The weirdest part: all those disposable cameras after the debate. Wtf?
Probably smartphones weren't allowed.
Tep, do you watch the Wire now? Or is that "best not miss" thing just out there now?(Either way, I approve)
It's just out there, although I did know it was from The Wire. Omar, right?
When he was circling her, all I could think (besides FUCKING CREEPY) was that he actually could not control himself and stay away from the camera for 2 minutes.
A co-worker on FB asked if he was doing the pee pee dance.
Yeah, that's Omar. Black, gay, and armed--Trump's nightmare.
Cool...maybe Simon going on about the zeitgeist wasn't just him being my very favorite pretentious egomaniac...okay, mostly. But he made it anyway. Go him.(I so loved it when Colbert brought his Emmy to the interview and said "You know you wanna touch it,")
I think you'd love The Wire, but I admit I'm tiresome like an evangelist about it, and it can be slow. Like "Here's that thing from two seasons ago."
Something that was painfully clear tonight - Drumpf doesn't give a fuck about anything other than being on TV.
So true. The Donald fans were thrilled to pieces about his clear and decisive win. Really. He didn't pick up a single new fan, but his core couldn't be happier. Grateful that it is a percentage too small to actually win the election. Hugs prediction sites close.
My concern is that the red states are going to be even more angry and divisiveness worse than ever when this election is finally behind us.
I worry about after the election too. Too many people are already convinced the election is rigged. There are too many people in this country that make a living off of outrage.
I feel good about the fact that HRC's percentage went up again on the NYT site and the Princeton Consortium site.

It wouldn't be any different if Sanders had gotten the nomination. The Trump supporters who are angry and divisive would be like this with anyone who fills the DEM slot of NotTrump.
And yup, I get that HRC is a woman, and there will be a special kind of horrific misogyny thrown at her, just like Pres. Obama has had horrific racism thrown his way. But I still don't think this would be any different with any other DEM candidate. No DEM candidate exists who could mollify the angry Trump supporters. Not after the way he's exploited their concerns and fears and whipped them into a frenzy.

I do think there is a special well of hate reserved specifically for HRC, but at this point I think the Venn diagram of frothing-at-the-mouth Drumpf supporters and frothing-at-the-mouth Hillary haters is basically a circle.
Wow, watching clips of John Oliver from last night, it's the first time I've actually heard that tape. Hearing Billy Bush giggle is really sickening.
I didn't realize that Bush was currently hosting the Today Show because I don't watch it, but apparently he has been suspended. Yes, he was disgusting, but at least he gave a real and appropriate apology. My level of disgust with him is minimal compared to the Donald.
Timelies all!
Instead of watching the debate, we watched the Blue Jays- Rangers game. Much less angry-making.
