I joined in 2011...And never read any election stuff in 2012 because I never cared as much.....

I think I was spared.

It is an interesting question. We could ask Arch and Sedge and CG to volunteer but they'd have to stay up all night. We could invite retired Mods to come back, I suppose.

Just mod anyone who seems sober for the night and let things sort themselves out.

Congrats on reading it all. I've done that too, and it takes a while.
My middle finger got sore from scrolling the mouse, so I've gone old-school. Page Down button!

48 pages in 26 hours ... wow. At that rate, this thread will be done by the 23rd October.

With the endless material trump gives us and those here bending over backwards and twisting and turning trying to defend every word he says, 50 pages isn't that bad.

Key words.

How long will it be until I ban myself...

Discriminating on the basis of BAC is bigoted.

You know...that is either the most brilliant of marketing ploys or one of the worst ideas of all time.

Especially since some of us get drunk really really quickly.

Both at the same time?

Free international press, the Reddit spike would seem like a grain of salt.

Still not seeing a downside.

Trump suing NS for real?

Oh please no, the last time Max tried advertising, this happened.

Wanna bet Max's next book has to do with an election?

As someone who seems sober when I'm not, I endorse this plan.

And the agitator of the story will be some one with striking similarities to trump.

You don't think that's a downside?

The point isn't that he'd win, it's that NS would have a cash flow problem defending the suit.

We should throw together an outline. I'm sure he'd like that.

He likes one-word titles, how about Yuge?

Symone Sanders is on CNN ripping Trump's new add to shreds, saying that because he praised Clinton's stamina during the last debate, that this D rated political add will hurt him. Mainly because he acts like a Washington insider politician.

I was saying that Trump isn't actually suing NS.
