Just a simple message from a deplorable cartoon character:

In case anybody was wondering, this is what a racist meme looks like:

[TobiasFunke]

I will meet you at she let a few people on her plane from the press to ask a few questions that might or might not have been planned to be able to squash the argument against her avoiding holding press conferences. At that point, it's not worth arguing further IMO. The first debate is in a few days, anyways. Not a Hillary fan, but not a Trump fan either. Not a Bernie fan either, but respect him a lot more than Hillary or Trump because he was genuine. Leaning Gary Johnson because he aligns most with my views, and to get in front of the throw away vote thing, it's how I feel and it aligns with my politics...I'll feel free to vote that way in a democratic election having actually done some research into how I feel. Hillary just gives me the feel that her campaign is running under the mantra of, "Keep her out of all completely non-rehearsed situations possible." Something doesn't feel right about that.

This was a different event.  She did what you describe a couple times, and then held what can't be considered anything other than a press conference, at a podium, fielding questions.

I agree with your criticism of the openness of her campaign, although I think it's more about distrust of the press than on a need to stay in rehearsed situations. And in any event I prefer that to speaking freely but also lying freely, not answering questions freely, and then rejecting all follow-up questions asked of the campaign.  If we're going to let our candidates get away with that, I don't really see much value in those unrehearsed situations anyway.

 

[Murph]

By definition, you might be correct.  But the logic falls apart because it's focused on narrowly defining terms instead of considering impacts. To use a non-political analogy: If the wind blows during one team's field goal attempt but is calm for the second team's field goal attempt, it has helped the second team.  And that is pretty much exactly what you are doing. You're presenting obstacles for and opposition to one candidacy while refusing to do the same for the other.

I just call 'em like I see 'em. I have no allegiance to any party, faction, or clique. If a candidate is so flawed that valid criticism kills his or her campaign that is the fault of the candidate and their underlying flaws. Not the critic.

I think we might have simply been differing on semantics.  Maybe applying criticism unevenly or holding the candidates to different standards doesn't "support" Trump in a public forum so much as it "assists" him.  Do you agree that it does that?

Possibly. In this specific case I can't really imagine I'm doing much to assist Trump given that (A) no one reading these threads is changing their mind and (B) while I've hit Clinton harder on honesty and transparency I've hit Trump harder on being a terrible human being.

But as a more general proposition, sure I can understand better where you are coming from if you want to talk about assistance rather than support.

If I'm not mistaken I think we just reached friendly agreement regarding each other's perspective. It's an internet miracle.

Assist and support are synonyms. 

 

[Murph]

Assist and support are synonyms. 

I thought semantics chat was over but I guess not. Supporting a candidate requires active intent. Many things can assist a candidate, including things are unrelated or only tangentially related to a campaign.

 

[Murph]

And if people think I'm being pedantic about this, I'm sorry. But I won't stand for being called a Trump supporter.

Median income rises 5.2% in 2015. One of largest increases ever. Middle class grows and poverty rate declines. Game over for Trump.

Trump is trying to "Make America Great Again" not mediocre.

The problem is that I don't believe Trump supporters are aware of this, or will be made aware of it, and if they are they'll just assume its made up. The country doesn't feel right to them.

Trump rolls out proposal for 6 weeks guaranteed maternity leave.

 

[The Football Freak]

I thought semantics chat was over but I guess not. Supporting a candidate requires active intent. Many things can assist a candidate, including things are unrelated or only tangentially related to a campaign.

I was not taking a side, just pointing out they are literally synonyms. Assisting someone can or cannot also involve active intent. Many things can also support a candidate, including things that are unrelated or only tangentially related to campaign.  

I'm certainly not trying to talk you into any opinion, but just pointing out that you're saying I don't want six, I want half a dozen. That was my only point.  You seem to be comfortable with the same concept either way, but are hung up on your perceived semantics over synonyms.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Trump will also propose deductions for child care.

He's up to something.

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

Trump rolls out proposal for 6 weeks guaranteed maternity leave.

Ivanka's influence.  

Claims he will pay for it by eliminating unemployment fraud.  Subtracting increased cost of recovery for the dollars available there, that might get him 10% of the way.

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

Trump will also propose deductions for child care.

He's up to something.

This one is genius.  

It sounds like a pro-working class proposal.  If you oppose it, you hate children and working families.

Making it a deduction instead of tax credit means it will Ivanka and Donald Jr. will get a tax break for the cost of their nannies, but families stretched thin by child care costs won't benefit from it at all.

ETA: turns out Donald Jr. has young children, too.  Thanks to cstu for mentioning this.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

After mocking Lauer's performance for the better part of four minutes, Bee really settled on the core issue concerning journalists in this election.

"The truth is Matt Lauer did a fantastic job at the meaningless campaign coverage we've come to demand from our media," she said. "At some point, networks decided that they can ask questions and the answers would just be someone else's problem."

Honestly is there anyone Hillary would have rather had moderate that event?

 

[TobiasFunke]

Honestly is there anyone Hillary would have rather had moderate that event?

Seriously?  Come on.  That's the worst possible scenario for her.

Clinton is certainly not the picture of truthfulness, consistency, or straightforward answers to questions. But compared to Trump she certainly is.  Her preferred moderator is someone that presses the candidates on their answers and challenges them to defend previous statements and positions. That sort of questioning might be a problem for her in a vacuum, but if Trump faces the same type of challenges it's her dream come true.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

She pointed to the lack of fact-checking in covering the election. ..

Yet just as Bee decided that journalists aren't preparing themselves for the issues that have come up in this presidential election, she also identified why that may be.

"The problem is news organizations are simply not equipped to cover a candidate whose entire being is a lie," she proposed, referring to Trump. "Maintaining the image of fairness requires them to portray Hillary and Trump as equally flawed candidates, even though they know that's incorrect."

I think what people are seeing is that reporters really aren't always that competent. And they often don't care about ethics.

There is a lot of incompetence. But also they really should not be parenthetically telling people oh hey this politician is full of it. That's not so much about Trump but the 99.999% other politicians. Whatever rule they apply to Trump they have to apply to everyone else. Are they going to do that? No.

As far as corruption is concerned, how often do reporters really report on it? Many reporters just feel that giving/getting money is part of the system and you know what they benefit from it. The reporters play the inside game all the time, so why bite the hand that feeds them. See a politician go down and then watch the wolves descend, all the bag of secrets is emptied when it no longer matters.

And I think they view lying as part of the political game too. So they play along.

And so while it's true that Trump is so brazenly full of insanely horrible lies and also proliferates them so, so fast that it is hard for reporters to keep up, the thing is they are just not wired this way. I think that the reporting profession has been hollowed out in this way for some time and whaddyaknow here comes the Wizard of Oz to take advantage of it, it was a shell of a wall and he's just driven his big circus truck right through it.

Yeah I meant in terms of Lauer's viewpoint and what I would think would be his leaning towards her, but actually I think you're right, she would have rathered a serious newsperson. So I'm not sure what happened here, IMO an infotainment guy like Lauer should never have been hosting that sort of thing anyway. Did that actually count as one of the three "debates"?

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

Donald Trump Jr. has 5 kids under 10.

He reminds me so much of Derek from Step Brothers I don't think of him as a parent of young children.  But maybe he will be able to deduct that $1200 a month he spends on voice lessons for the family.

I would have liked Don Lemon to get one of the debate moderator slots.  He manages to stay smooth on air, but there are moments when it seems like if he has to hear one more illogical spin from Betsy McCaughey or one more condescending statement inconsistent with Trump's actual words from Kellyanne Conway he's gonna cut a ##### right there on live TV.

No, that was an NBC produced event I think.  The three official debates and the VP one are orchestrated by the Commission on Presidential Debates.

You can't call someone a racist for what you perceive as an attack against a country or a religion, neither of those things are classified as a race.

So the unfortunate remark about and objection to the Mexican judge abjudicating the Trump U fraud lawsuit (BECAUSE HE IS MEXICAN) would be racist by this standard, pretty much a textbook definition?

Confirmation bias on your part if you think that proves Trump is a racist when instead it was just him trying to use persuasion strategy to come out ahead regardless of outcome.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Trump will end up being a little left of Clinton. The people who just blindly vote for political parties need to get their heads out of their rumps

Good to see you find it funny, McGoo.

 

[Bob Magaw]

Confirmation bias on your part if you think that proves Trump is a racist when instead it was just him trying to use persuasion strategy to come out ahead regardless of outcome.

Just going by your definition. Trump used race to smear a legal threat (in this case a judge). You seem to be in denial if you don't think referencing the judge's race (whether part of a hypothetical "persuasion strategy" or not) isn't racist.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-racist-examples_us_56d47177e4b03260bf777e83  

The Justice Department sued his company ― twice ― for not renting to black people

Is that racist?

In fact, discrimination against black people has been a pattern in his career

How about that sub-section?

He refused to condemn the white supremacists who are campaigning for him (I'd add initially and immediately, he was slow to)

He questions whether President Obama was born in the United States (you have to admit this was/is goofy)

He treats racial groups as monoliths (you bring your rapists, your murderers, etc. - remembering stuff that didn't happen like Muslims celebrating 9/11 might fall into this category, and the infamous tweet about Trump Tower Grill Taco Bowls and loving Mexicans was egregiously cringe-worthy)

He placed an ad for the Central Park Five to be executed (DNA evidence proved their innocence) 

He stereotyped Jews and shared an anti-Semitic meme created by white supremicists

He treats African-American supporters as tokens to dispel the idea he is racist ("Look at my African-American over here.")

It is unassailably a systematic pattern. Failure to acknowledge this is impossible to interpret in any way other than confirmation bias.

 

[Bob Magaw]

Good to see you find it funny, McGoo.

Likewise Beaver.

 

[sho nuff]

Yes,the Curiel stuff was racist,  as was tje Pocahontas stuff, as is when he has referred  to"the blacks" in derogatory ways.  Several things about Jews....and the list keeps going.

Anyone claiming he has not said or done racist things is in serious denial.

 

[Northern Voice]

Trump rolls out proposal for 6 weeks guaranteed maternity leave.

This seems so ridiculous to me until I looked it up and realized it's currently 0.

It's 50 weeks paid at 55-80% of salary in Canada

[Card Trader]

About time for McGaw to get talked to by Joe again

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I saw the Hillary clone today in DC eating a corndog and playing street backgammon with some Asian kids. 

 

[cstu]

This seems so ridiculous to me until I looked it up and realized it's currently 0.

It's 50 weeks paid at 55-80% of salary in Canada

New York Attorney General to investigate Trump's non-profit.

Don't tell his base.
