What the report reveals about Hillary Clinton

 

[Gene Steinberg]

The fact-checkers confirm that Trump tells many more lies than Clinton. So that's not a factor. Openly speaking one's mind with lies and contradictions (sometimes in the same paragraph) is hardly a measure of one's suitability for any political post.

 

[Jeff Davis]

So, let me get this straight. According to you, when someone calls someone a derogatory name, which has NEVER been verified, something that "supposedly" happened 30 years ago, that qualifies them as a sociopath. Ok. I guess we are living on planet Psycho.

ROTFLOL!! I'm telling you, you just can't make this stuff up! What fact checkers precisely? Oh, you mean the ones that support Hillaryous. It gets better everyday!

If not mistaken, what you are implying here is the woman is lying, this never occurred, she’s the one who’s the psychopath?

I’m not big on Hillary, Bernie, the Johnson, or Stein. I will say that I find the possibility of Trump Tweeting the launch codes from his bathroom in the wee-wee hours of the morning quite disturbing.

You’ve probably heard of suicide by cop, right? Here’s a new one..., suicide by Trump.

Somewhat informed, yes, self-righteous, no.

By the way, you never really answered my question, so let me re-frame it.

If you were to discover that the woman who has alleged to have been called the "C-word" was telling the unvarnished truth, would you find Trump's comment offensive?

When Trump referred to Megan Kelly as bleeding from her "wherever," are you saying he never said that? If you think so, you are beyond help. I heard it, tens of millions heard it.

Trump never denied what he said about the 1996 Miss Universe contestant. Instead, he justified it.

As to fact-checkers, Politifact is non-partisan, a Pulitzer prize winner. They support nobody. You can argue the shades of some of their conclusions, but not the honest intent in making them.

OK, up until now I have just been lightly playing along because I support, and will be voting for Trump in November. This is definitely not because I like or condone the precise individual that he is, personality and otherwise. I have stated why I am voting for him and there is simply no denying these facts. S.R.L., this country that is the USA has become utterly pathetic by comparison to what it once was. There was a time when this nation had an identity and no this was not an idea based on skin color or religious convictions and persuasion. There was a time, actually a very short time ago, when the citizenry of the USA were not enslaved in terms of being taxed to death, and the USA had practically no national debt whatsoever. It was time when it was TRULY GREAT to be an American. There was a very real sense of loyalty and dedication here. Now, all we once had has been lost due to a single and absolute (proved beyond question) cause. That cause can clearly and evidently be summed up in one word, politician. This S.R.L. is the ONLY thing I am offended by Trump has no history with these ultra secret political elitists and their globally motivated and participated within, oligarchic organized quasi political regime. None.

Would you honestly vote for a presidential candidate whose ONLY reason for not rotting in jail right now is because she is exempt from the law due to just such an evil and blatantly false sense of elitist defined and granted empowerment? One that would in fact serve to perpetuate the politically induced death march that our once great country has been marching downward within for almost as long as I've been alive? Or would you vote to uproot the tyranny and oppression that enslaves so many of us, all for the gain of so elite and untouchable a few?

As far as me personally being offended goes: He didn't exactly call Mother Theresa the c-word, if he called anyone anything at all. Remember, this could easily be 100% politically motivated strategic BS. This was a reporter that has no current credentials as a reporter, but at the time should have had MUCH more professional tact than to stick her nose where it didn't belong in an intentional effort to prick Trump's pride in a business deal gone sour for him, as well as a reporter that after doing so should have had much more professionally obligatory thick skin than her SELF RIGHTEOUS pretense opportunistically feigns. In the context of that which honestly matters not some 30 years later with respect to the CURRENT presidential election, and considering the tabloid leveled quality of (hearsay) that the accusation that Trump called someone the c-word in a fit of outrage over making public information he perceived as being very negative and uncalled for, yes it was very offensive. He meant it to be. That is, if, it ever happened at all.

I am far more offended by the manner in which the USA's public justice system can be so easily manipulated, and the fact that Hillaryous is not comfy in a jail cell somewhere. This kind of OJ Simpson justice is the real essence of the aforementioned evil in action.

 

[kanakaris]

This is bullshit. Trump is neither a racist, nor is he anti handicapped, nor is he anti women. Please provide me a serious quote, not glib humor, within context, not just 5 consecutive words completely removed from their context like princess hillaryous's ad campaign is famous for, where Trump forwards his philosophical belief that one race is superior to, or "over" another, or that men are clearly superior to women, or that handicapped people are a waste of money, or whatever. You can't. Why would you allow yourself to be programmed with such utter nonsense?

Look at his behaviour.

Listening to segments of the VP debate last night, I was thinking of just how miserable the candidates sounded. What a lackluster performance. In my opinion, if both their necks were fitted with shock collars, it might have been an electrifying evening after all. In fairness, each time a candidate lied, interrupted, or, exceeded their time limit, they would receive an increased jolt of electricity until subdued, or, were truthful. Additionally, the amount of voltage endured would determine their general state of physical well-being. On the downside, there is always running the risk of losing a candidate before the general election, but who really cares; politicians are often viewed through the same lenses as ambulance-chasing attorneys anyway.

 

[Gene Steinberg]

Remember Pence is a former talk show host, so he was smoother than Kaine. But Kaine kept repeating actual statements from Trump, and Pence kept shaking his head and denying it. The view is that Pence is running for 2020, realizing this year is a lost cause and he doesn't want to be tethered to Trump's craziness. He'd rather have his own craziness to defend.

 

[SRL+]

Immediately following the debate Clinton’s campaign released a compelling ad using Pence as Hillary’s piñata. Whereas the news cycle is 24 hours, and viewership was half of the presidential debate, I have a feeling this newly released ad will continue in running up until Election Day.

What you fail to recognize here is that you’re preaching to the choir. Quintessentially, I agree with your underlying observations, and impressions. The problem is; your savior is screwed up in the head, and that head is broken well beyond any meaningful repair.

You are aware the man is unbalanced, so go for it.

The one good thing about America is; you may vote for anyone you please, even the time traveling Andrew D Basiago.
