The Politics Thread
I don't understand what's so difficult of putting a checkmark or X in the box beside the name, or even circling a name. Then you have a group of people (from each party) count the ballots manually. Is that so difficult?

I've only voted by paper ballots , so what are the reasons for voting by machines? With hackers, I'm always suspicious of manipulation.

Maybe it's too early for this, but I need hope. Does the Democratic Party have any good "prospects" for 2020? It would be poetic justice if it was a Hispanic who defeated Trump in 2020. What about Michelle Obama? Would she ever consider running? Trump winning shows you don't need experience.

I feel so sorry for you guys. 😥 Let's hope the next four years won't be as disastrous as we think it might be.

So with thenGOP having control of the Presidency, house and senate, can they pass any law they want? And when they a right wing leaning judge for the Surpreme Court, can Roe v Wade be repealed?

Too much positive news for Trump.

Same here, as an outsider looking in. Please, America, don't make the biggest political mistake ever by electing Trump.

The Walking Dead: Discussion Thread
Yeah, that was too much for me. I don't watch the show for gore either and I'm not a fan of torture porn. I hated Denny on Grey's Anatomy and I already hate JDM's character on this show. Denny almost destroyed Grey's for me and I could see Negan doing the same thing. With Glenn being killed off, what was the point of last season's "Is he really dead?" It's just seems so stupid now. The show is just so repetitive with its "Big Villain of the year" and there's just no end in sight. I really hope the 8th season will be its last.

This Is Us: Discussion Thread
Great first episode! I'm glad I didn't get spoiled on the twist. It looks like I found my Parenthood replacement - emotional family drama. Looking forward to see more of the family dynamics. I also like the little touches of humour. Dan Fogelman, who created Galavant, created this show. He also created the new drama Pitch on FOX but I'm glad he'll be showrunning This Is Us.

The Taylor Swift Thread
To me, this is a situation where the person who screams the loudest gets heard by the most people, especially if it's on social media where things can snowball. Taylor, for some reason, wasn't really upset about the "me and Taylor might have sex" lyric. When we heard them talking about that line, we don't know the context of their conversation, we don't know what was said before and after, so don't know what the initial pitch was. Was the tone of the song changed? Maybe. Even it was, I do think Taylor should've said no (no pun intended) to that line. It's gross either way. That wasn't the line she was most upset about. She was most upset about the line "I made that bitch famous" - which we don't see it being discussed. And that was what her Grammy speech was about. That's also very telling about her psyche, which I've always found interesting. Taylor never denied talking about the song, or talking about the "me and Taylor might have sex" lyric. There's a perception out there that she did that, but it's false. That footage is heavily edited and I do think context matters a lot. Just sharing pieces here and there to prove your point is wrong, IMO, so is taping someone without their knowledge. That's a serious violation. But since small pieces are out there, I would love hear the entire conversation. Will this hurt Taylor is in the long run? I doubt it. It's just a "celebrity feud" that the majority of people don't give a crap about. The people who hate her or love her will continue their ways.

Only the "psychotic fans" (every fan base has them) are mad. Not everything is "shade". Looking forward to the album! Hope it's better than the last one.

Netflix: Stranger Things
What an amazing series! I watched the first two episodes earlier this week and then binged the last 6 episodes last night. And now searching for interviews with the cast/crew and reading any article I can find. LOL The acting from the 5 pre-teens were very good - I think all of them have a bright future if they don't get caught up in bright lights and burn out. All of them had great chemistry and really liked watching their friendship. My favourite character was definitely Dustin - he's funny, smart, and a smart ass (in a good/funny way). I love the 80's aspect of the show, from the snyth background music, to the soundtrack, to the opening credits (I never once skipped over watching these credits, it's so cool). Really hope there's a season 2.

Obama's speech was just awesome! I'm going to miss him.

Loved Michelle Obama's speech, especially the part of the slaves building the White House and then watching her daughters play on the White House lawn. Amazing. I cringed at those people who shouted "You betrayed us" during Elizabeth Warren's speech. Sarah Silverman's quote about those Bern or Bust people was accurate.

I'm looking forward to the first real trailer though. This Comic Con footage was just showing a bunch of jokes - nothing to get too excited about.

According to Snopes, it's fake. The aftermath of Melania's speech has been hilarious, especially the Rick Astley part. lol
