80. I don't use the Ignore function very much

Sat Dec 18, 2021, 05:40 PM

Dec 2021

and even when I ignore a specific member I usually only keep that person on ignore for a relatively short period of time. I don't trash threads because I do want to read the good, the bad, and the ugly. There are members here that I don't particularly like, but occasionally they might post something that catches my interest even if I don't rec or comment on the thread.

The one thing that I am certain of is that DOJ will move at their own pace. Their investigation is not going to be influenced by what is said on DU and they will set their own timelines while also potentially prosecuting any referrals from the J6 committee. That is their job at the DOJ and I'm not going to take the role of Monday morning QB rationalizing, questioning, and doubting every course of action.
