I'll predict today that the ultimate winners of the next election will be the political consulting and marketing firms.
I think 24/7 news sites will take in more, not only do they have huge ad revenues (with bidding wars for prime time ad slots) from the candidates they also get a tremendous bump in viewership..
Weird how politicians are so low on this list. Most Republicans polled trust Trump more than their spouse.

Probably because they'll run out of money.
Sir, are you suggesting running for president is a money game!?
Glad we have so long to get it in. Holidays are a crazy time to put out 10k words! Interesting premise too. Been kicking around an idea for a while that hasn’t quite found a home. Think it could be modified to work for this.
Good luck all!

Was Stein’s 3rd party candidacy a significant factor in Clinton’s loss to Trump? More to the point, assuming Stein, Kennedy and West remain candidates, how damaging will they be to Biden?
The most significant factor in Clinton’s loss was being a legitimately terrible candidate and treating the entire election as a formality. Low energy campaigning despite constant polling showing that Trump had a fanatic support and hers was luke warm at best.
It’s part of the long running tradition in the Democrat party of hand picking the presidential candidate beforehand. Everyone seems to forget the controversy during the primaries where hacked emails revealed the Dem leadership was doing everything they could to ice out Sanders and push Clinton down our throats. The chairman of the democrats and several higher ups resigned. The transparent manipulation of the nomination process lost Clinton more votes than any third party candidate.
Screwball peanut butter whiskey, 99 proof cream liquor, and root beer. Tastes like a pb cup. Wobbly on my feet after 2 of em’.
Alison Bechdel has stated many times the test is more of a tongue and cheek observation about media and not something that should be taken seriously.
I would say that goes double for erotica, many stories here only have two characters at all.
Performative enjoyment. Like they think they are in a bad porno.
Good question, I’ll pass it forward to the next person as well.
Nope, I think we were designed to be omnivores and I’ll avoid my rant about the environmental impact of veganism. Short form is as I don’t think there’s anything morally wrong about eating meat and the impact for a balanced vegan diet isn’t good there’s no reason to. That being said people eat way too much meat. I have generally 4-10oz of protein a day. That’s incredibly low compared to most Americans. A balanced and locally sourced diet is the way to go in my opinion.
Do you ever eat game or hunted meat as opposed to farmed?
Generally once a day. Live with someone with enemia (sp?) so I normally have a meat based protein in one meal per day. Some days we skip. I do try and stick with local meats and we have one vegetarian say a week.
Would you join do a ‘meatless’ day once a week to lower pollution?
It’s actually just reinstating the policies it had in place before Trump and the Republicans slashed the IRS budget.
The IRS budget is about the only government program that makes more money the more you put into it, simply because it takes time and money to get the rich to pay taxes.
Both parties will oppose it because both are puppets of the rich but they actually need real deterrent penalties for cheating on you taxes when your rich. A guy shoplifting $100 of merchandise is likely to get more jail time if caught than some guy trying to bail on millions of tax debt. Aggressive financial and jail penalties for the uber rich, you find after a few years of that the tax revenue will flow in.
I mean, Manchin was a coal baron who fought against unions, environmental protections, and civil rights. He was functionally a Republican, just paid for by the Democrats to keep a majority in Congress. Honestly he more effectively killed leftist policy as a Democrat than if he were a Republican.
Absolute scum shit of a human being. Obsessed with drilling for oil in a mountain older than the Pacific Ocean.
Panda, I’ll leave the Leviathans to the sea.
What’s more fun to collect; Cool looking rocks you found or trading cards?
Yeah, when I wrestled our coach had the entire team get their BMI tested before the season started. I forget what the cutoff was but he would not allow the wrestlers to cut weight below a certain level. The under water ‘push out all your air’ part of the test freaked me out.
Have you ever cut weight for a sport?
A little, but I’m no Italian grandma.
What’s a more interesting genre for erotica; Sci-fi or fantasy?
Though I can’t remember a time off hand, I’m sure I have.
HYE had sex to alleviate guilt?
Specifically to, a few times. But the hours I keep generally means I’m out and about as the sun rises anyway.
HYE stayed up for 48 hours?
Both have their moments, but I’ll go with I prefer half. I love the textures of a lot of materials and certain outfits are very exciting for me when my partner wears them.
You are planning to have sex tonight; Do you pregame (masturbate) or go in without prep?
Zendaya, Fox never did it for me. Plus she was a full on bitch to a lot of my friends when she stayed at our hotel.
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark or Goosebumps?
Quote by Dani
I think we're all in the same boat.
I know in a two-party corporate dictatorship this is a radical concept, but people could vote for someone else. Perhaps someone not preselected by the billionaire class?
Yes, there are quite a few really sad ones. Del Toro has gotten me multiple times.
Who’s your favorite horror movie director?
Delores Claiborne, but my partner has recommended Carrie to me and I just haven’t gotten around to it yet.
Any authors you feel the general public is sleeping on?
Younger, me and my partner are constantly carded. It was annoying in my early twenties but approaching 40 it’s a nice feeling.
The correct answer is warm with a slice of melted cheddar cheese on top. Trust me.
In the kitchen, yes. In a painting studio, no. In the bedroom…. Meh.
Have you ever had any piece of art publicly shown?
Quote by Buz
Just make the super rich pay at the income tax rate they paid back in the 1940s through 1970s.
Can we specify the 1955, 91% scale?
Yes, but I also uncontrollably flail while tickled so try at your own risk.
How would you describe being tickled? Annoying? Fun? Arrousing?
