Don’t beat yourself up. I’m sure not everyone saw it yesterday. (I think I’m apologizing) ;-)

I’m not sure what you are doing.

I was making fun of Nothingburger’s “I”m in before” comment, because your comment “We all did.” made his comment a “nothingburger”.

So a play on his username.

Aw c’mon ... don’t spoil an old conservative newsman’s fun.

Yes, I missed that post, I admit — but only because I was watching Trump’s victory lap speech in the East Room of the White House in its entirety.
