"Without comment" means the same thing, though it seems slightly less insulting somehow. Posting something without actually commenting strikes me as different.Assistant Village Idiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978011985085795099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-5776484103371897642018-01-16T19:46:15.812-05:002018-01-16T19:46:15.812-05:00I think it was "Barack Obama is a stuttering ...I think it was "Barack Obama is a stuttering cluster*** of a miserable failure (SCOAMF)," his tagline for every post.<br /><br />I try not to post any very provocative on Facebook, so if a news article is one I'm likely to draw sharp moral from, I will sometimes post it without comment. I posted one today about the feds raiding a warehouse in Puerto Rico to retrieve a lot of donated electrical equipment that PREPA had squirreled away for some reason. My readers, some of whom are raving progressives, may draw a different moral than I would, maybe that it's Trump's fault somehow. Many of them concluded that it was an obvious case of graft, while I'm not sure it was even that straightforward: I suspect bureaucratic turgidity on the part of perhaps essentially well-meaning people. Someone's probably still stolidly checking off boxes until he can be sure it's OK to release the equipment. After all, no one had sold it yet, or pocketed the proceeds.Texan99https://www.blogger.com/profile/10479561573903660086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-41191645389515125872018-01-16T18:26:53.162-05:002018-01-16T18:26:53.162-05:00I can't remember what conservative blog (Ace o...I can't remember what conservative blog (Ace of Spades?), but the same person would always post in the comments "Obama is a piece of Shit" or some equivalent as either the first or second comment. I always thought it was dumb, but was slightly amazed at how they always got in on the first or second comment.Boxtyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04371034064849356356noreply@blogger.com
