    President Biden appeared to mock reporters as they shouted questions at him >> during a meeting with Israeli President Isaac Herzog at the White House on >> Wednesday.

    I have no sympathy for the media who treated Trump like shit for 4 years and conspired to install a hair-sniffing pervert dementia patient.

    Oh I don't have sympathy for most of them, either, but it is hypocritical
    of Democrats to act like it is nothing when they bemoaned Trump doing it.

    Stolen elections have consequences...

    Yes, they do, as does influencing an election by only reporting on certain stories.

    I just think that if he pulls these bizarre stunts in public, just imagine how busy his handlers must be with him in private. He must be medicated beyond planet earth at this point. That space-cadet-stare of his really tells all.

    I don't know if you've been following it or not in Canada, but there is a congressional race in Pennsylvania between Dr. Oz, the TV personality, and a guy who had a stroke back in the Spring named Fetterman. Fetterman's handlers agreed to a debate. One of the early questions to Fetterman was what he thought made him qualified to hold the seat.

    His answer started with, "Hi, good-night," followed by a pause. Several of
    his other responses were jumbled.

    Since he is a Democrat, he is still leading in the polls, last I heard.

    Circling back to Joe, it wouldn't shock me if he ran again and won.

    We have the Nov 11th midterns to turn that vegetable into a lame duck. I also would love to start seeing some investigations into the FBI, Fauci, and many other appointed and corrupted entities. Lots of people need to be cleaned out. Similar to what Musk is doing at Twitter.

    Just like there is no way in hell that Biden got all the votes that were reported, there is no way in hell these polls can be accurate. I never get called for any polls probably because my views don't reflect what the media wants.

    There are about 20% of the population you can write off as being too ignorant to understand common sense. However, there has got to be 80% that can tie their own shoes and should be able to vote for someone that will make their lives better and understand basic economics.

    licies.

    Or a lack of good ones.

    The entire goal of the extreme left is to force everyone to be supported by the
    government so they can stay in power and control. Keeping the super rich elite
    super rich, and the general population working forever and getting nowhere.

    Sad to think, but it sure seems that way.

    I'm convinced of the theory that he's really not President; theres a group of handlers who are running America right now. The handlers entertain his rhetoric and senior-moments, clean up his mess whenever he goes off-script.

    And run the press out of the room before they get a chance to ask questions.

    The mailer I notice you like to take little digs from time to time about being "shit" with no intelligent arguement other than "it is", actually has at least three different ways of logging and reporting problems. Logs can be terse or detailed... a setting clearly documented.

    In fact every setting is clearly documented, nothing for interpretation. Every setting has an F1-help screen with very clear English explanations of what to do and what not to do. Almost as if the author dealt with plenty of stupidity and moronic accusation from lowercase subject-matter-trolls before.

    As you love to be Captain Obvious, I'll steal your thunder for a moment to proclaim that NO mailer will operate correctly if the settings are WRONG.

    Because that was the case with him when he politely asked me to Teamviewer
    into his system to get Scinet working with Deon... in less than a minute I fixed two glaring mistakes with his settings and everything worked perfectly.

    I didn't need to look at any logs. He offered to pay me for my time. I politely declined. He's a very nice guy and a hardcore DB fan ever since. He knows that if something is not working its the SETTINGS.

    Yes and so did I... I dropped it from here when Netsurge/Frank pulled an Irish Goodbye and vanished. His unique personality made that net very popular and in the hands of someone else it just turned into another dead useless Othernet.

    Myself and several others tried emailing, calling, texting him... you name it, he lives here in Toronto. Nothing... no replies. But apparently he was answering replies on some Commodore restoration business he was part of. That did not sit well with some Sysops who just wanted a simple explanation "why".

    he knows because i txted him.

    thanks, have a good new year.

    As you love to be Captain Obvious, I'll steal your thunder for a moment to proclaim that NO mailer will operate correctly if the settings are WRONG.

    Because that was the case with him when he politely asked me to Teamviewer into his system to get Scinet working with Deon... in less than a minute I fixed two glaring mistakes with his settings and everything worked perfect

    I didn't need to look at any logs. He offered to pay me for my time. I

    so when did you help him with scinet?

    i got the other msg networks working but scinet is still not working
    and i think it has not got any msgs since even before the other issue.

    can you remember what year? that would be helpful because i'm trying to
    go through a process of elimination to eliminate the issues. i can pull
    backups to when it WAS working and see what happened.

    thanks,

    It was at least a year or two ago. Covid nonsense was still happening.

    I did take the time to explain the settings that he had wrong. He said he understood... evidently not.

    If he does not understand how to configure a mailer or is too busy with school then he should not be part of message networks. Most expect regular polling
    and a basic skillset-level. If the ZC of a net asks him to fix something
    wrong, he will now come to you because you allowed this to be "your problem".

    And after months of trolling... now you want my help.

    Wrong echo for this. There is MIN_BBS and the D'Bridge echo on Fidonet.

    Logs can be terse or detailed... a setting clearly documented.


    I'm elite. I don't read the documentation.

    Is SciNet still up? I had it as a net but removed it a while ago because I thought it went down.


    I don't think it is. the dude that was carrying it runs a wonkey bbs that emulates an old bbs software. he has sysop email disabled.

    it should have gone down a long time ago when frank disappeared, anyways.

    i was just checking into it because I fixed the settings for his other
    nets.

    Yes and so did I... I dropped it from here when Netsurge/Frank pulled an I Goodbye and vanished. His unique personality made that net very popular an the hands of someone else it just turned into another dead useless Otherne

    Myself and several others tried emailing, calling, texting him... you name he lives here in Toronto. Nothing... no replies. But apparently he was answering replies on some Commodore restoration business he was part of. T did not sit well with some Sysops who just wanted a simple explanation "wh

    frank actually did that multiple times. he would disappear for a long time
    and then come back. people thought he was in the hospital and people (including myself) emailed him and got no reply.

    deathr0w from entropy bbs and myself were with frank from the beginning and
    we gave him a lot of ideas. eventually he acted like he didn't even know me despite us talking every day in emails and irc. he literally acted like he didn't know me. so he started the bbs services thing after i had all my
    stuff setup and he took the same scripts i used and stamped his name on them.

    anyways, he was entirely focused on FACE. He wanted to be mr retro and he was real good at pretending to be people's friends. He basically he gave
    everybody the ghost treatment in time.

    I would check in on him because I like to see people fail, especially someone that tried to copy what i was doing. He says he's IT in a steelworker's
    union and that should be enough money but he does all these side businesses.
    He was trying to be a professional photographer, he was trying to do these websites with IT news, and all kinds of weird stuff. I don't believe it ever panned out. His several disappearances were never explained except that one time he said he had the swine flu.

    Anyways, a friend to everyone is a friend to no one. He was a fair weather friend to everyone. I just don't get why he put in all that effort.

    i think i have it working. he was probably rushing things.
    there are other nets that arent working but i think they may be defunct.
    I have 5 of the active ones working.

    I've seen plenty of people that know everything about FTN fuck up things royally. They should know how to set things up. I've even fixed their work
    on other people's systems. I don't remember much of this anymore because
    it's been so long. I had Shannon Talley and Bryan Turner show me how to
    setup nets with various softwares but it's been a loooong time. it's not rocket surgery, though.

    And after months of trolling... now you want my help.


    that's a bit of a stretch. I just had a question.

    Wrong echo for this. There is MIN_BBS and the D'Bridge echo on Fidonet.


    if this was synchronet i could move it to another base.
    I had to literally create a msg menu in one of his 100 menus.[D.[D.[D.[D.[D.[D.[D[D.[D.[D.[D.[D.[D.[D.[D.[D.[D.[D.[D.[Dhidden msg menu in one of his 100 menus so could change conf, change msg area , read and newscan properly to check if things
    thanks for everything!
