First Presidential Debate

[MadGypsy]

Hillary's jokes are killing. Her jibs at Donald are with a sense of class and an awareness of the point of the event. She is also delivering them much better than he delivered his. Also, unlike Trump she has told a fair number of jokes about herself.

[MadGypsy]

Oh wow, this roast is not very good but, it's BRUTAL! Or at least the Trump part. Trump delivered his jokes terribly but, his jokes were so mean that he is being booed by the guests of the dinner. He landed a really sneaky one though.

in regards to Hillary claiming she "does not remember" to FBI director Comey

Trump began saying that he didn't want to leave without saying something good about his opponent. He went on about how she has had a long time in office and a lot of experience but ended with "She has forgotten more than we will ever know.".... 0.0. I don't think this dinner is intended to bash anyone. Trump was vicious. IMO it showed a lack of class.

AL Smith Dinner -

You guy's know about this? ooooh-ho-ho if you don't!

Tonight, The Donald and Hillary get to roast each other at the Al Smith Dinner. Fox news intends to air it live. They said at 9 so it's probably 8 central. I can't wait, this is going to be so awkward and mean.

Apparently this is a Presidential election tradition. I have never heard of this until today. You better believe I'm not gonna miss it. It's probably impossible to truly miss it cause the entire thing will probably end up on youTube when it's done.

my humble opinion: i think that the vast tangle of corporations (hildelberg group etc ...) care a shit who wins in USA (or any large country). Lobbyists always win, people always lose. Democracy in XXI century is something like the less harmful lie
I think there is too much "show" in the actual elections.

Ya dumb 'muricans!

I should've added a line break to avoid confusion. I've just edited that post accordingly.

[MadGypsy]

in our defense, the only 2 people that read that sentence thought the same thing.

It's probably because "from france" fit so well at the end of the first sentence. If you would have put it at the end of the second sentence well, we probably would have thought republicans are jumping off french ships... in single file

Cause we're dumb! LOL

@MG
That is how I first read it too but I think "From France..." is the start of a new sentence.

That's usually what a capitalized initial after a point means... Yeah, lil' froggie here! Greetings from Paris.

Why would there be a world war? If he loses all Republican support wouldn't that just make him an Independent?

Because of the political climate of the world being tenser by the hour, Trump's stubbornness and unwillingness to consider the consequences of his ideas, his views on the War On Terror™ and the Syria situation, and Putin's equally stubborn but opposite POV, just to name a few risk factors.

@Adam

Yeah I parsed that all wrong.

[Adam]

I worry that if Trump wins there could be world war. From France, I've heard that his republican supporters are jumping ship one after the other.

@MG

I'm thinking now he means that he is in France and from there it looks like there could be a world war.

I am not totally sure tho'

[MadGypsy]

War from France?... LOL, I don't think France poses any threat to USA.

[Mugwump]

I worry that when Trump loses there could be civil war.

I just finished reading about your third election debate, another interesting encounter.

I say "when" rather than "if" because I am an Australian looking at polls with no other info.

How does it feel in America?
It's hard to know, just reading news sites.

[MadGypsy]

That debate was boring as fuck. I am totally disappointed. By the last half hour it was hard to even pay attention it was so boring. I expected Chris Wallace to be more vicious (at least some). This was like watching a spelling bee.

[DeathMaster]

Bimbo eruptions! Why won't anyone bring up the bimbo eruptions?!

[DeathMaster]

My god, Chris Wallace is losing his sanity... that was a terrible segment.
