2016 USA Presidential election thread II: And. Here. We. Go!

[Byrthnoth]

If we are going to elect a 68+ year old person, I at least want them to be one of the healthy few.

Which is solved by simply having a physician clear their health. Medical records should stay sealed.

Man Colin Powell's emails are great. I wonder if someone can get him to read out loud the one where he talks about Bill Clinton "dicking bimbos". (his words)

Yeah but did you die?

We did a fucking hour long meeting with the President, the COO, the CNO, the hospital chief financial officer talking about how nursing, being on the front lines, need to do our best to improve HCHAPS surveys because it's tied to reimbursement rate. They could lose something like 2% of the medicaid reimbursement if the scores aren't up to snuff. And I'm pretty fucking sure the amount of money they are spending in all this useless fucking training is damn close to the 2% they risk losing. Then, they informed us that we'd get no raises, despite having performance evaluations just a month ago.

I wanted to play that video....so fucking bad....

Because Trump won't release his taxes

Vice News has filed a Freedom of Information request with the IRS.

The only health issues I'm concerned with are degenerative neurological things. The presidency is 100% about making decisions, and anything that impairs your ability to make decisions makes you a liability. As far as I'm aware, the only president to have ever had neurological problems during their presidency was Reagan during the latter years. He was the one where his wife and some crazy tarot card reader were essentially running the country because he could no longer function, yeah?

The full quote on that one is fucking amazing.

"I would rather not have to vote for her, although she is a friend I respect. A 70-year person with a long track record, unbridled ambition, greedy, not transformational, with a husband still dicking bimbos at home (according to the NYP)."

FDR? Seriously...

I wonder what it would be like if senor Jeb!™ was with us right now.

In his upcoming appearance on “The Dr. Oz Show,” which airs Thursday, the Republican presidential nominee reportedly said he kisses Ivanka “as often as I can.”

FDR? Seriously...

Polio is primarily physical symptoms (paralysis, fatigue, etc). According to Mayo clinic's website, neurological symptoms can manifest decades later. I'm not aware of any documented problems with FDR's memory or concentration.

I pretty much totally agree - which is why I kinda roll my eyes at people feigning outrage that she didn't disclose her pneumonia earlier. Who gives a shit about pneumonia really? It's not like it's going to last until January 20th...

Yall are forgetting about Jim Webb. Why does everyone forget about Jim Webb?!

[Blubbartron]

Jesus Zealot, that picture is just as disingenuous as when people were claiming Hillary is more honest than Bernie. Hitting him multiple times for the same thing to make it look like he's so terrible. So what if he discussed that he had a classified briefing and the people who gave him the brief? Did he reveal any classified information *at all*? No? Then who gives a shit.

And frankly, I'd prefer someone who is at least on civil terms with another nuclear power in the world, as opposed to our current administration (and our media) which seems to be preparing people for Cold War part 2 or WW3 with Russia and the Middle East. Every single night on the news, for the past week and a half, they've slipped the phrase "Russian hackers" or "Russian cyber terrorists" into their reporting without a lick of evidence that it's actually the sovereign nation of Russia ordering and conducting these hacks.

Trump is a shit candidate, but you don't have to make shit up about him to point it out. The only reason to do shit like that picture did is to try and make it seem like he's a bigger mountain of shit than Hillary, which is sadly far from true.

[kisada]

so what? it's that trying to politicize something that is considered strictly non-political and off limits for decades by lying about it and/or completely misrepresenting it for selfish gains lends even more credence to the fact that he is unfit to be a president.

that's pretty fucking blatantly obvious

[Zealot]

Not going to use any sarcasm here. The picture illustrates how much there is to go after Trump for in any given week, but Hillary is the one who has her campaign labeled a disaster. The image is meant to reflect the disingenuous nature of our political reporting this cycle.

I literally have to go out of my way to find anyone saying anything good about trump, both from people and media, I dont know why its recently been made to seem like the media is being any more unfair to her, I just dont see it. I can go to any given "neutral" website like right now and probably see horrible things about both of them in the headlines and to be honest I will be surprised if I find more negative articles about Hillary on their front page.

I agree with the sentiment that he is totally a bigger piece of shit, but blaming media bias against Hillary is quickly becoming a pet peeve of mine. I think it's the reaction of the people to each "scandal" or whatever from each campaign that is vastly different. For whatever reason people just seem "meh, whatever, nothing new" about Trump but people really have a reaction to whatever the current Hillary scandal is. I dont know why, is it her gender? Does no one take him or his bs seriously?

Here's a Nate Silver tweetstorm that might help: https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/st...09939537178624

Maybe it's just really difficult to find good things to say about Trump.
