i heard she invented the internet, too.

j reacts to elizabeth may distracting from her distracting policies

the best thing that she can do for the green party is step down. she talks about bds as distracting, without realizing that her views on abortion are killing the party.

the greens need a younger, more secular leader. with the apparent collapse of the ndp, there's a big space for them in the spectrum. but, may will only prevent them from moving into it.

i don't want to say 'good riddance'. she's actually a very good mp. but they need new leadership.

j reacts to the potential of trump being recorded as the hamlet of the modern era

it was actually a pretty good punchline.

they say timing is everything in comedy...

no, really. excellent delivery. 10/10.

nonsense, and not worth deconstructing - except to point out that it was clearly a jab at gun nuts. that is, it was the gun owners that were the butt of the joke. it's the dipshit social justice types that are (once again) missing the point - this is just another excuse to push down their authoritarianism and censorship. they'll jump at the opportunity to misconstrue things to push their morals down your throats.

i mentioned it was excellent delivery, and it really was. it was the kind of line you expect to hear in a conan monologue, or a daily show take down.

...and the takeaway is that it's increasingly clear that trump actually doesn't feel comfortable representing the base. he doesn't want to go out there and work up gun nuts and religious crazies. he's getting tired of this.

so, again: excellent delivery. 10/10.

to be crystal clear and absolutely terse: trump was stating, tongue-in-cheek, that he actually supports gun control.

what do you think that donald trump really thinks of these people? do you think he's really on their side? that he'll stand up for them?

he thinks they're a bunch of pathetic, inbred losers that fell for a lot of barely strung together nonsense.

trump has a record: he's always supported gun control in the past - like every other sane northeastern liberal. and, what he's signalling is that he doesn't like the role he's playing, right now.

so, again: great delivery. 10/10.

i hope we get more of this, as it becomes increasingly clear that he's going to lose huge.

trump doesn't have a chance of winning the presidency. but, he can go out with a bang and give us some performance art that will last for centuries.

if i were her, i wouldn't wear a jumpsuit that is exactly that shade of orange.

j reacts to who is at fault for vote splitting (always the major party...)

if clinton does win georgia, it should just be a reminder that vote splitting happens not as a consequence of insolent voting bases but as a consequence of poor political leadership. you should never, ever, ever, ever, ever blame voters for vote splitting.

how much is it going to cost in terms of campaign contributions to get clinton to show up to a press conference in a full out zoot suit?

we haven't seen a blowout like this in a while. reagan, i guess? it's not a prediction, it's just something to think about. i guess it's her maximum haul....

no, that's fine. send him out to have fun. write the pot off as a public expenditure. tell him to take an extra long vacation. great. that's exactly what was expected. but, i didn't vote for gerald butts, either - the party needs to take control back from the pmo.

j reacts to concerns over clinton's health (should there be a mandatory retirement age?)

there have been persistent rumours floating around for many years that she has a drinking problem.

the way she squinches her eyes indicates that this was involuntary, and her quick recovery indicates it was expected. but, those that are claiming this was not a seizure are also correct. it almost looks more like a cocaine tremor. i suspect her chai is a little special.

i wonder if she coughed through her speeches to goldman sachs.

how much per cough?

is this what her multi-million dollar speech for goldman sachs was like?

see, i don't think they should be tax-exempt in the first place...

i don't like laws that restrict speech.
