Help with clarity, please
 
To the esteemed members of this Political Debating Society.

Let me ask for for your assistance, please, in welcoming new debaters. Many may not feel welcome because you all seem to understand things the rest of us don't. Acronyms!

If you don't use unrecognizable acronyms, I would hope that more people would ultimately jump in and post their thoughts. Those acronyms have a clubby sound, but even worse, we don't know what you mean.

FBI? We know that.
CIA? No problem.
GOP? Got it.
MSM? We outsiders have no idea.

Please take the extra five seconds to spell them out at least once in a post.

Have pity on we political neophytes. Now I'm getting out of the political forum.

Tony, thank you, thank you, thank you:bowdown:

It took me a few days to figure out what POTUS was?? :ohdear:

I am such a dummy. Those acronyms used to drive me crazy in corporate America, I never could remember what they were. I'm always so lost!! Please guys you are so smart and I want to learn, try to 'splain things for me. Thanks, K.

I finally figured out POTUS. But it took a long time. So Kathie, please do not feel like the Lone Ranger. I bet there is a little dictionary of political acronyms out there somewhere.

I had to laugh when I awoke in the middle of the night and yelled, "EUREKA! IT MEANS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!"

I can sure operate in a fog sometimes. Or in a hurry.

I thought SCOTUS had something to with what made the cranky old men who dominate this thread cranky.

Runnin' for my life outta of this thread dodging tomatoes.
