Apparently, Miller had some serious problems that he’s been dealing with.

I give the guy who created Martha Washington a lot of leeway.

You picked the wrong guy to ask.

One of the biggest mind fuck novels I ever read was "The Iron Dream’ by Norman Spinrad.

On one level it’s a ‘hero’s journey’ story about an exiled prince who returns to his homeland and defeats a bunch of evil mind controlling wizards. Lots of excitement and adventure and terrific battles.

The fucked up part is that it’s the last novel Adolph Hitler wrote after migrating to America in 1921.

Hitler was a popular illustrator who eventually felt confident enough to start writing in English. He was a popular figure at conventions and had a huge fandom.

People like this are either very privileged or incredibly masochistic.

They seem to get a pleasure out of watching everything go down the toilet while screaming about how they were right all along.

So, you had a chance to get a Left leaning pol elected, and threw it away because he wasn’t perfect?

What am I missing here?

Worrying about the police is putting the cart before the horse.

We need to vote and change the laws.

Sometimes I feel the need to quote from the greatest thinkers. And other times I fee like I should quote comedians.

Richard Pryor once filmed a movie in a prison. Afterwards he talked about his experience of listening to the prisoners and hearing their stories.

His conclusion was that he was really happy there were prisons.

What does that even mean?

The Vikings let people go out and raid other villages but drew the line at murdering your neighbor. It that what you’re going on about? You think any one who wants should be able to have their own army?

All societies use some form of violence to control people.

Even the Amish ‘shun’ the malefactors.

So, it was a coup?

And your question is completely silly. Jack the Ripper didn’t attack every single night; does that mean he wasn’t a killer?

Treason is funny; it only takes one single instance to mark a fellow for life.

I guess it was too long a read.

One third of the Senate and all of the House of Representatives are elected every two years.

So, I take it that you consider the January 6 coup a case of mild hijinx that hardly had any fatalities?

Obviously you learned nothing.

Socialists failed to get the vote out for Bernie, even when they knew it would be an uphill fight.

Now they are failing again.

I wish I had the privilege of being safe enough not to have to worry about Trump deputizing a bunch of Red Hats and doing mass arrests.

tl, dr = Congress is elected every two years.

Exactly, if Harris wins there will be another election in two years.

If Trump wins, that’s not a guarantee

If you haven’t seen it, ‘The Wild Bunch’ with William Holden is a great ride.

Belize. Tiny country next to Mexico and Guatemala. I was there in August for scuba diving. Population under 200,000.

It’s British Commonwealth so everyone speaks English; has Mayan ruins and extensive caves; it’s next to the second largest reef system in the world and has fantastic scuba diving.
