I still post now and then. I know, no body cares, as it should be. But not with anywhere near the frequency from the days when I naively felt a thoughtful conversation could be had. Frankly I am amazed and impressed at Dopes stamina against the overwhelming opposition he faces every day on every topic.

Ha, ha, ha! Thanks!

Long ago I unlocked the secret of the PA hard core left: They're irrelevant. Seriously.
I mean, do relevant people yell HITLER McSTALINPUTINHITLER all day long? Swear at people they don't know? Call randos names left and right? Nope.

And why do they constantly pine for input? Because fundamentally leftists need validation; either a Group Hug or high five of sorts. It's a classic symptom of narcissism. And they've got it - bad :).

Keep dropping by for serious talks when you'd like. I'll be here. This board is a terrific notepad to write down thoughts and interact with al, you, Jedi, LM, Vegas and a couple of others.

On this subject: It's hardly surprising that the board's luminaries have missed the most important detail of the Musk/Trump feud. They're too busy thinking they can use to get power again...
