And meanwhile, Trump has finally promised to respect the election results... as long as he wins, of course.

As someone said: He never wanted votes, he just wants ratings. Anything that gets people to keep looking at him and keep talking about him.

We were at a parents evening tonight, and whilst waiting Darcy was checking his phone and showed me that headline... Couldn't make it up. He's like a petulant, spoiled child.

Here's to hoping that he loses so badly he'll become a laughing stock. >:)

Politics drew me in to Twitter. I'm hoping the election will cure me, and I'll be able to stop checking it.

I'm particularly enjoying the newest hashtag trend/meme trumpbookreport. People are coming up with how Trump would do reports on various pieces of classical literature. xD

I saw that!!! (I even think I linked to it above... Although there are so many links, it's entirely possible I left it out.)

Reactions to the "nasty woman" comment are my favorite thing to happen in this entire election. Loving it.

Also loving the analyses of Clinton's debate strategy. I've seen similar admiration for it in several different places and, lest we forget, this guy took down a whole army of Republican candidates. I'm reminded of that bit in Men in Black where Agent K shoots the spaceship out of the sky, watches it crash and slide right up to his feet and doesn't flinch.

And: 'soooooo many balloons for Bill' lmao. Has anyone ever been as happy as Bill Clinton was with those balloons?

Mmmmm. Yes. Oh! And I knew there was something I kept forgetting - which Dr Who villain would Trump be? Something Moffat-y surely. Something which keeps changing and altering shape...

And: 'soooooo many balloons for Bill' lmao. Has anyone ever been as happy as Bill Clinton was with those balloons?
It's incredible. She should just convert a room in the White House to be The Balloon Room and he'd be happy forever. (Mind you, those balloons were amazing!!)

MMmmm. I don't know that Trump's villainy operates along themes that Moffat has much interest in exploring. Not to mention Moff villains tend to have sympathetic sides. I'd think he'd be more up Rusty's alley: all those tangle-y ego and power issues. This struck me as a deeply evocative piece for someone interested in the . . . underlying mythology of the campaign.

Sooooo amazing. I kinda respect and pity anyone on that stage who wasn't making a fool of themselves playing with them.

I meant more in the ever-shifting sense - bit like The Great Intelligence which always mirrors (which Trump does, he always affirms whatever he's just heard), a bad guy that is difficult to defeat because it keeps changing shape.

What strikes me is how he is all instinct. He has no ability to plan, he just lashes out or parrots whatever is going on. He's like the gas mask kid, except instead of looking for his mummy, he's saying 'don't you think I'm great?'

As someone pointed out, we should just name him 'king' of America. That's what he really wants.

I want some...
No one can be uncheered by a balloon.

ETA: oh, I rode past Trump's new DC hotel the other day on the bus. I had to restrain myself from hissing.

*snerk* And yes, all instinct.

Oh and watched The Empty Child the other day - Moffat is... ridiculously good at this.

DOCTOR: What's this, then? It's never easy being the only child left out in the cold, you know.
NANCY: I suppose you'd know.
DOCTOR: I do actually, yes.

Immediate thought of bb!Doctor in the barn. <3
