seriously unless he drops the N bomb, calls Hillary a cunt, or whips his dick out in public it seems like nothing at all has any effect on his Hitler youth support


I literally think his doing any of those things would only delight his supporters.

yeah I actually ignored most of it, because it's mostly a repetition of a lame whine.

Wake me when drumpf apologizes once for any one of his normally disqualifying eruptions, without wrapping it in a tawdry infomercial for one of his glitzy dumps - or even when the media shriek about his failure to do so reaches the same pitch as it has over her inadequate contrition.
Yes, but in a double utley you can put your utley on top they other guy's utley, and you're the winner. (Swish)

Seriously, what the fuck is your problem on here lately? When have I ever been anything other than a vehement critic of Trump?

Hillary has a real problem with dissembling. Even her most ardent supporters acknowledge it. Hell, in that David Muir interview, she also goes on to say that it was allowed by State, how no one thought it was a problem, etc., etc.

My point about the debate response is that she JUST apologized. It wasn't an "I'm sorry, but ________." It was simple and straight-forward without extraneous details, which is something she has never done well (and a shortcoming with which I sympathize).

doc, go take a fucking timeout from the board. You really need it.

Sorry, but declaring a meme a hate symbol is the dumbest thing to happen in a phenomenally dumb election season.

Still. Using that word in response to an article about hate symbols?

And you're wrong anyway. This post at the top of my FB feed just now is the dumbest thing to happen in a phenomenally dumb election season:

It would. I've said before that the only thing that would doom him with his supporters would be to threaten to take guns and burning the Confederate flag.

I probably pay more attention to this crap than is healthy, but HRC apologized for her email decision approximately 7,328,442 different ways, at different lengths, in different tones of voice over the past few months. So "finally gave"? no.

She gave, and gave, and gave these answers, in an assortment of frames, & did it again Monday.

I challenge you to find a single public statement where she said "I’m not going to make any excuses. It was a mistake, and I take responsibility for that." She certainly didn't do it at the DNC, which was the last time that she had a captive national audience.

You read the start of my statement, then ignored the rest where I said that she always watered down those previous statements with lawyerly equivocations.

I actually found a bunch but only posted two.
