Re: The (new, straight-from-scratch) Trump thread

If the Democrats don't put forward a strong candidate, then Trump could be re-elected. It happened once.

Re: Blog post on YouTube politics

That post right there is a good piece of writing, Strelnikov. I'm not conversant in popular culture, but that seems like a natural direction for you. I'm glad you'll be writing more blog posts on similar topics.

Re: "Global recognition"!!!!!!!1!1

Gosh, Greg, what ever happened to your Examiner blog, where you played like you were a "citizen journalist" for seven years? Oh, yeah, that's right, they pulled it down last year. Oops. m m Zoloft offered to put the posts on the WO blog. And Greggie never followed up. Hmm. That really is ...

Re: Wikipedia editor suppression:How to ban a POV you don't

Viharo is a good guy. His new video format should be good for his WP criticism. Barbour and Strelnikov may wish to consider doing something similar one of these days. Or, alternatively, Barbour and/or Strelnikov might possibly be interested in collaborating with Viharo on a short video. Getting into...

Re: The (new, straight-from-scratch) Trump thread

Rick Wilson says many congressional Republicans are becoming willing to abandon Trump, especially after the Pelosi/Schumer deal over DACA. However, he still says impeachment isn't yet a possibility and he doesn't think it will happen. He has mentioned that he expects Pence to assume the presidency ...

Re: Blog post on YouTube politics

It's nice to have a record of YouTube ephemera and how it relates to politics and religion in America.

Re: The (new, straight-from-scratch) Trump thread

Here's a project I can really get behind: m. Two guys are going to make a feature length film on Trump's first year. The working title is "Everything Trump Touches Dies" and it will include the various people who have been involved since Trump became president. Rick Wilson is a political s...

Re: TonyTheTiger

I'm not sure if this not-quite-an-administrator deserves to be written up for the book wiki. Despite generating a ton of content, he's not what I would call a "major figure". That means he hasn't strangled anyone on noticeboards or been arbitrated against or messed with policy pages. Apar...

Re: TonyTheTiger

I remember his name coming up a few times on old WR. I know he had some kind of scandal that caused him to stop editing or at least lay low for awhile. I can't remember what it was about. He quit The Signpost and may have done a short-term "retirement" from WP over the Tretikov transcript...
