[QUOTE=Jarokwa;51182346]why doesnt trump just give up at this point tho[/QUOTE]
well, from what I can see trump supporters claim trump won and Clinton supporters claim Clinton won, so It's not like anyone was crushed really.
although his odds do look grim
Stop encouraging voting for these distracting teams like DEMOCRATS and REPUBLICANS. In every electiin since I turned 18 I've written-in "BLOW UP THE SUN!!!" and this November will be no exception, I'm voting to blow up the sun. Trump/Pence it is! Down with Hillaru!

As far as I know, it's pretty much always like that when it comes to debates-- everyone likes their guy more, and thus has bigger reactions to the things they say. Originally, /r/the_donald was celebrating the win of the first debate. /r/politics was celebrating the win of the second. etc. etc.
Hats off to BDA for having the impartiality to hold the opinion that he does, though.

Here's my question-- is this simply ignorance or is it just full-blown malicious intent at this point?
The extent of which the media's willing to go to slander the guy is kind of sad. Especially since he shits the bed every couple of weeks on his own.

Interesting read by Scott Adams about the debate.

He has some good points, but keep in mind this is Scott Adams after all.
[QUOTE=EcksDee;51182001]Why do they never have like a screen behind the candidates where they could just put up pictures when a candidate says something.
Like "Trump says global warming is a Chinese conspiracy made to make US manufacturing less competitive"
"Wrong I do not say that"
*put the tweet up behind him*
"oh"[/QUOTE]
then he'd just say he was being sarcastic :v:

No he specifically said bleach / acid washed the emails. I was wondering the same thing as a normal of: how the fuck can you acid wash an email

according to this, trump lost the debate, he went down
not a huge win for clinton, but she gained a little bit
I think Kenneth Bone is now polling above Gary Johnson...

If elected President, he will grab ISIS by the proverbial pussy, until they feel uncomfortable enough to withdraw from Mosul.
[QUOTE=croguy;51182281]At this rate if they do win I wouldn't be surprised if Pence trips Trump over with his foot on the way to the inauguration ceremony.[/QUOTE]
I get the feeling a Trump presidency would be the first time the VP has assumed the Oval Office in decades. Trump needs to treat his VP like royalty, not chase him away.

That's what you call a sneak attack. Now fire the generals who couldn't think of this.

I think billing it as a "fact check" is stupid, but I appreciate the explanation. I've heard of "wiping" a server but I've [I]never[/I] heard the term "acid-washed" used to describe anything but jeans.
[b]How to show a girl you have a crush on her[/b]
1. Be respectful when she's speaking, especially with your body language. Girls love mature guys.

2. Stalk her at all times. This way you can get more information about her likes and dislikes. This is crucial.

3. Occasionally establish your primordial masculine vitality by humping an inanimate object. Girls are instinctively attracted to virile hunters who know what they want. It's an evolutionary fact.

4. Flirt with her, drop hints that you'll make her your sex slave when you become POTUS. Girls love that.

It's too early to say, since there aren't enough post-debate polls at this hour. Nate Silver is pretty optimistic though that Clinton numbers will increase in the upcoming days.
Oh god, please MSM. Stahp.

Last night, they had it where they were actually saying and I quote, "Trump is wrong, Assad isn't fighting ISIS :D!""
I fucking died laughing when trump started talking about isis immediately after the grab her by the pussy tape was mentioned.
ISIS DID GRAB HER BY THE PUSSY

[QUOTE]THE FACTS: Only partially true. Syria's President Bashar Assad considers the Islamic State group to be among numerous "terrorist" groups that threaten his government. His overstretched military is mainly focused on combating Syrian opposition groups, some of which are supported by the United States. Assad does use air power against IS-held areas and his ground forces are engaged in fighting with the extremists in Deir el-Zour in the east.[/QUOTE]
Seems reasonable to me.

Bone was alright but Karl Becker managed to end the debate on a high note

[QUOTE=Mort Stroodle;51181741]yeah, what need is some WORSE infrastructure[/QUOTE]
how much is shit infrastructure even worth? at what point do we finally stand up and say "we're not getting what we pay for here"? I don't think it'll matter how much we tax the people-- our country will still be bleeding money every step of the way.
i think that regardless of how much we unjustly tax the fuck out of people, what we receive back from the US gov won't be even close to what we paid for
and yes, at that point, we might as well privatize. at least we'll have the competition of the free market to ensure that there's at least a reason to strive for some semblance of quality

the free market is not a solution to all problems and often pretty much fucks the poor

there are multiple instances of the free market not promoting innovation, improvement or quality and in fact stifling it: see the telecomms industry for one
[QUOTE=ZombieWaffle;51185011]there are multiple instances of the free market not promoting innovation, improvement or quality and in fact stifling it: see the telecomms industry for one[/QUOTE]
Entirely true.
That being said, I find it hard to believe that companies can do much worse than the government when it comes to our infrastructure. Besides, there are plenty of instances in which privatization delivers a far better product than the public alternative, for example, public vs. private schooling. Within the United States, it's almost a given that a child educated at a private school is far more likely to receive a better education than one educated at a public school. Certainly, this could be blamed on other factors (eg: families that cannot afford private school tending to be of lower-class and thus not have the same resources such as tutoring) but it's the closest to a fair example as we're going to get. The issue with trying to discuss something like the telecom industry is simply that there isn't a public telecom service for a privatized one to be compared to.
I don't think privatization is the answer to everything, but I certainly think that it's an option that we should be looking into-- especially as it becomes increasingly clear that our current plans of "let's keep raising taxes and increasing the amounts we're funnelling in" continue to show almost no positive results; like a toddler inserting endless quantities of nickels into a broken arcade machine.
Try it. I expect it will fail and abuse the poor spectacularly and empower only a few. Everything in your nation might as well if that's the attitude. You don't save any money paradoxically and you can't really go back to public services afterwords without a huge struggle so try it I guess.
Taxes suck, I agree. But they do legitimately provide services.
