Yeah, but the hassle it takes to get those chapters? I'll be content with a couple of sentences. Also probably the horror movie series it'll spawn that'll be driven into the ground after seven or eight sequels.
You know, before the injection.

Well I'd hate to deter anyone from chasing their dreams, but one more benefit of the genocide thing is you don't actually have to do any of the manual labor yourself. It's much less messy to have other people do the killing while you just sit in the bunker sipping bourbon and making motivational posters.
That monster in the mirror, he just might be you. -Grover
Then I have to share credit. You don't hear about the other actors with Booth, do you?

Fair enough.
While we're on the subject though, how many propaganda posters would you have to see made about a target before they were famous enough to be considered worthy of your time? Just in theory, of course.

I think once you've got propaganda posters you've got too much focus on you. It'd have to be someone just famous enough for people to recognize, but not famous enough for people to instantly know their name. Like a small state senator or an actor that's primarily on direct-to-video/Red Box/Scy-Fy Channel exclusive movies. Or, or someone that used to be huge but fell off the radar. Like, oh I don't know, Jim Carrey. No one would notice his disappearance, but once it came out it'd be pretty big news.
But to make it really history making, the act itself would have to be top shelf. Like, I don't know just spitballing and hypotheticalizing and totally have never thought about it, take a week to research the worst murders and combine aspects of them all into one (or a small spree's worth) of copy cats. I mean combining like Dahmer and Patterson Smith and whoever it was in Cleveland in the 30s.
Best thing from the DNC so far.

So maybe start by pushing an automobile down a hill into a Sci-Fi actor and escalate things from there?

I watched it. I also read the news articles it generated from everyone who was so supposedly sure that he was just joking.
Him rolling his eyes and saying in a obviously sarcastic voice that "well, I'm not sure it was the Russians, or the Chinese, or some fat kid on a couch, but... Hey... I've got an idea! Maybe it was the Russians. And maybe they have the 30 thousand emails Clinton erased too! And if they do, wouldn't that be interesting to read...", maybe was a big hint? You have to be dumb as dirt to not have immediately realized he was just having fun with the whole thing and taking it to deliberately ridiculous extremes. He was mocking Clinton for suggesting that he had anything to do with it. And she took the bait and doubled down on stupid.

But hey, super clever trap. Nothing like a days worth of stories about how you're encouraging foreign espionage, are deeply tied to Russian investment (despite your denials) and won't commit to assisting our Baltic NATO allies to show how you punked everyone. He tricked all those reporters into it with his obvious joke!
A days worth of stories about the Democrats failing to get that he was making fun of their gullibility and willingness to grasp at the most ridiculous claims to divert attention from their own actions, by doing it again, and again, and again. All the while making themselves look like idiots. And along the way, we're all watching Trump talking and not the Democrats. Think about it.
This is what I don't think you are getting. This is the same stuff Trump did in the primaries. He'd say something that seemed absurd, over the top, offensive, or whatever. He'd wait for his opposition to jump on it, and he'd get days of his face on TV, and a week of free media time doing interviews talking about how stupid and wrong those people who misunderstood him were. And they kept doing it because they assumed that at some point people would view Trump negatively for this, and we'd all return to a normal political process with that silly Trump business out of the way. I've been warning for a while now that Clinton can't make the same mistakes if she wants to win, but here she is doing exactly the same thing.

Apparently, if you are to believe a random person on the interwebz, the unity thing was achieved by making sure that there is no chance of CA making a ruckus. It was, apparently as well, relatively cheap. I have no idea how white noise machine looks like, but I am always amused at signs of forced unity ( I honestly do not think DNC leadership is that stupid ).

Joke or not, "deliberately ridiculous extremes" is usually not a behavioUr/style one wants in a candidate for President of these United States, amirite?

I don't believe that even you actually believe this.

By pretty much any measure, DNC was a better built event. Better speakers, better production, speeches praised by both ends of the spectrum, better message. No idea yet if it'll matter but it was four nights worth watching.

The best part of the GOP convention was Melania's speech, which was Michelle's.

Fourth Circuit Court finds North Carolina's new voter laws to be discriminatory and orders a halt to them.
Fourth Circuit Court wrote:
To be clear, our injunction does not freeze North Carolina election law in place as it is today. Neither the Fourteenth Amendment nor § 2 of the Voting Rights Act binds the State’s hands in such a way. The North Carolina legislature has authority under the Constitution to determine the “times, places, and manner†of its elections. U.S. Const. art. I § 4. In exercising that power, it cannot be that states must forever tip-toe around certain voting provisions disproportionately used by minorities. Our holding, and the injunction we issue pursuant to it, does not require that. If in the future the General Assembly finds that legitimate justifications counsel modification of its election laws, then the General Assembly can certainly so act. Of course, legitimate justifications do not include a desire to suppress African American voting strength.

It is beyond dispute that “voting is of the most fundamental significance under our constitutional structure.†Ill. State Bd. of Elections v. Socialist Workers Party, 440 U.S. 173, 184 (1979). For “[n]o right is more precious in a free country than that of having a voice in the election of those who make the laws under which, as good citizens, we must live. Other rights, even the most basic, are illusory if the right to vote is undermined.†Wesberry v. Sanders, 376 U.S. 1, 17 (1964). We thus take seriously, as the Constitution demands, any infringement on this right. We cannot ignore the record evidence that, because of race, the legislature enacted one of the largest restrictions of the franchise in modern North Carolina history. We therefore reverse the judgment of the district court. We remand the case for entry of an order enjoining the implementation of SL 2013-381’s photo ID requirement and changes to early voting, same-day registration, out-of-precinct voting, and preregistration.

Oh yeah, it's about time for old white people trying to cheat voting to claim they're trying to prove that other people are.

Given they're continuing the inhuman antiquated practice of making people go outside and wait in lines just to vote it's probably all a moot point.
Might as well be a 3rd world country.

Federal judge in Wisconsin overturns restrictions on early/absentee voting and a host of other voting restrictions. Guess it's a good day for voting.
