I doubt that, given his pathetic statements yesterday about our country and who was responsible for election meddling.

Flagg still lying about Trump being under investigation, calling it a "conspiracy."

So it goes like this:

F: He's not under investigation...repeat 1000x over the last 3 months.

(turns out Trump is under investigation-Trump even admits it on Twitter)

F: Once he's cleared of this, you liberals sure will look stupid.

(two weeks later)

F: He's not under investigation, you liberals and your conspiracy theories.

Righties want to talk about anything other than Trump. Obama, Hillary, poor people getting home loans, personal responsibility, blacks shooting one another in Chicago (hardly the worst city btw, but they only are capable of repeating what their right wing media talking points tell them to), trannies...pretend UE numbers...you name it.

Anything but Trump.

That's not how they calculate UE anyway, stupid.

And Obama wasn't "claiming it", the Department of Labor was/is "claiming it", stupid.

Suddenly though, highly educated economists, working for the bureau of labor statistics, who compile employment data and who have provided reports to our government for decades aren't reporting accurately. Yea...sure, stupid.

I think social media sucked away too many people to allow forums (especially small ones) to build back up.

GnR is a niche market online. The hardcores have essentially moved over to mygnr (and they are in the red every month.) There simply aren't enough people to spread around all these forums anymore.

Why would anybody new sign up to a forum, when all they have to do is click on a button to join a group on FB? Or follow somebody on Twitter?

Honestly I think the biggest draw to social media is self absorption and the "rewards" (likes). Many forums have incorporated this too, but it's not the same. Forums are more anonymous. FB is all about YOU the user. Your interests are secondary to YOU. Forums are about the topics first and you second (or third.)
