Self reporting by Bagster the Good? Don’t think it will happen.
Fascinating recitation of facts I didn’t know, even if I don’t agree with this liberal publication’s interpretation of those facts.

Conservatives’ Coming War on the Warren Court
Led by Clarence Thomas, the Supreme Court’s originalists are taking aim at the landmark precedents set by liberal justices decades ago.
By Matt Ford
FTA:
The Warren Court amounted to a third American revolution of sorts, after the original and the Reconstruction era. Its decisions on the allocation of power in American political life helped transform the United States into a liberal democracy.
...
It was a halcyon era for American liberals, but not everyone was thrilled. The Warren Court’s landmark decisions spurred a backlash on the political right.
...
McKee v. Cosby, a First Amendment case involving disgraced comedian Bill Cosby. Katherine McKee, who publicly accused Cosby of rape in 2014, sued him for defamation after he and his legal team allegedly leaked a letter that disparaged her truthfulness and character. The lower courts dismissed her case, ruling that her allegations against Cosby had made her a “limited-purpose public figure.”
...
Thomas, writing only for himself, said the court had correctly declined to intervene in the case. He then went on to suggest that the landmark libel precedent should be overturned. “[Sullivan] and the Court’s decisions extending it were policy-driven decisions masquerading as constitutional law,” Thomas wrote, adding that the court should not continue to “reflexively apply” it going forward. “Instead, we should carefully examine the original meaning of the First and Fourteenth Amendments,” he continued. “If the Constitution does not require public figures to satisfy an actual-malice standard in state-law defamation suits, then neither should we.”
A world without Sullivan would be a daunting one for American journalists.
...
Really?
Ha!
“A world without Sullivan would be a daunting one for American journalists.”
What they are really saying is that a world without Sullivan would mean that American journalists would be limited to reporting only the facts and not all the spin they gen up now.
Not in my church although we don't sing it enough IMO. Great closing hymn.
Anyone ask him why he retired so abruptly?
I watched the video and watched Mark Levin. #Walkaway is doing great things. I wonder how many people will join his movement now that Q is posting about it?
"Really?"
Well, MY psyche has been abused FAR worse over in the "Forbidden City"...
(Seen it already.)
But... We've got Gramms 'n Gramps on a mission here,
who don't need their heads exploded,
So, Yeah. I gotta side with GreenEyes on this one.

If you (the general you) think your posts are fantastic, yet you’re not getting the adoration you think is your due

Well, that took a 180, didn’t it?
haffast made the point that the thread is not made up of individuals...this thread is defined by the personalities that maintain the thread. You identify with that.
The survival of the thread has become the reason for the thread and the facilitator and moderator must be preserved at all costs. Oh, and occasionally a Q-drop is provided by the Anons (please re-read that). You are even making up words and meanings to somehow prove your independence from 8chan. That only isolates this thread. To quote James Watt...WUWT?
And, God forbid a troll shows up and gets meme’d or fact-checked by the wrong person. Then the scolding takes up more bandwidth than the replies to the trolls.
Did it ever occur to anyone that maybe some were tired of the ^unearned^ scoldings; tired of seeing newcomers/posters initially thought of as trolls; tired of the waste of bandwidth used for cloyingly-sweet fawning and self-aggrandizement that occurs even before any work actually gets done on Q-drops? Ricky, or...ransom?

Certainly, ever since lunchtime, it takes on the aura of a quilting bee. YMMV.
This is not an opus. Free Republic is still the best “pure” news aggregator on the web. It is only “conservative” because JR allows for an open exchange of ideas in the comments.
I still lurk around here because my mind works by free association. I respond to/from ideas and thoughts from everywhere, qmap.pub, here, Qwivvering masses. What ever sparks a thought or aligns with a memory. I even string some of those together to form a relevant thought. Sometimes an entertaining thought. You might want to pause and assess the linearity of perspective that was created here.
Or not.
Please, PM me with your insults...errrr...responses.
I do not support porpoise porn, but I know it when I see it.
You got to at least admit. Just the thought of and the saying of "Porpoise Porn" is KINDA funny? Just a little?
p.s. This is not the hill I choose to die on.
Clearly Trump's way of communicating is more open and direct — more attuned to the way people talk in a family at home. Family members argue with each other! They get angry, curse, cry, and eventually make up. But along the way, bad habits are corrected, long repressed feelings are brought out into the open, and family peace/solidity is restored.
So America's new Dad is airing out our Nation's dirty laundry. And the dining room table conversation he started is necessary if America is to remain a free republic, an economically sustainable nation, and a family of multi-cultural patriots.

Though it is a consideration.
“It’s better to build “communities of trust” among peers than to try to eliminate trust altogether.”
