Of course they are impotent. The NeverTrumpers, and I am talkin' about those who most embrace the name, make up a very narrow class of people within the beltway or loosely associated with the party for economic reasons--- the chamber of commerce champs and the the libertarian-leaning nitwits.

Problem is, it is a two-front war. There is a sizable chunk of social conservatives allied with those NeverTrumpers. There seems to be a lot of them making this into a piety issue and they won't be budging.

So it is a two-front problem. And if it were one or the other, they would be much easier to persuade back into the fold. The two only embolden their positions. And trying to assuage two groups with not so much overlap is a tough trick.

Folks,

In this video, a political analyst gives a serious account of the language appropriate to the office of POTUS.

It is most edifying.

Shouldn't that be YUGE SHAFT! YUGE SACK!

This whole thing is turnin' into the battle of Noo Yawk. Round One: Brooklyn vs Queens. Winner takes on Manhattan (or is that pronounced man-hatin' ;) )

Keep in mind, it takes yuge hands to handle the long knife.

Love it! 15 round debate in the boxing ring at the square garden of Madison. Odd number rounds are verbal debate. Even number rounds are freestyle streetfighting. Free wigs and bibs.

During the debate we blow all the bridges and tunnels and quarantine the disease!

news coverage is the claim that the smart people/1%ers decided to secede from the Union...... again.

Us big picture thinkers are good at problem solving...... ;)

The "erection" was unintentional.

1st time, that I can recall, that I've made the classic "flied lice, you plick", "r" vs "l" error here . . . accidentally . . .:lol:

:lol: I thought you did it intentionally! That is tooooo funny! I refer to those errors as Freudian typos. Maybe we are all stereotypes, don't realize it, and can't help it. :(

Perhaps years of association with Merikans has contaminated you. Merikan politics gives lots of people hard-ons. It's like subliminal porn.

Welcome to the club bro, we're proud to have ya! :D

The sad, but just, part of playing those games is that with my dyslexia, if I purposely mangle a word a half dozen or so times to be funny, for the rest of my life I will struggle with which word is actually correct..... :(
