1. Alva, I've been stewing about this for days. Polsters comments need to be in reverse chronological order. It's silly to have the first thing up be a conversation from 10 or more years ago. I imagine most people are looking for a thread from last week, not last decade. The site's looking great. It just needs a few more tweaks.

2. I’d agree with this, as long as the threaded comments are in normal chronological order. That is the original comment, then the first reply, then the second reply, then the insults because the original commenter had nothing logical to say, etc.

3. Trump — the choice of dictators around the world!

   “Even Vladimir Putin … says that Biden’s, and this is a quote, politically motivated persecution of his political rival is very good for Russia because it shows the rottenness of the American political system, which cannot pretend to teach others about democracy,” the former president told a packed stadium in New Hampshire.

   Trump also basked in praise from Hungary’s authoritarian prime minister Viktor Orbán.

   “Viktor Orbán, the highly respected prime minister of Hungary said Trump is the man who can save the western world,” Trump said. Later on he touted his relationship with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, “who is very nice.”

   They can spot a perfect stooge from half way around the world!

4. Ex-GOP county chair quits Colorado state party's governing board, cites attacks on fellow Republicans

   Dave Williams just can't seem to help himself: 

   "Our GOP Party is already greatly splintered, and [Williams'] actions have furthered divisions instead of unifying. How does this help us?" Sokol added.

   1. I also appreciated Sokol's dig at Williams:

      If you feel strongly about a policy position and feel that fellow elected Republican legislators are on the wrong side of the issue, then you are free to become a candidate and run against them. But you should voice your policy position and disapproval of fellow Republicans as a candidate, not as a State Party Chair. And it is clear that your tactics are not helping you fundraise for our party. The state GOP fundraising results have been abysmal. Quite simply, we need money to win elections. Your divisive rhetoric has led to these poor fundraising results, which hurts all our candidates’ election chances.
