Nonsense. We all have the choice of who we engage with and who we don't. We can just ignore anyone we're not interested in discussing things with. The amusing part is, the arguments by the majority tend to not be any better, and often worse, than those by the 'bad' posters. Echo chambers suck. I certainly don't think FOFC is any better than it was when people were running in circles venting about how Trump sucks and literally nobody disagreeing with them but it just happened again ... and again . .. and again. At least now we have actual substantive disagreements to potentially learn from. Last edited by Brian Swartz : 05-31-2024 at 01:46 PM. |

Umm, yes it has been. There was an extended period where you could go several pages of posts in the Trump threads with nobody defending him at all. Jon wasn't posting much and when he did he was as likely to criticize Trump as he was to back what he was doing. Edward was against what he was doing in the great majority of cases, so was I ... there were repeated, large blocks of time where it was just a question of how effusive and bombastic the critical rhetoric was going to be.
There was nobody saying Trump was a good president around here. Nobody even close to that. There were issue debates on climate change or Afghanistan or racism or whatever, but there simply was no pro-Trump contingent at all. Last edited by Brian Swartz : 05-31-2024 at 04:39 PM. |

The polling for the UK election is just brutal for the Tories.

Looking forward to a competent, if not strong, showing by you Joe on Jun 27. You got your wish with no audience. Please make sure your make up guy makes you look less old. |

I still don't think this happens. I think Trump finds a way to weasel his way out of it.

Looking forward to the carefully planned zingers.
Trump kinda gets a pass. IMO there’s little he says/does that will help/hurt him significantly. He may surprise on some policies (hey, let’s do a bipartisan immigration bill, let’s help Ukraine etc.) but no one will believe him unless it’s sustained/repeated the next 4-5 months. Joe can help/hurt himself significantly by performing/not well. The American public needs to know if Joe is all/mostly there. They already know about Trump. |

If you're in the neighborhood come on over & we can ignore it together Hard for me to come up with many things that are bigger waste of time that watching one of those in real time. State of the Union (regardless of who is in office) comes to mind but after that I'm pretty hard pressed.

This opens the door for me to toss a recent social media post I saw in here. (Bear with me a moment & I'll tie this together) To be fair, I enjoyed the Trump term in office, but that was largely for entertainment value. There were good moments, but not really enough actually accomplished to make me a huge fan of the 4 year span. Which brings me to what I mentioned at the beginning of this post. It comes from Doug Collins, former Congressman (R/GA-9) and failed Senate candidate. I don't remember the last political post I liked as much as this one and I believe it applies in a non-partisan manner. It's simple basic truth, and I loved it a ton. Quote:
