The convicted felon and rapist has certainly managed to distract DU

[RAB910]

Some MAGA crazy shows up on his golf course with a Republican-issued AK47, and DU completely forgets about:

1) The old felon declaring his hatred for Taylor Swift

2) His VP admitting he lied about Haitians to further his racist agenda

3) Loomer

Hopefully, the rest of the country will be less easily distracted. Every other post in the Greatest List is about the crazy MAGA guy with a gun.

1. Paying attention to people here, I notice most are adept at multi-tasking

and have the mental agility to hold several topic in their heads.

2. What makes you think we're distracted? It's a current event.

We comment on current events. That doesn't mean we've forgotten about other current events. The world keeps turning and we aren't idiots, thank you very much.

3. Not all DUers are that easily distracted. I can't even stand to hear any news about tRUMP and his doings, in effect,

who gives a flying f**k? I don't certainly.

4. Well, it certainly distracted M$M.

The news cycle shifted all back to him again.

5. I agree, I am waiting to find out what we missed, but I think some of it

in Ohio at least, was to distract from Mastriano's corruption, which has not been spoken much about. Taking over $9 million from his campaign to open a new Mercedes business.

6. What should the spread of topics be, and in what numbers?

13. I truly dislike the CONTENT POLICE

I ESPECIALLY detest getting content advice from someone without a STAR

7. You must be fun at a party. nt

8. I don't care for parties, and I don't like the convicted felon and rapist telling me what I should be talking about

[Torchlight]

10. I'm guessing most people don't like others telling us

what we should be talking about.


And apples used to cost a dime.

9. THANK YOU FOR THIS POST!!!

[Think. Again.]

11. You do realize you, yourself, just made a post about the shooting, right?

[Skittles]

12. we haven't FORGOTTEN

we're not IDIOTS

[servermsh]

14. Yes, there is barely a point to being here today, sadly n/t

15. Welcome to the last 20 years.

Newsflash: news stories get attention on DU. Sometimes, it's undue or excessive attention.

If you think #1 and #3 are more important than an attempted assassination, you would be wrong.

There have been dozens and dozens of threads about all three.
