Wait now, people fleeing death (i.e. - seeking amnesty) being granted citizenship are a ā€œmistake, maybe corruption,ā€ rather than the moral, humanitarian thing to do. Bloody hell, thatā€™s how it ends. No policy proposals from Trump. Even obviously Republican Chuck Todd (facial hair gives him away) called him out for serious floundering.

Maybe somewhere around Torontoā€¦ and your French probably sucks less than mine. On the other hand my mom the army brat has said the best way to learn a language is to live there.

Generally, there will continue to be more jobs in cars than planes. If staying in the States matters, progressive leaning folks tend to live in my county, when (not frequent this year) houses go on the market in my neighborhood are still reasonably priced, but going up.

The PBS panel seems to be unanimously (and heavily) critical of Trump-- his views and his performance.

Yeah, they do seem to be, which is a relief. ā€œSurrealā€ ā€œNot likely to win anyone but the base he already hasā€

Oh, crap, David Brooks. Yeah, might just be time for sleep after all. That dude can drop off the face of the Earth yesterday.

Post-debate spin now. Interviewer just asked if Trump really meant it when he said he was smart for not paying taxes. Trump denies that he said the thing he said on camera 20 minutes ago.

Yup! Mostly the shitshow I expected. Will make popcorn next time, because Iā€™m pretty sure Clinton will do even better on the next one.

Time Demographics in the United States [source]

  • American men [52%] are more likely to read this magazine compared to American women [48%].
  • The median age of someone who reads Time in the US: 50.
  • $77,926. Thatā€™s the median HHI for readers of this magazine when looking at American households.
  • About 75% of people in the US who read Time has either attended college or graduated with a degree.
  • 1 in 4 readers of this magazine hold a professional or managerial position.
  • 3 out of 8 households which say they read Time on a regular basis have a household income of $100,000 or more.

That fourth one has me concerned about the bias of this poll.

Yes, but so many missed opportunities to make Trump look exceedingly bad were passed over.

Iā€™m not sure itā€™s fair to expect him to. He canā€™t even manage keeping track of what heā€™s saying as it comes out of his mouth.
