I left quite a while ago
But I'm back today because, on this day of all days, I wanted to be with 10,000 other people celebrating their asses off.

And you should be celebrating. I'm sure many of you, like me, were calling Nancy Pelosi's office, calling your representatives for days (besides all of the other times we called), and are about to call again to push for a vote.

But, as Stephen Colbert said, this is a thing that turns out to be The Thing.

Finally!!!!!!!

 :rotf:

Finally!... then what happens? ... 'cause the House STILL hasn't brought a vote to begin Impeachment to the floor...

7. Yeah

While I want to hang out (and my post count says I hung out obsessively, for years), I'm just dropping by, because there are things that really, really need to be discussed and they are not to be discussed here.

I'm just here long enough to enjoy this moment with 500 of my friends from the early days and 10,000 others.

Thank you kindly for the welcome but I won't be taking off my shoes. Diplomacy was never my strong suit, which worked when we all were united against a common enemy.

But even today, of all days, I see that there are enemies I can't mention. Dangers I can't point to, not here.

But ****, isn't it just amazing that the Shitnerf (45) just impeached himself?! That is the craziest thing.

2. I'm not celebrating yet...

Yeah, it's good to see the progress, but I don't want to spike the ball on the 10 yard line.

8. You can ask

But I can't say. At least not with candor. I will now attempt diplomacy and fall on my face, no doubt.

This place gave me life during another terrifying time - the Cheney/Shrub years. Even during the Obama years, there were infuriating things with the obstinate Repugs.

Then came the time when honesty needed to be turned to the mote in our own eye. There was no tolerance of that and I was brought up short.

A friend had spent years criticizing this place for "lockstep issues" and I spent an equal number of years defending DU. I loved her and I have fond memories of those early days, even though we were fighting a losing battle, we fought with courage, determination and not a small amount of grit.

My friend was right, though, and when I saw it, it was time for me to leave.

I only dipped in for a bit today and I'm already twitchy AF. My celebratory mood is tempered by what I can't say.

These days, I follow various FB groups and remain a WRP follower. None of them are in any way as grand as the original Grand Dame, but there I can have conversations about all sides of the issues without getting sent to jury and having my posts deleted.

Choices.

Clear as mud, eh? I did my best, dancing around it.

34. WRP is William Rivers Pitt

the writer who caused me to show up here in 2002 or 2003. I stayed about six years longer than he did.

I am on his very long FB "friends" list. He can be as autocratic as here but in a different way. A way that I can handle at this stage of my political life.

14. Celebration

I do not see that we have anything to celebrate over. I do think that Pelosi is doing the right thing. I also think that the path is full of dangerous curves. I think that the best course is watching and hoping.

39. But

you called her office, right? Like I did, over the weekend (mailbox full) and again on Monday, when her phone lines were busy (I haven't heard a busy signal in years) and then on Tuesday, when I steamrolled her office staff as they tried to say they would only speak to her constituents.

I don't watch and wait. I push. I push hard.

I use to have daily Twitter conversations with the Shitnerf (45) until he blocked me and I considered continuing when he had to reinstate me, but a conversation gets boring when it has no back and forth, ya know?

Yeah, watching and waiting is not how I roll.

And now that - less than 42 hours later - the entire Gotcha Trump! hoax has collapsed and several goalpost moves have failed? You're doing :o WHAT :o with each others' asses? :rotf:  :tongue:

Translation:

I didn't get my way and left in a huff.... and nobody noticed. So I decided to wait until everyone that knew me left or was banned

Or option number two:

I'm a mole and needed to go deep silent for a while... to be awakened when something really good is happening.  That day is today!

I can neither confirm nor deny the latter.   :censored:

...
These days, I ... remain a WRP follower 6. None of them are in any way as grand as the original Grand Dame 7, but there I can have conversations about all sides of the issues without getting sent to jury and having my posts deleted 8.

1 The terrifying Bush years ... in which none of her fears became reality but she proudly learned nothing from it.

2 The "Rethugs" refused to surrender and instead did a little to us of what we'd been doing to them! Waaaaaaaaa! No fairrrrrr!!!!

3 A disappointed Berniebot, perhaps? Made the mistake of point out some of Hillary's ugly?

4 A friend tried to point out what is hard-coded in DU's TOS and DNA - toe the party line unquestioningly and with a smile or get OUT. And tavalon argued about it for years :thatsright: .

5 tavalon "saw it", but learned nothing from it about the nature of Prog ideology, ultimately, herself. She just left.

6 ::) And how many more of Pitt's "revelations" have proved false in the decade plus since the "24 business hours" expired in disappointment? ::) What a True Believer! :rotf:

7 That "Grand Dame" never existed, it just took the end of the OhBummer! years for tavalon to run afoul of its orthodoxies. I wonder whether she was one of those who helped run off the Hillarybots in 2008 but then as a Berniebot knew she was experiencing the run-up to the same sort of purge.

8 Well, tavalon is right about one thing, DU has not changed. This article augurs the possibility of her little corner of cyber-paradise turning nasty ... she'd best decide now whether to be a target or one who targets others.
