Jezebel wasn’t even around at that point.

According to Wikipedia, Jezebel was launched in 2007, 3 years after that debate. So we can theorize all day about what the response would have been, but it’s just speculation.

And Reagan had Alzheimers (a number of people including his kid said later it was pretty obvious during his second term, even though he wasn’t diagnosed until after he left office), and the GOP still acts like he was the greatest President in history.

The big difference is the left is mostly embarrassed of their conspiracy nuts and tries to get them to STFU, while the right gives them their own radio & TV shows.

Hah, yeah, I was just thinking about that. IIRC, that “scandal” got pretty much the same attention (not much) and response (lol its a mic) as this one.

I think the third option you list also makes sense for a certain segment of voters. It really depends on what you consider major issues and what you consider unimportant. For someone who’s #1 issue is ending the “War on Drugs” but doesn’t care much about economic policy, for example, the Libertarians could be…

This sounds like an interesting movie. But why is she wearing the face shield from a martial arts sparring helmet in the lead photo? Is it meant to be like a muzzle to keep her from biting people?

I remember Earth 2! I don’t think I watched much of it, though, if there even was much to see.

Eh, Mads has, like, Resting Insincere Face. Something about the way his face is shaped makes it look like he’s lying to you.

It should be. The history of that clause is really terrible. If you don’t know, look up chain gangs.

In the United States, your rights are immutable. The Constitution applies just as much to Charles Manson and Ted Kazinsky as it does to you and me. Dangerous criminals need to be kept apart from society, but they are still American citizens and deserve fair (albeit confined) treatment as such.

Eh, if it’s a choice between Jill Stein and stay home, she should vote Stein. Especially if you guys don’t live in a swing state.

Yeah, the right has been calling her a cold bitch, too political, etc since Bill got elected and they realized she wasn’t just decoration. 24 years of that same narrative creates an image in people’s minds, unfortunately.

At very least, go vote third party, which at least will send a message. The only message staying home sends is that you don’t care who wins.

There are probably also some conservatives that are similarly on the Trump vs Gary Johnson vs stay home fence. But yeah, I doubt there are many at this point that are torn between Clinton & Trump.

Also, anyway, ISIS supposedly gets most of their money from robbery, not oil.

Right, when he was talking about penalizing companies who outsource their manufacturing to factories in the developing world, my immediate response was - “like yours?”. (Also, I don’t think he knows what VAT is - he seemed to think it’s a tariff.)

They don’t need to understand the technical details of how hacking and cybersecurity work, but they do need at have at least a basic understanding of the issue.

It’s definitely not the only language with that kind of writing system, yeah.
