That was supposed to be am I stupid but the typo was funny so I'll allow it.

 

[Emarv]

You guys are right. I'm diablosing.

I'm just getting jittery and anxious. I need my VP pick already!

 

[metalslimer]

Okay then. So we go from waiting for an official tweet to watching tonight for logistical clues and personnel movements. No biggie.

Yeah we'll see when Kaine catches a flight tonight

 

[Iolo]

At this rate there are going to be 5 total days of campaigning until November.

Oh boy. All lives matter march and prayer vigil in sc lol

Obviously, until the situation in Munich is clarified it will dominate the news.

 

[watershed]

It's Kaine. I have no doubt now.

 

[Paskil]

Damn, I am depressed now. I mean, the Germany thing is obviously awful and depressing on its own, and I'm probably selfish monster for hoping she would still announce, but...

 

[User 463088]

You delay for no other reason than Trump did. You give no one ammo.

 

[VRMN]

Yeah, that's been my thought on it all afternoon, that Trump's camp would attack for timing.

 

[Iolo]

Better hope nothing else happens in the world between now and Monday.

 

[Slayven]

REVOLUTION! (She's not a direct descendant of the Electress of Hanover so doesn't count - but her children do).

Never say never

 

[Spoiled Milk]

Too soon, dude.

 

[VRMN]

I don't think the delay would have happened if Trump hadn't pushed his back, even if it's unlikely it was actually about Nice.

 

[User 463088]

Also Hillary should wear green more often.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

You delay for no other reason than Trump did. You give no one ammo.

That.... is fair.

Yea... fuck buses! Wait, what?

 

[Bowdz]

This may sounds callous, but we shouldn't be basing our political moves based off of foreign events. It's one thing if it is a terror attack on our soil, but shit goes down around the globe EVERY DAY. We shouldn't shape our lives around terror attacks globallyor else we will give in to terror and never get anything done.

Spoiler

I know that the political optics dictate that this pushed back.

Decision not coming apparently because of Munich

https://twitter.com/AlGiordano/status/756589542824562688?ref_src=twsrc^tfw

Not to be insensitive but I wonder how many fucked up things are going on in Africa or South America or wherever that we aren't stopping everything in our lives over. Like what's going on in Munich sounds awful but I have no idea what makes it so bad that our politics have to grind to a stop. Gives more credence than warranted to "the World is a hellscape" point of view.

I can see where you're coming from. I honestly think this has more to do with Trump delaying his announcement after the Nice attack than it does with the Munich attack. Hillary and her team don't want to give him any ammo.

 

[Aaron Strife]

Yep

God forbid something happens next week

DNC delayed because of terrorist attack

First presidential debate delayed because of mass shooting

Presidential election delayed because polls show Trump leading

 

[User 463088]

I mean I get what you're saying but this is not an act of governance. It's political theater. There is no risk or damage to delay by a day. The media is not going to stop everything and focus on Tim Kaine. You play prevent defense. You give no one ammo to say look how power hungry that woman is. You hold on until tomorrow when this is in Germany will be more settled.

 

[Cesare Borgia]

Those email leaks are ugly. They also give you a pretty good glimpse into how narratives are manufactured and the role liberal/conservative media plays in peddling the message.

Yeah I completely understand the sentiment, but I don't like the idea that these assjacks can alter things going on here at home.

 

[Iolo]

It would be interesting if Wikileaks would leak some juicy internal Russian stuff, but they won't, since they are an agent of the Russian government.

 

[The Lamonster]

We've established precedence for permanent paralysis over news-worthy tragedies.

I was just thinking this. It's never going to stop, at least not anytime soon. It's almost like the old cliche - delaying shit means the terrorists have won.

the released the emails on a friday, during a terrorist attack?

Will anyone care come monday?

Clinton +3 in the Reuters/Ipsos poll.

Moody's analytics predicts a Clinton win.

NBC is still playing along like the announcement is still on.. very odd.

Reuters-Ipsos is the noisiest poll. 12 point shift in one week.

There is no way that Trump was down 15 last week and is now down 3

It seems like they're saving some to release at random times.

 

[Boke1879]

This attack, along with VP announcement and DNC next week means this probably gets little coverage.

Trump may mention it, but isn't this stuff he's been saying? It's not anything new really.

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

Reuters-Ipsos is the noisiest poll. 12 point shift in one week.

Something happened with who they were polling, since Obama's approval shifted from: (A51 /D45) to (A44/49). Making them join YouGov/Economist (who has never had Obama positive and as negative as -11 in late june) and Rasmussen to poll negatively for Obama.

Surprise: The Washington Post will not endorse Trump under any circumstances.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...d823cc-4f4f-11e6-aa14-e0c1087f7583_story.html

DONALD J. TRUMP, until now a Republican problem, this week became a challenge the nation must confront and overcome. The real estate tycoon is uniquely unqualified to serve as president, in experience and temperament. He is mounting a campaign of snarl and sneer, not substance. To the extent he has views, they are wrong in their diagnosis of America’s problems and dangerous in their proposed solutions. Mr. Trump’s politics of denigration and division could strain the bonds that have held a diverse nation together. His contempt for constitutional norms might reveal the nation’s two-century-old experiment in checks and balances to be more fragile than we knew.

Has WikiLeaks ever revealed any information about the assassinations of journalists in Russia or anything unflattering about Russia or Putin? Same with Snowden.
