    i can

    kind of see how someone that hasn't been following things closely would come away from that debate thinking clinton looked bad

    informally addressing her opponent by his first name while he used her title, all but rolling her eyes at everything he said, constantly digging at his character, seeming to gang up with the moderator on him over fact-checks (which were valid fact-checks but if you don't realize that trump is a huge liar i can see how you'd almost think he was being bullied by them)

    then again he openly bragged about not paying income taxes and rooting for the housing crisis

    i dunno i thought she did great i'm just scared how she came off to the people these debates are targeted at

    Opinion polls of the not online variety have shown Clinton won by double digits among people who watched it, of which there were 80 million people. So most likely it was a bad night for team trump. Hence when he's running ads that he won today because nothing says winner like "HEY I WON!"

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    I assumed it was just a mailing list.

    Sure, but a mailing list that leads to frequent violations of the law

    Eh, i bet if I'd signed up to Hilary's list I'd get the same

    The foreign dignitaries who are getting emails from the Trump campaign didn't sign up for it, though.

    Eh much like his non racist comments about jewish people, they realize he's only insulting the bad 400 pound dudes in moms basement, not them.

    Trump is fundamentally incapable of backing down and admitting he was wrong

    The closest he's come is vague mentions of regrets but never on any specific thing

    That's more or less how I felt when I went to a CoG wedding

    You're like wait why are we

    ok those hands aren't straight i guess we're ok

    A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
    However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.

    He didn't go back on it in the debate I don't know why anyone would think he'd go back on it outside of the debate.

    Also why were so many folks holding up their phones like that at that Trump rally? Are they all taking really really shitty photos of the really really shitty man? And like, all of them?

    When is anybody going to mention the pissing

    It's hard to tell, but I really hope a lot of those photos people are taking is their middle finger extended towards that degenerate.

    Also because a bunch of game devs are dropping plans to develop for the Oculus Rift until he resigns (he's still with the company, just not the owner)

    I don't find that as important because even if he resigns he will still be a rich asshole

    this way he is actively working against his interests with such a harebrained scheme

    Vow is the best among us. (To be fair I only saw it when people started mentioning it as a white supremacist/anti-Semitic symbol.)
