   What you CAN do is make an original comment that leads off with “@NameOfTroll”; that way you get your jollies without helping promote the troll’s comment to the day’s featured status.

   It’s a good idea to learn about subsetting. Some members — not all — of certain groups are extremists. If you’re going to criticize them for their extremism (and they totally deserve it), don’t paint with too broad a brush.

   Jews ≠ Israelis ≠ Zionists ≠ Binyamin Netanyahu

   Just an early reminder that the trolls will be out in force on this one. Please don’t feed them.

   Actually, Carl was showing up for the meeting of Procrastinators Anonymous, scheduled for the same room from 3 to 5.

   I’m surprised they don’t have one on staff; they could probably turn a tidy profit by subcontracting his services to other victims.

   That’s the cool thing about infinity (well, one of the cool things): no matter how high you go, there’s always a higher number beyond it.

   What’s the most dangerous job in America? President of the United States. Of the 45 people ever to hold the presidency, 4 [9%] were shot to death on duty, another 15 [34%] had attempts made on their lives, and another 4 [9%] expired on the job of natural causes — of whom 2 might have met their ends by subtle foul play and a 3rd was the only one who ever made it past 8 years. Even those who left office alive have been notable for being considerably more aged, worn, and haggard than when they took it on.

   It’s been suggested that this legal time commitment means Trump won’t be spending much time on the campaign trail (which, of course, his supporters spin as being unfair to him, part of the “witch hunt”). But he’d hardly spent any time campaigning anyway, preferring to park his behind in one of his palatial estates whence he sent out hateful, resentful, provocative tweets (or whatever they’re calling them now). Indeed, he’s spent less time campaigning in front of real people than Joe Biden, a guy who’s got an actual job and responsibilities.

    I’d be pleased if it ran 6-8 years. (Odds are they still wouldn’t have run out of subject matter.)
