Sometimes there are topics which fit in Real World Event Discussion, more than any other subforum, but they seem to get buried amidst the political threads, which are currently overwhelming the "recent posts" summary pages

So here can be a listing of those topics. They may not be the most up-to-date list, but it will be an attampt - and contributory help is welcome.

This is also because the search engines seem useless lately.

Wanted to post this for starters, and get the list going soon.

Not sure what you're driving at here. I noticed your comment on the Joss thread, and about how some things escape RWED, or some such.

I posted about the Eclipse here in RWED. Others have posted things too... not dealing w/ politics.

So... what's this about ?

YOU JUST TURNED THE ECLIPSE THREAD INTO SOMETHING POLITICAL, HYPOCRITE.




COPY AND PASTED

If we had REAL ' rule of law' then there would be many folks being held accountable for using the IRS to silence political speech, running guns under Fast and Furious, lying about illegal e-mail servers, destruction of govt files and storage, ... the list goes on and on.



YOU DO REALIZE BOTH SIDES DO ALL THAT, RIGHT? DON'T LOOK DOWN YOUR STUPID PIOUS NOSE AT THE OTHER SIDE WITHOUT LOOKING HARD AT THE CRAP YOUR OWN CULT DOES.

Actually, Brenda did.

No offense to Brenda. I like her.

Just setting the resident crazy lady straight again.

the Joss comment was later.

I'll get to this when time, to help set the template.

I saw that.

I'm waiting for SECOND to post some more anti-Trump screed, like graffiti, wherever it goes. Doesn't matter what the topic, with SECOND.




Trump is not the problem. He set himself against the Deep State's agenda. And the Deep State's been heading for WWIII for years.
As for you, you're just a Deep State useful idiot, furthering its agenda. So I hope you enjoy cesium in your coffee. You've earned it.

Well, it would seem THIS thread certainly won't make the list within the thread.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw him do that, right on the live news broadcast. Melania had enough sense to not look, right after taking the glasses off.

Don't know if Brenda was watching a US news feed, or if it was shown later on Canada TV News.

Again, glancing at an eclipse w/ out glasses is just what humans do. It's silly to single out one person , simply because you don't like them, to mock and insult them over something that's completely trivial.

Okay Jack. I did insult the man. But I am not apologizing for it as that is how I feel.



No need to apologize to anybody. He's not my Dad.

I wasn't even calling you out. Just setting Wish straight.

I only had to reply again when you acted as if you didn't start the political bickering in the non-political thread.

I think your PM is a POS too, so no harm - no foul.

I call that your average Republican approval rating with the MSM pitted against them the whole time. I was on the other side of things with GWB.



That doesn't say anything about your statement that I commented on though. A large majority of Americans just don't give a shit either way, as is evidenced by the fact that only roughly 130 million voted in the election.

I doubt that many of the ones who don't approve of Trump are going out of their way to personally insult him everyday like you do either. You need to step out of your echo chamber. You pretend to be an independent moderate. Maybe you are, but you just watch too much liberal television.

that thread was posted in the Headline Discussion forum, which I had generally assumed was regarding Firefly. But perusing the thread titles in that forum suggested that I've been posting some topics in RWED which could have been in Headlines.

I don't recall if RWED was always so heavily political, like it is now. IIRC there were spurts of politics in election years, like many other message boards. 2008, 2012 before this marathon.
