A sad statement True Dough Sep 2016 #11
"Chicken Little" posts are even more so. Sorry if I offended anyone. catbyte Sep 2016 #10
There is no "chicken little" in the OP though True Dough Sep 2016 #13

Only he/she did not do a very good job of it.

It's beyond ridiculous. It is uncalled for in this thread. The OP actually expresses optimism that things are about to get better and still gets slapped with a "you are being monitored" warning.

Unbelievable!

And you've been around here quite a while. No insinuations should be directed at you.

11. A sad statement

That someone could be here for 10 or 15 years or more, made plenty of respectable contributions and then be ostracized for expressing doubt about the state of the current campaign.

That nutcase Dump certainly is not normal though, so we get really uptight when it appears closer. With good reason, he's an absolute disaster.

it just seemed to me the news coverage, and the few polls today (fox news, USC) weren't trending downwad. Im hopeful next week will trend toward the good guys
