I wake up every morning eagerly looking forward to jrfox's overreactions to things he misinterprets as he reads them in this thread, though.

This is Trump we're talking about here.
It's not like him saying something like this is really a massive surprise, he says shit like this all the time.
The difference is that this is just something the DNC can use to deflect from the fact that they fixed the primaries.
Hey, I'm all for Trump expressing himself. :rant:

Difference here's that he's a Presidential candidate & what he's saying can be (and apparently has been by some) "misconstrued" as "treasonous". :idk:

I wouldn't consider it an overreaction considering that I've spent, literally, all day hearing someone claim that Trumps sarcasm was borderline genuine support for foreign espionage and subsequently claim that he's a traitor or "in the pocket of Putin" or some other stupid thing.

Well, maybe it's a bit of an overreaction to Tribe himself, but, like I said, I don't see it as an overreaction to the controversy itself.

Been listening to the democratic convention. They were sounding so good and then Clinton took the stage. Uggghh. No thanks.

Other than her voice which grates my ears (and the obvious man/woman distinction) the glaring difference between HRC & Bill is approach in speaking. HRC sounds like she's reciting a practiced and memorized dissertation addressing a crowd of people. It's awkward, even ham-fisted the way she will emphasize and deliver a soundbyte line. By contrast Bill sounds like he's seizing the moment and speaking to YOU, the individual. The emphasis and delivery is almost melodic. It was his greatest strength IMO, and she just doesn't have it. It's tough to describe but the difference in performance is stark. Maybe like a karaoke fan who has their go-tos... compared to the singer of an all-in tribute band.

The Onion was able to sum up the entire election cycle in one sarcastic tweet:

"It's sad that Bernie would endorse Hillary, just so a madman wouldn't take control of the country."

LOL...It's sad...I felt like the DNC was very inspiring, until I factor in that its all one big skillfully crafted lie to pull the wool over the eyes of naive Americans who really BELIEVE they're going to fight for us. Once she's in the whitehouse, its business as usual, and back to waging war on American citizens, through the NSA. *yawn*

Nothing to see here...move along.

I don't know how any of you can stomach to even watch the RNC or DNC. I'm so tired or hearing about these two assholes that will become President. Sigh.

Again. I refer you to Pantera.

Fuck the World. :)

In case anyone was wondering why I'm angry all the time, it's because I have to listen to NPR all day for my job.
Five seconds of NPR makes me want to kill people, imagine what it's like spending ~8 hours listening to that.
