    As I said, you don't get it.

    And you got the wrong Tal post.

    I can't explain EVERYTHING to you.

    You have to learn to keep up. Or, if not, learn how to go back.
    "DC is filled with the fringe right-wing." Learn how to write accurately, and you won't have to explain. Not complicated. But if you want to say that "filled with" actually meant there are very few right wingers in D.C. then fine with me.

    Tal's explanation was to the effect that D.C. has no vote in the electoral college. That is not true. As you pointed out yourself, they have three, so why you would appeal to Tal's explanation is a mystery.

    I stand corrected.

    Actually I DO have to explain since you still don't get it. This is my second time I'm telling you that. Learn how to read accurately. It's ok to misread something, but to do it after having the error explained to you is very Trump-like. The more you post, the more you take after your hero.

    If I was trying to defend your position, I'd give up, too. It's hopelessly absurd.

    Everybody knows that one right wing loony fringer makes more noise than 250,000 ordinary people so do the math, all you need is 10 fringers in DC to offset the whole population of normal folks. That's what Athos expressed! I concur. No need to defend that position just look at DC and the noise machine the dufus is running.

    I mean like DUH! How simple is that to understand? Well maybe for normal people but obviously not to fellow fringers'! You must be one of the dufus fringers! That's the only explanation for NOT understanding the math.

    Sure Clete, however I do have a few peeps who are borderline but for the most part they are as ordinary as you get.

    Words cannot express how happy I am that I don't need explanations like that for my statements.

    That's my story and I'm sticking to it! Gimme a break willya? I've read your explanations for your positions too and I'm just as thrilled as you are.

    I've always said I like you because I never have trouble trying to figure out what you are saying. You also don't make a plain statement and then come back and try to represent it as being something entirely different. I tip my hat to ya!

    You might want to try taking your own advice before you start giving it to others.

    Ya gotta admit JL the dufus brough a lot of right wing fringers with him to the WH. It's being reported by the loony right if we dump the dufus, we get rid of those fringers too. What great incentive to get that lying, cheating bully! If we can just keep Vlad out of our business...!

    That's fine if you want to believe that. He is certainly, in my view, trying to replace left wing loons with conservatives, but your observation is fair enough. My objection was to saying D.C. was "filled" with right wing individuals. Well, 90% of D.C. voted for Hillary, so that is plainly an incorrect statement. I get what he meant. I'm not sure how it became such a big deal. He sort of corrected himself so let's move on.

    Good enough, that brings us to the impeachment inquiry. After the investigation phase the public gets to see the goods and the dufus gets to explain himself. The rules to proceed get voted on today or sometimes this week. With baseball season over with, no doubt the media will focus on the lies the dufus tells and repubs squirming in their draws trying to answer questions, as the EVIDENCE is presented, if the economy doesn't fall, or nobody blows something up, or California burns up and falls in the sea.

    Lots of circumstantial evidence and lots of second/third hand conjecture, but other than that the dems just don't have the goods.
