    How the hell did a thread about Trump turn into a discussion of a 12 year old thread on this board? Amazing.

    FWIW, I think Dewey rocks. Probably in contrast to many of you, I met him personally. It's amazing how many of you judge him based on a few bits of coarse-grained information, without knowing any of the details.

          Reminded me of an old comedy film series, Carry On...
          one was called 'Carry on Regardless'.
          There were 31 Carry On films made, I wonder if they'll make a 32nd in honour of Trump.
          What would a good title be?

            Hu? No idea what you are talking about.

            Meeting somebody personally gives a different and wider perspective on a person than merely chatting on a public internet forum. It gives a better approximation of that person's character.

            Which, by the way, is a reason why I don't understand why a few of us never want to meet or see anyone else from the forum. Makes me wonder whether they pretend to be something different from what they really are.

              Yup, its ironic that the loudest voices here have never made known their face. Yet we have to accept them when for all we know, they are Russians here only to stir the pot and make us vote for Trump. Its a thing you know?

                Not sure of the title, but I definitely want him to be played by Kenneth Williams or Charles Hawtrey.

                  It might surprise a few people here to learn that I am actually an MMA fighter. Particularly those who've met me.

                    For some things, personality nor details matter. In person, he may be charming, personable and a joy to be around. I'm sure he has decent people skills, or he wouldn't have a church, no matter how far some churches have fallen from the Bible.

                    That doesn't change the fact of his being apostate.

                              I think he means paint.

                              I was only joking

                                Jealousy is most certainly a green-eyed monster.

                                  You laugh, but anybody remember Angelique? (I think that was her name) A couple of posters were clearly considering marriage proposals before finding out she was actually a gentlemen in his late middle age.

                                      The symmetry of this thread is magnificent. Carry on..

                                      Reminded me of an old comedy film series, Carry On...
                                      one was called 'Carry on Regardless'.
                                      There were 31 Carry On films made, I wonder if they'll make a 32nd in honour of Trump.
                                      What would a good title be?

                                      Not sure of the title, but I definitely want him to be played by Kenneth Williams or Charles Hawtrey.

                                      A deliciously hilarious casting.

                                      How should they cast Sid James? As a kid he reminded me of our neighbour two houses over. He was a true cockney, born and raised in east London before the war.

                                        This doesn't happen most places. It takes old, passionate assholes that are utterly convinced they are right about whatever we are talking about.

                                        Except for Jon. Or maybe Klaus. They're not as old as the rest of us. They're just passionate assholes.
