OPEN LIVE CONVENTION THREAD - WEDNESDAY, JULY 20

[TomSea]

At least it's entertaining.

This is a discussion forum, if you can't contribute to it but act self-righteous with round-about personal attacks, I would not be so critical of others.

[bolobaby]

But to start to accuse others, supporters or team players,  of all kinds of things per civil discourse, that is a different kettle of fish.  And accusing is really pretty mild as far as stating tactics used.

You mean like accusing people of being "anti-democracy" if they don't surrender their principles and support comrade Trump?

Yeah. Like that.

Yes it is a discussion forum, and I am discussing. What are you doing?

Preach it brother, they should see an example of their typical work on others!

No better way to learn than by example, you got that darn tootin' right if people can't conduct themselves well enough in the first place.

Exactly like that!

I recalled one calling someone's post as being melodramatic or something and telling me to get a grip! That's what I saw!

Enjoy your fart cartoons buddy, sorry you disagree with me.

My comment here has nothing to do with the actual convention, but I want to tell you about this happening:
A member of this family is a pilot for a major airline (which I won't say the name).  Pilots have to go through the TSA "inspection" line just as everyone else.  Pilots are moved to the head of the line so they can get to the flight line (airplane) as quickly as possible.

In this USA major airport, he was not moved forward, was at the back of the line.  The inspector person was a black woman.  When he was his turn, he told the person that pilots are moved to the front to get to their plane.  This person said they treat everyone the same.  He asked to speak to her manager.

The woman MANAGER came and she was dressed in a FULL BURKA, only her eyes could be seen.  This Burka wearing woman is in charge of airport inspections. 

This pilot is a conservative Christian person, knows a plane inside and out, could fix, and has, anything wrong with a plane.  He wanted to be a pilot when he was six years old and stayed with that until he is now almost in his 50s.  You would want him flying your plane.  He had a real problem with a Burka wearing woman in charge of inspections.

DO YOU SEE A PROBLEM WITH THIS?  I was astounded the TSA is hiring Muslims for work in our airports.  I think this employment of Muslims in airports leads directly back to Obama.  The TSA rules are written by Obama's chosen people under his guidelines.

I will add to this, several weeks ago, we went through a Walgreens drive through to pick up medicine for me.  The person in the window handling my medicine was a woman in a Hijab, her head completely covered.  I have a problem with Muslims working in a pharmacy, determining which medicine they put in your prescriptions.

If a person is dressed in Muslim clothing, that indicates to me they are members of a Mosque and adhere to Sharia law.  I prefer to have my medicine filled by non Muslims and do not want Sharia law Muslims working in airports so close to our airplanes.  Call me prejudiced against Muslims if you want, but I don't care, it is Sharia law Muslims killing us.

Anyone that wrapped up in politics needs to get a grip IMO. We are all "little people" and can only do so much. Sure, vote, advocate, etc. There's an entire non-political world out there with so much to offer.

Yep someone cut the cheese toward the end of that last one....

'Twas a veritable Dutch Oven.

Is there any relevance to the Convention in your posting here, Tom?  Or in politics, or any other germane topic?

Just curious, because if you're here to disrupt only, perhaps you should reconsider.....

I actually HAVE a grip, Weird.  So you can stop worrying about me....... KAY???

"When Ted Cruz takes the stage here on Wednesday evening, what he doesn’t say will be as important as what he does: Though he accepted a primetime speaking spot at the convention that officially nominated Donald Trump on Tuesday, Cruz will not endorse the Republican nominee, according to two sources familiar with his plans."

I look forward to Ted's stirring speech touching on traditional small government conservative values with a nod to constitutional originalism...

... then stating that the Republican Party has bailed out on all of that...

"BAM!"

And you can do FAR less now than before the rules package that got rammed through at the convention Monday night!

Hrm, well. I out you and you say, "Just mimicking y'all."

I bet my experience today will be a lot more pleasant with you on ignore since you only seem intent on rabble-rousing.

This is a DISCUSSION forum. In spite of anyone's elevated sense of importance we do not influence a damn thing here. We vent discuss argue, at times educate.

I wish certain self important thin skinned types would get that through their melons.

Precisely.  I'll repeat myself from up-thread aways.

In reality if one side or the other here managed to convince their opposition to join them, the 1500 or so votes won't make a hill of beans of difference in the election.  Getting worked up over a few people that you cannot convince to join your side is frankly childish.

Added:  HEY!!! I think you just told us all to get a life?! 

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

I also participate on Twitter, follow both pro-Trump and anti/Never-Trump people and it's actually worse there. So maybe I'm influenced by that in addition.

But I'm just sick and tired of melodrama.

Except that Weird addressed that to ME, and it had no relevance to the reality of my life.  I have vented sadly about the loss of my party.  That's it.  My life is wonderful, and his chastisement of me was just plain silly.

[Wingnut]

I'm in.

Cool.  Hey did you see after Cruz speaks Melania is going to preform he new single.  "Like A Virgin"

Donald's a virgin
Untouched like rare vintage wine
He's a virgin
Heard him beat his (f)eat
All the time!

He would surely not confess
He would never tell the truth
With girl's- he's a lost cause
No girls he's screwed

His tales were neat, but repeats
Of the sack: he was one sad dude
He would never reveal
That his girlfriends weren't real
But his porn mags were brand new!

Oooh, oooh, oooh... baby!
[That was me in the other room]

Nothing I said was melodramatic.  Get a grip, Weird.

Anti-Trumpsters, whatever they are, once again, resort to personal attack, you told me you are putting someone on ignore. Likewise, I can say that about you.

Anti-Trumpsters or whatever can't debate an issue in honesty.

So be it, personal attack again!

Sorry I did not notice the context, only the basic message.

My comment is directed a certain other posters who seem hysterical that there exists alternative points of view, and say things like 'you're helping Hillary win', etc.

[Victoria33]

You may as well get ready.  After the Convention, the Trumpsters are going to be all over the forum insisting that we support Trump or leave.  "Can't have a divided forum. Looks bad."  I think Myst wants everybody to stick around, but it's going to be a real challenge to manage a forum that's as divided as the party.

Well, the part owner who yelled at us using vile language this morning, said we had been thrown off FR.  I wasn't thrown off, still have an account there just as numerous others on this forum said back to this part owner.  It is clear he wants us off this forum as does another part owner.  My financial contribution appears to not be welcome here if I am not welcome.  Myst, another part owner, does want us here.  We will have to see if she is overruled and we are banned.

Banning does not remove the reality of Trump who should never be president of the local "Association of Nude Models", nor of the USA.  I see WWIII happening if he is president, and would vote for Clinton instead of him.  I expect the Constitution Party will get my vote.
