Ok- what is a "bait" thread?? Read the title and OP of a thread, then ask yourself, "What positive and beneficial discussion might flow from that start?" If you struggle to find an answer other than "None, this one is going to go downhill fast", it might be fair to label it a bait thread. So? Who cares if it is a "bait" thread? Or if it is a "troll"? If u feel that way, just ignore it.....it is actually possible to ignore threads and people without actually hitting the "ignore" button. And if u feel that offended by them than call them out for what they are and move on.

What makes it...UNREAL!!!!!!!!! What Tennesser posted.
So the fact that they are adulterers is going to be upsetting to a Vatican that tried to hide the priest scandal once upon a time?

"Following the election there was a time of high spirits and good feelings...."
I wonder if people read the same boards as me.
The only one really happy was Paul and maybe one other poster.
Most of us that are right or lean right on the board were just glad Hillary didn't win. But we could admit Trump was not the best and was the lesser of 2 evils.
Sure we may have been happy about pacific issues we thought may come to pass like building a wall, enforcing immigration and things like that. ...,,but "high times & good feelings?"- about Donald Trump overall? what boards were you reading during & after the election?

No worse than Van Jones as Green Jobs "Czar"
How politically unstable / important is the Vatican anyway? Any chance we got to war with them? Will they send troops to our coalition? Is there a big trade agreement / trade deficit?

He's a GS11, my boss is GS14 (government civilian pay grades).
There's the root of your problem right there. Many of these GS's are worthless. The ones I used to work around when I was a contractor I'd call "PE's" instead, where the PE stood for Professional Eater. You'd hear them slurping away on their 7 daily meals over the cube walls all day long. I had a theory that the base where I worked only offered fast food lunch options in order to kill off those folks before they could retire and collect their pensions.
I agree on the fast food theory. Same reason in the military dining facility they always have "short order" food (Hot dogs, hamburgers, fried chicken, bacon, sausage, etc.) readily available.
But I am using my "free" time at work to walk the 8 flights of stairs in the building 4 times a day. Also I kicked my diet soda habit, and I actually prep my own food in the kitchen, I planning to collect my pension for a long time

On the serious tip, people (in general) like to be miserable / self destructive. Maybe it's an unconscious / subliminal thing but its there, as much as people deny it
There's a part in the Matrix movie (the first and only good one) where Mr. Smith explains to Neo that the first Matrix was pretty much an ideal situation, but the humans could not accept it (or something to that effect) so they had to make a 2nd Matrix that was more "realistic". That has stuck with me because it is pretty much true from my experience with "people"

Did Dezi change his screen name?
You forgot to post the story of how some political analysts say Trump could removed by the 25th amendment too.

Holy non story NATO does suck. I am glad they are changing things and are "scared" things might change in the alliance. Maybe now they might actually become useful. These meetings are way too long. Just short and too the point. I worked in NATO, they drone on and on. I can certainly believe that. A moribund old alliance, with no real urgency for many years and much bureaucratic filler. However I still believe the core mission of NATO is relevant, do you agree? Sure NATO has some use, but nations need to poney up to their NATO requirements (funding military for example). And the cost share structure needs to be re-looked. The US provided way too many troops and funds compared to other nations.

I like how you all attack me but give steff a pass Perhaps, when you put on your Rob glasses and make pronouncements, you precede it with IMO-
I think you are totally wrong that only 30% do not have their mind made up. IMO, probably less than 40% have very hardened views on this.
Of course it's my opinion. If I wrote it and it is not an actual fact it has to be my opinion. No need to write IMO, unless for extra emphasis. I disagree on percentages, the country is very divided after the election.

... will ... followers believe it? .. followers will never believe he is guilty ... will never believe he is innocent The only people influence-able are ... I like how you all attack me but give steff a pass See that little "?" at the end of her sentence? She asked a question. You stated how others would react. Right, she asked a question (loaded question BTW) and I answered it.

And are you feeling guilty? I said his devoted haters which may or may not include "you". If you feel guilty I can't help it I don't understand why anyone would feel "guilty" hating President Trump. There's a difference between just hating Trump and being DEVOTED to it.
I hate the guy too, but I try to be fair. he does make it hard though

There are people who want to hate him just to hate him- are you denying these people exist?
Or are there only his "blind" followers?
Talk about taking things out of context

His blind followers will never believe he is guilty
Just like his devoted haters will never believe he is innocent
The only people influence-able are moderates which I ball park it at being about 30% of people

Thanks for all the advice apart from the douches with no advice and think they are funny. ETA you aren't.
don't forget the douches that start threads with a cryptic post and think they are cute / funny.....oh wait, that's you too, isn't it?

Does this replace the House and Senate investigations?
Nope
I believe it will be ongoing investigation number 4 on this matter
Investigations:
1: House
2: Senate
3: FBI
4: DOJ Special Counsel

Lol, that's what you show up wanting to talk about? Pffft!
Rukh a "talk" indicates a back and forth dialogue.....lately he just posts and runs away never to post again on a thread that he started......
And based on current events, this is a curious topic to "talk" about

He really stepped on it this time. Not impeachable as that is hard to prove, but it's not good.
Maybe now he realizes it wasn't a good idea to bad mouth Comey on the way out too. But I doubt it.

It's gonna be interesting
Because my other co-worker complained & fwded my boss some of his rude emails, my boss went to talk to the rude dude
It did not go well. Rude dude was rude to my boss. He's a GS11, my boss is GS14 (government civilian pay grades).
I suspect nothing will happen. But it will be interesting. How is nothing interesting? On Opposite Day? Nothing will happen meaning no one will be fired or reprimanded or even talked to harshly or quietly. But there will be on going drama. Especially since I only have women on my team and my boss is a woman. They are going to keep complaining and gossiping. That's the interesting part. 😀
