Thanks @Spandauer. Is it me or does that countdown timer seem to be slowing down... stuck in treacle oozing from the glands of whichever trained and strategically-shaved creature perches, quivering, atop DT's head...

SerendipityJane · 30/08/2026 18:32

PMK from me.

I would still put $1 that come 2029 we still have Trump, or his heir (not necessarily biological - remember how the US fetishised the Romans) having decided that an election with 100% for him is a waste of time.

Don't be a piker: bet hundreds on it. Betting on something you don't want to have happening means that if it does, you can at least drown your sorrows in style, and if it doesn't, you don't mind having lost the bet.

I have absolutely no doubt that you are right. January 6 2021 was just a foretelling. The Midterms will show it up more clearly. A manipulated victory or a "fake" defeat; there's no shifting him now. He told us himself in 2024, after all. More than once.

Hey, @RedTagAlan, I know you keep up with these. How are the pro-Trump threads going these days? Quiet or the 4 usual suspects posting over and over?

I'm one of the very fortunate families that benefitted from Dolly's Imagination Library. I passed most of the books on to DC's primary school.❤️

I kept the last one I was sent in around 2012/13. I've kept it in its unopened envelope in my Chest of Important Things. I am so grateful to Dolly for everything. The soundtrack of my youth, the books I read to my DC, 9 to 5 and inappropriate films I watched with my granny in the 80s <<cough>>The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas<<ahem>>.

Difficult to tell really. I have not seen any full on pro Trump posts in ages. But there does appear to be a change of method, or at least I think there is. The incognito smash and grab post.

You know, where a new user name appears in a thread, smashes a few insults in, then vanishes. Are these long term Trumpers ? Could be. But I don't do the post history checking stuff. I prefer to take each post as it is.

I just see one regular poster who appears to believe what Trump says. But that poster claims to dislike him. I think that is maybe ideological overlapping circles on a venn diagram rather than full on in his club.

I get the impression that pro Trumpers are a bit embarrassed now to admit they are pro Trump. But maybe that is wishful thinking.

@Spandauer . Thanks for new thread :-)

Spandauer · 31/08/2026 09:12

@TooBigForMyBoots thanks for sharing your connection to Dolly.

A wonderful legacy 😊
