I guess NeverTrump was desirous of making yet another obfuscational point.

And yet 3 of the first 4 posts are from Trump zealots.

Fascinating how truth is non germane to your posts, ac........
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

They were over there high fiveing each other about getting another thread in the main forum that they don't like shut down and oops! It's back!

Yeah....that's what we want to do.   :whistle:   "Shoot you for treason"....

Your compatriots at other fora and on social media have been quite direct in their promise to carry such threats out on those of us whom they have already blamed should Trump "lose" to the Mao Pantsuit.

Uh....why does "butt hurt" have to automatically be interpreted as "anally raped"?

Ever have a hemorrhoid?   Ever get sick and have diarrhea for a couple of days?

Get your mind right, @jmyrlefuller     :whistle:
That's not at all what you mean, and you know it. The accusation has been made more than once that we opponents of Trump are simply "butthurt" because Cruz lost; as in, it was directly caused by the act of Trump winning the primary in a hostile and divisive manner. I would hope that I don't have to extend the metaphor of forced entry, as this is a public forum, but it should be clear.

That makes it sound like an active campaign to disrupt the forum.  I've read elsewhere on the forum that that kind of behavior isn't tolerated.

Guess we'll see.

Wow.  They're even more dishonorable than I thought............ and that was bad enough.

They have their own safe space where they can say whatever they want and we can't counter it with truth, and they STILL come to the main forum (the real one) and try to shut down threads?

Yikes.

I don't give a crap what other 'fora' say.

You've never read a threat like that here, so stuff it.

NOTE to jmyrlefuller......don't read too much into that.    :laugh:

The interesting thing is that aligncare used that vulgar attack on a thread where no one had said a word against Trump.

It was simply an effort to disrupt the thread and pick a fight like a school yard thug.

(And from what has been revealed here, apparently to shut down the thread and be congratulated by other thugs......)

I was told straight up that I would be 'taken out' if I continued to be negative toward Trump. Kept a screenshot for posterity. Of course, I didn't take it seriously but another person might have.

Generally, when I'm threatened not to criticize someone in authority, that's a sign to me to double down. I read too much Tocqueville when I was young so I believe the more one is told they are not supposed to question power, that is the time when you are supposed to question it the most. So every time I'm called a traitor or some chairborne ranger makes what they think is a threat, I'm going to double down.

That's fair enough, AbaraXas!

I wasn't aware somebody in here threatened to "take you out".  That's quite a charge?

Care to share it with us?   Or, are we supposed to take it on faith?

What?  A principled Constitutional Conservative with values who expects integrity and character in a President?  SHAME on me.

Yeah............ I'm sure you want everyone to see who I've "become," DC.

The EXACT person I was when you called me "friend."

I haven't changed ol' buddy.  YOU have.   

And your using 6th grade insults against me doesn't really make me look bad.  Just you.  So if you're trying to hurt me, it's an epic fail.  And the more you try, the worse you look, DC.  So it may be in your best interest......... emotionally, that is......... to quit trying.

Have you noticed.....how the Trump camp has ramped up the insults, passive aggressive taunts and attacks and snark lately?  Methinks they're (finally) starting to get nervous over Trump's "real" agenda and recent flip-flops.  Expect them to double-down on the trolling from here on until election day.

Nothing says "constitutional conservative" and "expecting integrity in a President" like sitting back and allowing Hillary Rodham Clinton to become the 45th President of the United States - - - and feeling it's the better choice.    888blackhat

The only reason we have not read a threat like that here on this board from the minority of Trump acolytes here - is because of the rules that are enforced by the mod staff.

If the rules here became as they are at other boards that Trump's militants have taken over and turned into Trump Safe Spaces, I am certain those same death threats would be flung as often as the charges of being Hillary supporters are flung on this board.  It's easy to discern that desire (written or not) from all the ridicule and vehement vitriol being offered and flung daily at those of us who have said ad nauseum, we are not ever casting a vote for Trump.  Ever.

It seems a Trump Activist's nature to declare all who will not vote for their prince to be  traitors - and some to openly suggest that we deserve a traitor's death for refusing to vote the way they demand.

Simply makes such fanatics the same kind of tyrants (if not worse) than Hildabeast's Commies.

But alas, such is the zeitgeist having overtaken the nation.

Your continuous personal attacks and insults duly noted ......

if all you were interested in was really just, as you claim, "supporting the duly ELECTED Nominee of the Party against Hillary Clinton", it wouldn't be necessary for you to constantly be in 'troll/insult mode'.  You would just state your case and leave it at that.  But nooooo!

And frankly, my dear.....I don't give a tinkers' damn what you are tired of.  Comprende?
