I try not to tune in to politics until it's two or three months before the election. Till then, it's like watching preseason football. ↗

Natural Selection never made it come to pass, as a habit of nature, that an unsupported stone should move downwards rather than upwards. It applies to no part of inorganic nature, and is very limited even in the phenomena of organic life. ↗

The Democratic Party is getting very angry, and that came through clearly in this election. ↗
