    You do realize that if he’s elected, he won’t be selling time-shares. :bergman:

    Better save the nude photos while you can, because they’ll be going Bye-bye.

    That's the mayor who held New York together during 9/11.

    Meanwhile, Gilbert Gottfried is going to sue Reince Priebus over copyright infringement on "most irritating public speaking voice."

    ETA: And Reince was followed by the cover band they picked up in the Howard Johnson's hotel bar.

    Yes he did. But he was a twat before and went right back to being a twat after, so what's your point?

    That I've been inspired to pursue a singing career by that cover band. Now I know what an REO Speedwagon song would sound like if a drunk Tom Petty impersonator did them. I can't hold a note but I'm already good enough to take the stage on the final night of the RNC convention. :)

    Go for it, boyo!

    Also, I heard that if you take yoga classes, you can get bendy enough to lick your own scrotum. I thought you might find that useful information.

    Your argument is compelling. I'm in favor of writing in Ivanka over Trump.

    Remember how the GOP called porn a "public health crisis"? They've been doing some further "research" on the subject at the convention.

    After 9/11, the sat phone company I worked for rented a phone to a Vanity Fair reporter who went to Afghanistan to cover the war. He burned through a couple thousand dollars worth of airtime in a single night. (At a cost of around $3/min.) Don't know what he was uploading or downloading but it tripped alerts in our office the next morning and we had to check with the folks at the magazine to make sure they were okay with it.

    Each psyop team was issued a sat phone in both Kosovo and Iraq. We mostly used them to call home without having to wait in line at MWR like the normal grunts. I never did find out how much that cost per minute but I am sure it wasn't cheap.

    Varies with the type of phone. It some cases it'd be as low as $1/min., others it'd be up to $5/min. And if you called a sat phone from a land line, you were looking at $10/min. or more.

    I should phone my doctor.

    I still have a raging boner from Trump's acceptance speech. Seriously, it's not going down!

    Ivanka's speech was great. She's gonna peel off female Democrats who are fed up with wage inequality.

    Donald is going for the jugular.
    I didn't know he could do that.

    And unlike Romney, who blithely wrote off about 47% of the electorate, I think Trump is going for every vote: Women, gays, Hispanics, blacks, Jews, Canadians,

    I actually think he did pretty good. That guy can pander with the best of them.

    There are definitely fewer republicans on the fence in terms of voting for him now than there were at the beginning of the convention.

    Meanwhile Hillary is making Pokemon jokes in a desperate attempt to resonate.

    Gonna be an interesting few months!

    CNN had a flash that several delegates were going to endorse Gary Johnson. Sadly they didn't report on whether it happened or not, or who was involved.

    You've got to give respect to milos - he's going to make a ton of cash manipulating people being one of those "shocking" political entertainment people - he's found a brand new niche to exploit, a formerly homophobic segment of society that has "gay guilt".

    The best part is he seems to be really enjoying the whole thing and the spectacle he's making of himself. A bulletproof vest, amazing.

    So @gturner what's your preferred fantasy - deepthroating Milos or taking it in the bum from him?

    Not answering the question denotes you prefer it in the bum. :bergman:

    A random person on Twitter is trying to explain to me that voting for anyone but Clinton is voting for Trump. Wish I were a better troll sometimes.
