Thanks, Hawggus. Hope you and the fam are well.

Should have driven 101.

Stop spamming my profile page and MHS. If you have something to say to me, or about me (your new found hobby) please continue your off topic rants about me in football and politics threads. You know, where you you've helped us understand the definition of comity as you've made it your mission to enlighten the board about your profound revelation about the horror of T.

You seem to be doing just fine without any directing from me. Thanks for the offer.

I don't discuss things in profile messages as they aren't private and unhinged people like TJR troll profiles and uses what's in these messages to fuel his rage.

I think you would have made a really good judge.

I'd be comfortable with my liberal ass standing in front of your neo-con-quasi-libertarian-random-self because you're pretty fair.

Fantastic.
Exactly what I needed to know. Gracias senor!

Legal advice vs. friendly advice: legally--any piece of paper etc that says 'haha you can't sue me' is great. Shit changes and blue turns black when straits get dire. Friendly advice--if you are a relationship person and value those relationships as the special sauce that gives you an edge, lean into it.

Bottom line, even an email that says 'hey, despite the risks, what do y'all think about doing this [once a week/periodically/with restrictions]' that will serve as a waiver or assumption of risk.

Everyone on the planet is going through this. Be a courteous and thoughtful human about it and, with proper representation, you'll come out fine no matter how weird it goes. But if you think someone won't bat an eye by signing a 'I promise not to sue you' thing, then do it (every time).

I was kinda hoping you might have some friendly advice for me. What do ya think? I love my staff and they LOVE me but at the same time, why give ghen a rope to hang me, just in case?

What dk you think about some documentation absolving me of ckvid liability? Think thats smart?

It was in P and R during the early weeks of the Trump presidency.

I was in the wrong for being sympathetic to leakers in the admin who were seeing all kinds of issues with transparency and proper conduct, while also being wrong for pointing to the emoluments clause issues/situations with the Trump administration/Trump properties being used when the white house had visisters. I.E. diplomats/heads of state would stay at Trump properties during their time in the country.

I was also hassled for saying that Trump was incompetent, that being a businessman had nothing to do with being a good politician, and that we'd be screwed if we had an actual national emergency.

A phrase you used, which I do recall was "none of this is moving the needle for me."

It just reminds me of the TS arguments, CK, and JF - generally, not just with you- and it dawned me on how much shit I take for having unpopular opinions on the board that end up being right. And it makes me wonder, why do I put myself through it? And I honestly don't know why, because **** me running it gets old being in my spot. I don't think I want to be here anymore. I'm tired of people getting taken more seriously than me when they're not as correct as I am, or insightful. Being a workaholic sucks, but at least I see some payoff. I don't see the payoff for being unappreciated by a bunch of people who need years to see what I can figure out in minutes.

I will have fond memories of this place. Be good.
