Re: Campaign 2016 Part XIX: Escape from the Planet of Debates

When I found out what they actually were, I said a silent thank you to the universe for the fact I was born long enough ago that I did not need to be protected against the possibility that someone, somewhere, may say something, that I might find upsetting. Good God are we effed as a society.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words now come with mandatory "trigger warnings". If you feel triggered please proceed to the nearest "safe space" know there are resources to help you.

That would be the comments section?

The big, bad EPA shut off 40% of the electricity in the country? Must have missed that. Or you're a whiny, hysterical crybaby. There's really no way of knowing which it is though.

You have. You missed what the CPP will do to 40% of US electricity generation (coal).

When you're on a board of directors that has to figure out how to replace that (effectively) lost generation asset while still paying the outstanding mortgage on the asset because of its forced early retirement, and then build a completely new generation facility (a large new mortgage), and still keep the lights on, you'll understand.

Until then, keep with the name calling. It's cute. It suits you.

On this fact checking deal, will there be any sort of system, like maybe some type of emoji scale, to rank or separate out the lies from the ****ed lies, and the statistics?

Where does misspelling a name come in on that hierarchy?

C'mon Hofstra, you can't "fact check" the spelling of a name, and you (jack)boot Jill from campus?

You have.

That's really going to hurt the debate ratings if 2 out of every 5 houses doesn't have electricity tonight. You'd really think someone would have mentioned something like that.

Whoever approved the printer proof of that ticket needs to be fired.

Pretty much.

Trump danced around the direct question from Holt, Holt tried again and he still danced.

That's not how the right will spin it. They will say that his interruptions and howling are "the mark of a true, decisive leader."

If rates went up the economy would fail. The Fed is obviously political for not raising the rates.

Wait... what?

And the widows who depended on savings interest rates got the shaft.

And the widows who depended on savings interest rates got the shaft.

When most people have less than 10,000 in retirement savings, interest rates don't matter.
