[orleans]

(at 10:43 central time)



congrats!

[sinkingfeeling]

1. Aristus is in the Big Time. I think he's been retweeted 2 or 3 times and

now on TV!

[Spazito]

2. That post is definitely worthy of all the attention it is getting...

it is perfect. Congrats Aristus!

[Irish_Dem]

3. This is so neat.

I wonder if Aristus is thinking of doing a blog, podcast, etc.

Maybe he should consider it?

[Captain Zero]

41. Aristus' Friday night Chillaxin' in the DU lounge

Can be epic too.

[Irish_Dem]

42. Yes. Time for him to consider taking his show on the road.

He is getting a lot of national big name attention.

It should at least be considered.

[Aristus]

4. Mama mentioned ME on her show?

*swoon*



I can die happy now!

[nolabear]

5. Can I have your autograph?

[2naSalit]

6. Me also too?

[orleans]

7. i wasn't glued to the radio

so i didn't notice if she said your name or not (sorry--i was doing something and can't walk and chew gum at the same time) but then i heard her read your post.

either way--how fantastic.

[mzmolly]

8. :)

[dchill]

10. Just keep your feet on the ground, kid!

[calimary]

11. She's always had a sharp eye, a sharp mind, and good taste.

[jaxexpat]

13. Some people get all the luck. I can't even get mine to claim me.......

and I paid her......in advance.......in cash. Poor Stephanie has to suffer the reality of a GOP'er dad. At least I don't have that to bear.

[rubbersole]

33. But they weren't batshit crazy back then.

[nevergiveup]

14. You have now

moved above Lionel Messi and Barack Obama on my most admired person list. I will confess that my list is fluid but as for now you are #1.

[Aristus]

18. Oh my!

That's a lot to live up to...

[malaise]

29. That was a great OP

[Dave Bowman]

22. Congrats!

[soldierant]

46. Someone also picked it up and used it against "Wojak"

I had no idea who Wojak is, but this explains:
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/16/us/politics/npc-twitter-ban.html

That's a Twitter phenim, so that may explain some of those tweets.

[Scottie Mom]

9. Proud to be a DUer!!!!

Way to go, Aristus!!!!!!!!

[Aristus]

19. Thank you.

[Scottie Mom]

21. No...THANK YOU!!!! (Yeah, you're welcome, too!)

You made a name for yourself! Congrats to the max!

[MistakenLamb]

12. George Takei shared it too on X

Makes me wonder if the helmsman spends time on the forum, or his social media person

[True Blue American]

37. All of us minor posters

Just have to live with greatness among us.

But it feels so good! Shine on, Aristus.Enjoy your time in the spot light. Of course Trump will now hate you, but who cars, I don’t!



BTW, Spell check keeps changing your name to Aristotle!

[Aristus]

47. Funny.

I chose my username by changing ‘Aristocles’, Plato’s real name, to a Latinized ‘Aristus’.

So, one way or another, there’s a philosopher in the works.

[MrsCoffee]

38. 2.7M views.

Not bad. Not bad at all.

[usonian]

15. K&R

[NJCher]

16. It was funny the first time I read it

It was funny the second time I read it (Takei).

And I'm still laughing on the third time (Stephanie).

I guess we can say this line of reasoning "ages well."

[YavapaiBlue]

17. Nice!!

Nice!!!

[PortTack]

20. Kudos Aristus!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

23. Now if only some Fox host would scream it on air while foaming at the mouth

or maybe eMpTy Greene retweeting it while whining that Republicans keep surrendering to law enforcement. Or Jacketoff Gym Jordan reading it into the Congressional record as he announces an investigation into the use of the word "surrender" as a weapon of government.

We could replace some Confederate statues with statues of Aristus.

[Aristus]

24. That would bring the Basement Keyboard Commandos down on me like a poisoned cloud.

So far, so good. I want to keep it that way.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

25. You can come stay at my house if that happens

(Assuming you can tolerate dog hair).

We need full media saturation of "how many times"!

Likely the commandos would be too busy loudly deflecting and distracting to do anything else. "WE NEVER SURRENDER! LIBERAL LIES! Whatabout Hunter surrendering his laptop!"

[a kennedy]

26. We have a gawd on our forum!!!!! Yeeeeehaaaaaa

Ya made us proud Aristus!!!

[erronis]

28. Hope our adoration doesn't drive aristus away to higher pastures - MSM, book advances, etc.

I'm betting there are a few others here that have some well-deserved kudos from other publishing ventures.

Keep 'em coming, please.

[Aristus]

34. Are you kidding? Next month is my 22nd Anniversary with DU.

I’m never leaving. I can’t even imagine my life without you guys.

[ailsagirl]

36. Ditto for us!!

[True Blue American]

49. Now we know

Where MSNBC HOSTS are getting their material from!

[Boomerproud]

27. ARISTUS!

[orangecrush]

30. It was a perfect post

The very best.

[bdamomma]

31. congrats

to one of our own Du'ers.

[11 Bravo]

32. I heard that! Mama AND George Takei! You're blowing up, Aristus!

[Aristus]

35. Hey! Watch the terminology!

You don’t tell a tanker he’s blowing up. Any more than you tell an infantryman he’s slipping.

[11 Bravo]

45. Oops! I know better than that! Mea maxima culpa!

[Rabrrrrrr]

39. Wooty woot woot!!

So brilliant! I'm so sad I didn't think of it, but not surprised Aristus did!

[AKwannabe]

40. Dangit

Now the line over in the lounge is gonna be ever so long to get in to the Aristus “Ask me anything” show.

Please don’t go with Ticketmaster when you start having to sell tix, Aristus!

Congrats

[Aristus]

48. Ticketbastard?

Not on your life. Everyone is welcome at my Friday night drinking threads.

[burrowowl]

43. Kick

[llashram]

44. threatening Civil WarII

is all bluff. Do you think these fools want to disrupt their food stamps, SSI, jobs, television, couches, lives and families to be chumps for trump? Yeah, there may be a hardcore cadre out there willing to do this. Yet I just can't believe that these people will stay chumps for trump once the bullets start flying.
