I thought this was one of the better roasts of Donald

Former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm

“Imagine Donald Trump’s version of the Constitution: ‘I the person, in order to form a more perfect union,’” she began. “Or centuries later: I shall overcome,” she crooned. “Or ‘ask not,’” she said, before adjusting the tone of her voice to sound deeper. “’Ask not what I can do for my country. Ask what my country can do for me.’”

Apparently the man you can bait with a tweet is on the rampage this morning on Twitter raving like a child on meth. Sadly I can't see it on work terminals.

I was thinking this morning how Donald is nothing more than an internet troll gone public. The who "only sleeps 4 hours per night" probably only does so because he is up all night spewing invective across the internet and defending his character through the dozens of personalities he has created across various internet forums.

It has only ever taken the smallest thing to set this guy off, and he will never live a single insult down. Imagine the first time Putin calls him a weak little puppy dog.
It makes me think that his staunchest supporters are the same type of trolls that just live for this shit--Trump's existence in public merely reinforces the delusion in all of their brains that they really, truly, must be right about everything!

This explains LK and Sp33dy to me, anyway.

The DNC definitely had some good speeches. Who was your favorite? It's hard to beat Michelle, but this speech really stuck with me:



Powerful.

What got me on that one is he wasn't looking around left and right at teleprompters. He was using it to speak directly to Trump. his eyes never left the cameras.

I would say the opposite. Its seems there is a small cadre of posters who feel compelled to answer every criticism of the DNC with a conspiracy theory or dissertation, not to mention the DNC nomination had more contention to it due to the Sanders and indictment narrative.

Trump is polarizing and the RNC was a circus. Not much room for debate.
Yet, if you look at who has posted how many times in this thread, the number 1 poster is Right Wing. Most of the most prolific posters in this thread lean Republican (though one claims he's registered as independent, I cannot recall one pro-Democrat thing he's said or one anti-Republican thing he's said.)

I didn't even realize I replied to this thread 19 times.

Eh, now that I've counted, the number of posts by party seem almost even toward the top - and he's right - there were a lot of posts made by Democrats to defend the policies of that side - but why were there so many more attacks in this thread by Republicans than attacks in the other thread by Democrats?

Can you post the numbers for the RNC thread? Just curious and technically challenged. Thanks!

Or we should realize that we shouldn't unlock our doors while everybody keeps theirs locked and proceeds to rob us also, while we let them do it freely.

How much protectionism, state support for SOEs (and non-SOEs), preferred financing access, non-access, or tariff based protectionism goes on in the countries that you target for "free trade" that isn't offered reciprocal protectionism back?

The rest of the world doesn't give a fuck about your Good Guy (tm) "free market" bullshit - in fact, they laugh at it. They know you're just a sellout and they love you for it. Americans, you can pay a few to sell out the many for the price of a nice car.

This is why Libertopians are fucking morons. It assumes that the rest of the world plays by the same rules and eliminates human fallibility or motivation. It looks at "free trade" in a vacuum.

I am more than willing to sign up for 100% of all "free trade" agreements provided they allow reciprocal tariff agreements up to the amount of ill-begotten gains from such things as SOEs, currency manipulation...etc.

Surely you have no problem protecting our workers from the worst of state-sponsored abuses????

Yeah, nothing is right, which is why obama finally moved to stop SOE dumping of Chinese steel.

Dude you're a fucking moron. Everything I said was correct and you just stick to your globalist talking points.

If you love being a traitor to the us so much, go move somewhere else.

It seems the case that you've simply never been elsewhere in the world. For example in this china a good majority of brands on store shelves are foreign and a plurality of those are american.


What's worse is that the politicians feed into it. They tell their own people to put off having kids, live life, fuck dozens of guys/girls, then, when your peak fertility years are gone and your career is all you have, import a bunch of immigrants to fill the void. Look at Europe now. The motives have been laid bare by juncker, no more European inbreeding.

Nothing more than a repeat of the visigothic sacking of Rome. All the while these Neros watch it burn and play the fiddle.

No, it's simple reality that people who live cushy first world lifestyles find raising kids a relative burden in comparison. It's also a reality that greater education implies better decision making such as family planning instead of popping out spawn whenever. It's rather you who want the government to force them to have kids against their will or whatever this is.

First of all, grats once again. You are one of the most reliably balanced posters here.

Secondly, YEAH, the debates will surely be Must See TV! I have absolutely no idea how it will shake out, either. I do think Trump will go on an all-out attack. And I'm not sure how Hillary, who will likely try to remain "above the fray", will come across. Evasive or serene? I'd like to see her try strategically counter-punching in order to blow the wig right off the Donald, but w/o getting sucked into a kindergarten level shite-show.

One predicitlon: The debates will set viewership records.

Her best strategy might be to keep baiting the donald types and let their own words influence swing voters. All she needs is one line out of 2 hours proclaiming how she's not fit for office due to insufficient sexual attractiveness or somesuch.

It could have to do with the DNC having greater TV ratings than the RNC.

all that 'service' sure has paid her well. Its more like she's been a government leach for most of her life. Nothing but a fancy welfare queen.
Dude, you are a moron.
Well, the balloons are all over.
Right wing balloons, lefty balloons, there all gone and done with.
I wonder how many poor kids all those balloons could have fed? Or clothed?
Balloons, balloons, balloons.
Popped, deflated, swept away by illegal alien janitors.
Damn them illegals. Damn those balloons.
If we didn't have conventions we wouldn't need balloons and thus no illegals to take away balloon sweeping from the poor unemployed Americans balloon sweepers across the nation.
My dad was a balloon sweeper for 50 years.
And my mom did this act using balloons, but we won't go into that now...

So whats next?
THE DEBATES !!!!!
Or, debate?
Or, bate and switch?
Oh boy... Can't wait!
I'd say pistols at 50 paces should do it.
Or better yet, mud wrestling in a pit of crocodiles.
Dude, you are weird.
I managed to not see any of the convention. I win.
You can't win if you don't play.

Believe me, you are better off.
Is it weird that the DNC thread had twice as many posts as the RNC thread? Why do people come in here and post negative things about the Democrats like it's their job?
They want attention.
