But, it’s still crazy even if you believe that he’s been trying persistently to set up a meeting with them (which seems unlikely to me) and has been unsuccessful despite sincere effort. If you want to set up a meeting with them, you don’t just randomly ask a black person who happens to cross your path and ask if they…

No it’s not. What are you talking about?

See if you can rewrite this without using any hot button words at all. Start by removing the word “jihad” when referring to a news organization asking for tips about a politician about whom there are legitimate and pressing questions.

Whatever works for you, Jess. My head is full of mimes, now.

I just thought the whole thing was very funny. No offense to the thread or yourself, I just thought it was amusing. It was more in the nature of a “thank you”, really.

A musician is not allowed to have an opinion about another musician unless they play the same instrument as the musician in question? This seems like a unique point of view, could you expand on it a little? Because I don’t understand what his ability to sing has to do with anything.

Indeed. I can think of few better ways to spend a weekend. :)

SWEET.

It’s good to take some time out from the news from time to time, and remember that despite the current evidence out of DC, there are many people that display a multitude of good points, and that it might still be ok to be a person, rather than a bear. (bears do not play stand up bass, for one thing).

What’s interesting to me is that most of this thread seems to be taken up with demanding justification for the cost of a laptop belonging to a complete stranger that was bought with his own money and that he uses effectively for multiple daily tasks. I mean, really? President Umbridge, President Bannon, President…

I am so sorry this happened to you, and hope that somehow you got your things back. We still miss you here, by the way.

According to these folks (who should know), it seems to be the…

Steve Bannon is not part of the problem, he’s the entire problem.

We are all bears.

This is the best thing, really. She just enjoys sharpening her claws on them, and they’re so stunningly stupid they can’t see they’re being used as a cat toy.

Hey, I’m all about depressing everyone any old time, so I’m always happy to hear a sad song! I don’t doubt we’ve all been in a slump, a person would have to be bonkers not to be. I just try to pace myself and keep pushing firmly back against the madness. Looking forward to seeing what you’ve collected, I always enjoy…

Oh wow! It’s actually good news! I was sure it was going to turn out he was dead. This is great! Not dead!

Congratulations!

Hey! Nice to see you!

I imagine we have one, don’t you think? It’s only been about three weeks since we plunged full on down the rabbit hole, which I find amazing.
