FYI: there is nothing to prove here. You simply established a benchmark o/u number of 100. You have not chosen the over or the under.


I'll put your intent down as:

O/U is 99.5 (we don't want a push, do we?)
You choose the over

No, I'm hoping it's the under. I'm hoping it one since we've already had one.

The revisionist history campaign has begun.

Nope not at all. It's just there's been thousands of threads in the last 5 years bashing Trump. Most days it's more than half of the page in here Trump bashing threads. I'm just hoping with him gone that this place can go back to something more normal.

That is a stretch. Not wanting to relive the past and wanting to move forward is nowhere near the same as wanting to rewrite the past.

This forum moving towards more normal? Politician bashing was not normal before Trump? I interpret your more normal as continue bashing only insert Biden 1 and Biden 2, AOC and the squad, Chuckie and Nancie while the donald is allowed to graze peacefully down in the lower forty.

People posted about Trump because he is an incompetent, racist, liar. The GOP eagerly supported him with the fever of a cult. The blame for people posting about Trump is solely on Trump and his cowardly enablers.

Trump deserves a thousand threads bashing him. A hundred in the next month is probably not enough.

There were about 155,000,000 votes cast for president. Trump should have lost the general by 154,999,999 to 1. With the one vote being himself. Not even Pence, Melania, or his kids should have voted for him. How he received 74+ million votes is one of the most mind boggling things that has happened in my 50 years on the planet. He was a horrible President and is a horrible person.

This man tells no lies. Clearly we have the resistance in the FBI.

Now about putting his ass in jail for the rest of his days, what can you share?
Suffer Well.

What if we mock him? Does that count as bashing?

Remember when the dumbass was mad that he couldn't buy Greenland? Or the time he threw paper towels at people recovering from a hurricane? Oh, don't forget when the fucking idiot stared at the sun during the eclipse.

Go back and read some of the threads and the Holy Shit I Can't believe Trump Said That thread. Every damn day he did something new and more stupid than the day before.

So the real question is what is the over/under on dumbass stuff Trump does in the next 30 days?

Never got into the florida man riff. So now that he is one, is he "the" one or just at the top of the list?

Maybe there should be a "remember when..." thread so we can reminisce about all the utter stupidity of the man.

eg:

"Remember when Trump claimed that when you go to buy groceries, you need photo ID?"

I agree with this. But should one have concern when the Agency begins talking about someone in the past tense? Or, is that just the CIA?


Not sure what youā€™re getting at. I said he was a horrible President (past tense) and is a horrible person (present tense). Heā€™s no longer the President so what other tense should I have
used?

The Agency refers to the CIA. Thereā€™s no A in the FBI. šŸ˜

Anyhoo... Iā€™m only speaking for myself and not my employer. As I have always done. Iā€™ve never operated in any kind of official capacity here.

But what are you expecting? That is where the betting line / prove me wrong comes in.

well, look at that, Windy needs to berate me for my reading comprehension.

As for use of the word 'Agency,' my first draft had that as the personal pronoun 'you'. decided that was an even worse attempt at humor - so changed it to something more generic. Seems I still fell short.

Would this count as bashing?




We can get the under if we just keep all the shots in here.

Sorry, but this just isnā€™t true. Heā€™s been hiding, not doing anything, off Twitter, etc for a couple of weeks, and weā€™ve had more threads in that time than ever. Barry started a thread unrelated to any specific Trump action, just to invite people to complain about anything related to Trump. There have been plenty of people taking great pleasure and satisfaction in a near constant stream of criticism of anything he says or does, large or small, justified or not.

Donā€™t get me wrong, there was plenty of legitimate stuff to complain about, but youā€™d have to be blind to think there werenā€™t plenty of people taking lots of pleasure in these threads.

Leave it to slowguy to go Full Literal. Allow me to rephrase, ā€œ...would have much preferred not having Trump to complain about.ā€

Yes, Iā€™m aware some folks seem to just enjoy complaining and are always looking for the next outlet, just as some people appear to enjoy arguing enough to ignore a point so they can instead pick apart a common turn of phrase because it doesnā€™t hold water literally. Have at it...

Nope I quit. Rough count maybe 20 or 30. Congratulations everyone. Although bashing Trump in non Trump threads probably picked up.

Of course Cruz and others helped pick up the slack...

Well you did start a couple of your own Trump threads so need to back those numbers down by 10.
