I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring

Obvious the shutdown is all crooked Hillary's fault. (NOT)
Fox News commentator: "Who's going to take the blame Donald? Boardroom here—who's getting fired? Who is bearing the brunt of the responsibility, if indeed there is a shutdown of our government?"
Donald Trump: "Well, if you say who gets fired it always has to be the top. I mean, problems start from the top and they have to get solved from the top and the President is the leader and he's got to get everybody in a room and he's gotta lead... You know the interesting thing is in, uhh, 25 years, in 50 years, in a 100 years from now, when the government, you know, they talk about the government shutdown, they're gonna be talking about the President of the United States. Who was the President at that time? They're not gonna be talking about who the head of the House was, the head of the Senate, who's running things in Washington... So, I really think the pressure is on the President."
