I was summarizing what is the gist of (mostly) Winston's repeated railings against DT and his "incomprehensible" as well as reprehensible supporters. From your list, I only have heard of QAnon as some kind of "deep throat" source of revelations from the inside? Anyone that stereotypes or categorizes people only exposes their own lack of intelligence, no matter which side of the fence they sit.

Try to be civil. I use words to convey an image. If you cannot comprehend this usage and rather than ask for clarification, you declare it bullshit and preaching, then where are your communication skills?

Meanwhile, RIP John McCain. That happened a lot faster than I imagined, and it hurts a lot more than I expected. I disagreed with his politics often, but he deserves to be remembered as a hero. We lost a good one.

Oh dear, expressing ideas contrary to your thinking deserves punishment? Really? Or do you just object to other methods of approaching a subject fraught with polarizing tensions and tribalism? What's next? Fingers in ears while yelling lalalala?
p.s. Keating five.

I'm a computer programmer who got promoted to "moderator" because I've been on the Internet for 35 years, and we didn't actually have any official moderators. I try to do as little moderating as I can get away with. I haven't even logged into the forum for 2 days.

Barry, long long ago Inquiry asked me if I wanted to be a moderator. I refused, telling him that I would do a bad job and that a bad moderator is much worse than no moderator.
You really should do the same because you are awful at this.

Or here's an example. I went to a pulmonologist Friday because I have been having altitude issues even at modest heights such as 4000 feet and severe problems at 7000 feet. He had some records sent to him from my general practitioner. The medical community really sucks at technology. The records were in a bad format on the GP's site and after he faxed them over they were unreadable. Fortunately I had already saved those records in a pdf format and sent them as an email attachment to the person in his office who handled such things. Unfortunately she wasn't in that day and she had not done anything with these records, and nobody in the office knew how to get into her email. So I borrowed a computer in the office, logged into my email, went to sent mail, brought up the pdf and printed it out. Whew!. Look guys, I'm 79. I am not supposed to be saving 40 year olds from bungled technology issues.
Ok, now I can get back to Trump in my next three posts.If the mod doesn't expel me.

Sneaky, Ken, posting how you trumped the tech problem.
I, on the other hand, have no problem with the moderator as I only post about David Dennison. Speaking of which, the reason it is so easy to see Dennsion as accepting help from Russia is because of his character and personality, his modus operandi for life, one of being resentful and full of disdain for any and all laws that conflict with his personal desires. When he didn't want the voting world to know about his sex life 2 weeks prior to election day, he summoned his fixer and his accountant, and his publishing friend, totally ignoring campaign finance laws, and orchestrated a buy out and kill of those stories.
This may seem like the action that all rich persons might take - but it is something deeper. It goes to character. Just as his instincts to hide his sexual history led him to ignore the law, so , too, did his desire for an advantage against Hillary Clinton lead his campaign to ignore the FBI warnings about Russian reachout, in fact actively seeking to engage with Russians to receive that type of information.
Is it really that difficult to think - simply because of who he is, his history, and his character - that Dennison would conspire in an illegal action with a foreign actor or actors if he thought it could help win the election? Would you think the same of Barrack Obama? Or John McCain?
Character matters.

My dog recently had knee surgery. His surgeon's scheduler called my vet and requested my dog's medical records a week before the pre-surgery appointment. After the surgery I received a copy of the surgeon's clinical notes which helped me understand what he did. Perhaps my dog's surgeon's scheduler can talk to your pulmonologist's record keeping person. I suspect this has more to do with good record keeping practices and due diligence than technology. Still, an investment in a flash drive is probably a good idea. My dog is doing well but no frisbee for 10 weeks which is tough for him.

That's essentially what I've done. I leave most of it to DIana.
And I think we both consider threads like this one to be mostly free-for-alls, where we tolerate quite a bit. As you know, I only really object when people start calling each other really derogatory names like s***-for-brains.
