Is there going to be violence or nudity at the DNC because nothing will top this ever otherwise.

well Janelle Monae's tour literature does advise concertgoers that children conceived on the night of the show may be born with wings, so dont rule anything out just yet

ok serious question

what, if anything, is it going to take for the media to adopt anything other than a "boys will be boys" attitude towards trump's campaign manager working for russian allies and trump's foreign policy (such that it is) very coincidentally turning into things that are really great for russia

is anyone gonna give a poo poo about this nato interview or w/e or is it just another boring hard policy thing that will just get lost in the spectacle

it seems like a very likely literal connection to the kremlin should, i dunno, bother people more

CNN was apoplectic about it. That said, Trump supporters and most Americans likely don't give a gently caress, perhaps rightly. I mean, NATO isn't going to pay their rent or cure their chlamydia.

10 Droid Commandments

1. Believe in the ArchAndroid.
2. If you see your neighbor jamming harder than you, covet his or her jam.
3. Be aware that jamming means: no tweeting without clapping, no sex without screaming and no freedom without dancing.
4. Please be aware that the songs you will hear are electric: be careful as you experience them and interact with electrical devices, drink water or touch others. The Wondaland Arts Society will not be held responsible for melted telecommunications devices or injuries resulting from Lockback, Sweat-tech, Leaveweave, Poparm, Shockjaw, Electrobutt or any other maladies or malfunctions caused by The Jam.
5. Any songs lyrics you know must be sung. If you do not know English, sing loudly in any language of your choosing. Be aware that there is no right or wrong language, for the ArchAndroid was recorded all over the world.
6. Abandon your expectations about art, race, gender, culture and gravity.
7. Before the show, feel free to walk about the premise impersonation one of the many inspirations of the ArchAndroid Emotion Picture: (choose one) Salvador Dalí, Walt Disney, Outkast, Stevie Wonder, Octavia Butler, David Bowie, Andy Warhol, or John Williams.
8. If you have been to the Palace of the Dogs, please do not say anything about the Palace of the Dogs. In addition, do no say anything about the Droid Control, the Wolfmasters, or the Great Divide. All these terms or conversations about them are strictly forbidden, so sayeth THE ZOIDS.
9. By show’s end you must transform. This includes but is not limited to eye color, perspective, mood, or height.
10. Lastly, please be aware that children conceived during the show or within 48 hours thereafter may be born with wings. The Wondaland Arts Society will not be held liable for this phenomenon or be held responsible for parenting or providing for your flying children.

Meanwhile the DNC fires up in the birthplace of America next week and has performers people actually recognize alongside a solid list of contenders for best orators of the past half-century. Complete with a full entourage of corporate sponsors and a bunch of "HEY DON'T gently caress UP LIKE THESE DIPSHITS" items to buff out ahead of time.

To quote Sherman:

You are rushing into war with one of the most powerful, ingeniously mechanical and determined people on earth--right at your doors. You are bound to fail. Only in your spirit and determination are you prepared for war. In all else you are totally unprepared, with a bad cause to start with.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Now that CNN Kayleigh lady is trying to defend the Melania plagiarism by bringing up the Obama/Patrick thing and spicing it up and she's getting brutalized. She screams "You can all try and rewrite history" and AMANDA CARPENTER, the Cruz lady, defends Obama and says "you're the only one rewriting history."

They're all asking her why she's not upset that the Trump Campaign left all their surrogates like her to have to lie and defend this for a day before suddenly changing their minds and admitting it happened. She just keeps drowning and everyone, including a pair of Republicans are just giving her snark and shaking their heads.

Carpenter: He exploited people like Kayleigh. Its sad.

This is brutal. Watch CNN.

"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth."
Trump's aggressively isolationist stance in tomorrow's New York Times is going to drive a wedge between Donald and a whole bunch of Republican Senators who are going to be asked to pick a side in the coming days.

Alec Baldwin is the talented one who has been in good movies and tv shows and poo poo.
Billy Baldwin is the dreamy one who made a career out of having on screen sex with people like Sharon Stone and Cindy Crawford.
Stephen Baldwin is the one who made stoner movies.
Daniel Baldwin is the fat one.

I think CNN cares about them because two of them are liberal, two are conservative, and they're all kind of crazy and think they're smarter than they are. So they just think its fun and it takes time away from having to do news or journalism.
