While disappointed in the outcome of the election. There are positives too.
1 - he can not run again, he's done. He can try all he wants and make some things happen but in general - nada.
2 - No pres gets anything done in 4. Look at history.
3 - He did make history and while I always think and know History is always in the making - this one is a reminder of the 1880's. We have not seen a president have two terms separated. It's unique. And in our lifetime. Wild.
4 - The second amendment got a break because of abortion - women as always are screwed .. in more ways than one (enjoyable or not). There is so much wrong here - coat-hangers rejoice, the large majority need you now. Tell you what men, have a kid - in your belly and tell the rest what to do, NO. You can't - FU. Again, IMV.
- For Me. He'll be a lame duck pres, nothing can be done long term. Short term stuff (sure to make himself look good) .. Okay. I expect him to be golfing often and doing nothing for the country in general. Rep Party will be looking for a new candidate in 2 years. It is an odd blessing in disguise. IMO/IMV.

I'll edit often and apologies to Profezzor for the diatribe.

Seconded.

Ordinarily, I like a healthy debate on issues and I think people should be able to do that in a respectful way. There is so much biased news coverage that sometimes people directly sharing information with each other is the only way they learn what is actually going on, especially as people retreat into information bubbles that only reinforce and amplify their own existing views. We are increasingly becoming two countries that occupy the same physical space but have a fundamentally different view of much of what is happening in the world around us.

That being said... The amount of toxic rhetoric, hate and vitriol being expressed right now in our country has been dialed up to an eleven. People are already canceling Thanksgiving dinners with their families with the holiday still a month away. Not only will many friendships not survive this election, plenty of marriages will not survive it either.

This close to an election, a passionate plea to support one candidate or another is not likely to sway anybody; and making that argument by saying negative things about the other candidate is more likely to just invite conflict with those of a different view.

Maybe we can all take a step back from that ledge a bit... Stick to seeing our friends, neighbors and fellow countrymen as witches and demons only when they are dressed like that for Halloween!

And maybe table the political discussions here, at least for the foreseeable future...

If it's not too much to ask, can we please stick to Marvel comics topics. Political views can be detrimental to friendships here, and cause unnecessary disputes amongst its members and lead to a toxic environment. Thank You.

Yeah, I couldn't remember which sites I used, totally forgot. I signed up for the newer version of Tinypic anyway. At least I have options, I just have to remember I have them. :P
I do remember why I got rid of photo bucket, they had decided no more free accounts and game me a count down to when it would end if I didn't pay. LOL.

Wow, a lot of my images are gone. I think I got ride of photo bucket. LOL. Using Imgur or Tinypic now. LOL


I mostly use Imgur now. I didn't know the new Tinypic existed. I checked it out and I like the interface. I had to replace one of our pop-up image up-loaders a while back and I wasn't really happy with the replacement, so I just replaced that with Tinypic. Much better! :)

Silly me, didn't know where to look or I would have the Andrei stuff there. And yes, the same Andrei who could not talk about his project, now he can or at least a little.

Thanks for finding a bigger image, I'll probably post that the Guild site but not worried about it. :)

At Gambit Guild, we have a long time member who was hired by Marvel to draw the cover and interior art for Uncanny Xmen #10 due in Feb. It's very exciting for him and for fans because we know how much he loves Gambit.

The Gambit thread was archived, that's cool. I just wanted to share the joy of his good fortune.


I can't find a bigger images. :(


Is that what Andrei was working on that he couldn't talk about? That is so cool! 8-)

If you are referring to "The Ragin' Cajun - [GAMBIT] Appreciation Thread!" as being archived, it is not nor has it even been archived. It's in the X-Men Appreciation threads sub-forum of the X-Men boards, same as it has been for as long as the forum has been here. I just made a test post in it and it went through fine. :-S
