Just Post

This is borderline shitpost material, but I actually kind of like it so it goes here.

In general, Indiana is deep red.

I drove from the very my home just outside of of the mixed red/blue town of Terre Haute through very red Indiana counties to relatively nearby but not inside the mixed red/blue town of Bloomington (more blue than red there). In both cases, not in the towns, so essentially from Republican territory through Republican territory and ending in Republican territory.

I only saw three Harris signs, which didn't surprise me... but I only saw two Trump signs, one of which I know has been up for months.

Even houses with things like those stupid thin blue line flags on flagpoles didn't have Trump signs.

On top of that, neighbors of mine who I remember having Trump signs the last two times around do not have them this time. I live in a massive subdivision- probably 70 homes- and I have only seen one Trump sign while walking or driving through it.

Make of that what you will.

What's a good community to post things like these?

For the record, I'm a man whose name is not Annie and I don't even like yoga.

They invariably either say, “that’s my favorite” or “have you tried it yet? I keep wanting to.” I’m wondering if management is telling them to do it or something, but I'm not sure how it helps sales if I'm already buying it. It's really weird.

She's absolutely obsessed with dogs, especially our two dogs, especially Charlie, the little one. She could use some encouragement for schoolwork. A friend is giving her daughter temporary tattoos of her cat's face for when she has a bad day at little league and I thought that would be a cool similar thing to reward my daughter with when she gets a good grade. She already likes stickers. Now I'm going to figure out what kind of thing to display the stickers on.

In case you were wondering, StickerApp had an okay deal based on the ones I looked at and I know Sticker Mule has the horrible pro-Trump CEO. I hope I made a good choice.

You know how sometimes you see something that's really expensive, but you have to have it because you know it will look great on you?

This may have been the debate Donald Trump wanted, but it wasn't the one he needed.

With one last chance to make a pitch to the American public that he should be trusted with the presidency, the Republican nominee had to make efforts to expand his base of support.

He had to find a way to distance himself from the allegation that he has a history of sexual harassment.

He had to position himself as the change candidate - just days after a Fox poll showed that Hillary Clinton, whose party has held the presidency for eight years, was beating him on the question of who would "change the country for the better".

Instead, after roughly half an hour of something resembling an actual policy debate about the Supreme Court, gun rights, abortion and even immigration, the old Donald Trump - the one who constantly interrupted his opponent, sparred with the moderator and lashed out at enemies real and perceived - emerged.

He called Mrs Clinton a liar and a "nasty woman".

He said the women accusing him of sexual harassment bordering on assault were either attention-seekers or Clinton campaign stooges.

He said the media were "poisoning the minds" of the public. And, most notably, he refused to say whether he would accept the results of the election if he loses.

Mrs Clinton had her own moments where she was put on the defensive - on her emails, on the Clinton Foundation and on embarrassing details revealed in the Wikileaks hack.

The difference, however, is that Mrs Clinton largely kept her poise and successfully changed the topic back to subjects where she was more comfortable. It was, in fact, a master class in parry-and-strike debate strategy.

The key takeaway from this debate, however - the headline that Americans will wake up to read in the morning - will certainly be Mr Trump's refusal to back way from his "rigged" election claims.

That was what Mr Trump wanted to say, but it isn't something the American people - or American democracy - needed to hear.

Just thought everyone should get a whiff of the post-debate 2016 flava to temper the feeling that anything at all is "in the bag". Also - it's amazing, isn't it.
