More Republicans walking away:

Rep. Martha Roby is the second Republican woman to announce she'll retire at the end of this Congress...

Rep. Susan Brooks (R-Ind.), the recruitment chair for the National Republican Congressional Committee, said in June she would not seek reelection in 2020...

Two other Republican members of the House ― Reps. Paul Mitchell (Mich.) and Pete Olson (Texas) ― also announced their retirements this week...

Looks like another Elephant is going to #walkaway.

"Kansas GOP Sen. Pat Roberts won't seek re-election in 2020".



I just saw that Eagle is deleted, speaking of people walking away. When did that happen? All the dudes I used to love hanging crap with back in the day are gone except you

I think the Eagle began feeling as though some on TFS were going over the top in political and/or religious attacks.

Of course we're not supposed to "talk" about past members, but I don't mean anything bad about or towards Eagle.

I have always had only the most positive opinion of Eagle.

He might well be correct. We have lost some extreme right wing and/or extreme religious types. For me that is sad. I personally like the banter. But some of those people did in fact cross the proverbial line. Of course there are also people who are extremely left and/or extremely anti-religion here. I hope Eagle did not view me as one of the worst that drove him away, but maybe I have been.

Such is life... on the internet.

TFS has lost its luster for some.

I have wondered at TFS's survival... metaphorically speaking TFS is the last of a species of large mammal... when "we" fall into extinction, as is inevitable, we will be missed by few if any.

Yeah this place did change. I no doubt played a part in that as I stopped engaging in the banter after Dave left. I was warned not to get involved in debating a certain person here and in hindsight the one that warned me was right. It sucked up a lot of my time and gave me forum fatigue, then when I came back almost everyone had left...

I thought these types of forums might have got a boost when FarceBook and other places increased their censorious ways, but it seems not to have happened at all. Shame.

Still, I have to admit were it not for the fact that I was laid up for a few months after a serious health issue, I would ever have joined a forum. It was something I did purely as a means of distracting myself from the hours I would normally have spent body building or playing sport.

TFS was incredibly important to me then, because as someone who had always been physically active, suddenly I was unable to do more than walk for a few minutes a day. A new guitar, lots of bourbon and TFS helped keep me sane.

Haha no worries. I meant it was a bummer that Eagle left. We certainly had our share of fun times, with Dave as well. I suppose all that silly banter left a while back though with Dave. Last he was on that I can recall was right after Trump won to rub it all in our faces.

A fifth Republican congressman appears set to quit the party in the space of two weeks amid ongoing tension over Donald Trump’s presidency.

Representative Mike Conaway will not seek re-election to his Texas seat in 2020, the Politico website reported. He has not confirmed his decision or reason for retiring but he is set to make a statement to the media.

I hope none of that was a subtle jab against my blue dress… If it was, I'm going to dash off into a corner of a dark room or perhaps a closet and cry myself silly…

Rest assured Chaski, never shall I jab, subtly or otherwise, your blue dress, or anything contained therein...

Yep, I knew what you meant It is sad...

When I joined Dave and Ko were in full swing... those two were hilarious.

Bozie, Someone Else, GSnap, Tariki, Eagle, you and quite a few others... This place was rocking... I still get a laugh out of some old threads here sometimes...
