Oh, Bill. Arguably the main reason Trump got this far is because the media gave him an overwhelming share of media news cycles. There is no media slant against this imbecile. Of course, the attention was largely because he’s a clown, and everyone wants to watch a car wreck, but that’s pretty obvious to anyone with…

Anyone who talks about holding their nose and supporting anyone needs to check in with the reality of electoral politics. If everyone voted for their perfect candidate, you would have 300 million write-in candidates, or thereabouts.
I’m going to rant, pointlessly, in the greys. Do you hate the system? Do you want to change things? Then get involved in local government. Hell, get involved with the party you most agree with, and change it. Don’t make a vague plan to vote for the perfect thing that will be just the best, once you come up with it.
For the “holding your nose” contingent, has there ever been a major party nominee for President who you were excited to vote for because of their proposed policies?
Listen. I completely agree. It is plausible. 100%. If Jones had NEVER had any issues with being a drug user or an asshole, I would be much more inclined to believe him. But his track record does not help his story at all.
You are probably thinking of Mark Helprin - different guy. I’ve only read one of his books - Winter’s Tale - but I actually quite liked it.
Have you even opened a newspaper (figuratively, or more rather a website) in the past couple years?

Yeah, describing people as being a particular celebrity’s “type” isn’t terribly helpful. (“Looking for women that would remind Paul Giamatti of his college girlfriend, but in a pleasantly melancholic way (because of how that relationship started), not a bitter way (because of how it ended). Some nudity required.”)
Just before the final out, my 95 year old grampa, veteran of two wars, cancer survivor, and long-suffering cubs fan, pulled me aside and, with a tear forming in his steel grey eyes, said, “The blacks ruined this neighborhood and your sister dresses like a whore.” This was for him.
the Indians never quite threatened, but they constantly threatened to threaten
I really hate to defend that suit and shoes combo, but the colors are fine.
Cam: “Hey, can you please start enforcing the rules you’ve created?”
Peter Singer is the hate watch of philosophers. Like utilitarianism’s version of The Batchlor. You just want to smack his smug mug.
If you’d read the article instead of cherry picking, you’d see that the 5% isn’t spread evenly across all the rides, but rather is from “a few bad actors” who literally take women for a ride, up to five times as long. Wow! 500%! That’s a lot!
Even if you put a shoulder in the chest, the the head is going to snap forward and the brain is going to slosh around.
What are you talking about? Bussing people to polls is neither tampering nor illegal. It’s always been done by both parties, mainly to accommodate transportation for large groups of people to exercise their right to vote - particularly in areas where their voting precincts are inconveniently located.
“It occurs all over the place, sadly.”
