As a filthy 3rd worlder, I think America is pretty great. Gershwin, Joplin, brownies, lightbulbs, Michael Dell and Bill Gates - thank you! It's a Grand Central Station where all the world can connect to make new and awesome things. Like all new countries, its got some major growing pains. And like all rich assholes, America's problems mean problems for the rest of us. But as much as we hate the America personalised by people like Donald Trump and Ryan Lochte, the America of Barack Obama and Anthony Bourdain is pretty awesome. Now if you guys could just get rid of crippling income inequality, explicit racism and candy corn, things would be pretty close to perfect!

Gershowitz is good, but when you remember he wanted to legitimize Jazz by making it more white bread palatable and suitable for someone's piani recital he's just standing on the shoulders of virtuoso giants.

Not sure if I'd want to live anywhere else to be honest. Maybe Norway, or some other Scandinavian country. Far less poverty and the existence of proper safety nets make the prospect of taking risks to achieve your dreams far more palatable...you know, rather than becoming homeless.

Donald Trump is a clinical narcissist who will chafe at any attempt to make him say or do something that he perceives to be "weak." This conflicts with any and allattempts to getting him to stay "on message." Also I wish my dad was liberal.

This conflicts with any and allattempts to getting him to stay "on message." When the first post-Conway speech happened, I figured "ok, they're taking what Trump likes to talk about and organizing it into a 'coherent' speech." No rambling, no going off on tangents, no "2nd amendment people". Same poo poo as always, just polished. He still deviated. He'll do it again, and sooner or later he'll probably kick the prompters over or something. Also, both my parents, who are both boomers, are moderate-liberals, thank gods.

Okay, we say this, and yet look at the past several days. Clearly something has changed internally and if you're waiting for a Drump meltdown it's possible you're going to be holding your breath. EDIT: Even more proof - he's cancelled his Oregon rallies.

He's had periods of like 4 days where nothing happens, then suddenly footinmouthism takes over again. The guy behind literal dictators couldn't keep him reigned in. Somehow we expect right-wing TMZ to lock him down? Didn't we get TrumpPlayDough.jpg like two days ago???

Especially because my polling place is one of the "certain areas" of PA. Then I think I should just work for the polling place instead, because I'd rather not have to give some level of support to Trump.

Ailes, Trump, and Bannon are going to metastasize a piece of the republicican party to be consumers of a a media company that will be financed by Trump's unspent campaign cash. This media company will act as the mouthpiece of the Trump political movement post rigged election. It will be amazing to watch it fail. Also, can anyone imagine a more dastardly trifecta than Trump, Ailes, and Bannon. The conversations must be wonderful.

The patriotism of the DNC is like having a big ol' school bus you're taking on a road trip and you want a lot of people to come along because it means you have a bunch of different cooks and musicians and jokes and cool stories on board to make it a cool trip. Whereas the RNC patriotism is like burning your neighbor's house down because you don't like the way you think they're looking at your car, which is a pearl-white escalade with rotting fries, chik fil a bags and starbucks white chocolate mocha stains all over the interior.

This year's DNC was a little unnerving since it aped poo poo that was more likely to be seen in a GOP forum. It was a little more  America gently caress Yeah! Than I remember.But if you disliked that, you probably would have poo poo yourself at Old Man Giuliani having a hategasm as his skeleton tried to escape his mouth. That is, if you weren't dazzled by the A List celebrities brought by the Republicans.
