Man, Glenn Greenwald has started to turn from someone who I respect into some of the worst aspects of BernieBro-ism where Hillary is portrayed as a secret neocon with no values. His tweets have started gone from legitimately interesting to something you'd find on r/Politics.

Are you kidding? Greenwald is extremely critical of US interventionism, of course he won't like Hillary. He's no different on her than he is with countless other politicians.
 
Hey guys,

I just wanted to say that I'm excited that we're finally at the start of this election season. It's been great and enlightening to be here with you all, even when we disagree. You've all made me much more informed and have done a great service.

Cheers to the greatest community on GAF! And go Trump!
Whatever, establishment sellout.

I think there is going to be a lot of butthurt tomorrow regardless.

Good luck to us all and may the odds be never in Cruz's favor.
 
I'm kind of curious how long the vilification and/or victim complexes are going to continue depending upon what happens tomorrow. Or rather I'm curious how long it's going to be incredibly tiresome to read a lot of threads.
 
:-(



Again -- I'm not surprised by his disagreement. I'm more taken by how that has shifted recently from what were well reasoned arguments to just vitriol.

I really see nothing different in how he talks about Clinton now than he before. Greenwald has always made his disdain clear. Looking through his twitter and I have no idea what you're talking about, especially with the Bernie Bro crap (it's sort of hilarious you using this line of attack when he just wrote an article about how dumb the term was).

I seriously recommend banning election threads. It seems like it will get pretty insane when it's down to just Hillary and Trump.

The best part of tomorrow is that no matter who wins, we're only talking about a few delegate difference most likely.

I just want it to be over quickly so r/Conspiracy can go back to being what it should be about, 9/11, hating Jews, and Lizard People.

Right now, it's just all about Hillary and e-mails!

Its just going to be the 2 conventions, debates and one general election thread. Oh wait you mean threads involving Hillary and Trump in any capacity unless its the former?

You are going to be waiting a long time for that... (maybe when we get brain implants/wearables like www.thync.com working and not shitty).

Aren't those three the same thing?

Forget all these profiles of Trump supporters, I would love to get a look into the mindset of the people who are continuing to contribute money to Right To Rise.



Yeah, this story's great (as everyone has said). And well-told, too :)

They are probably Barbara Bush's personal friends at this point. How can any of those people be happy with how things are going, not only from the standpoint of Bush's campaign but with how RtR is spending their money?

Right. A lot of people are genuinely fearful of the future and OT will be taken over by Cassandras when it's down to just Shillary and Hitler. Try to be magnanimous tomorrow!
 
Good.. You don't have none of that grape bullshit on your pizza. You are good people.

Oh god.. Why is it a thing.. Why god would you give people that inclination.. Why God?

Blame the greeks. Those fuckers put grapes on rice.

is what i'd like to say, because come year's end a very traditional plate here is greek rice, and that fucker takes carrots, herbs, and a truckload of raisins.

So i googled greek rice.

It doesn't take raisins. At all.

...how the fuck do brazilians come up with these things.

B-Dubs claimed that one. I have threads ready to go if he drops for some reason.

Right, we swapped. I gotta figure something out, maybe Smash? Depends on who drops I suppose.

I still wanna do a convention thread for Trump though, I've got the greatest idea ever.

I meant D NH. b-dubs is saturday for the R's. kingkitty can take thursday if he wants since he got next weeks and March. Probably the extra March, April and May debates too.

I'm talking about the Islamic State, Gretch. They formed their own cellophane. Do you think Obama has a strategy to neutralize them or will Obummer betray America like he did with Benghazi.
....
You told me not to think about dicks. So my brain got real bored and I started reading these websites. And then some OTHER websites that disagreed with the first websites.
*OOOH* did you know about "Glo-bal Warm-ing?" It's a HUGE threat, but at the same time is made up by a bunch of socialist libtards. My question is: who benefits? You have to follow the money, Gretch!

Big Oil. The Middle East. BENGHAZI!

Smash is one of the ones I have queued up. People asked for wrestling. But I have absolutely no wrestling knowledge.

How about...80s/90s action stars

Although if you do smash, do Melee. There's exactly enough characters for 17 Republicans, 7 Democrats (Mario fighters), and Ice Climbers for Barack and Michelle Obama.

I guess. I was reading his blog from time to time back in 2006 and then some when he moved to Salon in 07, and even back then I felt his arguments could get vitriolic. It was took much to take after a while so I stopped.
 
Much rather have Kamala Harris after she puts in some time in the senate.

I think Newsom inheriting a turned around CA from Brown and riding it for a few years would make him pretty formidable. There was alot about him that I really didn't care for having lived in SF through his reign, but he is a real charmer on the TV and his move on gay marriage can't be overstated in its effect of pushing things forward.

I'd rather get Harris in robes.

I forgot. I guess I'll play this one fast and loose. I'll figure it out after we see who drops.

Oooh.. I'll pass. The only thread I'll be doing is the SNL thing. I'm not a good OT maker (nowhere near the standards that our debate thread creators have set).

I'll do it. Its going to be the most fabulous generic thread you ever saw. Polar opposite of what b-dubs has planned for the RNC.

Actually, looking at this, ain't nobody giving money to RtR anymore.

They raised $15MM in the second HALF of the year, comprised of:
  • $10MM from Hank Greenberg, who is literally the definition of an ossified old douchebag
  • $1MM from an oil executive
  • $500M from the part owner of the SF Giants, because that team isn't trash enough already
  • $400M from Ray Hunt, basically Barbara Bush's secret lover
  • $300M from Rooney Holdings, which already gave $2MM in the first half of the year (blood from a stone)

This guy's fuckin' done.
 
Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont was asked on “Meet the Press” on Sunday whether his health care plan, which would raise taxes to pay for more government benefits, would create a problem for House Democrats running for re-election in 2016.

“I think in fact Hillary Clinton will be the problem,” Mr. Sanders said, arguing that only a candidate that has inspired a wave of enthusiasm among voters, as he believes he has, would draw the high turnout necessary to beat Republicans in November.
Ouch.

Newsom apparently is filthier than the floor at a brothel.
