I’m starting to notice a lot of this “could we just stop talking about bad stuff in politics”.  
It seems to be coming from a particular subset. Hmm…

I think he meant closer to the early 80s, when “Dukes” was big.

The “I voted for Trump will you please stop talking about all the stupid shit he constantly does and then lies about while claiming credit for the good stuff Obama did and has accomplished nothing despite an R congress and oh yeah JOBS” subset.

Objecting to having things written down is as silly as saying, “What’s with these medical textbooks? An experienced doctor should know what he’s doing!!!”

An Experienced Doper knows to pay no mind to the constant stream of stupidity from our ostrich racist Nazi-apologizer.

The way I read the Dope, I read posts and don’t look to poster name unless the post itself stands out. And invariably, when I read something incredibly asinine, I now think “I bet this is an **acey** post” and more often than not, I’m correct. Rarely is it a good thing when I can identify a Doper’s ‘voice’ through a post.

That just might have been within the rules. Definitely a judgment call.

He also doesn’t understand why a sheriff can’t enforce Federal law.

A) Ignore it completely  
B) “Well, I didn’t have all the facts and for some reason it’s not my fault I was wrong”

I get that **aceplace57** has always been stupid, but it’s been mostly an inane sort of stupid. Is it new or new to me that recently he’s descended to a new level of Trump stupid.

Option D – kind of a variation of B. Furious backpedaling, insisting that I misunderstood him, and then some kind of “can’t we all get along” sort of statement.

This might be one of the worst side effects of a Trump presidency. These idiotic mouth breathing redneck racists now feel like they have a voice.
