The sequel trilogy is worse than just ruining characters - they had no fucking idea where the story was going until it was on screen. The Last Skywalker was being re-written while shooting for fucks sake

[BonzoMontreaux 1100]

Surly folks should be rejoicing in the fact that, no matter what happens on election day, there will still be an asshole in the oval office for the foreseeable future.

I did not watch the debate, nor have I ever watched anything to do with politics, but the memes this morning on the fb were top shelf

Episode 7 completely destroyed the happy ending of Return of the Jedi.  Just completely shit all over the beloved trio of Leia/Han/Luke.  Held them down while shitting in their mouths, then cut open their stomachs, shit in their stomachs, and then ran a NowThis on them.

[Guest Lobo]

It was like seeing that special someone at the bar at 9pm, the answer to all your prayers.  The hot spicy number that made you feel alive again, like you mattered finally.  And sure your friends told you the one at the end of the bar was nothing but trouble, it was still love at first sight.  And no matter all the crazy, insane shit they did between 9pm and 2am, you were quite smitten.  And sure they whispered sweet nothings into your ear all the way home in the uber they inexplicably had to charge to your account because their "phone died"...but then this debate was like coming out of a blackout to them taking a shit on neck at 6am and you just sorta lay back and think, "Meh, we've come this far...this might as well happen too."

Yes and Yes.  I didnt even watch it but im still embarassed this is what america has to offer

I saw a tweet where they played a Japanese broadcast that had Wallace, Trump and Biden with 3 separate Japanese interpreters. It was high comedy.

Does anybody here wanna trade internet stalkers ("interesting trades considered").  Mine says "weirdo" a lot, like it's his safe word.  

I know the Trump performance was hard on you last night Rex.  You're young, you'll bounce back.

Can’t they just put the mics on timers?

 

Or make them wear dog shock collars?

[NeverMarryAStripper 21928]

Make them wear blackface and have cops stand behind them with tasers

Shutting off mics will make Trump look like less of a bully and slow the game down. I don’t want the game slowed down. 

so you're saying you don't want policy discussion, you just want shit slinging?

[BehoId, The Underminer! 11669]

I’ll try and word this as delicately as possible because I don’t want to go CR. But shutting off mics is goofy to me. It’s not the real world. Some people are adept at talking over people. We don’t live in a fair, censored society and our debates shouldn’t feature this. 

Trump is doing enough damage with the 5-10% he desperately needs. That’s all anyone is talking about today. While Biden showed life and still demonstrated self-control, he would be far more effective just ignoring Trump instead of getting into a verbal sparring effort he cannot win. And he missed some counters that were EASY - he should’ve called Trump out on the spot of the Proud Boys deal but didn’t, because he’s not as quick witted as he needs to be. Shutting off mics will make Trump look like less of a bully and slow the game down. I don’t want the game slowed down. 

it's only goofy if you think the purpose of debates is to emulate those situations.  its not goofy if you think it is to give the public a chance to listen to the ideas from the horse's mouth and consider their positions.

The current format does not facilitate that any more - a longer (2-3hr), roundtable-type policy discussion would enable that, but people would tune out after the first 45-60 minutes.  

[52-80 19258]

The idea of conveying policy within 2 minutes is hilarious. 

It's:

(1a) continuing a previous point you got cut off from

(1b) jab your opponent with more shit-slinging

(2) throw out a statistic [sometimes, untruthfully]

(3) comment on whether said statistic is BAD , or HORRIBLE

 

This TV format is not made for actual debate.  It's made for gas lighting and cat fighting.

[Scheiss Meister 8413]

Put shock collars on both, then give each the controller for the other one's collar.  It won't lead to a better debate or civility, but it will be more entertaining and informative than that shitshow last night.

[tbone_ 14166]

This right here ^

[Paper_jam 836]

If people don't listen to ideas and policies when deciding who to vote for, our system of government is doomed.

First, debates aren’t won on policy points. They are won on oratory power, presidential-ness, and style points. If you think the majority of the populace is listening for their ideas you are grossly exaggerating the intelligence of our people. 

Second, yes, I want to hear their ideas, but they’re instructed by their teams to go at each other because that is what’s going to “win” the debate, per my first point  

Third, read my other post. 

You're right, attacking the other candidate's son who had a substance abuse problem is a great example of oratory power and presidential-ness. And especially STYLE!

It started out as a fun thread, but captainant just always has to leave a turd in the punchbowl.

[Guest Lobo]

You guys are missing the main point.  We are wildly more  respected this morning than we were four years ago.  No politics, but we are the fucking Cat's Pajamas today globally.  Nothing  like  my voicemail lighting up with fucking messages of pussy and love this morning.  We are fucking bosses, yo.
