I don't even want to be anyplace where neo-nazis are welcome.
Then you probably need to leave the United States. Believe me, I take no pleasure in saying that.
I left a long time ago, but I understand what you're saying. It's pretty sad, really.

Britain had a referendum to leave the EU, the Prime Minister resigned and a new PM was elected all in less than a month. The American election started 16 months ago, people started voting five months ago, the next president won't be elected for another 4 months and won't take office until January 2017. And now Britain has 2 female PMs long before the United States even has 1 female president.

And those who constantly vote against raising minimum wage wonder why the crime rate is so high and our law enforcement officers are so stressed. Look at the buying power of minimum wage when The Beatles were together compared to the relative buying power of minimum wage now. http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0774473.html DUMP... THE RUMP!

I don't know why people are complaining about Melania Trump ripping off Michelle Obama. It could have been worse. She could have copied one of her husband's speeches.

Ghostwriter of Art Of The Deal describes Trump as a Sociopath after he got to know him. "In the lengthy tell-all, Schwartz details the man he got to know over an 18-month period--a man he describes as a liar, "sociopath," and "one-dimensional blowhard" who has an 'insatiable hunger for "money, praise, and celebrity."' In other words, he feels Trump is wholly unfit to be president." http://townhall.com/tipsheet/leahbarkoukis/2016/07/19/trumps-ghostwriter-if-i-were-writing-art-of-the-deal-today-itd-be-called-the-sociopath-n2194365

They have been given many cease and desists from Rock musicians, but they keep on using their music. They are trying to create this illusion that they are democratic and liberal minded, so as to deceive people into voting for them.

They also used The Rolling Stones' recording of YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT. One problem, ABKCO Music "OWNS" the recording and publishing. The Rolling Stones has diddley squat with prohibiting say in refusing to use their music.

So, Trump is going to "make America rich again"
You might ask the 1,000 employees of his former business who are on strike about that. "The workers lost many of their benefits during bankruptcy proceedings in 2014, including company-sponsored health coverage, pension contributions and paid lunch breaks, according to the workers' union, Unite Here Local 54. Many senior workers say their hourly wages have barely risen, if at all, during the Taj's turbulent last decade. And the housekeepers like Patel say their workload has increased despite having the same wages and fewer benefits as before. The average pay for the workers is around $12 an hour, according to the union." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/workers-at-the-trump-taj-mahal-are-still-on-strike_us_577c1f76e4b0416464110018 Hasn't he been involved in at least 4 bankruptcies? And, the employees always get the worst end of the... "Art Of The Deal"
Sad Indeed!

If the RNC had used "Beware Of Darness" I don't think Olivia would have objected.

I will not vote for Trump. For many reasons. Every time I hear Trump speak I think of Germany 1937, and Adolph Hitler. Trump is an isolationist. Look what happened when Hitler took over with his Nationalistic Propaganda. World War II. Found Elton John's quote on Trump. "I fear for the World globally with the AIDS situation. If Donald Trump gets to be President, he will marginalize people. He is already doing it." Sir Elton John

Billionaire Mark Cuban recently said that at first (without knowing anything about him) that he might be a change. But then that all changed when, "He opened his mouth!". Asked what other billionaires thought about him, he said, "We voted him out!".

"George Harrison's estate is furious "Here Comes the Sun" was used for Ivanka's big entrance. They say, "The unauthorized use of #HereComestheSun at the #RNCinCLE is offensive and against the wishes of the George Harrison Estate." The statement goes on, "If it had been Beware of Darkness, then we MAY have approved it! #TrumpYourself." Point made."
