USENET WITH BETTER GRAPHICS.

I was troubled enough by the doddering ficus seemingly calling for regime change in Russia (which he and his crew have been walking back ever since) to dust off an old meme and launch it on social media.

Not a bad ratio, for those who worry about such things, and 32,062 "engagements" is likely a personal best.  What's intriguing about the comments, which people who worry about ratios treat as possible negatives, is that in addition to the predictable "But Trump" (the medium is not a good place to offer my thoughts about the past thirty years of uninspiring presidents) and "Russian stooge" there are supportive comments, as well as social media style rivet counting, e.g. "ice cream, not pudding."

Whether any minds get changed on social media, or if it exists to be cathartic, and everybody understands it as such, is more thinking than I want to do right now.
