Oh, that gonna sting, having to go around like any poor schmuck, knowing that Hillary would have kept hers even if she had lost.
Yeah, of the thousands of assholish things Trump has said over the endless past year, that gets my vote for the most Biff Tannen-like of all.
Probably not, actually. But if Hillary said it, yeah, you’d likely win that bet…
I’ll bet those Secret Service agents are going to be so happy on November 9th “I have to jump in front of a bullet for this schmuck?”
As I have mentioned before, my family trade is the Law. Though I have not followed it, requiring me to spend my days around lawyers, I can admire a “straight for the jugular” move as part of how you play the game. Trump has always had proxies to mount his defense, and would be cut to skinny ribbons by a good prosecutor if he had to testify. And it would’ve been hilarious.

Wallace did fairly well except…

Chris Wallace ain’t his dad. Mike should’ve risen from the dead to moderate this. That he didn’t argues against an afterlife. However, Chris’ failure reminds me why, given a Federal judge for a dad, I chose another path.
People forget how it takes really good players, like the Generals, to keep up with the Trotters. And throw a game convincingly.
Flag pins are 2012. Do try to keep up. ![]()
Kid (I call everybody “Kid” IRL), I welcome you back and will not mention my doper crush on you, for a while. ![]()
Oh please; there’s no way Trump is going to shut up after the election is over & the media will still cover him. We won’t hear the last of him until he either drops dead, or the Trumplings finally get a conservatorship & lock him up somewhere to protect what’s left of the family fortune.
I don’t think he’s going to inhabit the talk shows the way McCain has ever since his own bad loss.
I think despite his desperate efforts to promote and maintain exposure to the Trump brand, interest will rapidly fall off to about the reality-show level of interest that surrounds the Kardashians and Paris Hilton. There will certainly be a subclass of media inclined to exploit that interest, but at least most of us won’t have to be subjected to it on a daily basis.
Right. My prediction: He’ll own an Internet-only media property, because a Trump cable network which exists longer than fifteen minutes is a pipe dream in today’s landscape, which will have a devoted fanbase similar to Alex Jones and Infowars, but he’ll go back to being a semi-obscure punchline in the media most of the country pays attention to.
I could be wrong. He could end up with a semi-permanent gig on a radio show, especially satellite radio. He might even end up on cable TV as a recurring talking head, but I don’t see how even FOX News could stomach him anymore, given how much he’d cost relative to how little he’d gain. He’s self-marginalizing, and he marginalizes everything he associates with, both in terms of tone and content and in terms of him actively driving off anyone who doesn’t want to be around a stupid, disgusting asshole.
Or I could be wrong in the other direction, and he’ll sink to a level of media attention even lower than what he had in the 1990s/early 2000s. He could become a true analog for Alex Jones, which means he and his property are utterly ignored by the mainstream 99.9% of the time and only exist in the fever-swamps of conspiracy theory-friendly fringe media and graffiti plastered on walls in college towns. That’s not D-list; it’s not even Z-list, which is where old flavors-of-the-month usually end up. That’s Omega-list. That’s shit you have to actively seek out or, rarely, stumble upon.
It actually wouldn’t surprise me if he loses in a landslide, and ends up committing suicide.
Was anyone else wondering how she would look with a lightsaber photoshopped in? Pretty badass, I reckon.
Put in your suggestions for 2020 early, then…
I say we start the thread for the first debate of 2020 right now.
:dubious: Just cop to it, Jennshark, you messed up the Wizard of Oz roles. West and East were both wicked; the Good witches were from North and South.
ETA: Of course, snowthx also messed up. Plenty of blame to go 'round…
DANG! Ninja’d by Colibri! He only beat me by 20.5 hours tough. I’m catchin’ up!
Actually, I think the World’s Largest Projector is showing movies on an IMAX screen somewhere…
Don’t count your chickens before they hatch, and please don’t jinx Hillary!
Then welcome back in your new persona! ![]()
I’m afraid I had not heard about your husband’s passing. Please accept my condolences.
May I humbly request that the denizens of his site endeavor to NOT make the SDMB such a “stumble-upon” vector? Truth to tell, I never would have heard of Alex Jones had it not been for the attempts at self-amusement of my fellow Dopers…
Make sure to call it “live” so certain posters can get pissy.
