LOL, I’ll keep that in mind. But for the record, I think it was the “reign” for “rein” correction that inspired mine above. Wasn’t it kaylasdad99 who gave you that little yank on your rein?
I’ve learned (painfully) how to ignore the most common errors I see everywhere, including all over this board. I can almost breeze past “your” for “you’re,” “effect” for “affect,” “to” for “too.” I’ve given up my hopes to rehabilitate the perfectly good verb, “give,” merely gritting my teeth at the new verb, “gift.” But deep inside if I’m honest, I’m DesertDog’s guy in his posted link below.
And by the way, margin, I love your rants. They’re chock full of factual data and reach the conclusions of many reasonable people.
Whew! It is quite a relief to learn we are not a banana republic, what with the POTUS tampering not just with the prosecutors in the Stone case, but also the judge and jury as well. A real load off my shoulders.
That is not the end of my anxiety though. Would it be asking too much for Trump to deny he is a pig fucker?

“@realDonaldTrump - we know many of the same people in NY. Behind your back they laugh at you & call you a carnival barking clown. They know you inherited a fortune & squandered it with stupid deals and incompetence.
I have the record & the resources to defeat you. And I will.”
You know, I don’t have an outright favorite among the many Democrats playin right now. And if this is how it’s gonna be with Bloomberg then he’s right up there in my consideration. What’s his numbers look like? Maybe add one to his numbers for the time being.
Not sure where to post this… SOOO many trump threads now. (Where did they all COME from? It wasn’t me-- cross my heart!)
Fresh Air this week featured an interviewwith Jill Wine-Banks who was a Watergate prosecutor. The whole interview is well worth listening to (or you can read the transcript).
The public AND the prosecutors have just found out that Nixon had a taping system in the Oval Office:
The bolded part breaks my heart-- “public protest was so dramatic” when Nixon refused to turn over the tapes-- given what we have just seen these past few days.
Jill Wine-Banks talks about listening to the tapes …
BTW, for those who remember what Bob Haldeman testified, namely:
