US Election 2016
To be fair to Clinton, her unfavorability is currently under 40%. Trump's is over 50%. If these numbers hold through November, he can't win the election.

US Election 2016
It's not exactly groundbreaking news that Hillary Clinton isn't the friendliest or most approachable person. It's been well documented from numerous first person sources. But then I've worked for or been coached by A-Holes who know what they're doing and I'd work/play with them again.

What's on the idiot box?
Agent Carter not renewed? But a spin-off starring the fired SHIELD agents is green-lit? The world makes no sense.

Getting it in the hole. Basketball 2K15-2K16
LOL. 2K Sports just gave up. Steph Curry will just have perfect ratings in every category in NBA 2K. Haha! I guess that's one way to solve the real Steph Curry is better than the video game Steoh Curry problem. http://m.bleacherreport.com/articles/2639329-under-armour-to-max-out-mvp-stephen-currys-nba-2k-rating-for-30-hours Ok...it's only 30 hours, but still...

When history repeats itself. #Dogs-doing-nazi-salutes
One is not charged with hate crime for thinking or saying something; instead, one is charged for the actual crime and it is designated as a hate crime if it is "against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender's bias against race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity."

In the U.S., I'll go with the FBI's definition of Hate Crime. https://m.fbi.gov/#https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/investigate/civilrights/hate_crimes/overview

Little did he realize 22 years and 100lbs later that he'd find himself greeted by an empty dugout after going yard for the first time.

Movies You've Seen Recently Thread
Civil War was not outright terrible like the previous Avengers movie, and I had a decent enough time...but as far as blockbuster spectacles go...I preferred Supes v Bats, The Force Awakens, and especially Fury Road far more.

What You Did Today
Bruce, there's obviously a vast gulf between what you think is appropriate and inappropriate between S.A. and the U.S and the realities. In the U.S., making such a post would potentially get you stigmatized and could get you all sort of grief in your personal life; potentially lose you your job (depending on the sector); and suffer through all sorts of harassment --emotional and physical. You'd probably need protection. However, you're not going to jail. First Amendment --free speech. You can be a racist jackass on Facebook, and suffer the consequence of posting it...but not go to jail. This dude was dumb --and knowing the situation in S.A. --he obviously should not have written it for obvious reasons. But to me, getting incarcerated for expressing unfiltered opinions (that are not threatening murder, crime, or the violent overthrow of government) is a violation of basic human rights in a free and open democracy.
