🚮 ↞ 🧠 I reckon you will have to clue me in; I cain't ping myseff?
***How do you make a post with nobody in the address bar***
Now here I think the gray matter is still pinging: just leave it blank. ⬜️
Interesting observations.

This is the second time I think he’s done that - may be more ... but it does stand out. The first time I read the same way ala good but seeing again this time I’m inferring sarcasm. She’s at the center of so much of this.
Dogs? Last time I checked I think we've got five, but anybody want one will have to check with the grandkid who left the pup "just for a few weeks".
...I have found that a "few weeks" has a real nasty habit of turning into years where those kids are involved. LOL.

Re "Bad Language", particularly on FR but also on the 'net or any other public place.
I refrain but occasionally will add a "colorful metaphor", strictly for effect, to carefully selected audiences (i.e. not including ANYBODY's children and occasionally vast swaths of "adults"). Period.
I will admit to a certain level of amusement when what I'd consider amateurs at cursing indulge themselves in F-bombs etc. My mind's eye always seems to add a speech bubble to the speaker and all of the profanities are in illuminated Gothic script (just to make sure they got that attention, donchknow).
It’s nice to hash things out, but let’s not try to force everyone into lock step agreement.
__________________________________
I don’t believe we try to force everyone into lock-step agreement. At the start of this thread there was a mix of answers to a visitor without problem. I’ve seen interesting, healthy debate on topics in your post.
Some equate rebuttal with attack. If we accept and encourage without rebuttal those who advocate views that run contrary to the core purpose of our thread, we lose our thread. “Open borders” and the equal embrace of fundamentally opposing ideology often causes loss of identity, in a country or a thread.
There are so many threads available to those who wish to advocate/recruit for the logic/opinion that Q is not real, is a larp etc., but this is the only thread where we can assert, support, and research Q’s strategy and purposes in relative peace.
That “relative peace” is hard won. We underwent months of intense trolling and demands our threads be deleted. We were over-run with those of opposing opinions to the point where the thread almost failed a few times because it was hard to locate research posts among all those insisting that we were stupid/crazy/gullible and that Q threads must not be tolerated on FR.
That’s the problem right there. The insistence that we embrace and cultivate arguments on this thread that Q is invalid/fake/a larp are followed (or accompanied by) demands that Q threads be prohibited and thread-overrun.
If I went out to the forum right now and posted on another thread that Q is real and drops are informative, my ideas are unlikely to be embraced, encouraged and cultivated as equally valid. I’ve seen many pro-Q threads on the forum posted by other FReepers locked because “There’s already a Q thread,” but I’ve not seen a limit on anti-Q threads.
You said, “I hope I will NOT browbeat them into going along with my view.” I don’t think browbeating people into going along with our views is the real problem. We’ve been ridiculed as crazy/stupid/gullible for so many months that we are (naturally) often in “defend-our-thread” mode because we remember those months when our thread was like the rest of the (anti) Q threads in the forum.
I recommend we give visitors (more) time to ask questions before deciding to mitigate anticipated thread disruption or anti-Q recruitment efforts by avoiding them or deeming them trolls. Disruptors and visitors may ask exactly the same questions or express the same doubts. Directing them to review provided links may be the most interesting, welcoming way to help noobs check out Q in relative comfort (high quality content). I think FAQ pages linked from the thread table can help. Some legitimate visitors today may be those whom used to troll our threads in the past. We don’t always know how to welcome visitors or discern guest from troll, we’ve made mistakes, but we are learning.
Good points. POTUS is definitely calling her “lovely” for a reason. Maybe more than one reason. It is not accidental, for sure.
Do any of these initials match that long list of initials that Q posted ?
AM JR JB DB CG
Decolletage definition: the low-cut neckline of a woman’s garment
She seemed obvious but the I don’t think she was there at the right times
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Brand
She served as the United States Associate Attorney General from May 22, 2017, until February 20, 2018, when she resigned
And I think DL is
David Laufman, Chief of the Justice Department’s Counterintelligence and Export Control Section
Besides, on the Q threads, you can learn new words like Decolletage. So you got that going for ya....
To add to what you were saying about newbie questions, I lurked on these threads for at least three weeks before I started to have ANY real abstract model in my mind of what is going on—absorbing content, making connections, seeing topics turn up repeatedly, connecting back. That’s why these people who spend an hour researching the queue phenomenon and then write articles debunking it crack me up.
I had seen the Al Smith dinner when it aired live, but I too just watched the video.
I’m not sure what I enjoyed more..Donald’s digs at Hillary, how Hillary’s demeanor changed during the speech to ‘if looks could kill’, or how the Catholic clergy on the dias started sweating, were wiping their brow, and glancing toward HRC and Cardinal Dolan to view their reactions.
Agreed. Jim Rob don’t wanna hear a bunch o’ whinin’ and bickering coming from the Q sandbox. Imagine how tiresome that crap must be.
Yes. Several found on this part of line, bold is mine ....
[FBI [JC][AM][JR][MS][BP][PS][LP][JB][MK][JC][SM][TG][KC]]
"JB" is found several times, once in a WH line (I think Biden), and then in FBI line (I think James Baker), and then in CIA line (I think Brennan), and then in a "LEAKS" line, I think more likely Brennan, but could be Baker of FBI.
"DB" and "CG" are not in ANY Qdrop.
Shucks and Gadzooks, all rolled into one!
Men, sharing women's vocabulary. What next? This is a slippery slope.
