I really don't anyhow. I have a pretty easy time not worrying about the talking heads.

I see these fuckers every day and I don't even live in the same quarter of the earth as the U.S

Imagine never posting about these assholes who feed on the attention.

Every time you see, hear or repeat something, you make another copy of it in your mind.

I know that "your brain is a computer" is a handy metaphor, but it really doesn't work that way. Your brain makes up all kinds of shit and then completely abandons it a couple of seconds later.

Unfortunately this is the one case where I gotta agree with the "voting doesn't change anything" crowd

Losing the first time around didn't stop the media from sacrificing the safety of the republic on the altar of the almighty horse race reporting, one more loss isn't gonna stop it either.

That shit isn't disappearing without significant voting reforms that consigns the Republicans to the loosely organized also rans that they actually are if you consider independent voters and non voters as additional parties.

I don’t think he’d have run again if he didn’t land a bunch of charges. He would have continued claiming he was defrauded, but I think he would have fucked off to his shitty club and played golf and run grifts.

When he got elected, people said "Oh, he'll get sick of it and resign in a few months." Then, when he didn't resign, they said, "Oh, well, he for sure won't run a second time", despite the fact that he never stopped campaigning, even while he was in office.

I'm not buying it. The guy loves being president. He loves the power, he loves the attention. He isn't going to just dry up and blow away.
