Been trying to leave the xitter for awhile. Will this site do it? Looking encouraging. New Mexican. Former New Yorker (upstate variety). Into craft beer, truth, latin dancing (hm?), and decency. Software and science by day.

Maybe that has to be the new Democratic strategy: get someone in at the last minute so the rightwing smear machine doesn't get a prolonged chance to destroy them. See Hillary, Biden, etc.

He is absolutely awful. I'm embarrassed to say that when I first saw him in interviews in the mid 2000's I liked him. Apparently someone came and offered him a deal he couldn't refuse.

Please put this in terms they can understand. Are you saying Thomas may not get a new RV?!

Exactly right! They're the ones actually engaging in hypotheticals by thinking up scenarios where a righteous president needs to be protected from malicious prosecution.

Some of them seem malicious, but some like Roberts just seem so strangely clueless about the big picture.

My first impression as well, though I was also surprised at how much bigger it was than I expected. I guess I was thinking delorean size.

I haven't actually been into SciFi since the '80s, when I read some of the books you're talking about. I didn't realize Asimov was a horrible person, but I guess it's not surprising. Too bad. I liked him in other ways. (Might not appreciate the books as much now as when I was 13.)

Yes, that ties directly to the relatively new phenom of there being a huge conservative media (social and traditional) that spins madly for their side, to the point now of often just blatantly lying and inventing things.

I don't think there's a better argument in favor of spanking children than Trump. Or adults, I suppose.

It should be disqualifying. But the GOP has no platform (literally) or real policies, and that's apparently fine with GOP voters.

I still have my original box set of GW! So cool just to read through when I was 12, though I hardly played it.

I'm kind on nostalgic for my first android phone, which was a Samsung Moment with a slide-up physical keyboard. The phone was horrible otherwise, as were most in those days....

I hope you're giving consideration to whatever features would be most effective in attracting more users. The only thing keeping me on xitter is the lack of comparable user base here. I don't know what kind of budget you have, but maybe more marketing?

It's not like it's even some deep secret. It's almost obvious. I know there are some shitty Americans who want such a thing, but are there really so many who aren't aware of this? You have to pay zero attention to news to be that clueless.

I was a fan most of my life, but I lost interest almost 20 years ago for various reasons. Not really interested in rekindling the interest with these things going on. (Same with the Raiders.)

I'm not hopeful but I appreciate you trying to slap some sense into people there. Just mind-boggling that they would hire her. It's like they're stuck in the 2002 political/media landscape.

The entire GOP has learned the lesson and has taken it to heart, though they were heading that way even before Trump. It only succeeds if the bubble and the tools to maintain it are strong enough.
