“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.”

With election day coming up, we need to keep this quote handy:

"The people have spoken…the bastards."
California state senate loser, and aid to RFK- Richard Tuck (1924 - 2018)

As we enter another election year, I am reminded that someone once said—this is probably not an exact quote and I can’t remember who said it anyway—“Politics ain’t bean bags. It’s a blood sport.” I was thinking about Dick Tuck the other day. He was a political consultant and a very good one. He...

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.'

My friend, Arwen, who is a Trump supporter, wrote,

Wrong again the real client list has never been released and if you live by those standards everyone would be guilty by association to a horrible crime of some sort. Your best friend could be a serial ki11er and you do not even know, does that automatically make you guilty because you hung out and have tons of calls between the two of you?
