REPORT: Phone cameras banned at debate to avoid ‘inspiring Hillary's seizure disorder'
2016-10-12
New York City's WPIX aired a round up segment Monday morning on Sunday's presidential debate, and ended it with the reporter and the morning show anchors taking photos with disposable cameras.

The report made note that electronic cameras were banned from the event at Washington University in St. Louis.

"Whoa, gah," reporter Kirsten Cole said as the flash went off in her eyes. "This is why it was banned apparently. "The Secret Service did not trust people to disable the flashes on they’re cameras, and they were afraid it would sort of inspire Hillary’s seizure disorder."

The female anchor looked stunned.

"Wow, I did not know," she said.

Debate attendees were ridiculed on Twitter for using the archaic technology.

#19  Trump, if elected, will likely be fighting internal struggles with RINOS should which will make it hard for him to govern.

Therefore all the libertarians should vote for him!

#18  Crap I wish I could live to be a hundred and read about the next 8 years, it's going to be hilarious, ugly and existentialy dangerous.

I think Shipman is correct about the existential dangers of the next 8 years. If Hillary wins, she will be crippled as the result of the run up to the election and all the criminal crap and incessant lying she has engaged in--she will be all-the-more dangerous to her enemies (here and abroad). We have already seen what is like weaponizing the government against citizens under an Obama regime. The IRS goes after enemies and the DOJ presents roadblocks to justice. She will have trouble governing. Trump, if elected, will likely be fighting internal struggles with RINOS should which will make it hard for him to govern.

#17  #3 The Progressives are checking off the boxes with each election: black (2008, 2012 check), womyn (2016, check), gay (check, already got that one)

I only meant that the left is enamored with electing a POTUS who is from one of their usually constituent groups which they deem politically correct. We got Obama in 2008 and 2012 because a great number of people thought that would be "cool." They want to elect a womyn because we have not yet had a woman and it is time for a woman. Next a gay POTUS but then I thought well, maybe we've already got one. Same with welfare recipient, Muslim, etc. In their minds, no white men are allowed anymore.

#16  The disaster is going to happen, we gotta mitigate down ticket and wait for the implosion after the election. I don't think Bill is up to being Mr. Stand in. We will see. Crap I wish I could live to be a hundred and read about the next 8 years, it's going to be hilarious, ugly and existentialy dangerous.

#15  The 'redeye fix' is basically a strobe to dilate the pupil.

Also, disposable cameras cannot take video. A frame can be explained; video tells the story.

#14  I wonder if we can get a strobe light in...

#12  black, womyn, gay are all public employees/welfare recipients?

I read that as an additional characteristic of the present and would-be next presidents, g(r)omgoru, not a general description of those sets of the population. Certainly gay men as a group have a much higher income range than the general public, and do not cluster in governemnt employment.

#10  black, womyn, gay are all public employees/welfare recipients? Not to be too harsh here, but something bothers me about this Besoeker.

#9  During the 2nd debate, Hillary looked on the verge of flipping out without the phone cameras. She appeared rattled. She has never had to deal with someone like Trump--she was hoping for the usual p*$sy boys to show up this election. P*$sy is used as a modifier here, not a noun.

#8  No problem John. Not to harsh g(r)om, but perhaps those that 'don't see it' have the luxury of not having lived it.

#7  Thx Besoeker. Oversight on my part. Should have specified.

#6  I don't see it.

#5  Please re-check the listing at #3. "Public employee/welfare recipients" were implied, as opposed to specified.

#4  Forgot the most important one: public employee/welfare recipient, JQC.
