    ... and the hating breaking continues. A highly respected Yale historian recently wrote about the two factions of the GOP he called the Breakers and Gamers. It is a really interesting article that defines the Trump faction as breakers who use the power of the bully pulpit to distort reality for fun and profit. The point is that in my opinion, based on observable facts, what we've seen over the past four years is the greatest grift of all time. The other thing I think Citizen Cain was making was it is hard to do business with folks if you don't trust their judgement. From the

    Caped There was a fellow named Jim Griffards, if memory serves, who was one of the 'players' in the early ebay. Your post here, reminds me of what Griff, as he was known as moderator on what was the main ebay chat board back in 1997. It was a simple chat, open to everyone and when someone posted something stupid, wrong, libelous or whatever, as the chief mod, he'd just start making chat line entrees in rapid succession and as new entries appeared at the top of the page and old one's dropped off the bottom of the page, that was the prime way to moderate the conversation. He act

    I knew that was coming but I didn't expect it from you. Actually, you point to one of the social media manipulation techniques in a typical threaded message board. The rule says that you will win when you distill someone's too long post (like the one I just posted) into whatever meme you want to promote betting on the fact that a majority of people won't read the dang thing. That statistical fact means you can influence the 'majority' with topics of your choice. What they discovered is they can throw out any kind of bs - make stuff up sometimes - because they can. It is kind of lik

    GD: All you've done is confirm that there is sin the world. If there was corruption in Georgia from 2002 to 2020, it would have to be 99.9 percent Republican because there have been no state wide elected Democrats here since then. For that matter, the GOP held both houses of Congress from 2011 through 2019 and basically delegated the Democrats to the powerless back benches. I also kind of resent the idea that you think 'everyone' is corrupt ... they are not. Here's a story from me in 1977. The road house and compound at Canton, OK, one of the smallest bergs in Blai

    You wrote: "God help us!" My post just suggested that he did and is. The entire problem with Trump was that he wanted us to live in an alternate reality where there is only one arbiter of 'truth' ... which was what Donald Trump said it was. His coup, executed by a mob he gathered and sicked on the Article 1 power (Congress) in an effort to enforce an 'untruth' is just evidence of your, and his, attack on the truth. Bottom line you can't have unity based on lies. I reject your assertion I was attacking Republicans. I was just celebrating the continuation of a constituti

    That was a great sermon by the pastor. I find their choice to limit youtube distribution blocking play here is a bit short-sighted - almost anti-evangelical - but as you noted in the other topic, they are powerful words in that they put the divisions into a context that emphasizes our commonality and humanity. What perplexes me most is the apparent riling of emotion is all aimed at having people kill (murder) for a obvious lie about the results of the election. Beginning with Roger Williams and William Penn, the former founder of Rhode Island and Penn founding Pennsylvania, religio

    Actually, the media is just reporting the literal fear being expressed by those concerned with the national security. If you haven't gathered, all those folks we used to think were our 'friends' in foreign policy were pushed away by Trump who cuddled up with the worlds' authoritarians (Putin, Xi, Kim, Erdogan, Duarte). The prospects of war and conflict have been literally taken from a relatively stable situation to one that has the prospect of descending into ever greater chaos. For instance it was announced today that Trump just surplussed the only aircraft that is being used for w

    Here's a screen capture from the CW series Stargirl. Does anyone know what time it is?

    I've confirmed a couple of things. First, the series Stargirl, produced in 2019 for distribution in 2020 is an ongoing sci-fi series produced in Paulding County; presumably at the Paulding studio. Apparently there is some debate as to the nature of this production given its employment of the tunnels. Some think this is just another idiotic conspiracy theory about the tunnels, much like the one centered around Texas and the military operation called Jade Helm back in 2015 that tried to incorporate the Paulding Tunnels. It seems some of the most dramatic videos regarding that were di

    An apparently frustrated pcom member sent us this video of a person literally stealing the video security cam from her back porch on Confederate Ave at 2:30am I'm thinking Thursday night/Friday morning. She wrote us: Here's the video I'll leave it to the member to identify herself and I'm sure the Dallas PD would be interested in any information on the whereabouts of the perpetrator of this crime.

    A guest came by and asked how one might order this item. You don't have to order it, you can go by A &M and buy it. They are in the business park just west of the hospital and if you're coming from Hiram, you'll have to go up to the next intersection on 278 at Palisades SD and make a U-e to get there. Need an address? Click on A&M's 'logo-image' anchoring the post and it will take you to a profile page where their address and phone number are immediately available. Hope that helps
