The ones with the tank in the base are usually pretty nice, so long as they stay upright. The nicest one was on a Grace Drilling rig in ND. Thirty five below out, but the steel outhouse had six inch styrofoam insulation in the walls and formica over that, and an electric heater. Ahhhhh.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

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.

He does love to try.  You've seen his bullying on the "FR refugee" thread... and how often he tried in the primaries.

I wouldn't tolerate that sort of behavior.

Fascist is only Nazi?

Who was name called?  Generics aren't name-calling.  You know that, as it's been discussed ad-nausem here for the last <insert number of months here>.

This looks like a deceptive self-justification to call for a purge.

It's happened before, so there are past examples to compare to.

To the pro-Trumps: stop accusing those who don't support Trump of supporting Clinton.
To the anti-Trumps: stop it with the Nazi references.
Right now. There will be no more warnings. Both sides are in the wrong. Both sides will face consequences.

Fascism is an economic system, controlled by the government. It is not exclusive to a German political party.

"Trumpies". Gee, that's cute compared to a lot of what I have heard. Or is this one of those trick things where there is no correct answer? I have been in those situations, and they don't usually end pleasantly.

And I'm going to do whatever I can (short of voting for Hillary) to stop that from happening.

It's no longer a "GOP site" because one of the owners isn't fond of Donald Trump.  The site used to be called The GOPBRIEFING ROOM

Nobody here ever had a discussion/thread or notice given them that were were now a "conservative" site and no longer associated or affiliated with the Republican Party.

The suggestion it is not a GOP-related site appeared one evening in a thread where a #nevertrump pack was getting their a$$ handed to them.

It's bogus.   It's sour grapes.

And it's so wrong.



This is all soooooooooo wrong.

TBR has never been associated with the GOP....has always been a conservative site...when you google conservative sites we appear..it has been in our statement since the beginning.

We only used GOP in the title because The Briefing Room was already in use..we changed the title of TBR years ago when we had a new banner made

No I am not fond of Trump..but have said repeatedly I will vote the nominee...I have tried to be fair, in fact I go out of my way to be fair and let slide a lot of things that shouldn't.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

I broke my own promise to myself of ever responding to you again.

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 agree with you in part.

Trump won the nomination.  Attempts to screw with the convention rules so as to unbind delegates and give the nomination to someone else deserve to be defeated.  He won, at the ballot box, under the rules that were in place.  That should be the end of the story with respect to who is the nominee.

But respecting the fact that he won the nomination entitles him to the nomination only.  It does not obligate people who don't like him to support him, or even to refrain from opposing him.  If he wants their support, it is his responsibility to win them over.

I can't stand the guy, though I've decided to vote for him in the general.  I just don't think winning the nomination carries with it a "shut up everyone who doesn't like me" card.

It sure as hell isn't exclusive to a German political party! In fact there is a very good argument to be made that the good ole USA is practicing it at this very moment!

My opinion on the "I won" Trump argument can be summed up in about a million "celebration fail" animated GIFs.  He celebrates, the country fails.

Would you kindly point out the national party rule that binds delegates to any candidate? I can't seem to find it!
