Tag: Open Thread

The monthly social/general Open Thread goes up on a Friday evening (NYC-time) mid-month. Please natter/chatter/vent/rant on anything you like (within reason and the bounds of the comment policy) throughout the week. Other Open Threads prompted by specific events will happen every now and then.

N. B. Consider Topicality: please avoid duplicating discussion points on an active thread, and volunteer to take thread-jacks to a #spillover thread

One of the few politicians who is actually capable of taking policy points that are both complex AND mundane and making them both interesting and accessible? Man is gifted.

RNC Open Thread
