i don't want the trump thread posters to lose their posting home or anything i just want a thread about trump and the gop to lol at that isn't such a chat thread. too much to scroll past without reading not enough time in the day

Just make a thread anytime he does something funny OP. That's probably a better approach than megathread garbage.

Well yeah, but for instance my downstairs bathroom has a pedestal sink and a weird tiny linen closet thing so that's where the toilet paper is there so... I dunno I chose one purely for the aesthetic choice that seemed more onerous

I think this is a good approach because like the hamburger party Trump day would have been its own thread and could be goldmined and we could revisit the posts from that moment specifically instead of trying to dig around all the other stuff in a monthly trump thread

this is a great point in favour of bespoke event threads instead of megathreads, people sometimes complain that not enough CSPAM threads get goldmined and the reason why is because so many CSPAM threads are 5000 pages long and something funny happens on like page 3999

It'd still need to be subsumed by a general chat thread but maybe that'd be less intimidating to the people who think Trump thread is a haven for morlocks and miscreants or whatever has the hot-to-trots in a tizzy at any given moment is probably a fair call at this point
Whatever gets more people posting pictures of their cats in a location I can reliably find

i took a photo of a cool cloud or funny sign or something and posted it in the trump thread and then a few hours later someone quoted it and said "I FOUND YOU, YOU gently caress" with a google map pin of the exact location

The trump thread seems genuinely nice but like the Glenn thread, it's got a big group of regulars with their own stuff going and it can be hard to penetrate into that

There are so many levels of rigour avaliable in the pvp threads. Yeah, Glenn thread is impenetrable because it assigns homework like reading The Jakarta Method or playing MGS2, but the material viewed under critical lens reveal that Glenn's right.

:)

Glenn is also a little gay goblin residing in Brazil with a himbo husband and 1000 rescue dogs. He's absolutely plugged into United States lib politics and had access when he was the most lib that has libbed with the liberalism of liberals. Somehow was the most stable at maintaining that rhetorical and moral position while the libs and landscape changed around him. Which kinda led to him being a Brazilian goblin who haunts liberal's phones.

Glenn's posts are bespoke pungi traps of high quality. He's got a posters charisma and there are a lot of posts. It is also mostly the contrarian position on most issues. He makes deals with bad actors. He's anti war. He's like Charles Barkley in that he is not a role model, he's been out the game too long, and he is basically a republican.
