18. I'm disappointed to find you joining into a flamefest

Apr 2017

because of my fond memories of our having sharing a couple of live action threads of events. Since I’m answering every post before closing this out, I’ll say to yours that “RW” and “fell for it” have nothing to do with this thread o’mine or me in anything.

Instead, I typed off the top of my frustration, emotionally, from: 1) Lingering upset over the election results; 2) the shorthand that the Senate as a whole participates in installing the nominees; 3) lingering disgust over the fawning obsequiousness of many (yes, mostly Repuke) senators at the hearings; and most pertinently here, 4) yes, I was narrow in specifying SESSIONS here where I was corrected about how many Dems voted for him, but my fuzzy reference was to the general cases of additional Dems who voted for other of the repulsive nominees.

So, it was an instance of my occasional sloppiness, not what you ascribed it to, later in the thread after enough explanation was available to you.
