The Third & Final US Presidential Debate

This is all bollox when you think about it :pac:
Both parties are talking shi*e and trying to out-do each other. I get it, it's politics, it's a dirty game. But we might as well be listening to teenagers talking ****e at a podium.

super_furry · 20-10-2016 02:54AM

Hang on? Did he just claim that Obama and Hilary paid people to start riots at Trump rallies?

Nah, Clinton is nailing him to the wall brutally tonight - and giving decent answers too.

PARADISE, NV—Interrupted by an aide to the Republican nominee who strode up to his table during the third presidential debate Wednesday, moderator Chris Wallace is said to have received a cease-and-desist letter from the Trump Organization in the middle of asking Donald Trump to respond to allegations that he groped multiple women. “Are you Chris Wallace? This is for you,” said the Trump Organization representative, handing the Fox News host a letter from Trump’s lawyer Marc Kasowitz, which threatened legal action over “reckless, slanderous, and defamatory statements made by Chris Wallace at the presidential debate on October 19, 2016,” and stated that “the timing of these statements moments ago during a nationally televised broadcast makes it clear that this is a politically motivated attempt to harm Mr. Trump’s candidacy.” “If you fail to comply with this order, Mr. Wallace, we’ll have no choice but to sue. Good day.” The Trump Organization official reportedly rushed back onstage moments later after Wallace asked the GOP nominee how much federal income tax he has paid over the past 20 years, serving the moderator a restraining order that barred him from having any contact with Trump for the remainder of the debate.

Trump just said encouraging people to start fights is illegal. He just said what he spent much of the primaries doing on camera... is illegal.

But that's just subjective. A trump supporter will say he had her on the ropes.

For the record I ain't saying that. It's just you know yourself.

Those stories have been largely debunked.

Ya one of Bill and Hilary's friends was video taped paying people to start fights at rallies.

Story broke today.

Emails?? Is he serious?? Worse deflection ever

Enzokk · 20-10-2016 02:57AM

That sniff....he does it just before he thinks he will make a great point. It came out now before the emails comment.

super_furry · 20-10-2016 02:58AM

"Donald, you have been accused of sexually assaulting women."

"Nobody has more respect for women than me. They made it up and she had emails. EMAILS."

That line of Trump's about "how I run my company" is going to be used in ads against him. His entire brand is currently tanking badly.

I assume he means he's going to bankrupt the country four times and goose the receptionist.

Nope, not even nearly. Hence the Politico Tweets I'm half spamming the thread with. This is utterly brutal.

As I say this "nobody has more respect for women than I do" to an audible groan from the crowd that Wallace has to silence.

This is absolutely brutal.

Arghus · 20-10-2016 03:00AM

Trump is losing his cool here. Hillary is beating him like eggs in a bowl.

Is this a Democrat mouthpiece?

She said she supports partial birth abortions plenty of time and fetus has no rights.

~Rebel~ · 20-10-2016 03:00AM

She's doing a good job of just sticking to his character. Prodding and poking at his temperament.

Overheal · 20-10-2016 03:00AM

Digging himself that hole with that rally violence accusation.

Billy86 · 20-10-2016 03:00AM

EMAILS! PRISON!! BUT BUT BUT... HILLARY!!!

That was the time to bring up how Clinton has attacked her hubby's mistresses.

Nope, it's a nonpartisan fact checking website just like Snopes.

She doesn't support last day abortions, which Trumps "rip it out" comment was about.

How long before Clinton has an ad with Trump repeating "nobody has more respect for women than I do" and his comments on the bus with Billy Bush.

If she's implicated as approving this.....makes her unfit for office

No fan of trump.....but she's not better....only saving grace is an interest in taxing people fairly

super_furry · 20-10-2016 03:02AM

Think she stumbled for the first time there, but Donald was there to make her look better.

"These are people that push gays off buildings." He could try and not look happy about the prospect when he says it.

University of Minnesota political science professor Eric Ostermeier did an analysis of 511 selected PolitiFact stories issued from January 2010 through January 2011, stating that "PolitiFact has generally devoted an equal amount of time analyzing Republicans (191 statements, 50.4 percent) as they have Democrats (179 stories, 47.2 percent)". Republican officeholders were considered by Politifact to have made substantially more "false" or "pants on fire" statements than their Democratic counterparts. Of 98 statements PolitiFact judged "false" or "pants on fire" from partisan political figures, 74 came from Republicans (76 percent) compared to 22 from Democrats (22 percent) during the selected period reviewed. Ostermeier concluded "By levying 23 Pants on Fire ratings to Republicans over the past year compared to just 4 to Democrats, it appears the sport of choice is game hunting — and the game is elephants."[29] The study was criticized by PolitiFact editor Bill Adair and the MinnPost, with Adair responding, "Eric Ostermeier's study is particularly timely because we've heard a lot of charges this week that we are biased—from liberals […] So we're accustomed to hearing strong reactions from people on both ends of the political spectrum. We are a news organization and we choose which facts to check based on news judgment."[30]
A writer with the left-leaning magazine The Nation argued that findings like this are a reflection of "fact-checkers simply doing their job […] Republicans today just happen to be more egregiously wrong".[31] A writer with the right-leaning Human Events claimed that after looking at Politifact's work on a case-by-case basis a pattern emerged whereby Politifact critiqued straw man claims; that is, "dismissed the speaker’s claim, made up a different claim and checked that instead". The conservative magazine noted Politifact's use of language such as "[although the speaker] used [a specific] phrase […] in his claim, [it] could fairly be interpreted to mean [something more general that is false]". Human Events cited Bryan White's PolitiFactBias blog to state that "from the end of that partnership [with the Congressional Quarterly] to the end of 2011, the national PolitiFact operation has issued 119 Pants on Fire ratings for Republican or conservative claims, and only 13 for liberal or Democratic claims".[32]

Jeez, the saddest version of a woman versus the most pathetic version of a man. It's not worth discussing. They embarrass me and they embarrass you

Billy86 · 20-10-2016 03:03AM

I can't help but notice that Trump has been writing notes for a change in this debate... is he just writing "wrong" and "disaster" over and over again?
