People keep sending me strange things that Thomas Ravenel is Tweeting. I feel like I need another post today, so I’m just going to quickly hit the low lights.
Let’s start with the fun stuff. In the photo above, Thomas got kicked in the head by a polo pony and it looks like he had to get stitches.
Because Thomas Ravenel posted this about himself, I’m going to assume he think this makes him look like a kind and charitable person. Do you see the problem here? He reminds of his orange hero. They both post lots of things on their social media that make them look ridiculous. Yet, somehow they are under the impression that it makes them look good. I also find it amusing that he is eating at McDonald’s on Valentine’s Day. Or eating at McDonald’s ever.
Today Thomas sent out a flurry of tweets. Apparently, he is having a hard time accepting the fact that Southern Charm is filming without him. Southern Charm is not promoting anything at them moment. The show hasn’t even gotten an official go ahead from Bravo for the season. They are filming under sort of a probationary period.
He thinks Bravo owns media outlets that are saying bad things about him? Bravo hasn’t given him a second thought and is doing zero press about Southern Charm at the moment. They have only restarted filming like a week and a half ago. Is he high?
Thomas Ravenel Is Obsessed With Patricia Altschul
Yes, we know you to be of such fine quality that you would never do such a show. You demonstrate your upstanding character and your “quality personhood” by calling a women older than you a whore. That’s apparently what you consider classy. And your commitment to Whitney was you jumping right on the bandwagon, when Whitney who you didn’t know from Adam showed up to cast you on the show. There was no arm twisting, you were eager right out of the gate. Then eventually you got fired were not offer a contract renewal because of your sexual assault case. Then, quality person that you are, you took a plea deal and shelled out a lot of money to end the case.
And finally, Patricia Altschul seems to be getting under his skin today. Why? I haven’t seen her say a single thing about Thomas Ravenel. She’s busy pushing her caftans and trying to get a deal with HSN. She doesn’t have time for him. Meanwhile, Thomas needs to rest up for his polo match in Aiken tomorrow. He’s still on the polo circuit and will probably be in Sarasota until mid April or until his team is finished or eliminated. Then he will probably head to Aiken, the next city on the circuit for a while. So, he is not even IN Charleston to be bothered by the filming. He sure seems butthurt though doesn’t he?
Jeez, he’s such a jackass. And damn, I’m so sick and tired of all the misogyny. Dare I say, TRav is such trash.
I read on somewhere on social media that Southern Charm has started filming and Kathryn and Thomas are giving it a try again. I didn’t believe it for a second.
Sounds like someone on social media conflated something I posted here. Southern Charm started about two weeks ago. I also posted that Kathryn wanted to have Thomas on the show as part of her storyline, coparenting things, drop offs, pick ups, getting along. But Bravo nixed that idea and I think that is partly why Thomas is so pissed. The fact that Kathryn suggested that whole thing to Bravo is TOTALLY bizarre to me. Since filming keeps getting pushed back, he wouldn’t be around much anyway. It’s polo season. But I suppose she could have done a drop off and pick up in 6 or seven weeks when he goes to Aiken. /shrugs. It’s not going to happen though. Bravo has enough things to hate about this show at the moment.
I tried to go back and see where it was that I read it, but I didn’t comment so didn’t figure it out. It’s too bad because this used to be one of the best shows and now they can’t even figure out who and what to film. Kathryn might have had the idea of co-parenting scenes because she fears this show is on its way out and then what?
I agree it was one of the best when it started. Charleston is so beautiful. I loved Cooper, Patricia, the historic buildings, etc. I never really liked Thomas, I thought JD was sleazy, and I could not stand Landon, but the good outweighed the bad. Now, the whole show is not interesting. Production did with this show what they have done with others…they steered things away from the draw, the uniqueness of the show and made things about fighting, drunk antics,etc. I loved RHOBH too w/the mansions, wardrobes, vehicles, parties, but that focus didn’t last long. The entire last season was puppygate. Another season was pantygate. Production has ruined these shows.
I couldn’t agree with you more! I mourn the loss of the true RHOBH. Southern Charm was sort of an opportunity missed. It’s too bad the changes in production and cast mis-steps happened. I think a show could still be saved with Patricia, Kathryn, Craig and possibly Cameron. We’ll see.
Did TRav do his last season w Trashley & he said he was quitting polo because of his kids? One episode where he did the last ride? He’s so full of shit
I wish the pony had kicked him harder…
HAHAHA! Well said!
Didn’t Thomas supposedly ‘retire’ from playing Polo, now that he has kids?
Isn’t he MOVING to Florida?? So how are they going to do the custody arrangement? Will they go with their father the entire summer and with their mother during the school year? It’ll sure be interesting to see!
He’s not moving there. He will be there until mid then he will go to Aiken for another month or two of polo Then he usually goes out to Sarasota for a bit. It’s polo season. Kathryn usually flies back and forth to pick up the kids on Thomas’s dime..
Rough life, T Rav. No wonder he is so out of touch with reality…..and, SO entitled…that’s how he was raised. POS
(and, omg, we got new servers at work and a new spam filter, and my TT notifications aren’t even coming through to me anymore. I’m so sad…but, will just have to go to the site periodically. thanks again for the great recaps and info, TT!)
I hope the hell not! Big, HUGE mistake. I don’t get it. I’m a 54-year-old single mom and my son has more manners than T Rav.! He is his own worst enemy. Save yourself and go off social media. Focus on your children and work. We’re the same age. I shouldn’t have to tell you this shit dude
No worries Bravo didn’t let him come on even for a phone call as it stands now. That said, the second attempt to film isn’t going any better than the first so this show might be done.
I find it ironic that he says a show that spews venom about him is not very charming, yet he calls Patricia a “whore of a mother” and he’s a victim of her “world class bitch” smear campaign. She’s not posting anything about him, so who is the one spewing hate here…?
You hit that nail on the head and the fact that his spelling is horrible
He is SUCH a disappointment!
TRav literally makes my skin crawl and I’ve never even met him, thankfully. I don’t follow him on social media either. He is a rich man’s version of white trash and treats women horribly. Too bad that polo pony didn’t kick him in the head several times and extremely harder, although I seriously doubt that would ever improve him in any way – you can’t fix loser that easily.
yep..I am dissapointed in the polo pony.
???too funny
Yeah. He’s a has been……. It is sad though that I actually looked forward to this show.
From the very first episode, you could tell he was an entitled, overgrown frat boy with boundary issues and horrendous manners. What is it with the ‘moi’? Is he Miss Piggy? His French is so cringe-worthy that Macron should threaten sanctions against the US for his butchering of their language. I wish someone would beat his ass like his mama should have. Can you tell I don’t like him, lol?
His French SHOULD BE flawless as a descendent of an old French Huguenot family! Lord knows he bragged about it enough on SC. Yet his pronunciation reminds me of Beginning French students (in high school NOT college). How embarrassing! His tweets seem to indicate he began a coke binge Friday night & continued all the way through Saturday night. He’s SO transparent.?
Well today is a polo day. Maybe he is getting kicked in the head again right now. Does that whole knocking sense into people thing actually work?
Shame that pony couldn’t knock some fucking decency into him, huh? Wishful thinking I suppose.
Shame that pony couldn’t knock some fucking decency into him, huh? Wishful thinking I suppose.
(This may have gone through twice, not used to commenting from my phone here. Sorry)
Thomas is an entitled narcissist asshole who will never take accountability and responsibility for his actions. Attacking Patricia on social media shows what an immature self centered jerk he truly is. I hope Miss Patricia totally ignores his childish spoiled bratlike posts. Butthurt doesn’t even begin to describe him he is an awful person period.
I wonder what Whitney thinks about Thomas spewing nonsense about Patricia.
I love Whitney! I’m sure he’s cursing TRash like crazy and if Whitney is hanging out with the guys already, I’m sure Shep is the ONLY ONE that still talked to TRash! We All know how Shep LOVES to be the ULTIMATE ignorant butthole that he ALWAYS is and is probably rubbing it into Whitney all of the things TR says about his mother… Then Shep Laughs about it right in front of Whitney’s face. Grrrr
He is cringe worthy for sure but so are you for having to throw your ‘classy’ shade at our president. The artical didn’t need or ask for it but if course you being ‘so classy’ had to throw it in there. How about an article with your ‘opinions’ about a sitting president left out?! Or would that be too hard for you to handle?!
Not when the person occupying the oval is a danger to our country, no. And it was appropriate to point out that his supports like Thomas are also either really terrible people, stupid, or both. Now run along. Perhaps you should your time signing up for junior college.
P.S. I tried to make my shade less classy for you.
Excellent, TT!
I try to be understanding of those who are uneducated. But in this instance the safety of the country and perhaps the world is at stake. This is no time to coddle the stupid so we don’t hurt their feelings. We have to get out there and vote.
Now we have the stupid democrats voting for Socialism. SOCIALISM. We don’t have a socialist party in this country for a reason. Why are the stupid democrats so stupid? At least vote for a democrat. ANY DEMOCRAT.
Sigh. I need to meditate now.
The democrats have imploded their party and left us with nothing. No candidate or leader.
I am voting for Pete. I like him. But any one whose last name starts with a B is fine. Though I wish we could stop voting for elderly white men. Sigh.
The Democratic debates are circular firing squads.
If that party works together to find a solid moderate, they could regain the White House.
I’m not betting the farm on that happening. Sigh.
Tamara, I share your frustration with the large number of Democrats voting for a Socialist candidate. However, I remember as a college student being enamored of George McGovern, an extremely liberal and antiwar candidate who had zero chance of becoming our President. Bernie has been able to capture the youth vote as well as idealists who want to believe he can truly change the system. Bernie supporters do not want to listen to naysayers who try to tell them that socialistic policies will never pass Congress. It is a shame that some of the moderates with no shot at winning the nomination will not concede until it is too late to stop the Bernie train.
Some one needs to explain to the Bernie Bros that if AOC is successful with her current mission to get more socialist dems into Congress then the Medicare For All Plan will come into play and taxes will more than double. The children think that healthcare and college are going to be “free”. The was a good article in WaPo today that explains how the whole Everybody gets a Trophy type of parents brought us to this place today.
Hold up, hold up.
It’s not over yet. Far from it.
This lifelong Democrat will be goddamned before I vote for that 99 year-old, heart-attack-ridden piece of shit from Vermont, and I’m not alone. Not by a long shot.
So far we’ve had caucuses (working people don’t have time to hang out all day in some school gym) and open primaries. Every Republican in NH and SC made sure to show up to vote for him just to fuck with the process.
Once we get to some of the bigger states with closed primaries, where only actual, real Democrats may vote, things will look quite different.
From your mouth to God’s ears.
amen
Pssst…SC hasn’t had their primary yet.
I have you know I am very educated thank you. The President isn’t the danger, it’s people who doesn’t understand the freedoms we have now and our rights. We live in a free country. Free to speak our minds, free in that women have rights, and free to have our own opinions. Instead of sending tons of money to a country that wants to endanger our country he took care of it. Unemployment rates are down and he didn’t get impeached. So tell me, are you ready to live without the right to protect yourself and your family or not be able to feed them if the time came you had to hunt for your food. Do you want to be told what you can eat and when you can eat? Or be told sorry, you can have any medicine for you or your sick children and left to die.? Do you want to have all your rights taken away and be told what you can and cannot do. A place where us as women and our daughters will not have the right to an education and our sons or husband’s made to be in a militant situation? Our President may not be perfect, however it looks bad on us to degrade our Leader. Research how many foreign countries have severe laws against how people disrespect their leaders without any consequences. I’m not belittling anyone or throwing shade as you say. I respect your opinion just as I would hope you respect mine. Down grading people is what is wrong with people now days. So have a Blessed Day.
This .
Double this.
You say you’re “very educated”, yet every word you typed thereafter proves the opposite…and I’m not even referring to your atrocious grammar. I’m referring to your total ignorance of international relations, the state of the nation prior to the current Administration, and the impeachment process, just to name a few.
He may not have been removed from office, but he was most certainly impeached.
It is not fair to go into a Battle of Wit’s with someone who is not armed.
Again, check your grammar. It’s very hard to take anyone seriously when when they don’t understand the difference between plural and possessive. What kind of school did you attend to become so “very educated?”
TT, TRav is an ignorant, spoiled rich boy who got his money from his daddy, just as the Orange one did. Both are pathetic…
Yes, they have many similarities. MANY. That is why I felt the need to bring it up in the first place.
If he was impeached he wouldn’t be in office. You can’t be impeached and stay. By the way, did you know that he could actually have two more years because he was aquitted? Do you know that Pelosi can be charged and jailed for ripping up an official document?
I’m done.
With this ignorant comment I rest my case. The Trumpers don’t even know what impeachment means and how rarely it is done or apparently even that it WAS done. They think he is getting an extra two years for being aquitted by his sycophants that don’t even deserve to be called Republicans at this point? Stupidity is strong in this one.
Oh, dear.
All I can say in response to this is…
Bless your heart.
It boggles the mind. The problem is there are more uniformed idiots than educated people going to the polls. Or in the general public. It’s frighting that this president could be in office for this long and his loyal followers have no comprehension or even awareness of what is going on. It’s terrifying actually.
Oh dear god…I need antidepressants to get me through this year, sigh.
High school civics, please, Lynda Campbell, & lay off Fox. It fries brain cells, girlfriend.
Danger to our country. wow.
Wow indeed. Rarely a day goes by that he doesn’t do something to make us less safe. From firing the major players in our national intelligence agencies and replacing them with people with ZERO EXPERIENCE IN NATIONAL SECURITY, to failing to fund the CDC and lying about the dangers of the coronavirus in a failed attempt to stop the markets from crashing.
It never ceased to amaze me how uniformed Trump supporters are. Even if you are not someone who keeps an eye on world events, it is unbelievable to me how blissfully unaware Trump supporters are about the realities around us. And pointing out the clear and present danger of the madman currently in office, just makes them cover their ears. It is amazing to me how many people just go from work to home and apparently are clueless to what is happening in this country, let alone in the world. It’s scary.
Where’s the requisite literal whore sweating in literal church photo? Lol!
TRav had to learn the hard way that polo ponies have an IMMEDIATE way of dealing with unwanted sexual advances.
Giggle. He’s such an ass.
I’m dead!
I love that response. If bet money he was trying to mess with the poor pony. And it doesn’t even want him.
I assume that McDonald’s is the only restaurant he’s not banned from. Yet.
Don’t compare our President with him. People just have no respect for our President. Whether you like it or not Trump is our President. Quit making our country look bad to other countries. In some countries you would be arrested or executed for disrespecting the Head of the Country.
People all over the world and their leaders laugh at Trump. He’s an embarrassment. The only one making the U.S. look bad is him.
THANK YOU, SHARON!! I was trying to resist responding to the above comment but so glad that you did.
We all know who is making us look like fools all over the world.
And who is making herself look like a fool here. Thomas and his hero are both sexual predators who lie every time they open their mouths. I’m shocked Trump didn’t make Thomas the head of national security. I guess there is always next term. And there will be a next term because there are way more uneducated people in this country than smart ones. And apparently, they never watch the news.
Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it.
Adolf Hitler election
In the federal election of July 1932, the Nazis won 37.3% of the popular vote (13,745,000 votes), an upswing by 19 percent, becoming the largest party in the Reichstag, with 230 out of 608 seats. Dwarfed by Hitler’s electoral gains, the KPD turned away from legal means and increasingly towards violence.
Go Tamara! The similarities between all three men is obvious. Especially being narcissistic as hell!
You earn respect..trump is a petulant child who goes after everyone and everything that doesn’t worship HIM!!You obviously do. He said he’s done more for Christianity than Jesus himself…and you’re ok with that??He’s a sick, sick beong and of thats ok with you…well if the shoe fits…
No I’m not okay with that. I agree that he is better off not speaking sometimes. They should write his scripts for him at times and keep him off Twitter. Nobody is perfect. I worship only one man and that is God. But I will not disrespect him.
Did you respect our previous president? I guess your argument holds if you respected Obama too, as the leader of our nation especially considering he won the popular and electoral college two terms in a row.
Yes – we non-Democrats respected Mr. Obama and the office he held. We wish them well. Would never ever have posted some of the disrespectful things online that I have seen others do.
“…In some countries you would be arrested or executed for disrespecting the Head of the Country…”
Yes, that’s true…in totalitarian regimes like you find in, say, NORTH KOREA. Is that the type of country you’d like to live in? Any real American would find that prospect repugnant.
As much as he wants to be, Trump is not a king. He is merely the Executive of one of three CO-EQUAL branches of government – also something any true American would know.
The ability to question and criticize our leaders is a fundamentally American right that true Americans are actually proud of.
So how’s the weather over there, Comrade?
No I don’t want North Korean rules. I live in the USA. I don’t think anyone would want that, however, it could happen. Please do not call people names or assume they are uneducated. I have not called anyone names or basically say they are stupid. You are saying basically the same thing I’m saying. Noone wants totalitarianism, but it could happen one day, we may not live to see it. I respect your comment. I don’t appreciate the name calling.
Um, what name did I call you?
I didn’t.
Comrade. But that’s okay, I just don’t go crazy over being called something. I hope you have a Blessed Night.
OK, maybe you’re not a Russian.
Regardless, you’ve swallowed their disinformation hook, line, and sinker, so if the shoe fits…
Um, he did that all on his own. I once agreed with you. Until this frickin’ joker.
Sir Tweet 24/7 makes our country look bad all on his own.
Where is the “Like” button around here? ?
Everything is someone else’s fault. Orchestrating again at him. Patricia’s social media campaign? No Thomas. You’re the fucking devil and everyone’s hates you. Everyone. People talk about you because you’re the fucking devil and post shit like this.
A handful of low life’s defend you and what do you do in return? Call them stalkers after you invite them to Florida and ditch them.
How dare he call any woman a bitch or a whore. I thought he was a one off from the rest of his family but the Ravenels are obviously total white trash to have raised and allow that language. How do we get the Ravenel Bridge stripped of its name?
Bitch boy rapist
The bandage isn’t big enough for his mouth!
It is sad to me that people still don’t understand democratic socialism. Many programs here in the States are social programs from how you pay your government officials to the roads you drive on to the fact that you’re a card carrying socialist if you have a social security card. The democratic socialist embraced by the senator from Vermont who is running for president right now and embraced by many of us who wish for a more European lifestyle here in the U.S. is not outright socialism but is in fact mostly protections for what used to be the middle class. If you want things like universal heathcare and free tuition to college then you need to start supporting a democratic socialist. I consider myself a democratic socialist because I was raised by people who lived through the Great Depression. There is a reason why so many people in their 60’s and 70’s support the senator from Vermont: he is a modern day FDR. There is a very good reason why that senator from Vermont overwhelmingly won the 2016 votes of Democrats who live abroad: they live where democratic socialism thrives. They know the protections they receive under that kind of a government. They know it’s a better life for the middle class and the poorer amongst us. And the rich do not become poor under democratic socialism: mansions and royalty still exist in countries living under democratic socialist governments.
Thomas Ravenel is scum. Bravo (pun intended…) to the polo pony who gave him a swift kick! Well done, horsey!
LalaFly, there will not be healthcare for all or “free college” like they have in many other countries without a tax rate of 40% – 60%. That is how socialism works. All the working people are heavily taxes and all citizens and perhaps aliens are eligible for health care. If this is the philosophy that you advocate, and there is nothing wrong with that view, it just differs from mine, the by Bernie is your guy.
I don’t believe the children realize what they are voting for because Bernie refuses to admit that in order to pay for his plan taxes will have to more than double.
Do a bit of research (not saying this to be condescinging) on the tax rates in the countries with the best health care systems. Consider how many more citizens we have and how much more taxes will be raised.And again, if that is alright with you Bernie is your man. You are grown and you probably know this. But the children are going to freak out if this plan were to ever happen.
Personally, I don’t think it ever will because moderate democrats will not support it.
There is no such thing as a free lunch, or free healthcare or free college. If there were, don’t you think it would be unanimously supported?
Thank you. Well said
??????????????
Really? Who the eff do you think pays for all of this “socialism”? The government doesn’t have one penny. It’s all paid for via taxes which last time I checked, we pay for. Socialized medicine? Go talk to the French who have a 50% tax rate. Do you want to work 1/2 your life or more to pay for all of these “free” “socialized” programs? Free college education for all? Eff that. “All” don’t belong in college. Don’t even get me started. You want something? Get off your ass and work for it like every generation before us. Nothing in life is free anywhere in the world. Period. Unless you’re legitimately disabled, quit demanding a handout. People who have worked their entire lives are sick of funneling money via taxes or otherwise to those who choose not to work.
“…Unless you’re legitimately disabled, quit demanding a handout. People who have worked their entire lives are sick of funneling money via taxes or otherwise to those who choose not to work…”
Wow, what an incredibly ignorant statement. I see you’ve bought into the myth of Ronald Reagan’s “welfare queen”. I’m here to tell you that she doesn’t exist.
I’m also here to tell you that your “get off your ass and work for it” platitude assumes a level playing field for everybody, which ALSO doesn’t exist.
If you think there are scores of people who are able and qualified to work, yet choose not to because they’d just rather get “handouts”, I’m here to tell you you’re delusional.
And just what are you calling “handouts” anyway? Farm subsidies? Or do you save your scorn for those who receive food stamps (the majority of whom are WORKING PEOPLE, believe it or not)?
There will always be taxes. The question is who pays them and how much. Take a look back at when America had a strong Middle Class. You’ll see that the wealthy and corporations paid far more than they do now. THAT’S the change that people are advocating for.
That $9 BILLION that Facebook currently owes and is trying to dodge could pay for a lot of “handouts” for example.
Great comment!
As a matter of fact, I do know several people who choose not to work. The retreat from work for less-educated, prime-aged adults, especially men, is well documented. Wages are stagnant for those groups. And to correct your assertion, I have never assumed a level playing field.
Did I say farm subsidies or food stamps for the working poor? I have a problem with the way the government spends OUR hard earned money. I have a problem with food stamps being handed out and no drug testing required. I have to be drug tested to work, shouldn’t people on federal or state assistance (housing, food stamps, WIC, etc.) have to be drug tested? Our military personnel who receive food stamps are drug tested. Why aren’t others held to that standard?
There have always been and will always be classes in society and socialism is not the answer. Ask Venezuela and Cuba how that socialism is working for them. Delusional? I think not. Fed up, definitely. So quit with claiming to know I’m delusional and ignorant. BIG government, BIG government spending, and a 50% tax rate will hardly make a strong working middle class. The issues are much more complex.
Moo, those few states who have tried drug testing for benefits have discovered that it is so expensive & the results are so poor that it is not cost effective. The most effective solution, as I see it, is that we should redirect our anger away from the poor toward the super rich & corporations, who are actually more guilty of welfare & tax fraud, as well as just plain not paying their share. Yup, there are some poor folks not doing their part, but golly gee, get real & go after the big guys if you want cost effective results & big time justice.
Thank you, MizG
A-f’ing-men!
Ladies, ladies why all the venom! Sometimes the educated thing to do is agree to disagree! I have to say this though, most of our men and women who are on the front lines protecting us from places like North Korea qualify for food stamps. Think about that when you lay your head down each night!
You can”t agree to disagree with someone who says thinks like the orange one was not impeached. I mean, in order to have a credible opinion you have to know a few basic facts. You can’t play chess with someone who brings a checker set without that doesn’t even have all the pieces. #ImpeachedForLife
Modern day FDR?
Oh please. I rolling my eyes so hard, I might detach a retina.
This! I just can’t with these naive, uninformed “democratic socialism” beliefs. There is NO great white savior who’s going to lead us to the Promised Land.
I didn’t he was going to get two more years. I said he could, very different from he is getting two more years. I’m not saying anymore. I’m not arguing with anyone and I’m not going to be disrespectful to others and their opinions.
I didn’t say
I don’t agree with him all the time and I think he needs to be quiet at times. But I am loyal to our country.
Holy shit. Some of these comments are terrifying. I mean, I knew there were a lot of uninformed people in the world, and I understand the youth buying into empty promises, but this is insane! We are truly fucked.
Yep. I, for one, am voting blue no matter who. If Bernie gets in he won’t get any of the fringy stuff done anyway. The main goal should be to get this corrupt moron out of the White House before we lose our precious Democracy!! It’s scary people!
I can not describe in words how sleazy, dumb, gross etc…..TRAV and KD are!! All I can go is feel for those “poor” children…..
oh man, here I was all giddy that I “found” TT again after she got lost in my new spam server, and I am stepping into a political minefield. I know it is topical and controversial and peripherally related to T-Rav, but I really need to find a respite that is sans political debating….This is such a good site for clearing my mind of the worries of the day and the stress of what is going on in the “real, real world” (aka not reality tv). I hope everyone can just get along (ala Rodney King). If not, I can’t keep reading. I’ll come back post-election in that case, TT, if we are all still alive…. : ) Love you all
Amen! TT is the best at what she does here. But starting the political ball rolling is not what I come here for.
Ravenel is a flag waving Trump supporter. It’s hard not to point out their commonalities. It’s election season. I’m not going to pretend like nothing is happening. I’m not going to pretend that we have a President who thinks that it is a good idea to defund the CDC and the National Institues of Health ( where the scientist who do things like work to get vacinnes for things like the corona virus.). It is important not to ignore these sorts of things just because out president thinks the coronavirus is a hoax.
Recently in comments a Trump supporter did not know that Trump was impeached. I think the more I tippy toe around facts so as not to upset a certain political group, the greater disservice I am doing.
That said, the political discussions in comments here are limited. I will not allow bashing of anyone’s politics. I want to keep it light and primarily on the main purpose the site. That said, people are scared and our fearless leader seems to be making the situation first by doing things that don’t help, like starting a task force for the corona virus and putting a politician in charge instead of a medical expert. These things seem like common sense and not a political issue.
