Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules

In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

Like I said it's not THAT uncommon for white women to talk about Po C men in that vulgar, racialized way.
But yes, her dad being who he is probably contributed to that somewhat.

Wait, so Ivanka supposedly said that she's interested in seeing a "mulatto" cock?
Isn't President Obama mixed race?
Hmm...
Edit:
On a more serious note, the stuff brought up about free trade got me wondering: how many of the Trump supporters who blame trade agreements for their woes actually know how said agreements work?

Disgusted, but not surprisedRead between the lines: He still considers it rigged, and is probably furious at having been "betrayed" by the aforementioned trio.
Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.After seeing all three debates I have created an image with text by using Google images and MS Paint that describes my feelings on the matter quite well.

I hope people will get as much of a kick out of seeing it as I did making it.
And seriously, the text basically wrote itself.
@Deadbeat In my opinion, in the 3rd debate, he didn't walk away with any sort of victory. At the most, he was able to pull Hilary down to his level and bring about a tie on a subject. IMHO Hilary actually won several portions by actually answering her questions in an appropriate manner, but a lot of her victories came from the fact that Trump tiraded a lot and set up traps for himself to step in that Hilary was more than happy to spring on him.
Even beyond the Blatant Lies, insults based on gender and race, and all but stating he'll never accept the outcome of the election if he loses; Trump made a fool of himself and let Hilary shine this debate.
When the audience and the debate's time keeper - that last part bears repeating - the frickin' Heaven-blessed Time keeper (bless him for not taking any crap from anyone) laughs at you for saying things so blatantly wrong, you know you hit rock bottom.

Or he's just trolling the media again to get extra notice for when he does concede... and announces the launch of Trump TV.
| Wandering, but not lost. | If people bring so much courage to this world...◊ |It's ridiculous how obsessed Trump is with the stupid Emmy. Most people don't really care about them, why does he?
Also, he lost the Emmy between 2004 and 2006. It's literally been 10 years. He's still nursing that grudge? Oh yeah, the president should be someone who is still absurdly bitter about something inconsequential that happened a decade ago.

Speaking of Trump TV he may have launch it during the debate or something like it: https://politicalwire.com/2016/10/20/trump-just-launch-trump-tv/
I noticed that. It was pretty unprofessional and not well run. Also, it got launched...on Facebook video. Creating a TV network is really hard, and despite apparently getting media people on board (like Sean Hannity and Steve Bannon), neither of them have any experience running a TV network.
It'll be interesting to see where it goes.

What Ivanka was alledgedly quoted as saying
me. It seems that she internalized the kinds of reductive and demeaning things that her dad says about women. I dunno.
