I'm not here to support Trump. I'm here (today) to bring awareness to how Trump voters, like me, not necessarily a "supporter", are being treated on this forum.


How are they being treated? Some of them are mods, one of them is co-owner of the forum and they are the ones who delete posts they don't agree with. I generally avoid threads posted by Trump supporters.

But there is a difference between Trump supporters and Clinton supporters.  Otherwise they'd all be supporting and voting for Clinton.  I suspect the Trump supporters on this forum are mostly silent...for the same reason the anti Trump posters left FR.

No, the Trump supporters are extremely vocal and active on this forum.  Where on earth did you get the idea that they weren't?

Trump will probably fund a PAC that will operate for 25 years funding Ted's opponents.
My bet is that tRump really doesn't have the money. With nothing to hide, one in such a great position would unashamedly make public his tax returns. The money ain't there, this whole damn thing is a bigger sham than even we suspect.

There are anti-trump posters on FR? Not for long. Once and done.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Trump supporters have their own section on this forum, so they have a "room" to gather and praise Trump.  Go to the main page of this forum and you will find the Trump section.  This place is nothing like FR and non-Trumpers have free speech here to describe how Trump will damage this country, much worse than Clinton.

One of the owners of this site is pro Trump. They have been mostly silent lately because even they...in their blind support for Orange Jesus cant find any way to defend or spin the mind numbingly stupid things hes been saying and doing lately.

The Castro brother that was being vetted for VP was Julian...former mayor of San Antonio and current HUD Secretary. 

IMHO he didn't make the cut because of the fact hes the driving force behind bringing Section 8 hoisimg to a quiet gated communication you.

When a mostly Liberal county in New York is fighting in court to stop a Liberal policy you know its bad. 

Thats why HRC didnt pick him.

Actually I think they archived that and are now just roaming the forum unhindered. Free Range Trumptons.

Oh suck it up buttercup. 

I'm glad y'all are here. I don't want you run off.  I don't want you silenced.  In fact, I WANT to hear why you think the things you do.  Unfortunately, for most of your ilk, that ain't good enough.  We must bow down before orange glorious or else we're unAmerican, Hillary supporters of any number of other ridiculous things y'all call us.

And then when we push back and refuse to let you run us off this site like TOS, you post poor little victim crap like you did here.   As I said, suck it up buttercup....we're not gonna convince you and you sure as hell are not gonna convince us, so why don't you just find a way to accept that and let bygones be bygones.

That is called equity-rich and cash-poor.

Won't help him during this upcoming election to fund it.

Actually, since the properties are all highly-leveraged, there isn't even much equity in them.

Trump sycophants are liberal enough to vote for the commie too

That's an off year election.  The average  Trump fan won't have a reality star to get behind and they'll be back to doing what they do.  Yes when it comes to the core Trump fan, he has a "type".  They are ignorant as all get out on politics.

I wonder if some of you anti-Trumpers realize how much you sound like the pro-Trumpers on FR? Just some food for thought.

I'm pro Cruz all the way. I voted for him for TX senate, voted for him in the primaries and will vote for him again for whatever office given the chance.

I will also very likely vote for Trump.  I haven't forgotten who the Clintons are.  Obama has already done the heavy lifting for Hillary.   Putting the final nail into our once constitutional republic coffin will be a cakewalk for her. Don't kid yourselves into thinking any differently.  No matter how bad you think Trump is, he's not as bad as Hillary and he's going to have lots of resistance by both parties to get anything done.  Not so for Hillary. She will have the red carpet and magic pen.  I'll take my chances with Trump.

I don't care if you vote or not, just please don't become that which chased you off from FR. It's kinda sad and painful to watch. I happen to have the utmost respect for mystery-ak and R4whoeverthisweek.  I am 100+% sure they didn't set this place up to be an anti anything or who site except for the Dems.

Do you realize that Ms Anti's rant has been factually refuted by a significant number of members up thread, and her attack has been proven false?

Her "food for thought" ended up being tripe.

Saying "Amen!" to a false statement is probably not a good idea, Blizzard.....

But, of course, since TBR isn't even remotely like TOS, you will always have the right to agree with false statements without fear of being zotted.

At any rate, welcome to a very, very, very different place than AntiFem accused us of being.  :patriot:
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

I'm certain there are generalizations being made because of the way FR has become so crazy, but if a distinction is not made, how do posters here know you aren't talking about them ahen you call them hateful and crazy? ( not you specifically)

I just think there needs to be some caution about not becoming that which you can't stand and fled from FR.

Your tone is appreciated but you should also acknowledge that there are some and I said some Trump supporters here that are nothing less than Trolls who mostly live over on TOS who get their jollies by posting some BS thread and then sit back and watch the fun...admitting what they do on FR inviting others to join them.  Even though the founders here on TBR try their best to make this an open forum for Trump supporters and nevertrumps alike, over on FR we are "that anti-Trump forum" because we still have freedom of discussion here and therefore the enemy. So if you want to scold us for our  replies to these FR/TBR hybrids, then you should also ask them to help, and not hurt the cause of convincing us that Trump is not the boogieman, because they are doing the exact opposite.

Good point.  Then all he has is excessive exposure unless he can recoup his liabilities.  Otherwise, he is in fact destitute.

This place needs a like or thanks button. Some argue those may stifle engagement, but for people like me who don't have a lot of time to surf, they're a quick way to acknowledge posts and responses.

I wish VB would fix that.
