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.

The only problem with that graphic is that I believe the woman in the upper left quadrant is Donald Trump Jr.'s wife Vanessa, not Trump's daughter Ivanka.

I think you are correct.  Did not watch the speech tonight, but plan on voting for Trump.

Cant tell if Trump did well or not.  After reading both threads here, it is like two different speeches were given...

Trump's Castro-like manifesto tonight made it very certain that there is absolutely NO DIFFERENCE between the GOP, the Democrats OR Hillary.

That HE ALONE can fix the country - and HE can stop corporations from moving out of the country and firing their employees is every bit a Fascist and dictatorial as Benito Mussolini's prescription for Italy in 1922 was.

Now because the historical reference is offensive to the snowflakes who worship the Orange One - I imagine that they will report it and I will again be forced to edit the comment.

However, when you compare some of the speeches of Benito in the early 20s with what we heard tonight from Trump - and your hair should stand on end.

Okay, next question. Does your mommy know you are on the computer?

Oh hurts so bad, no my mommy doesn't know I am on the computer.  She has been dead for over 10 years and would be 113 years old a little later this year.

How about yours?

What indications of rioting or destruction have you seen in postings on an internet forum?

Really.

The characterization is not warranted, is inflammatory, and is intended to cause aggravation.

Try #2 or something between #1 and #2.

Really. 

Your last line about not warranted, inflammatory and intended to cause aggravation is exactly what I read into the vast majority of posters on this thread who whined for three nights about Trump.

But then I don't take people who act like this to seriously.

 A: That's not a question.  But, yes.  He did.  Here's a little secret though... my guy always loses.  If my guys were winning, our country wouldn't be as screwed up as it is.

Ain't this the truth...

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!

Benito himself, who also said, "Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power”. Sounds like what he wants to me.

Pro and con comments have been made on the Open Thread.  Myst gave Trump good marks on his speech here.

I gave Donald junior an 'A' on his speech and Eric a B+.

Even neutral comments made on the other thread are deleted.  I know.

Why bother over there?

Don't forget he's the candidate for LGBT and Q  what is Q?  And Trump is going to pull all of the Democrats in. 

I am tired of LGBT and who?  Wouldn't it just be all right to say we want to protect all citizens.  We have to call out to the gay community?  Like yeah I'm the candidate for you.  More gay rights?

Or rather, Trump was quoting Benito..

The speech and delivery both stunk.

Just dont have the emotional energy to both watch the speeches and see our community split.  From FR and now into two camps here.

I think I am the only Trump realist left on the site.  Trump and his supporters have now pushed some budding realists ( healthy) or even maybes into Nevers.

Conventions are supposed to do the opposite.

Perhaps, in this bizzarro world, Hillary will push some nevers into being realists......
