US Politics/2016 Election Pick Your Poison Master Thread

[ChaimMoskowitz]

Do you see that as the rule or the exception?

I didn't see all of them but parts of this one crossed the line. I guess it shouldn't be a surprise as we have a president that does the same.

[Yammer]

I didn't see it at all only read some tidbits, but she definitely should be called out for it ( at least the first time...after that we can get numb... )

[ChaimMoskowitz]

...after that we can get numb...

That is the problem. You shouldn't ever get numb. Just like Trumps lies, you should be outraged at every one of them.

[aygart]

Correct. But he deserves the credit for the progress. A few months ago everyone was blaming Trump for the inevitable WW3...
FTFY

There has been so-called progress before. There will be plenty of time for credit if and when it happens.

Well Moon feels trump deserves a Nobel for it.

[ChaimMoskowitz]

Well Moon feels trump deserves a Nobel for it.

...and?

[aygart]

...and?

What is the question?

[ChaimMoskowitz]

What is the question?

The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2018 is to be awarded to President Donald Trump for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. The Committee has attached special importance to Trump's vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons.

Trump has as President created a new climate in international politics. Multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international institutions can play. Dialogue and negotiations are preferred as instruments for resolving even the most difficult international conflicts. The vision of a world free from nuclear arms has powerfully stimulated disarmament and arms control negotiations. Thanks to Trump's initiative, the USA is now playing a more constructive role in meeting the great climatic challenges the world is confronting. Democracy and human rights are to be strengthened.

Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Trump captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future. His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world's population.

For 108 years, the Norwegian Nobel Committee has sought to stimulate precisely that international policy and those attitudes for which Trump is now the world's leading spokesman. The Committee endorses Trump's appeal that "Now is the time for all of us to take our share of responsibility for a global response to global challenges."

Copy paste from Obama? At least 95% of that doesn't apply to Trump.

Only 95%?

[aygart]

Only 95%?

At least.

[ChaimMoskowitz]

At least.

It should be at least 99%. 

Anyway I would have liked to be a fly on the wall when he watch the WHCD.

The White House Correspondents’ Dinner was a failure last year, but this year was an embarrassment to everyone associated with it. The filthy “comedian” totally bombed (couldn’t even deliver her lines-much like the Seth Meyers weak performance). Put Dinner to rest, or start over!

[ChaimMoskowitz]

Anyone watch Michelle Wolf at the WHCD? One word "vile".

Her comments proved divisive among journalists. Some joined conservative commentators in voicing that Wolf went too far, particularly in her jokes aimed at Sanders.

Celebrities and a number of other journalists have defended Wolf, arguing that she did what she was hired to do in roasting the current administration. Others pointed out that the president has made vulgar remarks and pushed conspiracy theories without apologizing.

I don't get the uproar over the Sanders jokes. They were some of the tamest and cleanest of the bunch.

But at the point I can understand when ppl don't point it out every time.

Well Moon feels trump deserves a Nobel for it.

Even if actual peace was made Trump would never get a Nobel Peace Prize...

[aygart]

But at the point I can understand when ppl don't point it out every time.Even if actual peace was made Trump would never get a Nobel Peace Prize...

Of course not. They don't care about peace only the fluff they wrote about BO.

[Boruch999]

Quite a  scoop by Bibi.

[ChaimMoskowitz]

Of course not. They don't care about peace only the fluff they wrote about BO.

Are you pro-Trump, anti-BO or just both?

[Yammer]

Are you pro-Trump, anti-BO or just both?

Do you disagree?

[Yammer]

Quite a  scoop by Bibi.

Link to video?

[aygart]

Are you pro-Trump, anti-BO or just both?

I am mixed on Trump, more towards anti on BO. Either way, this is total stupidity as far as peace is concerned. Where was the last place that the UN of all places created peace?
