The Daily Gossip

Post by _subgenius »

See the forum landing page for how many actual news stories about the governmental policies and procedures that are being devised, passed, and enacted practically every day?

Anyone notice the spending bill that just passed? were you aware of defunding PP that didn't pass?

Has anyone here noticed how efficient Congress has been? (eg August recess was canceled)

This, from the folks that obsessed over the flag pin and Dijon mustard habits of the former President, and who still obsess over 'locking up' Hillary Clinton for some reason they can't articulate.

I forgot that this board is supposed to serve as a news aggregate service. You're right though subs, we should definitely post every news story here, regardless of how that would turn in to spam, the fact that most of us have jobs and life (bach excluded of course) and that by flooding the forum with all those topics it would become difficult to actually discuss much.

I've got a suggestion. Instead of passive-aggressively whining about what other post why don't you start threads on all the topics you think are super important. I think you own most of the burden since you created like 50% of the threads that started today anyways.

As an aside, in helping you determine what to post: we all know that you don't consider developments in the implication of Trump in campaign finance violations as discussion worthy but others apparently do.

What the Hell is a "forum landing page?"

We're all waiting for you to post these things. Are you gonna complain, or are you going to put your money where your mouth is and get to it?

Could this be attributed to some mischievous Congressmen who are curious about that PP tape in Putin's possession?

I think he did Shades, all there is here is gossip, butt hurtness, and complaining... and not many stories about policy that is taking place.

But I would add, this is a whining and complaining website and we come here to whine, gossip, and complain, so If SG is just now figuring this out...what can I say?

But we can learn from all this, I learned what a forum landing page" is today. And you may have learned about butt hurtness.
