As the aides agonized over which words to feed into the teleprompter, they become so engrossed that a hot light set up next to the machine caused Mr. Bannon’s Kuhl hiking pants to begin smoldering.

“I think my pant leg is on fire,” he said after noticing the acrid smell.

Liar, Liar.

I'm going to be lurking /r/the_donald on Wednesday, just drinking in the epic meltdowns. I cannot wait. All those confident morons, having to finally came me to grips with their god-emperor losing, it's going to be so fucking sweet.

 

[pixelation]

Scared for the results of this election... dang scared.

Well his buddy Putin showed up at a rally yesterday to endorse him. Gives credit to the whole working for the russians scenario.

Yup, looking forward to a tasteful mix of RIGGED, hatemongering, calls for violence, bald racism/sexism, and of course, a few million dashes of salt. Delish

Trump is interesting in that he doesn't only have very little self-awareness, but he actively avoids trying to analyse why he does what he does, or why he feels about things the way he does.

It's actually really depressing. I wouldn't want to live that way. Trump most definitely has stuff buried inside him that made him who he is. But he'll never face it. He may well be unable.

He's the man whose life is unexamined. Socrates said a life like that is not worth living.

I saw this video a few years ago showing he had some self-awareness, talking about Citizen Kane but also making some comments that show how he feels about himself

holy shit this is the same guy? he sounds completely sane in this video.

 

[Aarglefarg]

holy shit this is the same guy? he sounds completely sane in this video.

Then he transformed into his current state right before the final question:
Interviewer: "Now if you could give Charles Foster Kane advice, what would you say to him?"
Trump: "Get yourself a different woman"

 

[Torokil]

I cannot wait for his inevitable tantrum when he loses.

Trumps a manchild, but he's not gonna do this. He'll make a prebaked concesion speech and then a few shitposts on Twitter.

By next Friday he'll be doing nonstop tweeting about Trump TV.

 

[JordanN]

That's the creepiest Pepe ever lmao

I saw an even rarer Pepe.

There's nothing Ivanka can do beyond dropping the "Trump" name from the brand and just calling it "Clothes by Ivanka" or something. The Trump name is basically poison for her now.

 

[Alcotholic]

I'm curious about her real thoughts. I have the feeling that she doesnt actually agree with what he says and only supports hin, because he is her father.

 

[shadow_shogun]

Something tells me we're in the alternate timeline where he wins.

 

[RuGalz]

sounds to me like he's having a withdraw from having his Twitter access taken away.

 

[gabbo]

Odds of him tweeting out something bombastic with the n-word in it if he loses, assuming he doesn't live tweet and then call his own win several hours too early?

 

[Monocle]

Maybe he'll tweet about sniggering at the niggardly naggers who niggle him on social media.

 

[norinrad]

Good. Crush this man's ego. To watch him fall on Tuesday is going to be the best day of my life in quite a long time.

Yeah, I hate this man.

I wouldn't celebrate yet, we could all be waking up to a president Trump. W was voted twice into office. We all need to calm down and wait for the results, hoping people did the right thing.

 

[LincolnSixEcho]

I get the same vibes as well. Compared to the rest of the family, she still seems a classy lady to me.

 

[outunderthestars]

This shit right here. Vote. Call your friends. Make sure they vote. Offer to drive them to the damn polls if need be.

 

[Already Torn]

I mean I'm sure they all had terrible effed up childhoods based on what we've heard about Don Jr. They're all probably terrified of disobeying Dad.

 

[Opto]

Don't be complacent and do your job as a citizen, so that when he loses we can all swell with pride that we made a crush a racist fascist rapist's dreams and made him cry

This is so weird. It's like talking about this movie is the one thing that allows him to stop selling for a while, and that allows him to sound like an actual human being.

That's like Season 1 Trump. Now we're in Season 28, well past when Trump became a hyper caricature.

Hopefully Wednesday will be the greatest instance of collective schadenfreude in the 21st Century.

I want to see this man cry on live TV.

I don't think he can cry.

 

[cornerman]

Mmm-hm. "There are no American tanks in Baghdad," right?

The man can barely run his campaign and the GOP wants to put him in charge of the federal government. What a joke.

They think they can rein him in. He knows little and doesn't want to learn anything new, which means he's controllable in their eyes. He's a rubber stamp for their agenda. Remember all the stuff you hear from Trump is just the reverberations of the echo chamber the party created. He's reciting the garbage they handed their constituents for years; so they'll just give him new stuff.

 

[Rentahamster]

What is this about him no longer in control of his Twitter account? It's still tweeting stuff.

Odds of him tweeting out something bombastic with the n-word in it if he loses, assuming he doesn't live tweet and then call his own win several hours too early?

About the same chance as him calling Clinton a "bitch" or "cunt" during the debates as so many people legit thought he would: zero.

Hey, we got a nasty woman out of the deal.

How the hell did Pepe even become a thing? He's such a benign looking character to begin with, it's hard to comprehend that Pepe be the one that the alt-right movement latches onto. It could have been Garfield for all I know. I read that the creator, Matt Furie is trying to reclaim the character.

Perhaps, but still a far cry from gendered or racial slurs, I'd say.

iirc, Pepe was already a reaction face style meme, particularly on 4chan, for a long time, along with the "I know that feel" meme character he is often paired up with. Both are incredibly remixable and editable, and eventually their use just became so ubiquitous across all of 4chan's boards and hit a surge of popularity just as the alt-right crowd really came into being on /pol/.

That's my theory at least, a convergence of two memeic popularity spikes.

 

[Rentahamster]

We do have an online resource for memes. It's the urban dictionary for a new generation.

Better Vote Trump.

 

[Kevtones]

But he is losing Nevada badly, he can't win without this state, even if he were to win Ohio and Florida.

You are part of the problem.





Everyone needs to vote.

How can they even get away with that? If they tried pulling this shit with Kermit the Frog or Bugs Bunny they would get a cease and desist injunction, wouldn't they?

There's actually a subreddit, /r/the_meltdown, for highlighting the saltiest, most insane posts on the_donald. It's already a fun read: should be amazing come Tuesday.

 

[Eusis]

Is there really a difference - do electors tend to go off script?

Well...

You weren't around for 2000 were you?

This. You could, in theory, have something like 65% of the country vote for one person and 35% for the other, but the other one wins because they just barely have the lead in the states with the most electoral votes, while dominating completely those that have fewer. You could have the entirety of California vote for Hillary (obviously not happening) and it won't matter if SLIGHTLY more vote Trump in Florida, Ohio, NC, and any other purple state.

[FO-totality]

How can they even get away with that? If they tried pulling this shit with Kermit the Frog or Bugs Bunny they would get a cease and desist injunction, wouldn't they?

Several reasons.

One, who are you gonna serve that C&D too? These are many, many anonymous online posters, remember, doing this en masse. I guess you could serve it to hiro (4chan's current owner) or serve a DMCA take-down request, but those take so much time, that I'd guess you'd never get whoever is behind 4chan staff-wise to capitulate to constantly patrol for use of your content. It also goes against 4chan's stated laissez-faire attitude towards posting and content, so they're must less likely to heed any C&D warning, imo. Your C&D idea might have more weight with sites with more regulating moderation and staff, like NeoGAF, but I have no idea.

Two, fair use. They're not making money (in theory) off them and are remixing them. They could probably argue fair use in a hypothetical court case.

Three, the original artist is really small time. He has neither the time nor resources to hypothetically patrol this, especially if the Henson Co./Warner Bros. really don't go after memeic remixes either.
