It is done. I have mailed my absentee ballot in Ohio for Clinton. I feel so dirty
What?!? I mean.....WHAT?!?
Is this the ultimate troll?

My how this conversation turns in circles.
Everyone always says Hillary has done nothing. But when I look at Trump, I see an abysmal failure, as well. What has he accomplished? Being D-list celeb?
Tell you what, if I inherited as much money as he did I bet I could do as well as he has without trying that hard.
If he were an NFL QB, he'd be Joe Flacco at best.

That's not what I said.
I didn't say the show is shit - as if anything with Axl and Slash together could be shit. Lets face it - they could put you, me, and miss piggy as the rest of the band and with Slash on guitar and Axl on vocals it's going to sound awesome.
Of course they can afford sorum, like they can afford the plane, and most anything else when this tour is bringing in 100s of millions. But I have to ask why when the tour makes so much money are decisions being made that reduce the quality in favour of profit.
Let's face it - the perfect solution both for authenticity and sound output would have been to have Adler on the AFD song, Sorum on UYI numbers and Frank on the CD tracks.
That would make the show the best it can be. But it didn't happen because of $ which is absolutely absurd when you consider how much money each of these people have.
At least with Adler there's health questions, and with Izzy there's reliability issues, but with Sorum it just turns out they'd rather not pay him what he is worth - even if it means we have lesser drumming. I can't respect that - especially when you look at the size of the entourage they do cart around the world.
Miss Piggy costs more than Adler

Even his main talking point, immigration, was totally different four years ago. Back then he was against every single thing he is for today.
To me this video only fortifies the idea that Trump is an opportunist. He saw a weak party (GOP) and an angry demographic inside that party that he could exploit. He then sharpened his message to appeal specifically to that subgroup. It's clear though that he doesn't mean any of it.

The thing I don't understand is....why?
Do you think his motivations changed as he went through the process?
I really don't understand why he would even want the job. He could continue to barely work for a living. Continue living the easy life.
There's not an ounce of altruism in the man. There's just something I can't quite put my finger on it, but something never felt truly real about his candidacy.
Something tells me the post election season will reveal a lot about his original goals.

Sure. I've never seen anybody lie like Trump does. He's an outrageous liar, just continuous horseshit.
Again to claim they are "the same" here is just non sense and to claim she lies more than he does is just stupid.
It's not even lies either...it's constantly changing the context or being inconsistent about an objective or a certain metric. My how he loved the polls a month ago. Now, the liberal media is lying about polls .

Imagine Axl playing Risk..
Too close to real life those board games. They do actually play them out irl anyway. If Slash n Duff were able to recall, I'd say they'd bring up some bad memories of how Axl took over.. could lead to plenty of turbulence.. ugh, what a bad joke. What a series of bad jokes.
Sorry.
It's okay...my bad jokes spawned yours....
If it's any consolation, I came up with mine sitting on the shitter at dawn...the first thing I did today.
#4847 Re: Guns N' Roses » New GNR Airplane » 521 weeks ago
Is there a pic of Axl's plane?
TBH, imo, the plane isn't cool & im dubious as to what it's used for. Comfort? Slash & Duffer don't party anymore, right? So, what's the point of a party bus in the sky? Well, except to bone groupies.. eh. Nice work if you can get it of course.
I can think of a few purposes...
1) some place to plug in dialysis machines
2) gotta keep the viagra somewhere
3) since they all get along now, I'll bet one night a week they'll need a place for board game night
4) save money on hotels - every night they'll head beck to the plane instead
Just a few reasons...

You bet 25 the states will turn out exactly like that? I will certainly take those odds.

I find it impossible to predict anything by state, but if he wins I think he will win big.
Why?
I think it's pretty obvious for say....60 percent of the states.
If you look at the last 10 elections, more than half of the states have voted consistently along a party line.
#4849 Re: The Garden » 270 to win 2016 Edition » 522 weeks ago
He will not win Wisconsin there's no chance. Wisconsin is weird because they have Scott Walker at governor. But Trump didn't even come close to winning the primary there. He is not well liked in Wisconsin.

It will be like 2008 with Obama. People creaming their jeans but when she gets in there and its same as it ever was, the arrogance starts to go down a few notches.
Also.....back when Obama was crucifying her eight years ago, some of the same people playing along with that are now fully supporting her.
I supported her over Obama
He blew his political capital early on, and didn't know how to handle republicans. He was in over his head, but I still like him. She won't be a deer in the headlights.
That's why I said some...not all.
He had a majority in both houses for two years and pissed it all away doing nothing but extending various Bush policies and executive orders and of course Obamacare.
She'll also keep those same trains running on time.
I don't know why you say nothing? There was a lot to do in that first year in office.
