A city that was to live by night after the wilderness had passed. A city that was to forge out of steel and blood-red neon its own peculiar wilderness.
And the answer is ease of ability to vote.

Giuliani is right...Trump is really showing his leadership and purveying the tragedy that is what's happening in LA here.

I like how he doesn't even make an effort at the "rolled up sleeves to make it looks like I'm here to do work" conceit that politicians always try when they're forced to do stuff like this. He's got his jacket and his stupid hat and his flag pin and he's gonna pass you this industrial pallet of playdoh whether you want it or not.

So who in this thread has actually been to a Trump rally? I'm pretty sure I'm going under my podcast self to the rally in Austin next Tuesday and I want some tips to not get punched in the face. I don't plan on poo poo stirring, just asking what makes attendees want to vote for him most, like what's the one thing they like best about his platform, etc.

I went to one, but that was way back in October during the primary in NH, and it was nothing like what we're reading/watching now.

What do you have to lose will almost assuredly be paired with many, many stories of the subcontractors and employees trump has hosed over across the years. Almost tailor made for that campaign.

Still with name chat? Fine.

My 3rd grade class had four kids named David, 4th grade was three Julies, and every year had so many Kathrines that even the nicknames were starting to double and triple up. In high school, I shared my exact name, first middle and last, with a classmate and the administration hosed poo poo up constantly over it. Unusual can have its benefits. Kylee-Bell and Magnatron will never have the wrong transcripts sent to a college they're applying to. But I guess some people might laugh at them so better name everyone Bobby and Sue forever.

That's why you give your kids old timey names like Eustace and Wilberforce.

One of the sneaky best things about being a recruiter is you get to see a ton of cool names. I've learned how to pronounce Mongolian names. :toot:


Best one I've seen so far was a normal first name but the last was Deigns. Imagine going though your life as _______ Deigns. Would kick rear end.

I took a kid's ID at work the other day, and motherfucker's first name was Maverick. Way back at a previous job, I met a baby named Justice. My own name is about as common an english name can possibly be, so I'm always tickled to see really cool unique names like those.

Because Trump is an unoriginal loser and the only move he has in his life is take a thing that other people have done and throw his name on a version of it. It's the reason the most optimistic evaluation of his wealth is half of what he inherited from his father in the first place. And the worst is "Effectively rich people poor".

It's hard to believe he actually thinks his behavior might lead to winning the election, so everyone's casting around for other explanations.

We're nearing phase two, where we lower a concrete sarcophagus over the entire retirement community.

At least we have the Hispanic and Native communities, and even some of the college town kids, keeping us from falling into being West Florida. Plus, by concentrating old racists from the west, we allow Colorado and California to flourish. The midwestern ones can just go home and ruin their own states further.

Because I didn't see it and god drat is this guy something.

It actually makes sense if you understand that this is basically his sales pitch to poor white Americans.

The problem is that Black people actually know what they have to lose.

He brought toys. Toys are nice and whatever, but couldn't they at least have pretended to be useful?

At this point I'm more offended by the laziness of the attempt than the lack of compassion. We expect Trump to be disingenuous and stupid, but how often do we see both at the same time?

He really wants LA and NYC big shots to respect and adore him. Wasting time and resources on two of the bluest states in the union is a disastrous mistake for him strategically but if this is all about massaging his ego NY and CA are must-win states.

She loved it because that's what Jigsaw was going to name his son :unsmigghh:
