Possible solutions.

Not for Republicans. They don’t support gambling.

But after they’ve been hooked on the game, they’ll have to bet real money on their fantasy teams, just to keep it interesting. And no matter who wins or loses, whoever is running the game takes a percentage of the action.

“What is Truth?” asked Pilate. and philosophers have been wrestling with that question ever since!

They’re certainly as mindless about it.

Spock: “Captain, I’m beginning to understand why you humans enjoy gambling. No matter how carefully one computes the odds, there is still a certain…exhilaration in the risk.”

Kirk: “Very good, Spock. We may make a human of you yet.”

Spock: “I hope not.”

i always find it interesting that so many men have fantasies about other men i have fantasies and football is not in there anywhere

We’re already in a fantasy election league.

Early voting has started, and I have already voted. The election is over for me. I don’t want to hear anymore about it. Can we now return to funny comics?

The only fantasies I have about politicians is thinking how good they would look up against a wall in front of a firing squad. My fantasy political team would consist of people named “None of the Above.”

But then, I’ve never belonged to a political party, and never will.

I wish someone would invent a way to turn off the ads you are pelted with after you’ve voted. That means no more mail, TV, radio ads etc……I don’t know of many people who aren’t tired of it all already, and once you vote, you shouldn’t be subjected to such a barrage of advertisements anymore!

Hey, here’s an idea. Let’s have oen of the chatbots do a virtual debate between the presidential candidates.

If it was fantasy, would all be as triggered?

Less fantasy and more nightmare.

One of the interesting things about the British government is the “shadow” administration. Because the ruling government party can change so quickly, the opposition party has a “shadow” Cabinet that stays up to date on current conditions and existing policies. In the U.S., even though we have regular elections, we just “wing it” and hand out Cabinet positions willy-nilly at the last minute. :(

I had a half-serious conspiracy theory that the sudden upsurge in reality shows wherein viewers must call or text in for their contestant/team of choice was a covert operation to increase US voter turnout by creating a generation of individuals invested in voting.

I don’t know about you but I’d feel more comfortable having a POTUS who isn’t fixated on Arnold Palmer’s “manhood”. Listening to MAGA apologists trying to explain this has been very entertaining. I guess Trump doesn’t care what garbage comes out of his mouth as long as it keeps him in the news cycle to soothe his fragile ego.
