was it...?

& you just got the Classic Dem thing...?

that all sounds alarmingly plausible...what seems harder to accept in many ways are the number of homegrown malcontents desperate to emulate them...

fair point...what can I say, I’m more familiar with alcoholics than Russian trolls-for-hire...

not sure how plausible it is but how about trying to bridge the timeframe across the election...if you had people looking at a ballot with Trump’s name on it & no certainty that a vote against him gets him gone wouldn’t they be incentivized to vote further down the ticket...a Senate race in which McConnell is on the…

I dunno...maybe...unless he’s a Classical Democrat...those dudes were fine with slavery & their idea of who got to vote was literally like something out of Starship Troopers...

you are...?

gotta be honest...not really seeing where you’re going with this...

I dunno...seems like they plan to dance with the ones that brung ‘em for the most part...but YMMV & all that...

who’s courtin’...?

for the record...I do know there's no n in Boddiger...

maybe when I grow up I too will be able to put together a paragraph of politely-worded shade to compare to the one the Sun’s piece ended on...but until then I’ll have to settle for entirely more swearing...

I hear that...but oddly enough I see it sort of as the silver lining to the dark cloud that is the current alleged administration...sadly they aren’t all sound & fury, signifying nothing...while they’ve been putting on the least edifying song & dance the media has given centre ring to in my lifetime they’ve been…

I don’t know when exactly the fat lady will be singing but my money is on the fat sack of venal self-interest currently squatting in the oval office rotting in a less storied abode with a dress code that matches his skin tone well before then...

here’s hoping that swing vote of yours is one of the ones that gave him the old (electoral) college try...

[TL;DR: the op-ed’s a good read, as is your post & that quote...pretty sure I agree wholeheartedly with what you’re saying but went a little overboard where I think you pulled the punch just a little...]

what I’m hoping it is runs along the lines that the wheels turn slowly & largely out of sight & that the public facing bits where the window dressing happens want to keep as much of their powder as dry as possible for as long as possible on the principle that when they take their shot they want to be sure they nail…

yup...sure is hard to build a lasting anything based firmly on the principle of destroying everything pretty much indiscriminately...

I know some folks think those of us who heap scorn upon Baracka Obama for being a shrill virtue-signaling kind of a troll are just jumping to conclusions...& I appreciate that his having shut up for a day or so in preparation for his best behaviour bid for a spot in your picks over the weekend seems to have paid…

if you haven’t, try reading Anabel Hernandez’s “Narcoland”...she covers things principally from a perspective south of the border but her findings & extensive interviews with a swathe of surprisingly candid individuals makes it clear that nothing happening at the US southern border is doing so in a vacuum...& that…
