If I had a time machine, one of the first things I think I'd do would be to pop back to Free Republic, circa 2006, and post something like this:
Hi, everybody, this is Eric Pode, FR timetraveler from the year 2016, talkin' at ya!
Just wanted to let ya know that ten years hence, thousands of Freepers are gonna support a Presidential candidate who: thinks President Bush lied about WMD to get us into war, thinks 9-11 was President Bush's fault since it "happened on his watch", and thinks President Bush should be impeached!!
I wonder what the reaction would be.
Would I get the zot straightaway as a Dem plant or DailyKos troll?
Or would everyone just back away smiling, as befits a harmless lunatic?
This is drawing conclusions in different contexts which leads to different results
Actually, for a long time Jeb! was dead last among my choices for the GOP ticket. Feel free to check my posting history if you doubt this.
But as of last night, he is closing in on next to last.
I would go back when Gold was cheap and buy the hell out of it. or travel back to 1980s before the weapons ban and buy a bunch of FN-Fals or Colt AR15 when they were affordable.
I was honestly surprised to see that this was written by you and not some blogger. :-)
Eric, excellent point but I hear a herd of zombies approaching.
They must smell actual human beings.
Don’t think I’ll stay to find out.
Fascinating post.
I’m wondering the same thing myself about Trump.
We have a chance to escape him and nominate a sane conservative.
He’s definitely imperfect but is he strong.
He can lash out at people who can’t hurt him.
He can tweet the heck out of Megyn Kelly.
But could he pick on someone his own size?
Not without several bodyguards.
Bullies are cowards
A lot of us who liked Bush wished he would have fought back against his enemies and all the people who lied about him.
That was not his style but I’m sure he had reasons he considered valid for not doing so.
We could hold one accountable now. Hint: He has a blond comb-over, short fingers and a tiny petulant mouth.
You’d waste your time machine on that?
Wouldn’t it be simpler just not to click on the post?
My hair stylist calls it "duck lips!"
That's pretty apropos, don't you think?
