Don’t you have underachieving children to raise? What was nice about his absence was that threads were allowed to be about their intended subject. Hurricane is all about coming in and derailing the conversation so that it is about nitpicking with him, rather than discussing the topic at hand. It’s trolling and it’s been allowed to go on for a very long time. ---

Can’t post links right now (at least not without a bunch of effort), but he says he’s in the IDF after I asked him in the Ilhan Omar, post 926 I think. Also, I’m not sure if it’s that thread or another, but someone said something to him in Russian and he responded in Russian. ---

I asked a mod about it shortly after **Okrahoma** was banned. I took some initiative the other day, and asked a mod to look to see if **Northeast Refugee** was a new legit poster, or a returning sock. No word yet, so make of that what you will. I make no claim as to whether all of the above-mentioned posters are the same person. ---

Every single public figure, even Moscow Mitch and Lindsey Graham, agree that it was disgraceful and stupid, even by his standards, for Trump to essentially invite the Turkish dictator to come massacre the Kurds. But not HD. Even on this issue he supports his wise and powerful leader. (No link; I only see HD’s “thinking,” when someone quotes him to rebuke him.)
