Do candidates usually announce their VP pick before the convention or after?

It's seems hard to believe that one guy could shoot 12 police officers.

Mike Ditka introducing Donald Trump would be great.

I definitively think it's the Participation trophies these kids get when they are 7. Pretty much ruins the lives of their whole families. Some people will say it's the crippling debt that some college kids face when they are done with school, but I say no way, it's the Participation trophies.

It can't be that difficult for a President to surround himself with such good people it helps break the gridlock. If I were President I'd say "f*** the world, f*** my party" and name whoever I thought was AWESOME Republican or Democrats. There are no true leaders anymore. Obama gets an F as a "leader" you all must agree. Bush gets an F; the older Bush gets an F; Reagan gets an A or B. Bill Clinton gets a B or C. Carter gets a B on the leadership scale. Hillary and Trump? LOL. They will be disasters on the leadership front. I actually think Trump will wind up getting impeached if he somehow wins (which he won't). Hillary probably won't get impeached but she will be one of the worst presidents ever and she won't get one thing fixed in our country. WHo the hell will the Republicans get to oppose her in five years? That will be the joke of all time. Nobody in their right mind will want to lose to the Queen. Will Hillary run unopposed? Maybe Romney will take one for the team and get crushed by Hillary in 2020. Reagan Reagan should get an A+. His leadership on foreign policy in Central America was super good. Not to mention his leadership during the beginning of the AIDS crisis. He is the best ever.

I'm jealous of people who can just strike up conversation with anyone like it's no big deal. My dad is like that. We went to dinner last Saturday and by the end of the meal, he knew the waiters whole life story. Where he was from and his whole family. I now know that this waiter was from Mexico, but his grandpa was actually from Italy. Also, his twin brother works in the kitchen and got him the job. He was teaching my dad how to say certain things in Spanish. I would have said hi and ordered my food. That's about it.

I am usually really awkward when I first meet people. It takes a while for me to open up to people. I have to go to a wedding on Saturday where I won't know one person. Super excited about that.

I generally stay away from any type of music festivals. That is usually one of the reasons why. That and sitting around for hours waiting for a good band to come on. Also too many people.

I've never been to Riot Fest before, but this is probably the year I will go. I hope The Specials are playing the same day as The Misfits.

Honestly, I have no idea what they are doing and I'm not sure they do either. So it's hard to speculate on what is going to happen. Hopefully have some better idea once Wonder Woman comes out. Things may also be changing now that different people are in charge.

Yeah, kinda. That Hulk movie just seemed so distant from the current Marvel universe. It was out 4 or 5 years before Avengers. I don't think they ever really talked about any of the events that happened in the Hulk movie.

Might be a nice change of pace to not have origin story movies. Some of these characters have been around since the 40's, everyone knows the story, just get to it. I don't think JL will be full of origin stories, but more like quick introductions to each character. Maybe like how Avengers introduced the Hulk in the first movie.

JL could be the origin story movie for all characters.

'Batman v. Superman' Fallout: Warner Bros. Shakes Up Executive Roles This is probably something DC should have done a while ago. I think it's a smart move to put Geoff Johns in charge. He's done a great job with the DC TV universe.

Ok, cool. Good talk.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ May 16, 2016 -> 08:46 AM) This one is particularly contentious on the Dem side. I think Bernie is a decent man, but his followers are desperate now that he won't be the candidate. I am seriously tired about hearing how crooked the DNC or Hillary is. I could say the same thing about Hillary supporters and then post 5 links to awful stories about Hillary supporters doing something stupid. Then someone could counter with a Bernie supporter doing some awful. Around and round we go. Just being proving my point.

I thought all the characters in Civil War were great. I think it really made the movie. Chris Evans at Captain America is the best adaption of a comic book hero that we have seen. Except Spider-Man. I thought he was annoying and that putting him in the movie just felt like an advertisement. Also feels like he is getting younger every movie. Can't wait for the 7 year old wise cracking Spider-Kid.

This is the election of people complaining about candidate supporters. Every time someone does something crazy it has to be a reflection of that candidates whole base. Maybe every election is like that and I just never noticed.

QUOTE (farmteam @ May 12, 2016 -> 11:44 PM) I'm still pissed I didn't make it to that show. And Lucero opened! Hold Steady too I think. You reading Trouble Boys? It's great. Yeah, Hold Steady and Lucero opened. Hold Steady might have actually been the best band that night. My brother is reading Trouble Boys, so when he's done I'm going to read it. That band just seemed to be off the rails at all times.

The Replacements up in Minneapolis in 2014 was by far the best reunion show I've ever seen. I know that band reunions can be bad and often times disappoint, but it's hard not to get excited when you first hear about them.

I'm really surprised that is happening. Riot Fest must have thrown a ton of cash at them. I always had the impression that Danzig and Jerry Only really hated each other. Not like normal former band member hate, but like they really despise each other type stuff.

Lmao. Vote Hillary, it could be worse!

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ May 11, 2016 -> 08:20 AM) While I am no fan of Trump, let's not act like his supporters are the only nut jobs supporting stupid conspiracy theories. A whole bunch of left wing democrats believe Bush was at the very least complicit in 9/11 A whole bunch? I would bet it was less than 1%.
