Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Boy, I envision serious shenanigans happening at the GOP convention.
Shenanigan-planning is going on as we speak.
Perhaps time to invest in popcorn futures?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?

The Chicago Tribune had an opinion piece this morning whose author was claiming to give a reasonable view of the current conservative mindset, but I stopped reading a third of the way through because it was the typical fear-mongering "liberals are destroying the country" BS.
Maybe that's how a lot of them are feeling right now, but the argument that it's reasonable and all the liberals' fault (rather than the conservative media echo chamber) falls flat.
I saw a Politico blurb last night that GOP party leaders are supposedly planning to meet this week to discuss the feasibility of a third party bid if Trump gets the nomination. No clue how reliable that actually is.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesse - would love to see you!
Same! I'm basically free after mid-afternoon on Saturday?

Trump says that if he has the most delegates and the GOP doesn't give him the nomination, "I think you'd have riots."
Great.

"I think you'd have riots."
Because he'd incite them. His rallies are proof of that. And Trump supporters are not the kind of people I want rioting. (Okay, I basically don't want anyone to be rioting. But Trump supporters scare me in a huge way.)

Yes. Especially the ones who bring guns to "Protect our First Amendment rights."

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Yeah, I think some kind of mass unrest would be inevitable.
In one sense, I understand how people who support Trump don't take any of the doom-saying seriously. Because for 8 years, people screamed that Obama was going to destroy the country, and the rest of us called them idiots.
On the other hand, do they seriously not see the difference?

But of course he doesn't encourage violence.
The other concern is what happens if Trump gets the nomination and doesn't win (whether due to GOP shenanigans or straight up losing the election) which leaves you with a lot of angry people who are even angrier. We already had to deal with idiots yelling about Obama stealing both elections he won. This could be far worse (though still not as bad as an actual Trump presidency.)

I don't think he can win against Clinton.

My first instinct is "Fuck them." I'm dying to know what it is about the past 7 years have been so bad that they need to elect this scary-ass bigoted shitlord. Because I really think it comes down to "Vote Trump: I'm not black, Jewish, or a woman!"
And it's terrifying that I live in a country with so many people who are apparently unequivocally bigoted shitlords.
