&lt;i&gt;My condolences on the loss of your older brother. I, too, lost a sibling suddenly and still do not approve of it.&lt;/i&gt;

Very much appreciated and my condolences to you also. Life can throw us curve balls sometimes, and I wish you the very best.

Please tell me you did not lose your twin.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;On another note, still waiting for word from you regarding my donation... &lt;/i&gt;

Translation: Michale has neediness to be noticed and requires special attention for making a simple dang donation. 

&lt;i&gt;If you prefer to address it in email, that&#039;s fine as well.. 

Given the current issues with the Weigantian trolls, I can understand your reluctance to discuss this publicly... &lt;/i&gt;

You don&#039;t need permission to make a damn donation. Stop &quot;toying&quot; around and make it. If you want to make a larger donation than the paltry chump change you challenged everyone to make, good God, stop with the absolute prattling bullshit and JUST DO IT.</description>

		<description>Michale 
5

&lt;i&gt;Victoria Troll comes back from her shame induced hiatus and virtually EVERY comment she made has been about me.. :D &lt;/i&gt;

And with that nugget, the board&#039;s Michael/Michale troll has proven beyond doubt that his raison d&#039;être is his life spent trolling online and that ever-present neediness of his/hers to be noticed by somebody/anybody combined with that modus operandi of his/hers to just make shit up about anybody/everybody (especially himself/herself) in repeated attempts to prove somehow/some way that he/she has lived a life more important than others. *laughs*

Contrary to the invented bullshit of the board&#039;s ever-needy resident troll, my holidays were a lot more boring. In point of actual fact and reality, my older brother died suddenly, and I&#039;ve inherited his estate (not in Texas) and all the travel and work that comes with that... including probate.

Anyway, Weigantians will be proud to know that the first thing I did upon arrival to his/my property was to walk out the front door quite a considerable distance to the very tall flagpole in front and remove the very large Trump flag and replace it with an American flag. You really can love your country without being a MAGAt, Muskrat, or Trump cock holster.

But poor Michael/Michale, Russ and I cannot factually make the claim that we didn&#039;t already know that those ginormous chunks of time of his/hers spent away from this board were very long periods of &lt;b&gt;shame&lt;/b&gt;. In fact, I would wager we all here already knew that.

&lt;i&gt;Russ Troll&#039;s comments from the last couple months have been EXCLUSIVELY about me!! :D &lt;/i&gt;

That is totally incorrect, but your ever-present neediness for attention is again duly noted. 

&lt;i&gt;They drag up internet stuff about me from OVER A QUARTER CENTURY ago and actually believe it has RELEVANCE in the here and now!! :D &lt;/i&gt;

First off, your abilities at math are only equaled by your inability at reading comprehension, I must inform you that 21 years is obviously &lt;b&gt;not&lt;/b&gt; &quot;OVER A QUARTER CENTURY ago.&quot; 

Secondly, that&#039;s a very interesting use of the word &quot;drag&quot; there, missy, but not altogether surprising coming from a Michael who (quote): &quot;is spelling his first name differently now to signify that he definitely likes his...&quot; well, &lt;b&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://alt.swingers.narkive.com/iimKOUXv/come-swing-with-us&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;y&#039;all can read. &lt;/a&gt; &lt;/b&gt; 

Interesting how he/she is still spelling his/her name &quot;differently&quot; in the RELEVANCE of facts and reality. 

&lt;i&gt;These trolls are HYSTERICAL with their hate and bigotry and it&#039;s obvious to all that I am totally rent free in their heads.. :D &lt;/i&gt;

Hate requires passion, and Russ and I have none for you, but you always and still have our utmost pity. No one lives rent-free in either Russ or my head, and we feel quite certain it will not go unnoticed when the rent becomes due and payable.  

Russ and I are not trolls, but we also are not altogether unsympathetic when we encounter a true troll in obvious constant total desperate need of attention and just making shit up about anyone/everyone (including himself/herself) in order to fill that ever-present neediness for attention that exudes from his/her every word (those words he/she isn&#039;t plagiarizing, of course). 

So Michael/Michale: Russ and I recognize the continuance of your life-long modus operandi of the trolling others and just making shit up about them in your constant need of attention, and Russ and I will sometimes fill that neediness of yours to be noticed, but only when we&#039;re choosing not to totally ignore you and scroll directly through your trollshit mountain of misinformation and right-wing echo chamber invented propaganda and outright lies wherein you&#039;ve obviously and demonstrably mainlined the Orange Kool-Aid. In the interest of full disclosure: Russ and I are not liars so the attention you crave will come in the form of facts.

&lt;i&gt;I feel sorry for those Weigantians Trump/America haters who are looking forward to the BLOCK feature.. &lt;/i&gt;

Translation: Michael/Michale Troll is obsessed with his/her being totally ignored by others. He/has not failed to notice that the most popular feature being requested by those who actually want to discuss political commentary in the comments section of Chris&#039;s blog (versus wading through the Michale trollshit mountain of entirely plagiarized articles and bullshit) is the &lt;b&gt;BLOCK feature&lt;/b&gt;.

&lt;i&gt;What with the trolls making virtually ALL of their comments exclusively about yours truly, EVERY ONE is going to be able to partake... :D &lt;/i&gt;

Don&#039;t bet on it. That most-requested and coveted &lt;b&gt;block feature&lt;/b&gt; has the potential to be the end of your prolific plagiarism along with your obvious neediness for praise and attention and your total pathetic existence.</description>

		<description>CW,

&lt;I&gt;These days, of course, it is the Republicans who have a cat-herding problem. The pendulum of politics has swung.&lt;/I&gt;

Oh puulleeessee...

Is that the best you got??  :D

&lt;B&gt;&quot;The pendulum has swung... Woooo oooooooo&quot;&lt;/B&gt;  :eyeroll:

Yer still going to have to contend with a UNITED Republican Party that has a LOCK on ALL aspects of government and will be able to push thru an AMERICA First agenda that is soo despised by Trump/America hating Democrats..  :D

I get it.  Ya&#039;all are trying to put lipstick on this pig to make the fact that you Democrats got so completely and utterly shellacked in the 2024 election..  :D

I commend you for trying to save face so much, but com&#039;on..

Where is the REALITY of this &quot;reality based&quot; forum??   :D

On another note, still waiting for word from you regarding my donation...  

If you prefer to address it in email, that&#039;s fine as well..  

Given the current issues with the Weigantian trolls, I can understand your reluctance to discuss this publicly...

		<description>Aaand…20 Republican Senators are standing for re-election in 2026. This is the mirror opposite of this year. The only Gerrymandering involves each state’s borders. 





I hope Repugs shitcan the filibuster and pass their deeply unpopular legislation.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;On some of the nominees, however, losing four GOP votes is not out of the question at all.

This could lead to a lot of frustration for Trump. &lt;/i&gt;

Alas, &quot;Poor Donald&quot;... already showing the early onset symptoms of lame duckery. 

Is it too soon to settle on a new name for the lame duck? Rhetorical question. One can obviously never be too prepared; so will it be: 

* Lame Duck Donald?
* Lame Donald Duck?
* Lame Old McDonald, Nephew of Scrooge McDuck?

We&#039;re taking names; all ideas definitely welcome.

		<description>I am torn between wanting to sit back and watch the Republicans self-destruct without passing any of their proposed legislation - and (as per several liberal commentaries I&#039;ve lately read) wanting the Republicans to pull it together, pass their reactionary, elitist, and working-class-destructive agenda, and so lose the support of many of their deluded working-class voters in time for the 2028 election.

I admit I&#039;m not crazy about option #2, but it&#039;s an intriguing proposition: get this stuff out in the open, in operation, destroying lives and increasing public misery, and all to the credit of a Republican president and Congress. The trouble is, of course, that&#039;s a lot of public pain for everybody, not just Trump&#039;s base. 

Well, all I can do is watch, per Chris&#039;s program, and hope the U.S. survives this administration in something like the condition it&#039;s in now.</description>
