The Official TBR Mea Culpa thread
« on: November 10, 2016, 08:49:52 pm »
Use this thread to utter your mea culpas:


I was wrong to say, repeatedly, that Trump couldn't win. I'm happy he won, and I did end up voting for him. but I had never believed he would win.


I also had bet (sans money) A-lert that he would be sorry on Wednesday morning. And up until around 9:30PM Tuesday night, I was certain I would be right. He's since been banned but if he's reading this, I was wrong.


And I guess I was wrong about limbaugh too and will have to start listening again. I thought he was sinking the whole show.

If I was 100% certain he would lose I wouldn't have 'violated my principles' by voting for him.

More like I was 98% certain he would lose. But a 2% chance Hillary could be kept from the white house was enough.

Before that, I was suspicious about his seriousness about winning - all of those times he sabotaged himself.

So, Mea Culpa.

I am not going to post any mea culpa.  I said Trump couldn't win before the NYPD's Weinergate investigation, before Julian Assange's eleventh hour Wikileaks revelations, and before the publicity of the FBI re-opening the whole e-mail mess.  When I saw this triad of Deus Ex Machina, I did publicly say that I thought Trump had a good chance of winning after all.

In a manner of speaking, Assange is the guy who really won the election for Trump.  I think Assange deserves the Congressional Medal of Freedom.  I still think Trump stinks.

I also owe a huge apology to Rush and Hannity as well I guess.


They were right and I was wrong.

Mea culpa means "my fault." I was 100% wrong about Trump's ability to win, but nothing will ever be my fault in this election because I voted Castle.

Furthermore, having been so wrong about how badly he will lose, I am now adopting a "let's see" attitude towards how he will govern. I have serious doubts, but I'll try not to be as overbearing with them as I was  pre-election.

But I'm watching... Always watching...

But mea culpa is a poor title for this thread.

How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

I guess I vacillated back-and-forth between he could win to he can't win

 I didn't cast a ballot for him but I shed no tears over Hillary Clinton's loss. A nice payback to her for all the people she has hurt and damaged over her career to lose to a guy that even 60 some percent question his fitness for office

From my point of view, conservatives DIDN'T elect Trump. Using one square of tp to wipe with doesn't necessarily make you a conservative. It may only prove up the fact you are half-assed.

Wiener. aka Carlos Danger.  IMO he was the reason Trump won. Comey had to  reopen the investigation based on that perverts laptop.  A laptop filled with Hillary emails, dick pics and sexts to under aged girls.

I hit mine many times!  For no reason might have been in there somewhere!

I farted in church And blamed it on my brother.  Then he hit me. Then my dad hit my brother for hitting me.  Then the smell started wafting over the pew and we all turned and looked at the family behind us and moved away....

Ok to get back on topic. I admit I stared at the lint in my bellybutton instead of voting for Trump...

I was wrong in my prediction that Trump would lose bigly (although right in my House and Senate predictions).

I still view Trump with suspicion, and I still think that he is not a good person. That said, I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt. I am hopeful that if he can make some good appointments in the next few months, than his administration could do a whole lotta good for the country. The appointment of Ebell to lead the EPA transition is exactly the sort of thing I would hope to see (honestly, in my wildest dreams I hadn't though that could happen).
