SE Hoya Containment Thread (aka Politics) - Page 1965 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

I always really hated the word "******". Would bristle at its use--needlessly cruel and pejoratively the product of a sick or warped mind. I called people out for it and publicly humiliated them--felt I OWED it to them! Thought it might help them be a better person instead of a walking talking pile of pig ****.

Then I started driving in the South after living in NY. Currently convinced it's a worthy exception similar to the pronoun for a "female canine".

Holiday you have an incredible way with words. It reminds me of that Michelle Obama quote, "When they go low, we go high...unless it's difficult, or we just don't want to. In that case, **** 'em."

But that literally failed.

I guess, but context (and sample size) matters tho. We get this outcome a really small amount of the time.

It seems more likely that we win if Hillary visits MI or WI once rather than if she calls Trump a "Fat ****" during the debate, but I suppose they aren't mutually exclusive.

The funny thing is Rump literally ended the second debate saying how much he admired Hillary’s strength

But ya, she didn’t lose cuz she didn’t play in the mud (cuz she most certainly did, she was just bad at it), she lost cuz she was the worst. Michelle’s message didn’t fail

Some exclusive news: Twitter banned over 5,000 bot accounts this weekend tweeting about how “Russiagate” is a hoax.

The botnet has ties to... a rebranded pro-Saudi social media operation.

Quote:

Jared Kushner downplaying Russian interference as "a few Facebook ads" is a pretty standard blog talking point for the right.

In reality, the troll farm spent $1.25 million per month illegally boosting one candidate

Beyond bringing in Mueller, Barr + McGahn, House committees plan to investigate Trump’s finances, Russian aggression, meddling in U.S. elections + the natl security ramifications of Trump's conduct, per a source on House Dems' conference call last night.

"Whether it’s articles of impeachment or investigations, it’s the same obtaining of facts," Pelosi told Dems last night re: House committees' agenda post-Mueller report. "We don’t have to go to articles of impeachment to obtain the facts, the presentation of facts.”

If you're talking about the 2016 Presidential campaign, 5 billion dollars was spent total. Puts the 1.25 million a month in perspective.

Oh sure it sounds like a lot of money when you talk about it as "5 billion dollars", but how much is that per month?

Twitter can't use AI to ban White Supremacy because Republicans would get caught too.

We've all been wondering when AI would get so good it would do it's job without making mistakes. Apparently, today's the day.

Trump spent a significant amount of time during the meeting complaining about losing followers, according to the Washington Post, which Dorsey explained was due to Twitter's routine deletion of fake bot accounts.

Just constant self ownage.

The same algorithms ding legitimate Arabic-language news sources when employed against ISIS. What they are really saying is that they are okay if the collateral damage is presumably brown people in a foreign land but not if it is powerful white people who can make things difficult for the company in America.

I'd be fine if they exempted political officeholders in efforts to block white nationalism.

The president is re-enacting the terrorist massacre in France, making a shooting gesture with his hand. "Get over here! Boom. Get over here! Boom. And then they left."

Corey Booker is such a shyster politician who will go down in flames. I'm guessing those endorsements will shift to an established political face like Biden when it happens.

Biden I understand, but names like Klobuchar are strange. Realizing full well this comment could age like milk, I have zero idea what her path to victory is.

She's not nearly as progressive as Warren/Sanders, she's not nearly as popular as Biden, and she's not nearly as "fresh" as Beto, Harris, and Pete.

What is her angle?

That's Pete now. She didn't know that at the time ofc though. She should really just drop now but I guess she'll probably want to wait till after whatever first debate stage of things.

That 538 points thing from endorsements is so dumb. 10 points for Mondale, lmao. Like hell no. They're basically all worthless, nobody cares.
