Actually going to a buddies house to watch it. He was leaning towards Trump, but the “pussy” comments pushed him over the edge.

A reminder of what we are fighting over.

DISCUSSION (38)

Kinja'd!!!

I will watch. In my mind Trump position is not salvageable, but not everyone seems to have caught on.

Fuck that shit (but either way, Go Hillary, at least just to keep status quo).

Anyway, some dank beats.

The pussy comment is what pushed him over the edge? Nothing else that moron said did the trick? I know Hilary will just be same as usual but goodness why is this idiot allowed to speak and treat people like this?

And screw Hilary too! If I had done what she did with classified material I’d be in prison but it’s fine for a high level official to do it...

Coming from an outside perspective, no one who makes such comments should be in charged of one of the most powerful countries in the world, I’m sure Clinton has made bad things but at least she isn’t making comments like a 5 year old.

And I love how the only reason to vote Trump that I have seen in YouTube videos is that they don’t want to vote Hillary. It’s like no matter what you are getting a bad president.

I feel like I’d like nothing more than to see news that both were killed by a mob wielding hammers. There’s nothing of value there, just pure disgrace. Either way, our country will be the world’s laughingstock.

I’m in the St. Louis area, so part of me wants to sneak in and throw water balloons at Trump.

But I doubt being shot by the secret service would look good on my resume.

As I’ve seen described in plenty of other places... the pussy comment itself isn’t what really offended Republicans.

It was Trump’s pursual of married women - in other words, his attempt to steal another man’s “property” (in Republicans’ eyes, anyway).

bhtooefr > Probenja
10/09/2016 at 10:16

There are other candidates on the ballot.

I’ll be voting for Jill Stein, for instance. Those on the right that are disgusted by Trump should vote for Gary Johnson (unless they’re more disgusted by him, but...)

I think it’s more about how he said it . . . .if you listen to the tape, he basically says he gropes women (which is a form of sexual assault) and can get away with it because he’s famous. This combined with all of the other things is what’s causing people to desert him.

Spridget > Wheelerguy
10/09/2016 at 10:20

Uhh . . . why do you want to keep the status quo?

Also, you’re in the Philippines, right? What do you think of Rodrigo Duterte?

Wheelerguy > Spridget
10/09/2016 at 10:34

Well, I’d at least rather keep on with the current holdup than suddenly change everything and throw old problems under the rug.

Also... check my posting history about what I think about Rod.

Meh. The pussy comments are a non-issue for me. I’m sure Hillary has made comments about grabbing somebody’s weiner that weren’t recorded for a tabloid TV show, so no biggy there. Plus there is everything that she let Bill get away with that is much, much worse from a female perspective. On top of that, Trump actually owned up to it, and was quick to put out a statement and apology.

How about the donations that Hillary has received from the Middle-Eastern countries where women are not treated as equals, and they (along with gays) are stoned for misbehaving?

I’m looking forward to the debate. It should be quality television, if nothing else.

Mercedes Streeter > nermal
10/09/2016 at 11:27

I would have edited out the “(along with gays)“ portion. lol While the dems have given a cold shoulder to the LBGTQ+ community for decades, the GOP has been worse.

And likewise the same to women. For all the GOP loves to brag about giving more people freedom than the dems, they certainly don’t like giving those same freedoms to gay people, women, and people who follow religions that aren’t Christianity.

As for Trump, idk really. Trump is trying to win at all costs. Who knows what his actual policy positions are. For all we know, he could be duping everyone. At least Shillary is transparently terrible lol.

epidemike > Sam

Trump is definitely not ready.

I find it hilarious that he is getting lambasted for those sexual comments but not the other stuff. BTW what he said wasnt that bad and not worth dropping out. Its not like he went into a full sadomasochistic session about how he wants to torture women.

Not a Trump supporter but I find it interesting how his party is just dumping him. I find it also odd how this all started after the VP debate in which people kept saying Pence looked and sounded presidential (which he didnt IMO).

epidemike > bhtooefr
10/09/2016 at 12:32

Really? Wow...

nermal > Mercedes Streeter
10/09/2016 at 13:25

The problem with the GOP is the old, “Christian” guys that have been running it forever. Their insistence on sticking to their ways is the reason why they ended up with Trump. The good thing about him is that he is much more loose than traditional GOP candidates in his views on social issues, despite flip-flopping on them recently to appease the old guys.

Bill Clinton is one step behind Bill Cosby in the womanizing department, the biggest difference being one used their power and the other drugs to seduce their targets. The Clinton Foundation has accepted multiple donations, some in excess of $10 Million, from countries where women get rocks thrown at them until they are dead for things like driving a car. If somebody is so pro-womens rights, why would they allow that?

The point being, despite Trump being recorded talking about hitting on a married woman and being able to grab them in the pussy as a result of his billionaire status, it’s still not as bad as some of the things tied to the Clintons. We’re unfortunately dealing with picking the lesser of two evils here, and from my perspective, it’s still Trump.

Mercedes Streeter > nermal
10/09/2016 at 13:33

I can’t disagree with any of your points! And remember, if you or I did what Hillary did with that server, we’d be spending 30 years behind bars like we do to everyone else we convict for treason.

As for the lesser of two evils, idk. As you said yourself, Trump’s taken both the liberal and conservative position on everything so far, so he’s a wildcard. Clinton guarantees 4 more years of establishment politics, with even less transparency and more reaming from Wall St. bankers...so pick your drug, I guess. lol

Sam > Mercedes Streeter
10/09/2016 at 13:47

I’m so glad someone else is thinking this way. He’s really just telling people what they want to hear, so that he can win the presidency. I seriously doubt The Wall was ever a serious thing that he was going to attempt.

Sam > nermal
10/09/2016 at 13:48

At least Bill didn’t actually rape any women. They may have been sexual favours for advancement, but they were likely voluntary. And honestly, I’m the type of guy that doesn’t really give a shit about the whole “sanctity of marriage” bit. Do whatever you want, as long as you don’t get caught and nobody gets hurt.

I think Rod should be summarily executed after a trial by the Hague. Attribute every single murder to him and he’s looking at life in prison.

Sam > bhtooefr
10/09/2016 at 13:52

I’m voting Jill Stein because I know she’ll only get a single digit percentage of the vote. That means that I don’t have to worry about my vote actually counting for anything.

Sam > f86sabre
10/09/2016 at 13:54

Honestly, there are a lot of people that probably don’t care at all.

Also, I always try to see the ISS fly over, but I always miss it. One day, I’ll see it.

Mercedes Streeter > Sam

Lucky, I haven’t smoked since I got fired from Zingit, drug tests and all that jazz. I think Miss Tesla had some girl scout cookies once...they actually sorta kinda smelled like them too! lol

I work at a pizza place, so I could show up baked out of my mind if I wanted to (that would be super irresponsible, though, and I would never try it). I treat it the same as alcohol. I get home after a long day and just relax. Or go hang out with my friends and chill. I try to limit it a lot, because it can really get addictive if you let it. But next Oppomeet, I know what I’m bringing hehe. :)

Yep I’m voting 3rd party because this year I think enough people will to actually send some kind of a message, or whatever. Just wanna tell Dems and Reps to go eff themselves.

Have a song for your time.

Sam > DC3 LS, will be perpetually replacing cars until the end of time
10/09/2016 at 14:14

Yeah, I think if a third party actually gets a considerable percent of the vote, it will really send a message.

But the third party candidates are kinda completely nuts, so I would really rather not have them manage a win.

My favorite Dead Kennedys song -

I wish that were true, but at this point I really don’t think that the general public cares what he says. He isn’t a politician, and they love him for it.

Might watch it. Wife forced me to watch the last one, I tried changing the channel back to South Park after about 2 mins. It was painful to watch, this shouldn’t be much better.

I was disappointed in Trump last debate. His whole dialogue fell apart after the race question. “CALL SEAN HANNITY, MY 10 YEAR OLD IS GOOD WITH THE COMPUTERS”

Sam > Matsayz
10/09/2016 at 17:58

He was in the camp of “everything Trump says is to get publicity, he doesn’t actually mean it and his policies are sound”. But once he started throwing the campaign after the first debate, he became wary of Trump’s ability to compete with Clinton.

I’ll have to wait for a written transcript. Like everyone else who cares about American politics I am interested in this “debate,” but I can’t stand looking at and listening to Donald Trump speaking. It’s that professional wrestling rhetorical style of his, as though the speaker is a.) full of adrenaline and b.) has just recently been repeatedly hit on the head, so that all the syntax is slightly scrambled and all the idioms are slightly askew.
