There are only 2 choices with Trump and his choices of so many appointees with criminal and/or conflict-of-interest ties to Russia:

1. He knew but he didn't care, figuring that Americans were too stupid to discover the truth or, like him, wouldn't care when the truth inevitably came out.

2. He is both incompetent and has horrendous judgment.


How's Donna Brazille doing these days?  I heard she dedicated her new book to a patriot and also said this weekend that she is scared and fearful.  Why would she be?

This post reminds me of when we had the Politics Board.  Your post so clearly cries out for a response about there being only two choices with HRC and her a) choices to have a private e-mail server, 2) choices to buy the DNC so she would be assured of being the democratic nominee, c) choices to stay with Bill Clinton after his sexual assaults and other actions against women, 4) choices to pay or control payments to Russia to control the election and/or steer money to the Clinton Foundation, etc etc etc, but I won’t.  Politics aren’t allowed on the Board and Rocky and Topper did away with the Politics Board.

Can we either do away with blatant political posts or bring back the Politics Board?

This is a politics free zone.
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

Could maybe create a thread where the 5-6 people who mostly just snipe at each other over the same tired strawmen can do so ad infinatum?

Honestly, that would be kind of awesome. Everyone gets popcorn for viewing

Or maybe they could go to another website where politics is okay!

That kind of defeats the purpose of interwebs politicking though.  The whole point is to spread influence, misinformation, agendas, fear, uncertainty, doubt, etc. (and silence the opposition) in order to drive turnout.  A board dedicated to debating political issues doesn't further the cause for either side.

Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

What if we set up political cage matches? Two posters enter. A neutral third party gives them a topic. They get three pages to use every strawman, ad hominem, reducto ad absurdem, and hyperbole to make their point and discredit the other. The rest of us watch and then vote on the superior internet loudmouth. Winner gets the glory, loser takes the week long ban for talking politics.

I do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.

This doesn't happen in the primary board too?
