Oh shove it already.  He explained why:

Guest voting was turned off so MEMBERS only can vote, and so you cannot just clear your cache and vote as many times as one person wants.

Wasting your breath. He's an AT - they believe in a constitutionally protected right to brigade online polls to support the Orange One.

I demand a special TBR council to investigate these so call outsider poll influencers being in cahoots with members who support our President!.

Trump is part of the so-called "deep state" - being a dirty NYC real estate developer will do that   

You NeverTrumpers are beyond hope. You are so blinded by your hatred of Trump that you are incapable of reason or logic.

Please don't let anybody run you off the political threads.

@Victoria33

Can there possibly be anything more frightening than Ken Starr as Special Prosecutor and "independent" counsel....

The problem with using the word "hate" (or love, for that matter) in the context of any political inquiry is that it assumes a binary set of opinions.

The vast majority of members here appear to neither love nor hate Donald Trump. Instead, they tend to either support and defend him on one hand, or oppose and question him on the other, and they do so on the basis of individual issues and events. What ought to be avoided is uncritical and reflexive thinking, and also, ad hominem attacks on those who express opposing views.

Is that really too much to ask?
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Let me be the first to say ..... COVER-UP!!!!

The Special Prosecutor has a vested comedic interest in the identity of the Dem plant remaining unknown.

I don't want to come off as if I have a right to preach, because I know I don't, but I wonder what the result would be if we could be just a little less hotheaded and avoid "shove it" and similar responses.  I'm not calling out anyone specifically, because it isn't only one person that causes so many threads to be locked.

It wouldn't mean caving to someone's POV.  Hell, do it for Memorial Day, or because you respect the job Myst is trying to do, or because you don't want your dog to read your angry posts, or whatever.

/snicker

If you knew anything about NYC real estate you'd realize the truth.  But you don't, and you won't inform yourself because God forbid you should challenge your belief in the Great Orange God.

Trump isn't the end of the world by any means.  Go back in history for any length of time and he starts to look outright competent.  But he isn't a great leader, either.  A demagogue?  Yes, he's good at that, but demagoguery is not leadership.

Trump is just one more not-so-great garden variety politician this country will have to tolerate, just as it has with so many others.

I'll take what I can get - Justice Gorsuch, for example - but I'm not going to absolve Trump of all the stupidities, nor of all the future problems he's creating, simply because of Justice Gorsuch.  George W. Bush and his overreaching led directly to Obama.  I am quite worried about what Trump and his idiocies will lead to.

Are you implying I might be somewhat less than objective in my new position to root out the wrong-doers and board subversives and that dreaded Dem plant?

   Appointing @Wingnut Special Prosecutor is akin to appointing Dick Cheney to head your VP Selection Committee, it's a foregone conclusion and besides he's too conspiratorial to judge this objectively.
