Why I Endorse Gary Johnson (this week) (Dilbert Guy)
Dilbert ^ | October 9, 2016 | Scott Adams

Posted on 10/09/2016 9:49:17 AM PDT by Pinkbell

I don’t know how to write this post without unintentionally disrespecting the real victims of abuse in any form. I apologize in advance if it comes off that way. But it’s part of the national conversation now, and unavoidable. The best I can do is focus on how voters perceive the situation. I don’t have an opinion about who did what to whom because I wasn’t in the room any of those times. That said…

We fine citizens of the United States find ourselves playing some sort of sex abuse poker in which we have to assign value to various alleged sex crimes to see which alleged rapist/groper/enabler combination we want to inhabit the White House and represent our national brand. Let’s call that situation “not ideal.”

My view is that if either Clinton or Trump can be judged by the weight of the allegations against them, both are 100% unfit for the office. I think Trump supporters think it’s worth the hit to our national brand just to get some specific improvements in the country.

Clinton supporters have been telling me for a few days that any visible support for Trump makes you a supporter of sex abuse. From a persuasion standpoint, that actually makes sense. If people see it that way, that’s the reality you have to deal with. I choose to not be part of that reality so I moved my endorsement to Gary Johnson.

I encourage all Clinton supporters to do the same, and for the same reason. I don’t know if any of the allegations against the Clinton’s are true, but since we are judging each other on associations, you don’t want to be seen as supporting sex abuse by putting an alleged duo of abusers (the perp and the clean-up crew) into office...

He supported Clinton earlier in the election but always seemed very complimentary towards Trump. He then switched his vote to Trump when Hillary came out with a 65% estate tax. Now he is switching to Johnson.

He’s playing Hillary’s voters. Pull off a few more Dems for Johnson. Trumps voters aren’t going anywhere.

I’m sort of dismayed that Trump would even appear on Stern. Stern is a disgusting lowlife and a total piece of sh*t. A sensible person wouldn’t give Stern the time of day. But alas, he’s popular, so, you have to give the low-IQ people what they want to see...

He actually said he’s asking Clinton supporters to support Johnson.

The constant justification of moral cowardice from Adams has gotten too ugly to stomach anymore.

If you haven’t been keepingetting up with Scott Adam’s the past week or two, you will know why he SAYS he’s “endorsing” Johnson and why other Trump supporters will say the same...

Because the silent majority just got more silenter, and Trump supporters will SAY they are voting for Johnson in public but will pull the lever for Trump.

Now he is switching

Did you buy his book. He really wants you to buy his book.

Half of what he writes is tongue in cheek. Half is deadly serious. Better try to figure out which. This is not a slam on any candidate, except the dope smoking Johnson whom he alleges, now, to endorse. This is a slam on Americans for not figuring out what matters to them.

He is pointing out that we are picking our candidates by which one has got our panties in a wad most, which is both of them, if you listen to what you are supposed to believe.

So he is saying he is endorsing the dope smoker.

Or you could use your own brain and figure it out.

The "national brand" has already been beaten to a bloody pulp with the election of Islamic socialist Barack Hussein Obama. It's now on life support. The election of Trump would IMPROVE things greatly, despite his getting caught making comments that most men have made. ...including Dilbert, I suspect.

Oh BS. If he were a coward, he would never have entered this fray in the first place. He is a humorist, and if you can't figure out the butt of the joke, then it is.

Gary Johnson and William Weld are GUN-GRABBERS. I will NEVER vote for them. Trump is my only choice. That, or stay home.

Stern hasn’t entirely dropped the adults-only material, but he does sound much calmer now and more content which gives the show a range and depth it didn’t have 10 or 15 years ago. Besides he and his wife are huge, awesome animal lovers that at any one time foster and finds homes for hundreds cats. So I do tune in irregularly for the kitty updates if nothing else.

Yep. That is what Stern is.

This deserves a lot of discussion but now is not the time.

After the election.

Right now is time to make Her lose.

You keep telling yourself that - it's exactly what he wants you to think.

FYI, non-responsibility is the liberal god.

I’m sorry but Stern belongs in a mental institution.
