There is true evil in the Trump Campaign.

Wow. Welcome to dictatorship if Trump gets elected.
This was red meat to his base, but again I wonder if the people NOT already in his camp will be well-impressed by this sort of threat, a threat that certainly crosses a line in the direction of subverting the law to punish a political rival.

Man, the bald-faced lies and dirty tricks flying around in this campaign are such that the late Lee Atwater, pioneer of the filthiest of dirty tricks, couldn't have dreamed them up on his best day.

welcome aboard. I am a sporadic member, here sometimes, others not so much. Most folks here are fairly reasonable.

For the last debate, I'd like to see a halftime show featuring Pussy Riot, and an Oscar Mayer commercial starring Anthony Weiner.

Make America Grope Again!

Hi, Chris. I actually forgot I'd joined up here. Then I was thinking, "Where can I go to share my pithy views on this 2016 freakshow that we're calling an election?" and I remembered. So here I am! Probably won't spend as much time here as I do at AK, but who knows?
