YEAH, I AM BACK - SO WHAT?

well, I am back, for a while.

 decided I needed a mental health break from all this nonsense.

 also, some health issues that needed attending, and no, nothing serious, just annoying.

 Thanks to MMW for keeping a flow going on here.

 originally I signed up over two dozen authors, other than a handful who post occasionally, I have to wonder:
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THE REST OF YOU?

on the positive side, I have noticed some newcomers, so to those - welcome!

 guess with my name on here, if I ain't posting, this place would die a slow death, sighs.

 as for politics, same ole same ole.

 Trump is becoming a bigger moron than ever, how the hell does ANYONE on here still think he is a President?
I mean, he called Jay Inslee a "snake" for no other reason than he needed to sound off,  and THAT is supposed to show leadership? 

 As for the coronavirus - South Korea is testing 20,000 people a day, and we can't get our shit together?
This says a LOT about what a third world country we have become.
Even Canada is testing better than we are.

 Meanwhile, I read with amusement about the angst around Sanders losing to Biden and the advancement of the theory that it is ALL the "establishment" that is out to get Sanders.
I predict Trump will win in November, because the Bernie supporters won't vote for anyone but Sanders, they would rather see 4 more years of Trump, go figure.

 Besides partisan politics, I like to see more "no-po" topics posted, and thanks again to MMW for doing plenty of those.

 Anyway ....... consider this an open thread, discuss whatever you wanna, including growling at me for being absent for so long.

That Uplifting Tweet You Just Shared? A Russian Troll Sent It

Here’s what Russia’s 2020 disinformation operations look like, according to two experts on social media and propaganda. By   DARREN LINVILL   &   PATRICK WARREN Internet trolls don’t troll. Not the professionals at least. Professional trolls don’t go on social media to antagonize liberals or belittle conservatives. They are not narrow minded, drunk or angry. They don’t lack basic English language skills. They certainly aren’t  “somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds,”  as the president once put it. Your stereotypical trolls do exist on social media, but the amateurs aren’t a threat to Western democracy. Professional trolls, on the other hand, are the tip of the spear in the new digital, ideological battleground. To combat the threat they pose, we must first understand them — and take them seriously.

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term   (Photo: Photos: Getty Images) Americans will almost certainly go to bed on Nov. 3 without knowing who won the presidential election. Since millions of people will vote by mail, constraints on time and resources will slow ballot counting into potentially a weeks-long process. Voting patterns suggest it’s likely that President  Donald Trump  could end Election Day in the lead in certain key states, only to be overtaken by Democratic opponent  Joe Biden  when more votes are tallied.  This could create a nightmare scenario during the three months stretching from Election Day to the Jan. 20 inauguration: a battle on the state and congressional level over who is the legitimate winner. This could include Congress reconvening on Jan. 6, presided over by Vice President  Mike Pence , with no consensus over its potential role in choosing the next president. This...

When Life Hands You Lemons

 It's like this folks: sometimes your mind goes blank. Happens more than usual with me of course. Take this forum for instance. I wanted to post something today and couldn't think of a topic. At least not a non-sexual one and we know sexual ones lately have been frowned upon.  Then along comes one of our regulars and complains about something. Well, they might not say it was a complaint, just an observation, but it was a complaint. A minor one. It has something to do about being able to make something out of nothing. Sort of like me this morning, how to make a thread out of an empty head? But they (notice I am using the correct pronoun, not saying he or she), by what they said got me thinking. What I thought was: Not sure if that is the actual saying, if I remember correctly, I remember the saying going something like this: Umm, no, I don't think the saying I am thinking of goes that way either, maybe ONE of you good folks can remind me how the saying goes. Either way, when...
