Post of the century right here:

A quagmire is a situation which is hard to get out of and only gets worse the longer you stay in- think Iraq.

I don't know much about iraq, i was too young to like know/understand. All i know is we asserted ourselves, got into some fights, and it was a bad like war. I think. Not even sure if it was a war, or if we won.

[Mr. Morden]

Bronz-the-romantic's funniest use of "both sides do this" yet:

Both sides do this, but it is pretty embarrassing. Everyone has their seductive lovey-lovey moments. Let's not pretend that we don't text like this to our lovers.

[Mr. Morden]

A lot of liberal Americans are jealous of the UK today--a snap election. A lot of liberal Americans wish that the U.S. Constitution had a amendment about a "snap election"--to force Trump and Pence out after 100 days!!!

However, midterms (midterm elections) can't come soon enough for some Americans. Other Americans don't even know what a midterm election is. They're busy watching Kardashian.

Some think of the word midterm as a midterm exam in high school or college!!!

If we had a snap election, Democrats would be wise not to run Hillary Clinton again for a snap election. Maybe Kaine, Warren, or Gillibrand.

We do not have a parliamentary system of government in the U.S. This is why America is unique to other countries. 2018, 2020 is on it's way.

Now that's a funny interjection into an international elections thread.  Tender needs to model his Austria posts on that style, IMHO.

[Mr. Morden]

Wow, Spark's thread is on a role, first BRTD, now this:

She made an updated version that's more readable in the bottom right:

[Mr. Morden]

I'd like to ask for this thread to be locked and new one, named for someone far more deserving, created.

Ahem:

Next thread must be named for Morden

I accept your nomination. 

[Mr. Morden]

This actually prompted me to laugh out loud:

His YouTube channel has literally one subscriber. And it's me.

[Mr. Morden]

Not sure that this is really "comedy goldmine" material as such, but we need a "WTF mine" for this particular poster.  Keep in mind that the topic was "What was the worst day of your life?":

09/11/01 Crashing of Dot com Bubble with Enron Reelected Dubya over Kerry-Edwards 2004, but with Gephardt, Kerry would have stood a better chance in debates

09/15/08 Crashing of Stock Market elected Barack Obama

09/19/15 Death of Mom caused homelessness, Hospitals were cutting funding for terminally ill in 2015, which ushered in a GOP wave in 2014, due to Obamacare

09/22/16 Move to California, which has better job opportunities than Illinois

I outed him in the mod cave over a month ago.

If you knew it was a sock account over a month ago, then why did you let him keep posting?

[Mr. Morden]

That would be Nym or Muons job. No?
I could have muted him, But I'm not going to unilaterally do that.

Informally, my policy when I was a mod was pretty much that if I was sure it was a sock account, and at least one other mod agreed with the evidence I presented, then I'd put the account on mute until Nym came around to do the ban.  But your mileage may vary.  If we've now reached the point where a mod presents evidence that an account is a sock account, and no one addresses it for entire month, then the mod board has truly gone to hell.  

EDIT: To clarify, the reason Dave invented the 50 point bomb in the first place was so that regular mods could at least put sock accounts and spammers on mod review if Nym wasn't around.  That's what it's for.  Just make sure you're sure it's a sock account before using it, because it's difficult to undo.  That's why even in fairly obvious cases, I would typically wait until one other mod agreed with the evidence I presented, to make sure I didn't screw up.

[Mr. Morden]

Hi Dave - will you take me as your bride?
Thanks,
Kamala

did you roleplay as an elitist coming to shutdown his coal mine?

[Mr. Morden]

What would the fascist avatars actually look like?

We have a new Tender on our hands:

Trust me, if you look through my hard drive all you'll find is hours and hours worth of VERY well-developed women banging.

In a thread titled "Opinion of abstinence-only sex ed":

Just make the kids join Atlas.

[Mr. Morden]

I'm like 99% sure Greedo isn't actually a teenager and is just trolling you all.

I'm 99 percent sure he isn't actually a teenager, but I don't think he's trolling.

I’m definitely 16 especially since I was born in 2001.

WHAT IF HE WAS BORN ON DECEMBER 1 2001 THEN HE'D ONLY BE 15 INSTEAD OF 16 THINK ABOUT IT

Umm, this belongs in the Forum Community board.

The lesbian world is more socially liberal and fiscally conservative whereas the anal world is more socially conservative and fiscally liberal

This poll shows more than what might be obvious at first glance. For the GOP/leaners' "prefer experience" numbers to be that bad, one can infer that most if not all of the suburban fruit has been shaken from the tree.

I think there are plenty of fruits left in the Republican Party.

[Mr. Morden]

Booker lies in bed every night fantasizing about power and how everyone will line up to kiss his neoliberal feet.

Don't let BRTD read this.

He's a Neocon who wants to transition into a waterfowl.  If you're trying to put together a diverse well-rounded internet discussion community, he checks two boxes.

Wow congrats for coming out, Ukraine. Very brave.

[Mr. Morden]

Oh, Atlas:

He was anti-Semitic towards me and I'm not even Jewish.

[Mr. Morden]

To people of color, the Southern Strategy that the Goldwater conservatives, like Dole, Reagan, Nixon and Goldwater is covert racism, not overt racism. And it was the Hoover administration closeness to the Goldwater wing of the GOP and his ties to outside groups like China and Russia, which didn't properly survelliance the political heavyweights, that caused their untimely deaths.

This post gave me cancer but, damn, it was worth it!

It makes me yearn for a What-If timeline co-written by olawakandi and Yougo1000.  Imagine what the former could do with the Polo-Iraqi Federation.

[Mr. Morden]

This should really go in the WTF mine:
(thread is about which of the female presidential candidates is "most formidable")

Harris due to her direct link to Obama. He was Indonesian and Black and so is Harris who is of Middle Eastern decent. Obama has ties to Bay Area and Harris lives there. Obama had Speaker Pelosi and Pelosi will be Speaker come 2021.

Not sure where to begin on that one...
