OK, I just fell over this: http://www.rollingstone.com/tv...ery-bad-week-w444044
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did...and henceforth, the word "apologize" shall be pronounced thusly.
Don't know if you have seen this Lori, it's in two parts and *strong language* ...but she doesn't hold back 
^^ she missed a few words 
in her monologue.

"Mary" and "Frou Frou" come to mind
A good piece though.

THAT was aMAZing. I think I love Samantha Bee. Thanks for showing me that. Now I have to go find all the videos of her that are available.

It'd be ok with me if his supporters waited until November 28th.

Holy cow! Just what will it take for voters to realise he's unsuitable for the job? 
I don't know, Xochi, his followers seem to look at everything that he does through some sort of filter--they can excuse anything. 
They've got tunnel vision Lori, a bit like what's happening here

Soft focus.
Mind you she's a bag of horrors too.
Entitlement. By Dior.
Zackly! she's no angel either but Trump? Really?
Actually, I get the feeling with him, it'll be like Brexit here......oh hell, we've won....what do we do now?
Did you hear that Gary Johnson didn't even know what "Aleppo" is??

Hi Judith! Nice to see you about! 
velvet donkey posted:Yep.
That's gotta be a winner in context.
It really is something though Lori when it's the lowest common denominator. You have my sympathies whilst the world looks on.
Yep, exactly.
Hope you guys are all enjoying the entertainment.

Yeah: I saw that. The interviewer's response - a deadpan "You're kidding." - was putting it mildly, IMO...
[Edit]
As an aside: I'm catching up with the first show in the new series of "No such thing as the news", and they've just mentioned something I wondered about during the Gary Johnson gaff.
According to Merriam-Webster, one of the most searched-for terms in their online dictionary during the second presidential debate was the non-existent word 'lepo' - as in: "What is a 'lepo'?"

Note that more people are looking up 'lepo-' (as in, "what's a lepo?") than 'Aleppo'. #debate

I refer you to my previous post regarding the last Presidential debate, Lori.
I can assure you I'm finding nothing remotely entertaining about the whole sorry mess.

I think it's to some extent less to do with support for Trump and more to do with the almost insane levels of hatred towards Hillary Clinton in some quarters. You do get the feeling that some would consider voting for Charles Manson if it meant keeping her out of the White House. 
Interesting (though also slightly disturbing) article today on the BBC News site about this (although it goes on to criticize both sides):
The dark depths of hatred for Hillary Clinton
In Mercieca's view, the rhetoric of this election has gone dangerously far.
"When we treat politics like sport or war, then we treat ourselves as fans or soldiers, cheering or booing or following orders," she says.
"When we treat politics like that, then those who hold differing views from us are not wrong, they are evil. They are not mistaken, they are enemies."
I agree that it's a lot more polarized than any Presidential election I remember...the anger and hatred seem to be more on the Trump side, though, and he spins them up every chance he gets. Who knows WHAT will happen??
Lori posted:Yep, exactly.

You have my sympathies Lori, the rhetoric from our government isn't much better concerning foreigners than Trump's, added to which you also have the disgusting thoughts/behavior of a man who wants to be President
Trump is on the ropes now.......down and out for the count before too long I believe and hope

They've (female supporters apparently) just said, effectively, 'come on guys, what's all the fuss about? It's not as if he's running for Pope.'
Final debate: Las Vegas Thursday.
It's all to play for...
Just to be clear, the final debate is tonight/early Thursday morning. 2.00 am Thursday. Should be fun!
Have I mentioned that my eyes are tired of the continuous rolling? Feels like they've been rolling for more than a year, now...
