That’s a good read! Finally, something uplifting.

Is that really all that different from somebody who says "I used to be a Republican and now I'm a Democrat"?

Not at all

I agree, no difference. The rest is just semantics.

Of course. They will try some Ukrainians.

He was good. Very watchable.

It's like that recent viral video of Bill Maher saying something like, "I didn't change, the Democratic Party did."

It’s funny to watch extreme leftists on twitter call Maher a traitor. Lord forbid he should think and speak for himself.

Then what happens when your next party betrays or even disappoints you? You go back to your former party and, so on?

Gotta pick your battles, Vinny. Whatever issues are most important are what you should vote on, in my opinion. So yes, you might end up back in your old party. Why not?

… 2. Regarding bogledude's political transformation? It reminded me of sports fans who change their support / evaluation of their teams on the basis of one win or loss. Not really exactly like that but definitely being too swayed by somewhat recent events. Well, I think that’s an unfair characteriz...

Well, having a problem with the GOP does not mean endorsing the Dem shenanigans that you listed. I don’t like those either.

I actually feel sorry for the Russian kid on trial.

Jan 6th. The gerrymandering shenanigan's. The norm busting they did to Merrick Garland. The Texas private abortion civil suit law. The vague anti-CRT laws. The draconian state laws they've been saber rattling over once Roe is overturned. A lack of revulsion towards kids in cages. Their indulgence t...

You are correct! Good catch
I saw something the other day that was very Not the Onion. Hearing voices from schizophrenia is now something like “non-consensus realities.” I’m all for not stigmatizing mental health issues, but sheesh. What a joke.

Is this something that needs to be applied to the "Permanent Portfolio"? ..https://www.bogleheads.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=46704 … I agree it would've missed a lot of the grief, so far at least.

It's not so much that the liberal voices have come back, it's that most all of the conservatives stopped posting. If none of you noticed that, maybe that also explains why. This is what I mean to say. I don’t know if it’s most , but a lot of conservative, libertarian, and conservative-libertarian. ...

It’s baby formula shortages turn in the spot light. I wonder what humans did for the approximate 300,000 years before it was invented.

Well we had fewer pregnant men back then.

Finally, as the forum historian, I'd like to see you provide just one instance wherein someone complained about this forum being run or dominated by liberals I could point you to the thread I have in mind, but as he deleted the post (and wrote “I guess it wasn’t funny”) I could find better ways to ...

No, you’re right, joypog. It has totally been a libertarian hangout. But, enough members have left that it’s hard to tell where the majority is. Definitely not far leftists, of course.

People have complained several times that this forum is run by or dominated by liberals, but I think you have chosen two funny topics here (for the gyro forum). i would wager the majority is still pro gun ownership rights (I am, even though I don’t own a gun) and tired of race stuff. Not racist, but...

I’ll see you both later at my tar and feathering

Good reminder. It looks like this fund almost hit the exact top. Impressive.

You mean bottom?
Oh, you mean its inception.

I agree.

HB said gold would move during inflation. If we take his word at face value, we can conclude we've only had mild inflation these past 2 years despite what the CPI and other figures indicate. Yup.
