I often hang out at Daily Kos, and it’s depressing how many ideologically pro-biden cheerleaders there are, there, as ideologically pro-trumpers, elsewhere. I guess the great game depends on having some on both sides.
It’s really sad how many Americans put stock in their so-called “Democracy.” First, it’s controlled from the beginning by the corrupt two party system, then there’s a layer of voter suppression, filtered through the electoral college (more voter suppression) and a huge cloud of lies and media.

Field-expedient repairs are sometimes expected. You haven’t got all the gear to make a proper fix, so you log a maintenance report saying something like, “I did not have the correct threaded bolt to replace it correctly, so I forced the wrong bolt on to the nut with a pipe-wrench, just to hold the thing together until we got home.”

Are you following?
