They still haven't proved he died at that moment. Why do you think every person that carried out the operation was killed?

Wow. That's just stunning.

I really don't know how to answer that.

That level of conspiracy theory is just amazing.

Again, I have a glass belly button for you. Will come in very handy to see out.

Funny think is that NOBODY REMEMBERS Bin Laden. Ever. What's up with that?

She was there, too. And given her position, HER people were directly involved with that, too.

Why do we focus on failures and forget successes?

People remember the bad things much easier than we remember the good things, and that holds for all of like not just politics.

Because failures are spectacular. Some "tragedy" then occurs which brings out people like me. Plus anger sells on TV/radio.

Tonight HRC makes her case on why she should be president. How she sells herself will be a large part on how the undecideds will view her.

As much as the positives are nice, you can only improve with the negatives.

Over the course of an hour, Trump answered only eight questions, including “What role should NASA play in helping to Make America Great Again?” (His response: “I think Nasa is wonderful!”) and “What is your plan for reducing or removing the influence of money on politics?” (“Keeping Crooked Hillary Clinton out of the White House!”).

t’s not that Trump managed to find the world’s most atypically respectful Redditors, though, as some people noticed right away that only certain users were allowed to ask questions and all others were deleted. NBC News reporter Benjy Sarlin explained on Twitter that the subreddit was “only allowing established supporters to participate,” with the page’s “pro-Trump mods” screening all of the questions beforehand.

One Twitter user noticed this firsthand when he tried asking Trump about his mysterious tax returns, only to realize that his account had been promptly banned:

...

The page’s mods later posted a message bragging about how they banned a total of 2,200 “shills”—which makes us wonder if that word now means the opposite of what it used to mean.

There are lots of cool psych studies that demonstrate that most people remember their failures and embarrassments both longer and with greater intensity than their triumphs.

The people who don't do this are probably sociopaths.

It makes sense. It's our brain's way of saying, "Hey, remember that time when we did that thing and it really sucked? Let's not do that again."

I think we do it as a way of getting ourselves to improve in life. Or we're just all naturally masochistic. Could be same-same.

Yes, I think it's the equivalent of pain when you do something that is damaging to your body. Since we don't get (direct) physical pain from making stupid decisions, we evolved psychic pain in the form of brutal humiliation.

It explains all of junior high school for starters.

I think this is changing. Six months ago I would have agreed with you. Now, I dunno... it seems like she's pulling out of the dive.

Kaine may have been a good choice after all. He's nice but he still gets right to the point in mocking Trump's vanity and defensiveness. I've only seen Warren be able to hit the jugular on the Tangerine Tyrant as effectively as Kaine did. And it lets Hillary stay above the fray.

By Autumn a lot of Republicans are going to wish their ticket was flipped.

That makes complete sense from a survival standpoint. But it doesn't explain why every dumb thing GOPers ever did would not warn them away from Trump.

Natural selection does not work for the benefit of the individual, it works for the survival of the species.

Republican party needs to ditch the faux outrage and back David Duke in his Senate bid. Really, if the dude tones down the anti-Semitism a smidgen tell me how he's any different than most GOP Senate nominees at this point in time?

I like the one person in the crowd at the DNC who has a cowbell, as you can always ever-so-slightly hear it during cheering or chanting.

So, once again boring ol' Hillary and the Dems are bringing in higher ratings than The Donald Trump Clown Show did last week. :D How is this possible when Trump was supposed to be a self promoting genius TV mogul who everybody was going to take the time to watch? :confused:
