The US Election 2016, Part VIII

[Amentep]

 

 

Interestingly enough Pence went off message from Trump and thought Assad's force (or what's left of them) shouldn't miss out on the JDAM fun.

So the general consensus is Pence won the debate over Kaine. This doesn't change people's view on who to vote for in the presidential debate as it applies to VP only 

 

 

How many people actually vote for a VP candidate instead of Voting for a Prez-VP ticket?

[Pidesco]

It's not so much about who "won" but more about how the debate gets analyzed. From what I understand one of the reasons Pence "won" is that he was decidedly Untrumpian and even said things that are opposite to what Trump has said before. The main example I saw was the subject of Russia and Putin, where Pence had no problems criticizing Putin and the situation with Crimea.

 

This would be taken to heart in a positive way by Trump if he was an intelligent human. Instead I'd wager that he'll feel like doubling down on his Trumpiness will be the response. Like that tweet seems to indicate.

I would likely have voted for McCain if it weren't for Palin, so the VP can change votes.  Although props should be given to the Obama camp for running a very positive campaign that made it easy to jump ship.  Ah, the good old days when we had two candidates that I liked.

Palin was an exceptionally bad VP candidate, though. Pence and Kaine are, on their respective sides, safe, middle of the road guys.

He also claimed that the "theory of evolution is going to be debunked in our lifetimes" and that he "invented a new theory of gravity that is equivalent to Newton's".

 

The days when anything Scott Adams says could be taken seriously are sadly gone by.

We live in an age where a syndicated comic author makes better predictions than all the major media.

 

Fun times.

wod actually used joshua goldberg as a source.  he used goldberg as a source After goldberg were revealed to be an internet troll, and basement dwelling schizophrenic. how can any o' his sources surprise?

 

and am admitting at this point we got no idea what wod means by stalinist, 'cause it don't correspond with any definition we ever learned... lord knows we is baffled by his notion o' what constitutes a stalinist purge.

 

honest, wod responses is stuff we could not invent.  

 

regardless, as we noted earlier, now that folks has given wod a hard time 'bout his stalinist misconceptions, he is gonna work stalinism into most o' his posts for the next week.  is a pattern.  we got a certain morbid curiosity 'bout how long we can keep wod barking out stalinist non-examples, but is already beginning to appear sad rather than funny.

I'm not sure why, but a certain epic thread about the likelihood of a very improbable event ever happening just showed up among my memories.

I already explained that I didn't know that when I linked the article. Your continuing to carp on that only shows your level of immaturity.

There was a concern that the bit had grown stale, but then you posted this.  Well played.

[PK htiw klaw eriF]

You're not really being funny.

Funnel is a Stalinist plot to blind with laughter. I'm glad you and Goldberg aren't falling for it.

[Gfted1]

Well its certainly true that the usual suspect will drive a conversation into the ground.

 

And you misspelled "funny". Look, now Im a grammar NAZI! Dur hurr.

[BruceVC]

You're not really being funny.

WOD  you cant take it seriously, I have been subjected to similar jokes 

 

If you believe you are right about something then just link it and if people dont believe you thats there choice. But dont get annoyed by people disputing what you say or teasing you 

 

Its just examples of forum badinage ....its to be expected

Dont you think we first need to define what " drive a conversation into the ground "  means?

Grammar is a SJW Nazi Stalinist plot to install automatic spellcheck that censors anyone who isn't a SJW Nazi Stalinist.

I wasn't annoyed, I just pointed out he was being tiresome with his lame jokes. Also spam is against forum rules, but that's up to the mods.

again, the fact that you didn't bother to check on the source o' an obvious bat crap crazy article is part o' the problem.  we had no idea who were joshua goldberg 'til we read the article and were struck by absence o' logic or reason o' your linked source.  we checked.  you didn't.  is a trend.  your level o' immaturity is revealed 'cause you ain't learning from your mistakes, as is evident from aluminium's subsequent observations 'bout your sources. 

 

just as you didn't learn to actual read linked material or check your sources, you ain't learned 'bout your pattern.  immature.  you is gonna keep posting non-stalinist examples as long as somebody points out that you post non-stalinist examples when prodded. however, we will concede that we is being immature... but not 'bout goldberg.  you still don't recognize your mistake on that point. your immaturity is gonna result in more joshua goldbergs. nope, am admitting that our prodding o' your reflex is immature.  if we witnessed a child pulling a dumb animal's tail just to see the beast freak out, we would feel bad for the animal and we would admonish the child.  nevertheless, here we are. it is, as we already observed, sad.
