Amen brother. My man Nixon would abuse Hillary 10 ways to Sunday, she wouldn't know what hit her. I mean in a political sense, of course. Nixon didn't mess around. True political genius.

You are a Husker Du fan and you are voting for Trump - head assplodes.
All my preconceptions have just warped into a mush of gruel that I will have to eat.

Ha - maybe you have hit upon a solution my writing problems with my Bacon chapter - I need to switch gears to indie punk to get me over the hump of structuring my argument.
I have been listening to 70s soft rock and getting nowhere beyond just re-writing my historical and critical context - I need punk to kick my ass into textual analysis mode.

I like that song by the way - long time since I have listened to anything beyond new day rising from husker du - takes me back more than 25 years when was listening to stuff like that regularly.

Husker Du was ****ing awesome. I'm sure they'd be Trumpsters. Candy Apple Grey their best album, I'm sure the purists will disagree.

as an aside, it's gonna be pretty tough to enforce the pool separations given canada's and new york city's opinions on the fluidity of gender!

abandon the Monolith. the articles had different authors -> different attitudes.

First Republican un-endorsement of Trump just arrived from Senator Mark Kirk:

"Given my military experience, Donald Trump does not have the temperament to command our military or our nuclear arsenal."

"I cannot and will not support my party's nominee for President"

I fully support Crumblin Down by John Mellencamp for Trump's new campaign song.

The man proposed dissolving NATO, for Pete's sake,

Spoiler:

the greatest military alliance in the history of the free world,

and one of America's final remaining vestiges of global hegemony,

but he never was one for making/keeping friends or understanding foreign policy, so perhaps I should not be surprised.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll taken Friday through Tuesday shows half of Trump supporters say the primary reason they are going to vote for him is "I don't want Hillary Clinton to win," while 41 percent of Clinton supporters cite their primary reason as not wanting Trump to win.
