Apparently “Borked” has become an English word

Yes, over thirty years ago.

I think EPSTEINED will also become a verb in the American lexicon.

Good to remember how the Democrat Party began its abuse the confirmation process decades ago for rank political gain.

It’s been almost forty years since it was coined. Yes it is a word. Just like Swalwelled is

I think Hagle(d) is an English word too. Hyping fake news to think you are going to make a presidential run for office and a the hyped announcement you don’t run.

Posting a link:

General:
<a href=[web address]>[title]< /a>
Example:
This: <a href="http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1179145/posts">Iran starts atom tests in defiance of EU deal</a>

Posting an image:

General:
<img src="[web server location]">

You can't just snag a favorite picture from a desktop folder...it has to be hosted someplace on line to be posted here.

Best bet is to save the image to an image hosting service, I used to use Photobucket. In Firefox right click and select "Copy image location", in Safari right click and select "Open image in new tab" and copy the address in the address bar. Other browsers have similar tricks.

Example:
This: <img src="https://www.kidsdiscover.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/theodore-roosevelt-laughing.jpg">

Tip: control the size with "height=nnn" like so:

This: <img height=200 src="https://www.kidsdiscover.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/theodore-roosevelt-laughing.jpg">

Posting a video:

You can pre-cue a YouTube video by adding a t parameter to the link. Like so:
<a href=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDOjBJ19CSs;t=35s>Bill Ayers and Obama</a> Posts:

Borking should’ve been named Kennedyism after Ted Kennedy.

McCarthyism isn’t named after any of the Communists (or “wrongfully accused” Communists) he went after.
