Trump's cabinet choices.

[TSherbs]

You are just as triggered as anyone around here, you just express it differently. You can't even let go of one of Warbler's little rants where he expresses anxiety around Trump. Godsake, you are easy to pull on a string, dneal. I just gotta write anything, and you will follow up with "narrative" this or "TDS" that or smartzenhausen schnitzel. The mirror needed isn't the one in front of Warbler; it's the one in front of you.

And yet another bizarre narrative, this time invoking the "we all do it" excuse.

What's particularly amusing is that my "express[ing] it differently" is that it remains unemotional and factual,.....

Um....keep telling yourself that to that mirror in front of you.

[dneal]

Is this because you are still trying to make us libs pay for what you perceive is our having driven out your discussion buddies years ago? You resentful? You now getting even? You being...emotional?

No, but nice rant. You seem to be getting triggered.

Again, my rules of engagement are public and clear. Why you have some need to mischaracterize it repeatedly is beyond me.

If you and others who can't post rationally or civilly want to make this the tenor of the forum, I can find enjoyment playing that game too. Again, I've had decades of practice. When the Army makes you "hurry up and wait", these sorts of games are how Soldiers fill the time.

It requires a well-developed sense of humor that you haven't cultivated. It's why you can't take what you dish out. It's why you can't understand that I don't get angry or resentful.

This too close to the bone?

haha

are you not aware that you make me laugh?

I do try to indicate when I am laughing. Chortle is the better word, but "haha" is easier to type.

I also see that you don't understand how to recognize a "rant."

Hardly, and mere wishful thinking on your part.

I just can't keep up with your triggered serial-posting.

I didn’t drive anyone out years ago. Despite what is believed, I wasn’t a part of this forum years ago.

[Warbler]

Ah here we go with the broke record of me being pedantic again.

If you don't like me pointing it out, don't create the opportunity.

I don’t think I do. I just believe the small details matter more than you think they do.

No one said that you did, or that you are the other poster in question.

The “subforum history” thread was to give you the context of the current state of this section.

Your similarities in style and substance with the other poster in question, and his many reentries under new names, is what prompts suspicion. I’ve told you that I am giving you the benefit of the doubt, because if you are the person in question then you’ll eventually make a mistake.

[Warbler]

Well, since I know I am not the person in question, I am not worried about making a mistake.

[724Seney]

I am not worried about making a mistake.

Obviously.
You make so damn many of them what else could explain it?
Even stupid people can proofread what they've written and fact check when they are unsure.

That was to dneal. He has claimed that I and other sufferers of "TDS" and COVID delusion have driven out all the reasonable persons with whom he used to have more meaningful rational discussions.

dneal can give you "cites" if you want. He has pointed backward in this wistful way before.

100% true. Your foul mouth, abusive / disrespectful behaviour and nonsensical games have driven away countless people.

[TSherbs]

How many persons connected to Project 2025/Heritage Foundation are we up to now in Trump's named new leadership team? Lucky Seven?

[dneal]

"Fringe epidemiologist" Jay Bhattacharya as NIH director.

Best pick so far.

[TSherbs]

The bomb threats are really uncool. And criminal. I hope the perps are caught and prosecuted, fully.

[dneal]

Not a cabinet pick per se, but Kash Patel to head the FBI is even better than Dr. Bhattacharya leading the NIH.

[welch]

Why?

[dneal]

Why?

Because it has been a corrupt institution since its inception.

[TSherbs]

K$H is at least a lawyer with both prosecution and defense experience. To the degree that agency long-timers may see him as antithetical to the department itself, his leadership will have big challenges.
