yeah I really enjoyed it, the election night chapters are really compelling. I remember hearing on election day that Hillary and Trump would be watching the results come in literally across the street from each other in Manhattan. Bill lounging on the couch, muttering "I knew it. It's Brexit" and shaking his head. It's still so mind-blowing...

Does anyone ever use the construction 'the most _____ in the history of ______' in a way that isn't demonstrably false and doesn't make them look like a total dipshit?

it's a remarkably short list when you consider how many leaders the US has murdered

i dunno, there's plenty of assassinations there. i mean having 4 presidents killed is kind of a lot, britain has only had one assassinated prime minister
― -_- (jim in vancouver), Friday, 14 July 2017 17:15 (six years ago) link
Yes, but the British has never murdered any foreign leaders or foreigners in general, right?
I'll never really understand why Swedish politics are so violent, btw. But that's another thread.

Is this serious? I would have thought that the humanitarian record of the British Empire was fairly well-documented.

I fucking can't stand her. I let it go months ago but they're pushing her on us again.

the claim she makes in her book -- that trump was "stalking" her during debate 2, following her around making faces and breathing down her back -- is so demonstrably not true. (during the period in question, trump is standing stock still, right by his station.) trump did so many bizarre things during that debate. why do you need to make something up that he *didn't* do, so that everyone can yell fake news?
― Thus Sang Freud, Wednesday, 6 September 2017 16:48 (six years ago) link
He was definitely stalking her during the debate, wtf? It was a whole thing, SNL parodied it with the Jaws soundtrack. Are you gaslighting us right now?
― Frederik B, Wednesday, 6 September 2017 16:53 (six years ago) link
well if SNL said it then it must be true
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Wednesday, 6 September 2017 16:58 (six years ago) link
i think in this era of meme overload we sometimes have trouble remembering what actually happened from what the meme was
he was being weird but "stalking" and "breathing down my neck" are not really accurate

Any woman who experiences that kind of behaviour can call it everything she likes in my book. And trying to police what she calls it is nagl. And saying he was 'right by his station' is so far from being a good look it's just bullshit.
― Frederik B, Wednesday, 6 September 2017 17:03 (six years ago) link
yeah of all the stuff that's come out in the excerpts that's maybe the least objectionable!
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 6 September 2017 17:06 (six years ago) link
yeah he wasn't literally "breathing down her neck" but he was def stalking in her in this absurd Bond villain pose. Might be a slight exaggeration on Clinton's part but Fred B is right, it was menacing behavior.
