    The people who tend to flee are the people we don't really want. Their sorting to Republican states because they're Republicans.

    In trying times, it is a comfort to have a leader communicating both understanding and purpose with nobility and confidence.

    He forgot to include the AI generated image of himself in an air force uniform with his hands clenched looking straight at the camera.

    By a sniper, on Republican turf, who appears to have gotten away clean.

    Does the name Horst Wessel mean anything to you?

    Idea/question: When a mod closes a thread, why don't they make the last post be something like:

    "We're gonna close this thread for a few days. Feel free to start a replacement on __date__."

    Or: "New thread here."

    Or: "Thread closed for a few days to give a cool-down period. I'll reopen it in a few days."

    Or at least some sort of hint as to what went wrong and how/when it'll be made right.

    Hmm.... I thought I'd been pretty clear as to why I've closed threads.

    But here's the blanket answer: I'm going to close threads when people are either pissing on each other, the thread has outlived it usefulness, or when I think folks are going to start rage-posting things that they're going to regret (or maybe ought to regret.)

    I'm not going to start new threads to continue old threads. You guys have agency. If you want to keep discussing a topic, wait a couple days, and when you have something interest to say or a link that is worthy, start it up again.

    I'm not moderating content. I did ask for feedback when I started this gig, and a couple regulars did suggest that I ban/delete persistent lying. I just don't have the time for that. I've off-shored a couple of trolls and turned down the heat on some "problem" threads. That was really my only goal when I started this.

    I hope you’re not getting a bunch of whining. Thanks for your help with guiding this vessel safely through these high seas, I expect calmer waters in about 3.4 years. :)

    Looks like MAGA will have to find another racist influencer to energize the base. You should submit your resume.

    Kinda shows what a big trophy this is by that poster using the term "assassinated". They can find another one, but hey, he was one of the starters. Probably difficult to replace, plus he was relatively young, lots of young Whites in the Trump camp, but most of them can't talk their way out of a spider web.

    Some on FB ae asking for sympathy for his children, apparently unaware that the short term pain of losing their father is nothing compared to the long term effects of being reared to adulthood by someone like him.

    I'm thinking of the Chris Rock skit where people taked about Biggie and Tupac being "assassinated" -- he goes on to say that MLK and RFK were assassinated. Biggie and Tupac? Those n*****s got shot!

    You represent humanity quite well. Imagine the celebration will a great time for you, enjoy. Hopefully MAGA doesn't burn down cities and destroy business in a peaceful protest over his assassination.

    They’ll probably just invade an American city oh wait they already have.

    Maybe they’ll kill some brown people in a boat oh wait they already have.

    Maybe they’ll invade the Capital oh wait…you see my point? If you’re just against non democratic politics when your team takes an L, you’re not against non democratic politics. You’re just against losing at non democratic politics.

    If Kirk’s murder leads to MAGAe feeling vulnerable, and using caution, it’ll be good for America. And if it doesn’t, well, he was Charlie Kirk. It’s still good for America. Just not as good.

    Unlike Charlie Kirk, I've never questioned if a pilot was qualified based on their skin color.
