How many times during tonight's debate will be graced with the charming Clinton chuckle?

[Impedimentus]

There is no need to answer serious questions when you can simply condescend your way through them with a hearty laugh.

FEEL THE BERN - 2016

[SDJay]

1. My Wife and I

are going to play a drinking game. She drinks every time HRC cackles, usually at a question she's about to completely avoid, and I have to drink every time SBS waves his arm in a complete circle.

We should both be on the floor snoring by the second commercial.

[Armstead]

19. Waves his arms in a complete circle? I must've missed that

I'm moer familiar with the upward arm swoop or the downward point

[SDJay]

22. Yeah, That Was a Poor

description. We mimicked it for each other so we'll know when it's time for me to drink, though. :

I probably won't do any better of a job describing things after our game is complete.

[IMG][/IMG]

[Armstead]

23. I suspect it will be easier to tolerate as it wears on then

By the end you might even be enjoying it

[SDJay]

25. I Don't Mind The Arm Waving...

It reminds me of a professor I had in law school who used to basically do the same thing. He was also tall and sorta hunched over and I think of him every time SBS does that. The cackle, on the other hand...

[merrily]

28. Chuckling to avoid answering questions is very different from gesturing while answering a question.

[SDJay]

33. Yes, I Understand That...

Please see what I put into Post 19:

"HRC cackles, usually at a question she's about to completely avoid".

This isn't about intent behind the gestures. It's about having some fun with my wife.

[merrily]

34. I saw that before I posted. What I am suggesting is that you can have even

more fun with your wife, if you negotiate a better deal with her--whatever a better deal means to you--because you have a basis for doing that. Depending on whether you want her drunk or you want to be drunk, maybe she has to take a half drink to your full one, or vice versa.

[SDJay]

37. A Fair Point...

but she can drink a lot of guys under the table, so there will be no drink discounts.

[merrily]

38. Well, if there's another debate, you may be able to figure out a way to use that distinction. It

should count for something, IMO.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

2. Why are some of you incapable of talking up Bernie without talking down Hillary?

[Armstead]

20. There's a lot of talking up Bernie

[merrily]

29. Posters who claim to support Bernie yet get exercised only when Hillary is being criticized

somehow don't seem terribly authentic to me.

[Impedimentus]

42. Maybe we're just attention whores?

Darn, I was going to try and avoid that word. I guess it's the frustration of all the serious climate change threads sinking faster than that lead balloon thingy. Anyway, in 50 years it won't matter a tinker's damn - the days of the perpetual outdoor barbecue are rapidly approaching.

3. Here, you can use this for debate prep:

[Armstead]

24. That's absolutely awful

I was done after about 20 seconds

[corkhead]

31. Admit it. You do start out by laughing. It is contagious. but, like eating too much candy,

once you have had too much, you quickly figure it out at about the time you start to get nauseous.

[Armstead]

32. I prefer this...Ir's awful but I couldn't stop laughing

Posted in response to the exploding heads over one of the latest political outrages

[hrmjustin]

4. How many times will Sanders wave his hands and point?

Really annoying.

[Peregrine Took]

6. Hey! That's the way he gestures. Has nothing to do with Madame.

Although I'm quite sure her rabid followers will be enraged that the delicate flower is being threatened.

[Mike__M]

7. The arm movements are accompanied

by Bernie making a verbal point on the issue at hand, the "charming chuckles" by Hillary taking an evasion from the issue. Talk about annoying.

[firebrand80]

10. Hes conducting an invisible orchestra nt

[hrmjustin]

11. Seems like it. It can be really annoying.

[JonLeibowitz]

30. I'm sorry his heritage, how he was raised to communicate with gesticulation "annoys" you.

[jillan]

39. Thank you for saying that

[hrmjustin]

43. Pointing at people can be very annoying. I talk with my hands to but doing it at a debate is

distracting and annoying.

[JonLeibowitz]

45. Again, I'm sorry his heritage annoys you. It's really quite sad.

[hrmjustin]

47. Good bye!

[Peregrine Took]

5. OR that huge crocodile ear to ear man eating grin!!!

[JoePhilly]

8. Far less then we'll hear Bernie's soothing dulcet tones.

[merrily]

35. Hillary has her own version of dulcet tones, so we can all be gently lulled.

[JoePhilly]

48. Yes, neither has a soothing voice.

Glad we cleared that up.

[JackRiddler]

9. Sure sure but don't waste time with this stuff.

People notice what they notice about personal things.

Start a thread about Medicare for All!

[BernieforPres2016]

12. Unfortunately, in my experience when you start a thread on a real issue it sinks like a stone nt

[Impedimentus]

13. I've tried many, many times with climate change - no one cares.

So sometimes I resort to this foolish stuff for the sake of foolishness.

FEEL THE BERN - 2016

[BernieforPres2016]

16. I have the Naomi Klein book on climate change you recommended

I will start on it when I finish my income taxes and "Listen, Liberal" by Thomas Frank which I am reading now.

[Impedimentus]

17. Good luck with those taxes, and remember - you pay more so that the rich can pay less.

FEEL THE BERN - 2016

[BernieforPres2016]

18. Fortunately, I had over $8000 in healthcare expenses last year as an individual

So that will help me out on my taxes! At least medical bills haven't driven me into bankruptcy like they do 1.7 million Americans every year.

[seabeyond]

14. There really is no way for her to present herself or react, without insult, right?

[Armstead]

26. Prolly not

[passiveporcupine]

15. Or the mouth-agape excited face?

I don't know which one bothers me more. One sounds like a Grimm's Fairy Tale, and the other looks like a caricature artist's drawing.

My jaws would hurt like hell if I smiled like she does with her excited face.

[BillZBubb]

21. A lot. It's her tell. When she is in trouble, she "laughs".

You hear that, you know an evasion is coming.

[Onlooker]

27. Far fewer times than we'll have to endure a screaming Bernie n/t

[Warren DeMontague]

36. "Debbie wasserman schultz voted to send medical marijuana users to prison. Do you agree with that?"

"Ha ha ha ha ha, oh, youuuuuuuu.... Now, seriously- as you know, we have a terrible heroin problem in this country..."

[Godhumor]

41. Go ahead, say she sounds shrill. You know you want to n/t

[Armstead]

44. She sounds shrill and grating when she gets going

whewwwwwwwwww! Thank you.

Okay I'm admit the Bernie can sound rough and grating at times....But I much prefer his words.

[laruemtt]

46. That's why I keep my finger

ready over the mute button

[grasswire]

49. But is she going to bark?

I hope so.

[Impedimentus]

50. Please note I used "chuckle" in the title and not that other word.

Some of us are sensitive to the feelings of others.

FEEL THE BERN - 2016

[Dem2]

52. I thought it was a 'cackle'?

[laruemtt]

53. Cackle #1

in response to Bernie's questioning her judgment.

[LuvLoogie]

54. She Who Laughs Inappropriately drinks your milkshake.

[trueblue2007]

55. SANDERS offered his charming chuckle talking about people dying from GUN VIOLENCE.

How about your great guy there?
Hillary then reminded him..... GUN VIOLENCE IS NOT A LAUGHING MATTER.
