I think WTF is honest here. As I recall he/she did go back and forth for a short time there before the election, but did eventually settle on pulling the lever for Our Orange Overlord.  ^-^

Ty aligncare. Shame that dcpatriot is such a miserable hunan being that he has to attack me even when I might agree with him.

This may seem like an odd moment for saying so, but a year into the presidency of Donald Trump, I’m elated.

Trump was not my first or even second choice for president, but a full two years ago I predicted he would win. I also predicted he’d be a progressive president, which explained why I was not among his supporters and why I am so pleased now.

Expecting Progressive Trump was a reasonable assumption. Trump supported the 2009 stimulus, the auto bailouts and the bank bailouts. He’d recently left the Democratic Party and had raised a ton of money for the Clintons, Nancy Pelosi and Charles E. Schumer. He’d supported single-payer health coverage, tax increases and even Planned Parenthood.

She gets it. Good! If more people in her position start to understand what is going on,Trump will have a lock on a second term despite the RNC trying to stab him in the back.

@DCPatriot Do you have a point about the article or are you just trying to start an argument again by insulting someone?

What has always been considered 'normal' conversation...ie, challenging somebody else's post....now has to be called out??

"You're so 'pure'.  Just like Ivory Soap, in that 99.4% of your posts mentioning/about Donald/President Trump are of the 'pure' NT variety.

The rest is nothing but a fantasy between your ears."

You call that "normal" challenging someone's post? Perhaps that is the place to start... Absolutely nothing to do with the thread. You mock, name call and call him empty headed all on one go - without a single word about the actual article or the position stated... Your response is 100% personal attack and nothing more. The irony is too much...

Came to the thread....read the exerpt...started to read the comments and THAT...above jumped off the page.

If I had been drinking coffee, I'd have spit it up.   

Anybody who's been around here since July 2015 and December 2016 can tell just what he thinks of 'Candidate' Trump AND 'President-elect' Trump.   He attacked him relentlessly.

And 2017?   Not much different.

It was IMPOSSIBLE for me to pass that post without commenting as I did.

Well I only said he/she voted right; but beyond that I can’t vouch for his loyalty. So, WTF are you a loyal supporter? Did you take the loyalty oath AND renew it monthly, as required by Master? Hmm? Have you?

Not looking for anybody to give a "loyalty oath".

I'm just not going to let somebody like that take a crap on the floor without sticking his nose in it.

After you had left for awhile, we got into each other's faces many times during the time leading up to the Election.

He has no credibility with me.

Only in your bleep up little world is someone saying they feel camaraderie with someone that is being attacked and lied about "taking a crap on the floor".  You've made it abundantly clear that you have no use for any of us that might have something positive to say about Trump now if we didn't support him from the beginning.  We heard you, okay? We know your opinion of those types of people.  It's time to get over it and move on.  Everyone here is tired of the bullshit.

Quote from: DC Patriot May 24, 2017, 01:14:31 PM
The difference sir, is that I embrace the hatred I have for the likes of you and your ilk here on the forum.

I don't deny it.

You, OTOH, get your panties all twisted, because your "hatred" of Pres. Trump...AND his supporters...has been on full display here for all to see.

Trump's rabid fanbase is why Trump will get not a single hint of praise, or defense from the likes of me, even if I do agree with anything he says or does. 

As you noted, they have made it verboten to agree with Trump publicly unless we were rabid supporters from the beginning OR - we make groveling public confessions of our sinful error for not recognizing and acknowledging Trump's messianic and divine power and not having vociferously supported and voted for him BOTH in the primaries and the General.

Since I refuse to make such penance to the approval of Trump's fanatics, I refrain from making any kind of positive remarks about their leader.  I will only make sure I post the negative ones, since any agreement from us is unwanted and despised.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

I, for one, have decided to simply embrace the suck (well, maybe just for today).

Anyway, for every action Trump takes that defy his critics, their criticisms lose credibility and the numbers of NeverTrumpers decline (Rule of Acquisition #123).
