She acquitted herself well, I think, and they all went after her hard. Pretty much what I expected, but it was good to see nonetheless.
Trump's act was all bluster, catch phrases and vacuous nonsense delivered nonstop. I grew up in New Jersey and I can recognize this kind of bullshit artist a mile away, but by now it should be obvious to everyone that there's no Great and Terrible Wizard.
Not officially. The Wednesday-dance party theme one got taken over for the occasion.
I didn't catch most of it b/c my 'puter can't keep up w/ Disqus, and I'd been out earlier, then making dinner barely able to hear the teevee.
I remember when I looked *forward* to watching these things! The contempt that the Donald's familiarity is breeding, now, exceeds any intrigue.
As much fun as that is, disqus can't handle all the video links that it automatically imbeds. One of the first features I stopped "reading" over there.
He spewed at his customary rate. His assertion that he has a secret plan to destroy ISIS but won't tell anybody what it is fills me with rage. Nixon did the same thing in 1968, and look how that turned out!
The worst humidity I've ever suffered through has been here in the desert. When it's as hot as it gets out here, and the monsoons roll in, it's gawdawful.

Chuck Todd I'm not sure either candidate can feel like they made progress tonight. Clinton was on the defensive and Trump lacked a lot of substance
Wil Wheaton Are you high, Chuck Todd? You're high, right? You must be high. Good for you, buddy. BLAZE IT CHUCK!
I can't not watch!
Hideous, yet I can't look away.
Matt Lauer, and we're starting off with the fucking emails. Fuck, we're never going to have an honest debate on genuine problems.
Clinton weak. Trump strong.
There.
Great! Let's vote now.
I think I just accidentally voted to downfist you. Sorry. Must be careful in the booth in November.

Just "take the oil"? Take everything. Eat everyone. A solid strategy. #NBCNewsForum
The choice is clear.
Twitter: They should have asked him whether he’d send his own kids into any war he declares
Maybe, if they could wear cute uniforms and be in charge of stuff.
Twitter: Tell our military to its face that they are "depleted." What a genuine, fleshless, soulless ghoul.
Dennis Mersereau @wxdam 28m28 minutes ago
Things Trump has said make him prepared to be Commander in Chief:
-Winning nomination
-Running companies
-Visited Mexico
-Noun verb Hillary
Stealing "genuine, fleshless, soulless ghoul." I may just leave it permanently on my copypasta "clipboard."
Seems Meme Generator Worthy.
Twitter: MSNBC showing their answers to same questions side by side – his are mostly attacks or nonsense.
OMG, yay, Rachel, interviewing vet for an hour!!!! OMG!!! Whooot!!!!!!! Fucking awesome, Rachel!!!
She has always given IAVA big love.
Excellent.
I wish to fuck that she had been the moderator, as opposed to Matt "What, me follow up?" Lauer FFS.
Hillary does indeed need to talk more about helping homeless vets and homeless people in general. #BASIC INCOME
Lots of comments in Twitter talking about how Trump is disrespectful to our military. None about Hills being so.
She acquitted herself well, I think, and they all went after her hard. Pretty much what I expected, but it was good to see nonetheless.

I am so coming here next time there's a candidate forum/ debate/ thingy. Much more user-friendly than disqus dynamite.

Yeah, no trolling here. Not sure if it's because of scrupulous moderation or that it's a small group and we are polite to each other almost always.
I don't remember our last actual troll tbh
It's because we don't allow comments.

Aaaaand – – – as if on cue, the wrap-up of the forum ushers in (for us): the monsoon!

"Dear NoVA/ Hermine or whichever source:

** This is what they look like on the Doppler radar, anyways
I got nothin'. | Lots of scattered cells through the area, though.|
Monsoon used to mean "a seasonal change in wind direction". The Santa Anas are half of of a monsoon pattern
♪ |"Go, good wind/ Go, fair wind!"| ♫
There was a marked dearth of reagan at this event. Sorry if that was a drinky word for you.
Only two "DISASTERS". Hardly enough to bother.
Weak. Sad.
Oh, I seem to have missed something.
Hillary was measured, competent, assured, cool. presidential. Trump was a greatest hits mash-up reel of empty promises, nonsense, hot air and fantasy.
Uh… So looking through the comments makes it sound like Trump somehow spewed more shit than he normally does?
Hard to tell. My Bullshit Meter pinned for the last half of the night.

He spewed at his customary rate. His assertion that he has a secret plan to destroy ISIS but won't tell anybody what it is fills me with rage. Nixon did the same thing in 1968, and look how that turned out!
This election better not turn out like 1968.
He (and Gerry Ford) got us out of Vietnam!

Clinton basically got a two-by-four equivalent in the questions, well beyond emails. Trump got tapped on the cheek.
Dennis Mersereau @wxdam 1h1 hour ago
Lauer presses Hillary for ten minutes on emails but Trump praises Putin and they move on to the VA without follow-up. Lord have mercy.
They set the bar so low for Trump he practically fell over it.
This is completely terrifying. They're doing everything they can to help Trump now.
It's worse than that. They're just in it for the clicks, pageviews and adbuys. Horseraces sell and blowouts are Boring.

Misty fog.
70°F
R.H. 100%
Barometer 30.03 in
Dewpoint 70°F (21°C)
That's not Desert Weather. Knock it off.

Yeah. I doubt the dewpoint In bar harbor gets that high
It hit a SCORCHING 82F in downtown SF today, hottest since May 17. HOW WILL WE SURVIVE?
