Mental Hospitality posted:America is a broken nation full of broken people. 15% of the country is dirt poor. Half of all households make less than $50,000 annually. They've worked harder for less, and seen the top profit massively, and they blame the government. They're right to do so, but the consequence of this is a Trump. Times are not going to improve bigly for a large swath of people but Democrats will remain..well they'll remain the way they are, and I would not be surprised to see a 2 term Trump. America is schizophrenic imo Everything is insane Civil society in the US needs electroconvulsive therapy

Also that 15% number is hella low balled because it is based on strict Census Bureau metrics, and even they go back afterwards and give a supplemental poverty measure (https://www.census.gov/topics/income-poverty/supplemental-poverty-measure.html) which jacks that 15% up. If you calculate by wage figures which is what the IRS uses to determine your tax bracket and determines whether you get welfare or SNAP, half of all Americans are in poverty or near poverty. Our economy is rapidly approaching banana republic status levels of inequality and you can find prominent economists that say the same if you don't want to believe me. lol.

Catastrophe posted:This man is 46 years old. He still goes by Kid Rock. He has no political experience and his most successful song has the nonsense title, Bawitdaba, and the lyrics are: "Bawitdaba, da bang, da dang diggy diggy. Diggy, said the boogie, said up jump the boogie." This is exactly why he's going to win. A younger than 50, charismatic celebrity who transcends musical genres, who spent the last few DECADES hammering home his message of rags to riches good 'ol boy from Michigan who loves real 'murica. We're in a new world where policies and experience don't matter anymore. Kid Rock is going to stomp Debbie Stabenow into paste. It won't be like Trump vs Hillary, it will be Trump vs Jeb.

my favorite thing about the "world class shot putters hurling huge sacks of los drogos over the solar wall crusching decent americans" thing is that it is from remarks he made to journos on air force one that they took to be tacitly off the record and didn't publish. he got mad about it so they obliged him by publishing. it's a regime of perpetually self-owning corncobs and all i can do is lol.

After the show he brought dog the bounty hunter on stage and i didn't know who that was but everyone went nuts He's the Hawaiin bail bondsman who got mad at his son because she was dating a black woman. The jist of his anger was that he says the N word every so often and he didn't want her getting upset about it to the media. His show was pretty great though, he's a bail bondsman so his tracking skills involve looking up the address the guy who acquired the bail bond provided, then going to his house.

Bonus: The woman who was facing up to a year for prison for laughing at Jeff Sessions had the conviction tossed out by a judge today http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/protester-laughed-jeff-sessions-sentenced_us_5967de92e4b0d6341fe7a9e2?4r I hate that it got that far but at least we have less reason to worry about getting prison sentences for laughing, now.

Pretty much everyone I know in the Detroit area has been to a Kid Rock concert even if they don't really like his music. Really though, it's like a lot of concerts. You drink some, smoke , everyone has a good time for the most part and you have fun. People don't seem to realize that this doesn't qualify an entertainer to make sound policy decisions or advance the working class out of poverty/near poverty.

Someone else explained Franken graduated from Harvard where he majored in government and graduated cum laude. The Trumpers still equated Franken with Kid Rock and accused us of being too dumb to understand why that's the case. I'm going to head out to the hospital now because I'm dizzy from banging my head into my desk so many times.
