Samantha Bee Has the Best Commentary on Debate 3: The Good, the Bad, the Nasty

Our media are so punch drunk they no longer notice how awful he is

I’ve been waiting for Samantha Bee to put the third presidential debate through her comedy grinder, in part because so much of the media’s commentary on it was absurdly forgiving of Donald Trump’s ridiculous horribleness. And she does not disappoint.

(Both parts of her segment on the debate are included in the playlist above.)

As is John Oliver.

Also, watching the video, the “no puppet, no puppet… you’re the puppet!” line is just fucking amazing. Oh, and I just realized Chris Wallace had to get his attention halfway through the question on accepting the results of the election with a “sir”… it’s like trying to train a dog “sit, sit… donny… sit.”

I use Google News to get links to many news articles. What is interesting today, and yesterday, is that the “Top Stories” section has few election stories.

Now, I realize that Google tries to be really smart and shape the news feeds to my preferences, but after months of articles about Drumpfskind, and less so Clinton, or this or that election issue, now all of a sudden the stories are other news - e.g. right now the big headline is the VW deal.

A couple of the “Top Stories” on the summary page are about Drumpfskind, but that is fewer than what I am used to.

(I have customized sections for “Elections” and “Donald Trump” so I can click on those for many headlines.)

Same on Facebook, btw. The trending stories on my display are mostly not election related.

Maybe Americans’ interests are now over the election? Have we, as a group, already accepted Clinton as the winner and now we are bored and want something different?

Some of them may even be quite fine with discriminating based on skin color. Heck, at least one of his supporters on my Facebook wall is apparently one of those pro-Crusades folk.

It’s an attempt to sway anti-Castro sentiment. Nothing more. For most Americans, this just doesn’t resonate.

Of course, most Americans are intrigued by the ability to quaff Cuban rum and smoke Cuban cigars since they’ve been hyped for decades due to the embargo.

TBH, I’m kind of surprised there haven’t been any by now. Reported attacks, that is: Iran isn’t the most open country for press reporting; so unless an attack was pulled off, say, right in the middle of Tehran in broad daylight with massive damage/casualties, it might be easy to cover up.

But then again, Iran also is a country with quite different notions of how to best maintain “internal security”….

re: #36 MsJ

As I’ve been noting, this is a metric without context.

For instance, in most northeastern states, the increases are actually low single digits because the marketplaces there are larger and more stable. The ones where the increases are greatest are where there isn’t competition in the marketplaces, where the states didn’t expand Medicare, and where the GOP has generally opposed Obamacare all along.

Other factors? Insurers putting profits over all else (including on getting out of certain state marketplaces if the feds don’t approve corporate mergers to maximize profits).

Charles Gaba has much much much more on the subject, including the notion of weighted averages, and what this all means and why there are steep increases.

Trump Adviser: There’s No anti-Semitic Sentiment Among Trump Supporters

Donald Trump’s adviser David Friedman said Tuesday that there was no anti-Semitic sentiment among the Republican candidate’s supporters, days after a study by the Anti-Defamation League credited them with the lion’s share of anti-Semitic abuse of journalists on Twitter.

Plus I can’t imagine a devastating attack in Tehran and the consequences it would have for Iran’s Sunni minority. You know they would cop the most amount of backlash that would make the Western anti-Muslim backlash look like a picnic in the park.

Does everyone in the media have amnesia? Annual health insurance rate increases of 10% or more were routine before Obamacare was enacted.

So any intelligent reporting should compare the real numbers before and after the ACA, on a state by state basis, as opposed to mindless stuff like “double digit rate increases ==> ACA is a disaster”.

I don’t think so. They’re too busy trying to gain (and hold) territory in Syria and Iraq. In that regard, they are acting more like a traditional state than a non-state actor. But an attack in Iran would only serve to give Iran a basis to step up its efforts against ISIL in Iraq and Syria. So there’s no strategic advantage to doing so, at least at this time.

Of course, it’s entirely possible that they act in a non-rational way in the midst of a war, we’ve seen that plenty of times in history. Like when Napoleon and Hitler tried to take Moscow during the winter; or Imperial Japan deciding to bomb Pearl Harbor; or a few other examples of states trying to fight two front wars.

Annual health increases have been occurring long before the ACA was enacted. The reason we know what rates are being hiked in the marketplaces is because this is public information. We don’t get that level of knowledge of the employer-insurance policies because that’s not generated in the same way. So, it’s harder to find out what employer policies are doing.

I know what my company has done - and it’s a double digit hike. They’ve got some excuses on why the rates are higher: several years of below average (compared to comparable sized companies) increases, plus higher than expected usage. They’re also continuing to shift burdens.

This is a trend that continues, and the insurance companies are doing whatever they think they can get away with it because ultimately they have to answer to shareholders.

Hafta go back and read the rest of the thread, as time allows, but wanted to drop this off for your amusement, before I drop the ballots into the nearest convenient box.

The Arapahoe County (CO) mail ballots include a full list of voting locations and drop-off boxes inside the envelope. On the outside, they’re plugging a handy feature called “Ballot Track” that lets you track your ballot online and sign up for free messages by email, phone or text when the ballot is mailed to you, and received for counting.

It also includes this note:
“Vote Early! Return your ballot before Election Day and enjoy a quieter election season. As soon as we receive your ballot, your name can be removed from campaign lists.”

This is a R-leaning county that we managed to swing blue for Obama in 2012. Hoping to improve on that performance this year.

Sanford. Gee, why does that town ring a bell. Oh wait. Trayvon Martin comes to mind. Also, a long history of racial discrimination.

So no, African Americans wont be voting Trump. They know all too well what Trump means and represents.

Ironically, Sanford is named for Henry Shelton Sanford who was hired by King Leopold II to lobby European leaders for acceptance of Belgian control over the Congo. That didn’t turn out too well.

Today’s GOP:

GOP Senator On Climate Change: ‘Civilization Thrives’ In Warm Weather!

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), who is engaged in a tough re-election fight against former Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI), said Monday that he is not concerned about climate change because “civilization thrives” in warm climates.

During an interview on Wisconsin radio station WHBY highlighted by the Huffington Post, the Republican senator said the climate was warmer during the “rise of civilizations in Mexico and Greece.” He then pivoted to note that people enjoy living in places like Florida and Texas.

“How many people are moving up toward the Antarctica, or the Arctic? Most people move down to Texas and Florida, where it’s a little bit warmer,” he said.

From electoral-vote.com the democrats have a teeny, tiny advantage in the GOTV effort.

The Democrats have 5,100 paid staffers in the battleground states. The Republicans have 1,400.

(And some select battle-ground states)

Add to this the unpaid volunteers and the Democratic party has a massive advantage.

Also….having 230 workers in New Hampshire, which has a massive 4 electoral votes, when Arizona with 11 electoral votes has only 11 Republican staffers is a great example of ineptitude of the Trump campaign.

Many of us here have lamented over junk TV hiding under the guise of educational television, e.g., the History channel and aliens, and my favorite of NatGeo now being a Murdoch outlet.

Anyway, another one of these TV-for-idiots is what the “Science” channel has become. WaPo notices:

The Bermuda Triangle mystery isn’t solved, and this scientist didn’t suggest it was

A Science Channel show is making waves about the Bermuda Triangle this week. It appears to have claimed that the mystery of the region is solved — except that’s not at all what the scientist interviewed intended.

The “What on Earth” segment portrays Randall Cerveny, director of the meteorology department at Arizona State University, as having discovered the secret to the mysterious disappearances, sinkings and crashes that have occurred in the famous region east of the Bahamas. Or at least, he appears to think he has the answer, when in reality he has no interest in anything having to do with the Bermuda Triangle.

“The editing on this was horrendous,” Cerveny told The Washington Post. “I was really upset when I saw this.”

I’m sure that the lack of pushing a ground game in Arizona is due to to the Trump campaign’s thinking - if that word can even be applied to such a buffoon circus - that AZ was so “red”, and such a lock (after all, Sheriff Joe Arpaio is a big Trump booster!) that few “national” resources need have been allocated: probably expecting that the local GOP machine and the reliable retired-bigot vote would do the job for them.

Certainly. As I noted, “Hispanic” comes from the word “Hispania”.

If someone grew up in a culture in which Spanish is the first language, the label “hispanic” fits well.

I’ve known Puerto Ricans who were blonde. They are labeled hispanic because they come from a culture in which their Spanish ancestry was significant.

RCP finally turns Minnesota blue:

Pushes Hillary over 270.

RCP has a POV.

re: #182 Sir John Barron

Has there always been early-voting? I don’t recall it growing up in NJ.

Differing states. Alabama still doesn’t have “early” or “mail” as distinct from excused “absentee”.

What a shame about James Woods. I saw him in El Salvador and his voice over as Hades in Disney’s Hercules was funny as hell.

Yeah, in Maryland, early voting starts Thursday. And I intend to be in line bright and early.

Wiki says no. Started in places in 1992.

Yeah, he’s been good in a number of movies. I liked him in Nixon as well. Guess he’s done a few Oliver Stone movies.

The Cook Report:

cookpolitical.com

claims 201 House seats are solid Republican. That means the GOP just needs 16 seats out of the 57 that are in the “lean” “likely” or “toss up” categories, in order to retain the House.

Even if Hillary is elected President, the House under Republican control will not only block any initiative from the Administration, but I suspect will run a continual set of investigations into Hillary and her appointees (at least, of the ones who can make it through the cloture votes in the Senate.)

re: #159 freetoken

Certainly. As I noted, “Hispanic” comes from the word “Hispania”.

If someone grew up in a culture in which Spanish is the first language, the label “hispanic” fits well.

I’ve known Puerto Ricans who were blonde. They are labeled hispanic because they come from a culture in which their Spanish ancestry was significant.

Hispanic (includes Spain, excludes Brazil) and Latino (includes Brazil, excludes Spain) are ethnicities rather than races. That’s why J-Lo, David Ortiz, and George Lopez all qualify as both, even though they each look very different. It confuses the hell out of people who haven’t spent a lot of time with the social sciences.

I remember it well. I probably indulged in it a time or two, to varying degrees.

For someone so aware of our vast and powerful conspiracy, he sure is being bold. Maybe he finally recognizes that no one will give a shit when he “disappears.”
(Wait - does our conspiracy “disappear” people of just mock them? I get confused sometimes.)

The website affiliated with that group is a bunch of nutters. See my posts immediately above. And nuts is being charitable.

I wonder how it is that the Secret Service isn’t really concerned about those people. I can see Trump’s people being stupid enough to have them there, but I can’t see the Secret Service allowing those kinds of nutters that close.

Charles, I was just able to see a private comment without being logged in.

I was logged in on my laptop but not my phone. I clicked on the button while on my phone and the comment became visible.

It may have been because I was originally logged in on my phone, then logged in while on my laptop. The check for login may have delayed long enough for me to read the private comment. Just a guess.
