I wasn’t a Trump supporter. I am now.

Slow day, eh Frank?

I say you deserve all the dessert you want if you're eating those nasty ass fish cakes. ;)

[INVAR]

Fascinating to see such an effect on you.

You people should be thrilled.  I'm placating to your demands on this one and only thing, because you have worked so hard to insist upon it and so rightfully earned it for you and your leader.

You've done wonders to isolate your MAGA Prince from earning any future support from those of us who did not support Trump in the election and were simply going to applaud when he did something well, and excoriate him when he acts contrary to our principles.   You people made it clear that is not good enough.

Well okay.... and Congrats.  You should be proud of your achievement; sparing the Donald from having any fair-weather doubting Thomas support.  Only TRUE BELIEVERS for Trump!

Is "keep telling yourself" the only 3 words in your vocabulary?

@catfish1957

Well,I did have to dumb it down to the Party Pod Person level,

Had em again just the other day.... only made from Perch (kinda like Sunfish/crappie... Do y'all have perch down that way?)- I had cooked up a mess of them, but got caught on the phone...  So I redid em up into fishcakes and they were great!  Still not as good as with the smoked trout tho.

And you can cuss my fish cakes all you want... I am still of a mind that just about anything can be put in a corn batter and throwed in a cast iron pan... jussayin.

I grew up salt water fishing, so I know more about those type than fresh water.  I know we have what we call a silver perch, but I doubt it's the same thing y'all have.

Nope. Yellow Perch

Backwater and pond/swamp fish... Bass, sunfish, bluegill environment... kinda little. Most pan-sized though they get upward of a couple pounds around here. Usually a mess of them to make a meal. Good eating for a white-meat fish.

That's funny, I went to the WaPo site just to check, and no paywall for me.

I'm going to -guess- that their site is set up this way:
1. You visit the site for the first time -- no paywall
2. BUT... the WaPo website "puts a cookie" in your browser with "a timer" on it
3. You visit their site a few more times, still no paywall, BUT...
4. ...after a certain number of visits, the timer built into the cookie is reached.
5. From this point on, you aren't permitted to see any more articles (or perhaps just certain articles) unless you pay.

How to get around this?
(following method works for other sites as well)

Do this:
Install a "cookie manager" for your browser that deletes unwanted cookies at periodic intervals (such as when you quit your browser).

On the Mac I use either "Safari Cookies" or "Cookie" (depending on the OS version installed).

With either of these, I can "whitelist" cookies that I want to be kept -- and all others will be deleted.

Set up this way, news web sites will ALWAYS "see you" as visiting for the very first time, and will let you read articles without paying or subscribing.

[corbe]

   You are absolutely correct about the cookies @Fishrrman many sites do that.  I am on a Win10/Edge box tonight (not my usual setup) though, I have found If you do a simple search on the actual title you'll get similar results without the paywall of WP/NYT and similar $hit sites with rare good content.

Another way to do it is use a different browser than your normal browser just for those sites and delete all the cookies on it from time to time reseting your visit count.

ROFL!  "...because you worked so hard to insist on it"?   "..rightfully earned it"?

Because I posted once or twice over the course of 2 plus years that enough "blue dogs" from the union States...registered DEMS, would cross over and nullify withholding your own vote?   And that we wouldn't need your GD support!

Guess what?   I stand by it.

You've done wonders to isolate your MAGA Prince from earning any future support from those of us who did not support Trump in the election and were simply going to applaud when he did something well, and excoriate him when he acts contrary to our principles.   You people made it clear that is not good enough.

I'm convinced that you're here simply for comedic effect.

Good stuff, @INVAR !!   

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

You're a nasty, disgusting human being DCPatriot. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Hold on there. As I recall, a lot of nasty stuff was being thrown around during the primaries and beyond on both sides, and some of that nastiness continues to this day.

DCP is a friend, not just to me, but to this place, he doesn’t deserve that insult. And as I recall, you’ve said some intemperate things yourself back then about others members. If I’m wrong about that feel free to correct me.

[catfish1957]

I like DCP, we can talk baseball infinium.

You on the other hand........

[Right_in_Virginia]

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. 

Just let this sink in. 

[aligncare]

I mostly try to add to these discussions by giving my full throated support to President Trump, support that I come by honestly. If I can avoid it, I usually don’t single out individual members here for criticism. I save my open fire for generic NeverTrumpers in the abstract.

If however someone here that self identifies as NeverTrump is insulted by my support of the president, that’s not on me. I will continue to give the president my unqualified support for as long as he continues to push a conservative pro life agenda.

DCP is not a friend to TBR.

DCP is not a friend to TBR.

I'm sure he meant it in a god way when he called new members "cockroaches".

[DCPatriot]

DCP is not a friend to TBR.

The hell I'm not.   I've got nothing BUT the best interests of the forum at heart.

Pay attention.   Virtually every member that was banned...and I don't mean 'suspended'...I predicted it would happen to their face. 

Coincidence?   No likely.  Having spent over a decade with people, you get to know where their bar is set.

Now all of a sudden I'm "..not a friend to TBR"?   Why?  Because I point out your shit stinks?

DCP isn't a bad guy but he IS a REALLY sore winner.

[DCPatriot]

This post/poster provides purrfect context to my "cockroach" comment.   

Your shtick is to be the 3rd man in, @RoosGirl !   

[DCPatriot]

Thanks, Earl.    Hope you've taken me off "ignore" again.       

[DCPatriot]

I don't recall every saying you should be banned.  Why not have your buddy look it up for us?

All I recall saying is that you and "wingnut" were solely responsible for TBR taking on an R rating.   

I have a grudging respect for you, Frank.  Perhaps, it's because your style may mirror Pres. Trump's?
