Hunter S. Thompson, one of the great literary statesmen America's ever had.![]()
“NOT EVERYBODY is comfortable with the idea that politics is a guilty addiction. But it is. They are addicts, and they are guilty and they do lie and cheat and steal—like all junkies. And when they get in a frenzy, they will sacrifice anything and anybody to feed their cruel and stupid habit, and there is no cure for it.”
Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
Yeah, sort of a general catch-all thread; we also have plenty of specific politics threads in this section to read and discuss as well.So , this thread is for politics and government correct?
Didn't HL Mencken say something similar, Doc?"The people have spoken…the bastards."

You know why they always bring Epstein up?
Because its' been a long-held secret that both sides had people visit the late financier and pedophile over the years and thus there's a moral/social 'mutually assured destruction' at play whereby if you go after one side, their first argument @FallandPray is 'either go after the ones on your side who saw Epstein - like Bill Clinton, for instance - or don't go after anyone and damn them all.'
Is there anyone here that supports Kamala Harris?
I'd be here all day with reasons/evidence why I support Kamala Harris....Those who support Harris, tell me why and provide evidence.
I'll be on the side supporting inclusion, sanity, the rule of law and the preservation of democratic institutions; that said, I stand with Harris.In recent days, the Republican nominee for president of the United States has driven around in circles in a garbage truck, pretended to work at McDonald’s and presided over a rally in which Puerto Rico was called a floating island of garbage.
Outrageous, of course – but then it got worse. On Thursday, talking on stage with Tucker Carlson in Arizona, Donald Trump went after the former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney, who opposes his re-election and has campaigned with Kamala Harris: “Let’s put her with a rifle with nine barrels shooting at her. Let’s see how she feels about it when the guns are trained on her face.”
Cheney characterized this as “how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death.”
Meanwhile, in the final days of her campaign, Harris continued to call for unity, progress and inclusion. In a sweeping speech at the Ellipse in Washington DC before a huge and appreciative crowd, she warned of Americans losing their fundamental freedoms if they submit to the will of the “petty tyrant” mentioned above.
With only a few days left of this exhausting campaign, the candidates’ closing statements could not be more different. There’s violent, hateful rhetoric and threats of retribution from one side. There’s inclusion, sanity and promises of good will on the other. Autocracy on the one hand; the preservation of democracy on the other.
I'm in AZ, not quite the coast, and if you need to know why I can't support someone that openly hates people like me, well...
I included you on that; yes, I know Arizona's not exactly on the Pacific Coast....I'm in AZ, not quite the coast
I recently had to hang up on a relative who'd helped me for years over the election; I couldn't get her to see reality and leave Trump so....and if you need to know why I can't support someone that openly hates people like me, well...
