I knew I could get you to comment, hardloper. Yes, your empty formatting brackets trick I have [been] aware of for some time. BUT, how does TRIGGED know? Did you teach him? ’Cause he ain't too smart.

Sorry, but I'm not "hardloper" (whoever that is).

Regardless, how smart do you have to be? I figured out that formatting years ago, and I'm as dumb as a sack of hammers.

This thread is pretty much useless since it's mostly 3 or 4 people posting lame memes or calling one another names.

That aside, has anyone actually considered that Trump can't be having all that much fun these days? I'm pretty sure this is not what he pictured his presidency would be like.

When he was first elected I'm sure he was elated because in his mind it was just like being elected ASB president or Homecoming King in high school... he was the most popular!

His first year he was thinking, "heck, I'm the boss of the US! I get to make whatever changes I want! Awesome!!" He soon found out it wasn't exactly that simple

His next couple years were spent still having fun riling up his base and doing what he could to own the libs on twitter. I'm sure he struggled a bit with the fact that the D's continued to have him investigated but he was still able to have fun tweeting, signing in new laws with his big sharpy, and playing golf.

Then this year, well, it's a whole different ball game... first a global pandemic that absolutely wasn't handled well by anyone anywhere and truthfully the US is not set up to handle something like that... but now he's not only got the pandemic but a truly failing economy and the kind of unrest that this country has not seen since 1992 and before that the 60s.

I am pretty sure he is no longer having any fun, doesn't want to deal with it and wishes he wasn't the president. In my opinion, he doesn't want any part of this.

Now that doesn't mean he'll quit because he won't. He still wants to be popular and the boss... he just wishes things weren't like this now. He wishes he didn't have to deal with real world problems.

He is hoping it will soon all go back to what he dreamt being the president of the US meant.

A confirmation that you are indeed hardloper. If you do not know who is then you are an LRC virgin. But, your knowledge of hacking this site (special color and larger text thread titles) gives you away. Maybe you are jamin. But there is no actual difference between the two of you.

First you complained about the content. Then you tried to redirect the thread the way you like. Here is a simple solution for you. Don't read what you don't want to. Don't complain about why someone makes a post. I have been on LRC for for 15 years and complaining about what others post is pointless. Simply make your post and ignore the rest.

Ok. Thank you for the advice from such a long time poster! I'll remember that with my future posts.

Please help me with this next question.

If complaining about what others write is a no-no on LRC, why are you complaining about what I posted? Seems illogical, contradictory, and well, pointless....

cheers

Game to "couldn't".

Couldn't give Couldn't the match though because his last post engaged in dialogue that was too similar to the type of posting he initially complained about.

6/1 Data

A plateau seems to be forming in the rolling 7 day average of daily deaths. After a steady approx 6 weeks of improvement, the last 5 days haven't really improved. Both for the world and the US.

We did not hit cyclical lows on 6/1. I hope the moving average will resume declines today and this will just be a few days hitch.

Although seems to me at some point this thing will stall out and just burble around until a vaccine comes out.

The bad take is that lockdowns started to ease in mid April and here are two weeks later with death counts starting to rise. Which is what you'd expect.

In the rankings the only change among the nations and US states I track is Brazil...it's up to 21st worst, after being 28th worst just 2 weeks ago.

Key moment here.

A couple of years ago, I posted this:

Donald Trump is an authoritarian. And there are only four ways an authoritarian leaves office:

1. Dies in office

2. Thrown in prison

3. Flees to exile

4. Taken out back and shot

At the time, nobody agreed that any except #1 was a possibility.

What say you now?

He's going to lose the election, he's going to sue somebody and everybody and he's going to lose that lawsuit.

Then he walks out and forms an opposition government in exile on OANN. He starts revving up for running again in 2024 while fleecing the m@gas for everything they have.

It's the exact same behavior that liberals mocked in 2015-2016 : nonstop obsessive posting of the most cringe worthy memes and political cartoons and a zealotry for internet points.

As for Trump, he never wanted the job in the first place, and that much was rather obvious. I imagine his life has been a living hell since November of 2016.

I believe information like this has become an addictive form of entertainment, and that includes news (which is actually designed to be entertainment these days). It's an endless stream of data that serves little purpose and is hardly distinguishable from the previous stream.

Do you wake up every morning and quickly refresh the coronavirus world news website? How many times a day? Have you considered not looking at it for a while?

He never wanted the job. He wanted the position. He won't relinquish it.
