@ramede I'd love to imagine that the other 100 million voted at all! I live in a state with one of the lowest voting rates in the nation, and truly don't get what people are thinking when they don't choose to vote.

@steggy Thank you for doing so.

@EBecker Thanks for telling me. I hadn't realized that. Makes it all the more interesting that so many people are reading that article, doesn't it, when the style section probably normally doesn't get those kinds of hits.

William Lindsey :toad:

@mwmkbrady Thank you!

@mwmkbrady @philip_cardella I must have misunderstood Philip, because I thought that was what he was saying, and what I was agreeing with.

William Lindsey :toad:

@Tom_Joad You've got that right.

Trump would be the man Jeff would love to run the IRS as he continues a rather extravagant sending spree on his new wife Lauren Sánchez. Plus I don't think how tight Trump was with Epstein gets enough attention

William Lindsey :toad:

@mlbellar Thank you for the explanation. Yes, the media have danced around — deliberately so — how tight Trump was with Epstein. I suspect there are more stories there than we've yeat heard or may ever hear.

@jef Thank you for the clip.
