I know it sounds melodramatic, but it literally hurts to watch that. I can't imagine being anyone other than a white guy and watching it.

“We’re really in a pussy generation. Everybody’s walking on eggshells. We see people accusing people of being racist and all kinds of stuff. When I grew up, those things weren’t called racist.”

“You know, he’s a racist now because he’s talked about this judge,” Eastwood said. “And yeah, it’s a dumb thing to say. I mean, to predicate your opinion on the fact that the guy was born to Mexican parents or something. He’s said a lot of dumb things. So have all of them. Both sides. But everybody—the press and everybody’s going, “Oh, well, that’s racist,” and they’re making a big hoodoo out of it. Just fucking get over it. It’s a sad time in history.”

Fed up with what he says is the governor’s failure to properly fund his overwhelmed office, the state’s lead public defender ordered Gov. Jay Nixon this week to represent a poor person in Cole County this month.

He's reached the point in his life where he's been playing tough guys so long he thinks he's a tough guy. Get over it, Clint. You're not Dirt Harry. You're a #$!&@ actor.

Another couple of weeks like this, and it goes from in jeopardy to not salvageable.

That's why I said earlier that the best possible outcome for the GOP at this point (other than Hillary having some major fuckup) is to have Trump drop out and Hillary essentially run unopposed, thereby depressing Dem turnout and preventing a down ticket massacre.

wouldnt it also suppress GOP turnout (the yahoos who wouldn't vote unless Trump was on the ticket)?
