Clinton v Trump - The Stretch Run Thread

Well, see, Trump runs around like a maniac and goes without sleep campaigning and promoting his brand, so it’s unfair that Clinton gets to take a night off and still be winning bigly. And the fact that nobody’s complaining about her low energy is proof that the media is out to get him and the election is rigged.

Wow. Pretty sure I’ll remember this the next time you put on an air of superiority.

I’ve been laughing myself sick for the last five minutes and can’t explain to my wife why.

WTF are you talking about now? I mean seriously, what the fuck does this even mean?

Dude. Too soon.

Don’t worry about it. Just have your little laugh about a guy’s dog dying.

I think it means something along the lines of pets being inoffensive and blameless. Bagging on a dead doggy isn’t any more classy than the assholes who made fun of Chelsea in 1993 and Amy in 1977.

Get a grip.

Honestly, not this it matters to you, but I meant the words I said. I’ve had pets die, I prefer it when they don’t, as I’m sure anyone that’s had a pet does, it’s sad when they do, I wasn’t laughing when I posted, and it was just a one-off comment that happened to be paraphrasing DJT.

Sorry I offended you. But I still don’t know what your “air of superiority” comment means. Can you explain that please?

In my interactions with you, I’ve found your posts to contain an annoying level of smugness and condescension. Sorry.

Someone’s being a dick here
I’m not sure whom
it could be me
it could be youm.

Welcome to the Elections Pit

S/he was referring to Trump’s heartless comments about POWs, not advocating the death of anyone’s dog. Jeez.

Condolences to Gov. Pence and his family. Sorry they lost a beloved pet.

And now for something completely different: might be more good news for Hillary on the early-voting front: http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/26/politics/early-voting-statistics-2016-election/index.html

Not sure where else to put this. Cracked.com shared Donald Trump’s open letter of condolence to John Travolta and Kelly Preston at the death of their teenage son.

It has to be seen to be believed. As if we needed any MORE evidence Trump is a lecherous, narcissistic psychopath.

Trump starts by saying how hot Preston and he tried to pick her up, then brags about his pickup skills. He concludes that she must be a very faithful wife to be able to reject his advances, so that makes her a good mother.

I’m trying really hard to imagine what level of smugness and condescension would not be annoying.

Fascinating. I’m still trying to get my head around the idea that the elections officials can provide such precise tallies based on party affiliation. Makes it sound like a semi-secret ballot. :wink:

Happy? Can I borrow your Air of Superiority for Halloween? I’ll have it dry cleaned before I give it back.

EVERYONE!, take your current run of snark over to The BBQ Pit.

I don’t think “life is precious” is found in the Constitution. There is “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” in the Declaration of Independence, but it isn’t clear what strictly formal legal role that document plays in our nation’s legal structure. Not clear to me anyway, I’m sure some people on here understand it perfectly heh

Anyway, even if you interpret instances of “all men” in the founding documents to be equivalent to “all people”, well, fetuses still aren’t people. You can argue that that is a legal quibble, or that it should be changed, but it is the current state of affairs, and so you are wrong that a fetus’ right to life is violated. It doesn’t have that right. Neither do cows, nor corn, nor iron or coal.
