I remember in 3rd grade when we had centers...and our classroom got four computers and the teacher added computers to our center time. It was second only to this:

I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
My parents had an electric typewriter, but schools had Apple computers in Elementary. Then around 3rd grade my parents purchased a 486 with Windows 3.1 and a dot matrix printer. So all of my typed stuff was done on that.
You could buy like 7 modern desktop computers without monitors for the price of that one, not adjusting for inflation... crazy looking back.
Wow, I guess my parents had money before the first construction bust.
Yay new thread!

The prank was on the Cleveland fans who thought they had a shot at beating the Warriors in this series.
Why would anyone give money to Trump? Might as well just light it on fire.
The donors have never been behind Trump at any point, but it hasn't mattered. The party can't dump him now, the bigger question is what happens after the election.

After Trump loses this November the GOP will go into full blame mode and turn on its base. This will lead to a Tea Party like movement, which will mostly feature white nationalist but will call itself something like Literalists to get mask themselves. They'll primary on the state level and win some seats.
If that new movement can help the GOP win the midterms it will be assimilated. If they lose the midterms they are proper fucked.

Trump will give them the excuse to avoid self reflection for another cycle.
Who do they have for 2020, though?

Sasse, Ryan, Haley, Cruz will try again.
The same people they had this cycle. They'll pretend that Trump was the only reason they didn't win.

Let's dispel with this fiction that Rubio knows what he's doing.
This is precisely why he's guaranteed to run again.

Really? The 'selfish millennials' trope? Even as an X'er, I had a better future with less debt than millennials do. Boomers were even more 'selfish'.
You are deluded.

That Trump rally was a bit, empty no?
Edit: Fuck, it was pretty empty. It filled a little bit after the picture, but still.
Romney retreat puts spotlight on Trump's fund-raising problem in critical stretch
He will only start the small funds operation AFTER the convention.
He is so fucked.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Trump doesn't need a ground game; he's got Twitter.
It's pretty funny to consider the effect on Trump's campaign if Twitter actually banned him.

If I may put on my Donald J Trump mask for a moment:
"What are those towel heads and wet backs going on about. I can't be racist because I love the blacks."

I can't believe Romney, of all people, would use such a great term to describe the impact a candidate could have, about a GOP candidate no less.
But isn't this the case of "chicken and the egg"? How could Trump rise to that position if there wasn't a big swell of racism to support his rise?

So I had a dream about Queen Hillary last night and from it actually came the first joke for the WHCD next year.
"Members of the press, distinguished colleagues, etc., thank you so much for having me here tonight. I almost couldn't make it-- the invitation was in my email but I deleted it."
*crowd erupts*
"And I murdered Vince Foster!"

Only time I'll agree with Romney that something does in fact trickle down
R Money said:
It''s great to finally see a Republican talking about a trickle-down theory that might actually be correct.
I don't know if Trump would have a panic attack if Twitter banned him, but he'd probably stroke out in a fit of rage when the reason for his ban was given as "Twitter is concerned about Mr. Trump's welfare, given that his incessant Tweeting must be a terrible strain on his tiny hands."

Is Rubio up for it again? I think Trump broke him.
I assume he'll just hold his corner of the rest of eternity.

This is the kind of stuff that really gets me going. There's so many fascinating things highlighted in here.
Donald Trump says that you are at least as racist as he is.
I NEED gender role parodying at the next WHCD speech.
*jokes about Hillary by speaker* -> "and Bill, Bill is looking as beautiful as ever. His hair and suit are just lovely."

That would be the most compelling thing he had ever said. You should apply for his Twitter job.
And, he has a perspective problem. Maybe should see an eye doctor. Everything is huge, his hands, his skin, his buildings.
Maybe he just needs lasix.

These still exist. My kids are in 1st and 3rd grade in a fairly nice school in the Northern VA suburbs, but, at their after school care program, they use these to show the huge library of Disney VHSs the school has had stocked for 25 years.
I love really old typewriters - my mom and my grandparents have older vintage typewriters with the really long-throw keys, and when i was a kid we had an electric one that I used for a few papers before we got our 286 with a dot matrix printer - but I've been typing on computer keyboards so long at this point that I type too fast for them and am always locking the arms up. I've never had the opportunity to use one of the awesome IBM Selectric typewriters with the ball mechanism though.
The closest I get to a typewriter-like thing nowadays is my Alphasmart Neo.
