The nation may survive, but the wound to hope and order will never fully heal - US elections 2016: the october surprises

Clinton won CNN poll 52 - 39. shoulda been a wider margin but ouch lol

YouGov, 49-39 Clinton

when trump loses the election i wonder if he's going to concede, or if he'll see how much more damage he can do by declaring it was illegitimate so horrible and so unfair

― arts and crafts THIS GUY (daria-g), Friday, June 3, 2016 10:31 PM

at least what he said tonight gives everyone esp the media plenty of time to prepare for this so that when it happens we all mostly shrug and go, well, we knew this loser was going to act like a loser

also lol if he holds out on conceding until the very last votes on the west coast come in & that helps dem turnout on the margins enough that people like darrell issa lose reelection

could someone maybe build a fake White House and let him think he's President

Discussed upthread I think.

Or on twitter. There was an extensive discussion of that idea somewhere.

calling people 'nasty' reminds me that trump's insult vocab hasn't been updated any more recently than the cut of his suits

It still boggles the mind how awful Donald is at this but IMO the dumbest thing he did was interject "It should have" when Clinton mentioned the Emmy thing, it pretty much singlehandedly backed up everything she's been saying this whole time

Wow, y'all should see the vid of this:

Alex Jones debate meltdown part 3: "Lying whore," "witch" ... and then he starts singing

7:54 PM - 19 Oct 2016

was he singing Dangerous Jade from Evita?

I loled at the emmy comment tbh

trump with this election is like me with deflategate

FREE BRADY

it's funny that he never figured out that like, in addition to the benefit of allowing you to speak freely on a subject without getting tongue tied or rambling, debate prep also prevents you from getting agitated to where you instinctively say CANDIDACY-LOSING SHIT multiple times during a debate.

he's got too much of an ego problem to ever let anyone stop him from saying whatever he feels like at any given moment inc candidacy-destroying things.

There were so many times Hillary straight trolled him tonight and he just couldn't help going for the bait. It got to be like watching someone who doesn't even like dogs throwing the same stick again and again, rolling her eyes at the audience like, can you believe he's still chasing this stick?

it's like when someone leaves a bowl full of Doritos on the table in front of you and you aren't hungry but you keep eating them and she keeps refilling them and you keep eating them and she keeps refilling them and you keep eating them and she keeps refilling them and

Is that why his face is so orange?

JFC @ those Alex Jones clips. I'd cut a mile-wide berth around anyone who thought his ravings were anything other than an expression of profound mental illness.

Is Dicks Out for Bad Hombre a meme/tshirt yet?

someone kidnap Tarantino for 3-4 years so he doesn't turn Bad Hombre into some shitty grindhouse flick idea

dammit I meant to cut the FB referral, sorry

TrumpTV is really gonna be like Ace Rothstein's tv show in Casino innit

I don't know how anyone can watch any Alex jones clip and not feel profoundly sad, not just because of the afore mentioned mental illness - but also that enough people agreed someone with such an obvious sickness should have his own show and that there seem to be enough viewers to keep it going.

Just caught up on it all. This guy really is a clown.

he's gonna get caught

just you wait and see

tbh alex jones clips just remind me of classic 80s wrestling promos. i assume his audience is somewhat in on this aspect of his act

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LY-r3hhva3k

there was some British network anchor, after the infamous "we have a moron on the air tonight" incident, that said as soon as the cameras were off, Jones stopped ranting and raving.

I can't believe he isn't winking at least a little, if not a lot.

i rarely watch alex jones clips, but those twitter'd links above were disturbing. does he get like that often?

my dad watches him. my mom now believes in nibiru (planet X). if he's suffering from mental illness i'll cut him some slack i guess, but honestly i want to punch him so badly, and rush limbaugh, for ruining my parents.

I dunno; two* of the greatest rasslin' talkers came out of Texas and both could smoke Alex Jones on their off days

(*Dusty Rhodes, Steve Austin, not even bringing in Terry Funk, HBK, Golddust, etc etc etc)

pearl clutching about alex jones's "mental illness"? oh, please! dude is an entertainer

Trump is now on Twitter bragging that the Moonies online poll proclaimed him the winner of tonight's debate, 77% to 17%.

the lols, oh the lols

xxp:

Just as there's always going to be an talk-radio host to outflank established ones to the Right, there will always be a drama queen to outflank Glenn Beck for the tinfoil hat audience. I'm sure somewhere in the swamp of the internet there's somebody throwing tantrums, maybe actual diapers, to win some of the Alex Jones audience.

we pretty much have a Bill Cooper running for President

Many people have a tendency to respond positively to male anger because of unresolved daddy issues. A willingness to capitalize on that tendency does not, imo, make one an 'entertainer' or a 'legitimate presidential candidate'.

I think you're giving Alex Jones a little too much credit

are those actual films? sound like ministry bootlegs

a new world order

one of them's a Christmas song i think

said the night wind to the little lamb
Are you practicing communism?

i don't even know what to say about your first sentence here, but as for the second: what the hell is alex jones if he isn't entertainment?

talk radio: not entertainment

https://scontent-ort2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/t31.0-8/14714939_10154519849591878_898351163322987148_o.jpg

I'd call it paranoid fear mongering but people are entertained by different things, I guess.

Re: my first sentence, I don't think it's that controversial to suggest that a frustrated desire to please raging paternal figures can later manifest as blind obeisance to public figures who pattern that same raging paternal behavior.
