Yeah, Cham2 reads like a full on Trock, JAQ and concern trolling and all, looking for a gotcha moment. Fishy may have been your rando internet CT crazy who found a new pond to splash in. ---

Now **chappachula** has decided to give **Cham2** some moral support. The latter however insists he is a “moderate” and hasn’t voted GOP in “ions”…classic concern troll stance, and one we’ve seen many times by now. ---

I went back through a bunch of chappie’s posts over the last few years – he’s another one of those who’s constantly doom-and-gloom for the Democrats, that they’re supposedly always ignoring “flyover country”, always going too far left, and always doomed for the next election. It’s like he’s the NYT Opinion page come to life. Very boring stuff. I don’t think he’s a troll, just has very boomer-Democrat views on politics. ---

> [@Riemann](#): > > While we’re at it the MAGA Fortnight = sqrt(-1) \* metric fortnight Perhaps I should elicidate, since some here are concerned about math and the pending pop quiz, and especially since the term “fortnight” is a Britishism rarely used in North America. It comes from the Old English _fēowertīene niht_, meaning “fourteen nights” (or equivalently, “fourteen days”); hence, “two weeks” (1.27 Scaramuccis). The MAGA fortnight (scientific abbreviation _ **Mf** _) is a fortnight that includes the imaginary component i, and has been an important measure of time in American politics since about 2016, and denotes a period of imaginary time after which some momentous event (such as the magical disappearance of a plague) is supposed to happen, but doesn’t. This is because, according to the rules of math, the imaginary factor in the _ **Mf** _ causes the promised event to become imaginary as well. ---
