because the parties can set it up that way." -Hunter Thompson
Thompson expanded on this theme in his book "Fear and Loathing: On The Campaign Trail '72."
That’s the real issue this time,” he said. “Beating Nixon. It’s hard to even guess how much damage those bastards will do if they get in for another four years.”
The reasons that people are the way they are are extremely important to some people. Nobody knows exactly why this is.
The Savvy Psychologist, Ellen Hendrikson, at Scientific American, has been asked to explain why some people are transgender.
Colin Kaepernick's decision to simply take a knee during the National Anthem to protest police violence caused much wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth by people who lack the ability to determine what is important in life.
Well, now those people have a whole new reason to throw a fit.
The problem with artful non-denial denials is that they can backfire and people can see the scurrying to cover asses. If Clinton's trustworthiness is a top issue, this response has not done anything to improve those numbers:

OK, so after years of (off and on) writing about High Speed Rail, I've finally been on a High Speed Rail train ... on the Beijing - Tianjin Intercity Railway.
Though I have to say that I went to Tianjin by Subway and High Speed Rail, given that substantially more time was spent en-route on subways than on the HSR ... given that Beijing South Railway Station to Tianjin Station is only 35-41 minutes (depending on whether there is a stop at Wuqing).
This is an extended argument from this comment I made a couple of days ago:
The only reason Homelessness has become such a huge problem is that American politicians at every level of government have unanimously decided on an "incarceration first" solution.
Alternate title: 'Lesser Of Two Evils' Voters, Are They Out Of Their Freaking Minds?!
The US is doomed unless people wake the fuck up. Neither Dems or Repubs are on your side if you are working class -- that's just a fact. But the 'Lesser Of Two Evils' voters, are going to vote for one of them, because they think it will be marginally less awful. But Hillary and the Donald are both Neo-liberals who will continue rigging the system against you. And the Libertarian Party is Neo-liberal too with a little sugar on top (like legalizing Pot, etc).

New tape surfaces of call between Trump and Priebus:
"Look Rience you weaselly faret face mother fucker I already told you, I will withdraw once I receive confirmation from my friend Vlad that you have deposited $100 million into my account in Moscow. Now get on it before I grab your balls."
Let's see, I've only got 4 weeks and I haven't settled how I'm going to vote for President of the United States of Amerika. The Empire. Rama lama ding dong.
