I've also been surprised how many of them they are. They are EVERYWHERE. I always thought they were mostly located in my neighborhood and state, but now I'm seeing they're very well represented throughout the country.

Also too a comms (communications team, a.k.a. public relations) team is there to help you the politician present yourself well in public. So that you don’t for instance come across like a fucking nutbar. They’re not your private police to draw up a shit list of people who say mean things to you. And as for threats, you would have a staffer do that. Gather them all up and send them to the FBI. Not the comms team. She is such a bozo. How did she come to even run?

I'm hoping Trump has convinced a lot of them that it's not worth voting, since it's all "rigged."

But "with Trump, you never know," Watkins said. "He may say, 'I want the guy with the horns.' Next thing you know, maybe he's represented by the shaman instead of Rudy Giuliani."

CAN WE MAKE THIS HAPPEN?? I would pay good money to make this happen.

The unfortunate, dark truth is that overthrowing a government and assassinating rival political figures is only treason if it fails. I mean, sure, we can agree to the illegitimacy of governments like Hilter's and Franco's after they fall, but while they were in control, everyone else treated them like they were legitimate.

We dodged a major bullet last week, and I'll be holding my proverbial nuts, bracing for the worst, all through the next week.

I am sick of these people saying they are disenfranchised. They aren't. They got to vote as much as I did. Their guy lost. That's not disenfranchisement; that's how shit works.

I bet the stupid ass didnt even vote. Too high at the time.

Well, I played D&D for 8 years (in the 70s) and we all pronounced it sha-mon. But we would play while on acid so, maybe, we weren't paying much attention.

Heh. Pretty sure Robyn meant to type UNlikely but it makes it all the funnier: "Watkins admitted that a pardon was likely..."

Can we please take away all of their rights since they have already admitted that they can't take responsibility for their own choices?

I guarantee that bullshit "Tubb"erville pronunciation doesn't go further back than one generation. It's "Toob"erville-- c'mon man. Seriously.
