This is like the inverse argument of "they're both horrible", isn't it? I don't care about an earpiece because Trump's done way worse shit.
I'm not following. this has nothing to with Trump.

She was prolly just listening to the new Zack de la Rocha joint anyway.

Better than the Oberlin dorm RA they had feeding Bernie.

We're really stretching here, aren't we?

I mean, it's not like she used a teleprompter or anything!
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

You're right, it doesn't. Nor does it have anything to do with the price of rice in China and yet here we are.

The thing is, she was doing and saying the opposite of what that earpiece was telling her. She was...I'm good with the body language, and what that earpiece's body language was showing me was that Clinton was saying the opposite of what it was telling her.

The more i hear about people fussing over this, the more i think of Doc Ock with his arms talking to him.

Well, she could be fed responses based on live social media analysis to make sure her base is responding or be given counterpoints or follow questions. Not sure she can get away with it at a real debate. Flopsy will probably check her ears when he struts onto stage.

Politicians don't give a shit to anyone outside of their base. She just stepped her game up. My only problem in the debates would be fairness. They should either both have them or neither of them have them.

If I was supposed to know where Aleppo is they would have put it on a Risk board.
Think I’m going to try being kind to everyone a chance.

Yeah the sources on this one were so absurd that I assume the people who bought in also believe every Facebook death hoax.
