Political Discussion Thread (With Rules)

Supposedly they were pretty good friends before this. Maybe Jefferson and Adams as a precedent?

They reconciled after Jefferson's two terms as President (when they'd both retired from politics), and maintained a vigorous correspondence up until their deaths on the same day (July 4, 1826). Adams on his deathbed in Massachusetts expressed Gratitude that Jefferson was still alive, unaware that in Virginia Jefferson had died a few hours before..

Well, soon the political ads will be gone, and we'll get slaughtered by Christmas ads......and we'll miss the political ads.

 

Many years ago I saw a Christmas advertisement for Norelco electric razors, showing a stop-motion animated Santa gliding over snow-covered hills atop a giant three-headed razor. The ad closed with the banner, "Noelco," across the screen, and a voice-over proclaiming, "Even our name says Merry Christmas." That's when I realized the spirit of Christmas had truly been killed by consumerism. I was depressed for hours.

 

I would choose to watch that ad again for a week on a nonstop loop over seeing one more minute devoted to Clinton vs Trump. :cry:
