LOL... like my grandpa used to say, "Don't use kleenex; pick 'n save."

Mmmm-hmm. Week 1 on the campaign trail and she's already starting to flap that mouth of 'herses'.

I hesitate to post Thompson, who is just a gleeful gossip hound. But this thread is instructive, even if much of it is stuff we all could've told the GOP and the NY Times six months ago.

Not to disparage or discourage posts but I tend to tune out these cable news shows until there is actual news rather than speculation about what could happen. Trump has evaded and elided so many charges already, I just don’t have the patience to read or listen to a breath by breath recounting off the latest thing. When all the evidence is in, the investigations are finally concluded and we move past the indictment stages the court proceedings are underway, I will be more keen on tuning in but for now, it feels like a lot of filler for ratings maintenance. 

I hope that’s not coming off as rude to anyone. It may just be answering a question on why there might not be much engagement on certain topics.

I don't think so, but then again, I don't tell members here what or how to post as they can feel free to post whatever they want. After all, it's a community board. I mean, if you don't like it then just breathe and get on with life. Better than making molehills that's for sure.

Whenever I hear people say: "I don't mean to be rude, but ..."

I'll interrupt them in mid-sentence and say: "But you are anyway, Mr./Miss Passive Aggressive."

Rep. Maxwell Frost trashes Florida Gov. Rhonda DeSantis with F-bomb

^And I don't have any problem with that.

Re: the past discussion, nobody's stopping anyone from posting anything. Dramatist has been an active poster in the PT for over a decade and was very polite about their personal preference. (This is the same reason most of us don't post a bunch of screencaps of primetime shows in those threads without content.) There's nothing wrong with approaching a thread as a relative newcomer and reading the room.

Anyway:

I can't even with this mess.

God, what a fool.

West wrote a glowing op-ed about DeSantis earlier this year, and praised "Brother Trump" in the past. Yet many still seem to think he's on their side.
