    Does anyone know why they left and whether there's a chance they'll return?

      I would but I'd be accused of TDS. Jolly and George both left in the Spring, I think (my guess) is it was exhausting to constantly ready and/or defend Trump's extremely chaotic and controversial first 100 days, especially as some of the criticisms were coming from traditionally conservative posters who normally they don't have to debate with.

      I hope they return, among others. I know I left from about 2012-2020 for various reasons, mostly due to a career that didn't let me check in on TNCR during the day and a life as a newlywed and new dad.

      @mark I noticed the decreased traffic I think in April, and lately it's been extra slow and I've had the same thought you did. But @mik is also partially right, it slows during the holidays.

      Either way......I can't imagine TNCR will ever really die as long as we keep paying @klaus his ransom money to keep the servers online. There will always be a knucklehead or two with news to share or opinions to voice.

          He's fine. I'm in touch with him on Substack. He's spending his writing time on more artistic pursuits. Quite a talented poet. George and I text quite a bit and I see him on FB.

          I do miss Jolly and Copper. I do not think it's a matter of being tired of defending Trump, but a deep conviction that what Trump is doing is what the nation needs. In some ways I agree with that but I'm not crazy about the heavy-handed way he goes about things.

            I miss Aqua and George.

            Those other two, not in the least.

              TNCR is dying. Of AIDS.

              Education is extremely important.

                      I know he was real, but there was a question as to whether he really died.

                        Yes, I think that was verified.

                          He and Lucy visited me in Brooklyn and stayed in my apartment in Canary Wharf when he came up for treatment. He even had a key to use it when I wasn’t there.

                          I was supposed to see him towards his final days but he called and canceled. He was obviously unwell.

                            Lucy - I was trying to think of her name.

                              I didn’t know, or at least don’t recall, that Rick had passed away. When was that?

                              I remember Phlebas sudden passing. For some reason I also recollect there was some controversy surrounding it, can’t remember though what it was about.

                                I was supposed to see him in February of 2010 when he called to cancel. He died shortly thereafter.

                                  Phlebas committed suicide.

                                        It wasn’t mentioned here at the time. Though I think it was years later when his daughter popped in to say hi.
