Concerning the thread about the Vice-President’s MacDonald’s job: PhillyGuy, you have said here (and many other places) that you support Harris and oppose Trump. Please, _stop_. Your “advice” for Harris is akin to the “helpful and friendly” advice I get from the person sitting across from me at the poker table. It is pretty fucking obvious who you really support, so fuck off with you and your advice that nobody in their right mind would follow. ---

Now, now, I’m sure if Harris would just turn into a middle/older white Reagan-era conservative man, PG would consider the world a better place ---

Just a reminder of my previous post in this thread about PG, and a compilation of people talking about his tactic of what seems like concern trolling: > [@What were you THINKING?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-were-you-thinking/991532/3185): > > Some previous opinions: (There were a handful of posts after that one.)

His schtick makes sooo much more sense when you realize there are only two kinds of legit Americans: Rightists and Fascists. Anyone else fails the test of True American and can be ignored or deported as suits the mood of TPTB and their braying horde of backers. ---

Maybe not _giant_, but yes, asshole. I can see being annoyed by her, but he’s viewing it through a misogynistic lens. His comment that Jimmy Fallon never gets loopy like that says it all. Say what? > [@Pleonast](#): > > I peaked into that thread and what a train wreck it is. That thread is just alternating posts of **wolfpup** kissing Maher’s ass followed by **wolfpup** explaining that he isn’t really defending him. ---
