The Donald-thread

[Tero]

I only heard "barberism". Then he stopped.

[pErvinalia]

I can't believe he did that. He even took the piss out of his wife. What a fucking arsehole.

[JimC]

At least he's keeping you entertained, rEv, and off the streets...

[Tero]

Any hands jokes?

[pErvinalia]

Ok, Hillary is ripping into him too. Not as nasty as him, but still. This is pretty fucked for a children's charity event.

How about the look on Rudi Guiliani's face?

[Tero]

Very sweet of Donald to send that car to pick up Hillary for the dinner. A hearse.

[pErvinalia]

At least Hillary's insults were all in the form of jokes. Many of his were outright attacks. And she was at least able to be self-deprecating.

[Animavore]

Donald mistook saying mean and vindictive things for "being funny" and then wonders why no one likes him. A typical bully's character.

Yeah, I was just reading about that in The Guardian (Donald Trump booed for calling Clinton 'corrupt' as bipartisan dinner turns sour). Seems both parties gave a poor account of themselves, but Trump in particular totally missed the tenor of the event and treated it like a campaign rally to supporters. No doubt he'll blame everybody but himself for getting it wrong, again.

I watched it. They were supposed to make jokes, and jokes at the expense of the other person. He made a few good ones.

The booing would have happened no matter what. It's a room full of establishment fat-cats. They are in the Hillary camp, so they'll boo if you joke about her deleting stuff, or rigging stuff, or saying "pardon" me.... they want their girl to be treated well. They don't give a fuck what anyone would say about Trump.

That's just not true -- they both took serious jabs at each other. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/act ... th-dinner/

Right on, comrade! Come the revolution, they'll all be dangling from lamp-posts!

What is Trump then?

Trump says countries are turning on US because 'the world hates Obama'

“The world hates our president,” Trump said Friday at a rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. “The world hates us. You saw what happened with the Philippines after years and years and years; they’re now looking to Russia and China, because they don’t feel good about the weak America.”

This waffle is definitely for the domestic consumption of those who have no real interest in what people outside the US actually think about Obama but desperately search for a scapegoat on which to pin their own dark feelings about their nation.
