    Yes. And he also says stupid shit like maybe he'll fire all the generals when he's elected. Then everyone has to waste a few seconds writing a "fact check" that explains what most semi-intelligent people already know and would therefore never say.

    Mrs. W noted that Clinton wore outfits of red, blue and white at the three debates.

    You can fact-check any statement, and given that people here seem to think everyone is low-information/low-intellect, perhaps fact-checkers should fact-check everything, or as much as possible, or at least, the same number of statements, for each side. Why would you not check something Clinton said? Because you think everybody --even all the low-information/low-intellect people -- already knows it? Or believes it?

    Somehow, I don't think that's it.

    Because fake balance is pointless. Trump is a rambling insane person who believes that anything that comes to his mind becomes a fact.

    People who think officials should call the same number of fouls on both teams can go away too

    Dream scenario: A New York to Los Angeles red-eye, circa 1979. A cloud of Marlboro smoke hangs in the first class cabin, mostly concentrated over one particularly loud gentleman and his female companion. Somewhere over Kentucky, the Star-signal is activated when the woman starts complaining about her grabby friend and Starman leaps into action to deliver a boot to the ass!

    Also, pretty sure Starman just outed himself as Ed Gruberman.

    How'd all the fact-checking re: Herself's Heller/toddlers comments turn out? Or was this another instance of there being no need given her standing among the high-intellect/high-information set?

    You know what? He really had her on that for a while. He fucks everything up by overplaying his hand. "You were so angry. I saw you. You were very, very, very angry." He just drives shit like that beyond being effective. Sometimes less is more, Donald. Let her squirm.

    I agree with this statement. If Tommy Flanagan is on the debate stage there just might be a few more statements from him that would warrant fact checking. I think it is safe to say that Trump is Jon Lovitz. Not really that tough to comprehend.
