    The biggest conspiracy theory here was the one Mueller debunked. Remember that one? About collusion. It is not a conspiracy theory to suggest that Mueller has dementia. That is simply the product of his performance. Even the most liberal pundits acknowledged his obvious difficulties. The guy clearly has some type of impairment that resembles dementia. Anyone watching that performance, if they were honest, reached that conclusion.

    Time limitation implies bizarre Mueller conspiracy theories were ever relevant when discussing Stephen King but I'd say the statute of limitations was up a month and a half ago.

    And I haven't given you any rep points? I haven't even used the rep button period in years.

    You support one of the most outlandish conspiracy theories in history but then discount an observation of Mueller as having dementia because it was the product of a conspiracy. You can't see the irony of that? Then you lecture others on what they should or shouldn't discuss here. In terms of why this is "relevant when discussing Stephen King," it is because King spends much of his time on Twitter discussing politics. That has been explained a couple of times. You don't have to like it. You could, for example, ignore it and we would have moved on long ago. I'm all for sticking to King's books etc. Political discussion leads to the kind of useless argument we have here. But tell it to King not me. If he makes political statement, then others are going to discuss them. He is a public figure.

    But that’s not what you’re doing. Bringing up bizarre statements on Mueller having dementia had nothing to do with what King was saying. It was completely off-topic. We get it, you support Trump and you’re upset King doesn’t like him. Maybe take your own advice and just ignore his tweets.

    For my birthday, Molly--aka the Thing of Evil--gave me a new shirt. She suggested I wear it today. She further suggested she might tear my throat out if I did not post a picture of it on Twitter. I must do her bidding.

    No, coronavirus is NOT like THE STAND. It’s not anywhere near as serious. It’s eminently survivable. Keep calm and take all reasonable precautions.

    About :45 ago, King tweeted:

    Note that Trump’s coronavirus team is all male, all old, and all white.
    If that were true (which it's not: he has at least two women up there, one of which is non-white, and a few people that don't look all that old to me, although I suppose that comes down to how you define "old"), and even if it were relevant to the quality of work being done (which it's not - you could more easily make the opposite case, that it's better to have an older group than a younger group to manage crises), why did he look for this right off the bat during this news conference? Wouldn't you listen to what's being done, then maybe take a few minutes to read a transcript or coverage of the concrete steps coming, and maybe only after considering the life-and-death angle, only then apply the woke identity politics filter? Why did he do that first?

    It may seem to those who agree with King's politics that I live to bash him on this stuff, but I really don't. Up until a few years ago, I regarded most on the other side of the political aisle as well-intentioned people who, by and large, shared my goals of a good, free, prosperous society, but had different priorities for how to get there (some people still fit this description). But in the last few years, left-of-center politics has become a demented pit of bullshit, where it's okay to applaud a train accident because Republicans were on board (remember King's tweet about ol' Russ and his down-home wisdom?), where it's okay to smash someone's head in with a bike lock if you brand them a "Nazi" first, and where socialism is back on the table. King isn't responsible for this social devolution, but it's sad that someone I otherwise admired (for things like saying "find out what they don't want you to read, because that's what you need to know" and he obviously cares for ordinary people) embraces any of this lunacy.

    What it comes down to is: feel free to disagree with me - but why be a total fucking nut about it?

    How do you know he hasn’t been considering what’s going on in the weeks it took Trump to take action?

    King apparently doesn't realize he is an old, rich, white guy living in a mansion surrounded by a great, big, beautiful wall to keep people out. The crowds at his books signings are 99% white. He is another out of touch celebrity surrounded by sycophants and trying to say all the politically correct things for a fringe crowd that views him as the enemy. It's amusing in a way. The desperation to stay "hep."

    So this is your argument?

    King: Trump’s border wall is an expensive and ineffectual vanity project that he lied about getting Mexico to pay for.
    You: Yeah but in 1991 you got a fence for your house because you didn’t want your wife to get raped and murdered. Checkmate, librul!

    Walls don't work because planes exist.

    Nobody is hopping on a plane to get over SK's fence.

    Lots of people have fences for lots of reasons...like to keep dogs inside the yard and/or home protection, etc.
    How does a private fence equate with a country's border fence/barrier? Like apples and oranges, man.
