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.

This has never been the case.

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.

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

CNN said that its debate would be held at 9 p.m. ET in its Atlanta studios with no audience present in a break from recent precedent. Moderators will be anchors Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, CNN said.

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.
