In order to ferret out any Russians
First one must use the proper bait .I would suggest vodka and a nice salted fish or some smoked mackerel

Or a russian sniper?

Everyone I know is one breath away from total meltdown. I dunno why it doesn't bother me much, but I have seen it coming for AT LEAST a decade.... so why be surprised when it happens?

We all need to remember we are a family of sorts, and need to support each other. For some here, it's all they have. We're in trying times, for sure. But if we could each take just 15 - 30 seconds to think about how we reply to our own and how it may affect someone, we'll all be the better for it.

We are contemplating a Ban-A-Thon, Ban-derby, Banhammer Ball... :D

Problem children beware.

Is that anything like a Ballroom Blitz? LOL Sorry, couldn't resist.

In all honesty TB2K is reflecting what is going on in the meatworld. I've had several acquaintances really lose their crap the last two weeks over stuff that really shouldn't have bothered them at all. It is like everyone is running low on patience and forbearance.

What attracted me to TB2k was the deep research shared by the participants. What has bothered me for awhile is the politics invading every possible topic. Is there enough of America left to share to focus on the topic and not drag it to one pile of dog S*&% or the other? I belong to other sites where national politics are banned. The last page on the truck convey doesn't even mention which state they are in from the headlines in any of the posts. What has been a news source has turned into an echo chamber.
EVERYTHING is "political" at this point, take it , deal with it and move forward.

Heard a guy say years ago that no one gets along with Russia because they drink a lot of vodka and all they have to eat is cold potato soup, and everyone knows there is nobody harder to get along with than a hungry drunk.

The problem is that our political “leaders” have stolen the country, and there is a vast sea of seething anger, waiting to erupt like a volcano. That anger boils over into almost every topic. I don’t agree with it, but it is what it is.
Almost every issue we have can be tracked back to the greed or poor thought processes of some elected Representative or even worse, some appointed hack. In some cases, it might be a Bureaucrat w/ an agenda or a finger in the pie.

In all cases, we can only address the elected miscreants when they reapply for their job. The appointees or Bureaucrats are beyond our reach unless they get really sloppy and leave a trail for some prosecutor to follow.

Were it not for being able to vent here, I'm not sure what might happen.

In order for either class to meddle - elected or bureaucrats - access to money is the key. Without an ability to use money as a tool for tweaking/controlling, they are both powerless.

Start there. How do we design a system that exposes every dollar used by both of these groups; where it came from, and precisely where it went to?

I'm good with that. It would be a great 1st step towards accountability and transparency.

Apply those two features to our list of issues and many would just evaporate.
