Chicago--tops in election-related chaos since 1968.

Still, parade day tomorrow is gonna make that shit look like a box social.

In other news, I have a pretty good friend who was raped a few months ago and is still no where close to over it. If you would like to tell her this is the same, I'd be happy to give you her contact info.

Please, for the love of [x] tell me you didn't seriously just offer up a rape victim's personal details on a public fucking forum.

I'm sorry, I've seen some egregiously stupid and inexcusable shit in my day, but this eclipsed the whole of it.

I am quite literally nauseous after reading that. How in the actual fuck can a human being be so insipid and insensitive at the same time? And this is your "good friend"?

Fuck's sake man, how do you treat those who aren't your friends?

It's been pointed out that this thread is starting to veer into firing folks up territory. My post might have been considered inflammatory or otherwise partisan. Honestly, I want video of the freakshow that I'm sure will be outside and event like this but if I'm offending anyone or otherwise crossing the line I apologize and hope that the thread can continue to stay open and (somewhat) adult.

I can't imagine anyond being offended by this thread so far. Its been nothing but civil.

:shrug:
 
man, we are getting POUNDED here in ohio by the commercials. our primary is tuesday. the crazy thing is that everyone's adds are mostly about how they're gonna make things better. then there's Dump...errr.....Trump. his adds are nothing more than hate speech. i'm just sitting here shaking my head.
 
I have been glad the thread has been pretty civil. I get a little concerned that people that hold what I would call more traditional conservative beliefs, fiscally or otherwise, that are not necessarily aligned with some of the shenanigans of this campaign season may feel a bit offended. I myself held quite conservative fiscal beliefs at one time, coupled with very strong socially liberal beliefs. That did not mean that I agreed with everything a conservative candidate or elected official did or said. I would love the thread to continue in a respectful way, and would ask as the starter of the thread that people remember that others may hold different beliefs from their own, and that a person can hold those beliefs or views and not agree with everything that is going on right now. I hope I said that okay.

I would be more concerned if someone did agree with everything any single candidate did or said. I lean toward the conservative side of the isle and definitely don't want to be associated with any candidate or actually any party at this point. The system is an embarrassment. That said, I am not offended by this thread or anyone with a strong conviction either way. I don't agree with them but am not offended by them.
 
This will not end well.


Not the thread, that isn't an issue. I'm concerned that someone is going to get killed at a political event. It almost seems unavoidable at this point.

Thanks. Not having a TV and not listening to the radio helps a lot, but Facebook and my email have been a clusterfuck.
