Kind of fat and unhealthy - like an 18th century pampered landowner.
I'm thinking of Sir Talbot Buxomly in Blackadder the Third

The word 'bucolic' does not mean what I always think is sounds like its meaning should be.

Of course, Twitter, such a bastion of free speech that even its own AI chatbot gets repeatedly told off and reprogrammed whenever it disagrees with its owners right-wing opinions...

Also, the guy in the picture is the lone voice disagreeing in a room where everybody else wants to rebuild a school that burnt down.
So, I guess that illustrates your position rather aptly.

So your argument is "This site should be more like Twitter, which so many people have left because it is worse than here."
Yeah, that's a stupid argument.

I think it has become clear that Trump doesn't care about rules, and the people whose job it is to enforce rules have no interest in doing so anymore.

Not being even vaguely sarcastic:

At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson β€œyou regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

This is pretty damn perfectly put - incredibly concise yet totally nails it.

the reframing of ICE and CBP from "dipshit agencies for losers and washouts" to Very Special Boys who get paid when nobody else in the government does must be creating an enormous seething vortex of resentment

Now that I can get behind. Even keep his name for that. The Trump Crimes Court.
He'll be delighted his name is on it, everyone else will understand the name.

Housing the homeless in a ballroom of the grounds of the Whitehouse is actually an even more ridiculous idea than my one.
At least think it through. Use the money I raised in my ridiculous suggestion to build *multiple* locations to house homeless ongoing. Not *in* the ballroom...

That's a great idea. Ensure he's actually nearby as it happens.
But he probably won't even attend the next President's inauguration because he's becoming more of a whiny little baby every week.

IJ: "Nah that's never bothered me before. No it would just have been kind of... awkward. A bit embarassing."

The first thing the next President should do is demolish that ballroom. And sell expensive tickets to watch. And give the money raised to a task force dedicated to identifying and prosecuting every law breaking ICE individual.
