Okay its one thing when people change avatars, that's upsetting. When you have the exact same avatar as another poster, that is unacceptable. Please remedy this situation.
It was an epic duel in the area after Pontiff Sulyvahn's bonfire, myself and SourShoes. He pulls a spell/melee combo the gets me with all attacks. My hp is nothing but a pixel left. He charges with his ultra greatsword's weapon art but I roll out of the way and then backstab him. His health is now a sliver. We both trade near misses for 5 minutes straight while kiting each other. He rolls but I predict parry his rolling attack and end him rightly in dramatic fashion. I absorbed his soul that night. He became me and I became him.

I changed my name to match my name everywhere else.

Your.
Party.
Nominated.
Trump.

Not only that but from the look of it most of the party has fallen in line. I've got more respect for Romney and the Bushes, who have said they won't be voting Trump, than I do for the average Republican right now. At least they can see what Trump represents and the sort of damage it can and will do to the nation and their party if he g we asets elected. He's doing enough damage as the nominee.

SPILL THAT TEA

The nomination of Trump (and subsequent falling in line) has shattered every argument that the Republican party is not the party of hate.

And if that makes you mad, then frankly it should.
 
You're giving Gingrich too much credit here.

Nah, Newt is a crass huckster, but he is an intelligent crass huckster.

So, I'm listening to Dana Loesch on youtube and she is making some very sound and solid arguments on pro-gun. I can't say I agree with everything and I haven't fact checked it, but I find it a little bizarre that I'm finding myself agreeing with her more often than not. Except for not wanting any change to our background check right now, I think her position is strong and convincing.

Anyone familiar with her?



IMO it is not a good thing when Donald Trump criticizes you and he's mostly right. I hope he loses his seat in the senate this November. Floridians, please.

Looking her up, she seems like a pretty typical GOP pundit.

Wikipedia said:
On Thursday, January 12, 2012, Loesch spoke on her show in defense of U.S. Marines videotaped urinating on the corpses of dead Taliban fighters, commenting that "I'd drop trou and do it, too. That's me though. I want a million cool points for these guys (Marines). Is that harsh to say?"

Witchcraft.......I didn't know you could do that. Glad your picture remained consistent I appreciate that.

Also Rubio endorsed trump. Kinda puts the lie to his credibility.
 
Just heard an ad in GTA V talking about how unions protect lazy workers and that's why you should join one and gave major side eye to the game.

I don't think game studios with employees that work 80 hours a week are able to criticize unions without coming off as ridiculous, lol.

I might as well throw this out there -- is it possible for a modern, pluralistic democracy to exist without secularism? De Valera's Ireland comes to mind.

I think it's more that it's a British studio trying to imitate what an American radio show would say. That's one of the weird parts of GTA, it's foreigners satirizing America and often going for the easy joke.

I still wonder what Goblet of Fire would have been like if Cuaron had directed. I still enjoyed the movie though, although it needed a better director and to be broken up into 2 movies.
 
I actually liked Goblet (the film) but that's only because I don't like the book. Except for the Graveyard scene when my bae gets his body back. I pretty much skim read the rest of the book.

Edit: I don't hate the book, but it is my least favorite.

Do we have a list of speakers for the GOP yet? Or are we going in blind?

That NYT article with the leaked list from a couple of days ago was accurate, even though Tim Tebow backed away and called it a rumor.

They have the list on the official RNC website, but it's not formatted very well, so I found a better one:

Rep. Chris Collins (R-N.Y.)
Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.)
Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa)
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.)
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.)
Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.V.)

Other political leaders:

RNC Chairman Reince Priebus
former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich
Gov. Chris Christie (R-N.J.)
Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R-Ark.)
Gov. Mary Fallin (R-Okla.)
Gov. Rick Scott (R-Fla.)

wife Melania Trump
son Donald Trump Jr.

I dunno, the whole using a couple guys from Benghazi for political points seems like a terrible idea. The NRA commercial is absolutely terrible.

Alright, there we go.

I pretty much like all of the HP films except Goblet. God that movie suuuucks.

Goblet was so bad, even having read the book I was like... lost a lot of the time. I can't imagine if you hadn't read the book

Peter Thiel says that giving women the right to vote ruined America fyi.

Peter Thiel's greatest contribution is the parody character Peter Gregory based on him on Silicon Valley. RIP that amazing actor

Thiel is kinda horrible though

Nothing worse and more confounding than talking to another trans person who supports Trump on another site.


Also I'm late but what is happening in Turkey is crazy.

I imagine that Ben Carson will be the final speaker of the night. He will read the nation a bedtime story to lull us all to sleep. Putting him anywhere other than the last speaker is a mistake. Most boring motherfucker ever. Probably didn't even need anesthetic when operating on patients. Just explained the procedure and by the time he was done, they were ready to be cut open on the table.

Thinking about going to a 12:45 showing of Ghostbusters in about an hour.

I feel like Reuters is at risk of throwing off the polling aggregates.

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box...l-clinton-leads-trump-by-12-points-nationally

Hillary Clinton maintains a double-digit lead over Donald Trump nationwide as Republicans prepare to crown him their nominee at next week's convention, according to a Friday poll.

The weekly Reuters/Ipsos poll found that Clinton has the support of 45 percent of likely voters to Trump's 33 percent. Other polling from this week puts the general election as a closer contest, with a recent New York Times/CBS News survey showing the two candidates tied at 40 percent.

The GOP convention kicks off on Monday, with the Democratic convention convening the following week.

The Reuters poll surveyed 1,186 likely voters from July 11-15 and has a credibility interval of 3 percentage points.

I still wonder what all the HP films would've been if Terry Gilliam got to direct them all.
