    Proof that politics is more compelling than even porn

    I've said several times that politics was entertaining...but I think I might have understated the case

    Huffington Post: “As a record number of Americans tuned in to Monday night’s presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, one major pornographic website saw its traffic sharply drop. Compared to an average Monday, Pornhub.com reported that its traffic fell by 16 percent at 9 p.m. Eastern time this Monday ― the moment the televised debate kicked off. Traffic then recovered to normal levels as the debate wrapped up.”
    "Reason and facts are sacrificed to opinion and myth. Demonstrable falsehoods are circulated and recycled as fact. Narrow minded opinion refuses to be subjected to thought and analysis. Too many now subject events to a prefabricated set of interpretations, usually provided by a biased media source. The myth is more comfortable than the often difficult search for truth."

    Like how the city water pressure drops when the ref throws a flag and the commercials come on, and all the beer drinkers head to the head.

    Maybe there is a component of foreplay in a televised debate between a strong, well-spoken woman and a big, well-dressed dick.

      So you advertise a porn link by posting on this forum?

        In my opinion, for many people, politics in general and watching the debate in particular serves the same purpose as porn.
        I rather be an American than a Republican.
