Hello, deplorables .
Excellent! I was hoping some right wing crazies would show up to keep me company. What have you been up to lately?
How does one get bees ready for winter?Knitting tiny scarves?
Maybe we could have right wing political discussions over here. I've been watching the new administration take shape and so far I'm cautiously optimistic.
Ya, probably not the best idea.
I thought it would be a nice compromise to discussing things over there. It doesn't seem fair that all right leaning discussions should be off limits.
pretty great beer map I'm sorry you're not feeling comfortable over there right now. I've been off the board for the past couple of days and assume it's because of the election results, but hopefully nobody has targeted you personally?
1.Sorry Tenacious. To be honest, I am not really comfortable there either right now. And I voted for HRC!
Erm, Ziggy. I love ya, but you get what you get when you are the button pusher. Sent from my SM-G900T1 using Tapatalk

Stop that! 7 year old: Dad, do trees poop?Dad: Sure.7 year old: Really?Dad: Why do you think they call them "No. 2 pencils"?
Hey, I flounced from my own site. I don't reach the righteous fury expected of me.
And the posse of perfection is ignoring me. I started a thread about my mom and no one except the addressee even responded. And someone deleted the thread.
And we have to speak up. People are being ganged up on and run off. It's wrong.
posse of perfection
The originator or a mod can. Never got her here. She goes home this week and I'm okay with it.
Yup. She actually realizes that shr drank herself into the hospital. Cross your fingers that she remembers.
I do wish i stopped back to see thevreaction. Now, anyway. I was very hurt.
Don't look back. People say shit when you aren't around and they feel like they can talk about you in the third person with impunity. It's not worth your time or energy to read that stuff.
Some people. Not everyone.
sabbatical -- a break or change from a normal routine (as of employment)I think I'll hang out in the Open Pub for a week or two hoping things calm down in yammering. It's going to be lonely.
Wait, what? When?
yes, i want to know too!Susie Q, we luvs ya!!it's rare i bother with the political threads so i missed it.Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk
This might be an unprecedented time, so the tenor might not change in a week or two, or even two more months. In other words poo will be flung far and wide for quite some time.That said, just coming off of a long sabbatical, weren't we in mid conversation over US Cycling Pro Challenge (now defunct) when I up and left? I just couldn't take the heat.
BTW -- Welcome back. You've been missed.The collapse of the US Cycling Pro Challenge was a surprise -- at least to me. I think the Pro sport of cycling may collapse, too. When I last checked cycling news there were articles about the corrupt practice among the Italian teams of paying to get on the team, Thomas Dekker's doping practices, Cancellara's retirement -- and hints that he may not have ridden clean even though he never tested positive. That's on top of the motors in bikes scandals of earlier this year. Even I've given up being a fan.I need to go read your Race Event post.
There is a distinct absence of political threads in the CH this morning. I think maybe a number of posters have decided to take their ball and play elsewhere.
I don't want people to leave here. I just wanted the threads to have a different tone.
I think things are still shaking out. If they want to have a conversation that's all left all the time they will be happier elsewhere. But even if they want that the CH is still a good place with old friends and shared experiences. Maybe they'll split their time and find a happy balance between the two places -- if there even are two places. That was a total guess on my part.
We need somebody to make this place great again!
You can spin yourself a cozy little alternative universe on FB where the only people you interact with are kindred spirits and the only ideas you have to consider are the ones you already agree with.
So that's the deal. That may be a good place for them to bond and heal.
did someone flounce?I'm always the last to know.
I just don't like self-righteous.
None of us liberals have flounced. We have plenty of threads and I personally have really appreciated them. But when Tom shows up and shits all over them...well I don't engage with him.
Okay. Thanks. It will be okay.
