Hate to say it, but I came on here looking for a fight....

It's called pride. I said I don't like brussel sprouts, I don't want brussel sprouts, and dammit, I ain't gonna eat no brussel sprouts!  ^-^  kids are so cute when they don't get their way.

@Right_in_Virginia @aligncare
I seriously hope you Svengalis aren't hoping to take your mind-reading act on the road. You'd get kicked into the ditch at the first truck stop.

I would have replied earlier to your parlor tricks but, after all, mother would kick me out of the parlor for the language you should be slathered with for such ridiculous slander, and besides, the thread was locked.

It is, as I have repeatedly stated MY vote, and I won't use it to support something I don't like.

I have repeatedly stated that Hillary nor Trump are acceptable to me, neither the serial adulterer not the serial rapist enabler are people I want in the office of President of the US, neither of those liars is acceptable, neither of those who are in contempt of or just ignorant of our Armed forces is fit to be Commander in Chief.
Trump is already backing water on his support of the Second Amendment kissing up to the el presidente of Mexico. So I don't think a guy who has supported an "assault weapons ban" in the past will be guaranteeing anything for me. Why would I vote for that? At least the 'pubbies who have been mushy on all the issues would put up some token resistance to a Democrat for such proposals, but might not fight against a Republican Liberal at all.

I am supporting someone from a Party which supports the Constitution of the United States of America (Darrell Castle).

Do you have a problem with supporting the Constitution of the United States of America?

If not, why are you snarking at me? Trump said he will support all 12 articles!!! (There are only seven. Oops. I would say he doesn't have any idea what he is talking about.) Hillary will subvert it all day.

Why would you support either of them? I won't.

It isn't because a plurality of primary voters and Dem crossovers pushed Trump through over a few better candidates, nor is it because the guy I supported during the primaries came in second, it is because the fellow you are holding up to be an acceptable candidate for POTUS just isn't, and neither is the b*tch he is running against.

Take it INTO the threads of that area, my Friend, Right_in_Virginina, is fair minded to a fault.   All that I offer, in sincerity and kindness, to you, is that RiV is a straight shooter, she does not play games, and will never lie to you.  Only bear this in mind, our Moderator,@Right_in_Virginia, is beyond reproach in her dignity and scholarship; please respect her intellect.

I had to leave for a while and am now back.  I will make this final post on this thread and that is it.  katzenjammer, you said you were not a regular here so you have no idea what has been happening.  It is absolutely true we were asked by mystery not to post on the PRO TRUMP ONLY section.  You can't just drop in and start giving edicts.  Either stay with the program to see the play before you cut up the actors, or stay silent or stay home.

A smart person who is a moderator would not use snide, cutting remarks to posters, then add a term of endearment to dismiss the poster as a lesser person than she is.  Only an arrogant person of lesser intelligence with illusions of grandeur for being a moderator would do that.  She is on my ignore list but it is nauseating to see her do that to others.  If she would stay in her safe room and moderate her safe room, removing posts she doesn't like, there wouldn't be a problem.  The end.

[Victoria33]

@Victoria33

I agree wholeheartedly.  This guy hasn't a clue as to what has been happening, but made the most astounding claims and demands.  I felt I had been dropped into the twilight zone today where TBR became the TOS for a little while.

Thankfully, you missed all the deleted posts.  Poor myst assuredly has dishpan hands and an aching back tonight.  Bless her.

katzenjammer writes like her with the same kind of false endearment words - I think it is RIV writing as katzenjammer.  I really am done with this thread, check your mail.

Yeah, most people are happier after they go...

A couple of days of not going will make you grumpy.

[Sanguine]

I do wish you would lay off Victoria33.  She has done nothing to merit the attention of the "mean girls".  Frankly, I'm surprised to see you teaming up with such company.  While you can be tedious at times, especially if someone has been rude or hurtful to you, you have mostly been kind to others until recently; thus my respect for you.  Picking on an 83 year-old woman merely because her opinion differs from yours is not something I would have expected of you.  The "mean girls" certainly, but not you.

We are mostly all friends here.  I had high hopes that we would be able to rise above this nasty election after it was finally over and return to being good friends.  Naive?  Probably, but I did have hope.  Hurtful words cast cannot be taken back.  Words should be chosen carefully and wisely.

It appears to me from reading the words of the "mean girls" that they are proud to have run off hundreds of forum members with their nasty behavior.  I surmise from their behavior of the last few days, they are going for another round by being as hateful and obnoxious as possible.  Since you appear to have thrown in with that particularly nasty lot, I can only assume you want us gone as well.  As I stated earlier, I am saddened.

The most idiotic of all this thought process of the "mean girls" is they seem to think they are helping Trump by behaving as he does.  All it does is remind those that are considering voting for him that he is a boor and his behavior will become the norm, something decent people do not wish to see happen.  How can one tell his child that it's not nice to mug 83 year old women when it is considered acceptable behavior?  All you bunch are doing is losing him votes, something that he sorely needs if you wish him to win as he has to win big to the electoral college.

If this is the road you wish to choose, have at it.  I can only speak for myself, but the "mean girls" will not run me off.  They won't be successful in their attempts to bait me to get me thrown off either.  They will simply look as they are... mean and petty.

After a certain age a good BM is better than sex.  As backed up as some of our more senior Trump supporters seem to be,  there is gonna be some serious toe curling throne sitting moments a coming.

@Victoria33

As you know .... removing posts that are deemed offensive by a moderator is TBR tradition .... as you witnessed on this very thread.

What you do not seem to know is: "safe room" was a term conceived by someone here as an insult---an insult which has stuck, unfortunately. 

But "safety" has nothing to do with the guidelines for posting in the Election Forum.  The guidelines are about respect--for the Republican candidate and those who support him; and vice versa. 

Constructive criticism of the candidate is okay; merely demeaning the candidate and his supporters is not.  So, leave behind the clever, knee-jerk references to idiots, morons, LIV, all things orange and references to members of the family formerly known as Pongidae, and you are more than welcome to join in.

There is a lot of important information contained throughout the Election Forum. I encourage you to participate in this forum. 

I hope you do.

Manure! If we are not free to comment on the orange glorious as we please, then this is no better than Flea Republic.

Manure! If we are not free to comment on the orange glorious as we please, then this is no better than Flea Republic.

It's pretty obvious, by now, that these Trump fans would turn this forum into yet another "no dissent allowed", free-speech-free forum like FR.   That they have their very own section in which no dissent is allowed speaks volumes about what they, and others like them, would do to the entire country....

if they could.

A Trump presidency would probably enable them to do just that.  Stifle freedom of speech (as he has already mentioned his intent to do so).

[aligncare]

I'm free to comment to the officer giving me that ticket. But, if I begin disrespecting him with personal insults, i'm going to hear about it.

[aligncare]

By the way, it's called common courtesy. Except on the Internet, then all bets are off.

[Smokin Joe]

If that was aimed at me, show me the personal insult. (There wasn't one).

Typical. You missed the point of what RIV was saying, and what I was reinforcing.

[aligncare]

Say! I've got a good idea! Now would be a good time for, oh I don't know management to step in and set things straight. Kind of explain things again...

[Smokin Joe]

Maybe it would be nice if you just spelled it out instead of harping on missing it and leaving me in the dark.

[musiclady]

OP, you managed to bring out the mean girls en masse.  This thread is just one big "You are ignoring this user." for me.  It figures since I agree with everything you said.

Good post.

LOL!  I noticed that myself.  Post after post of "Ignore" people who never say anything worth reading.....

I LOVE the IGNORE feature.  It saves so much time and aggravation. 

[musiclady]

You know, this thread illustrates something interesting. As I write this, there are just over 1400 views. If the Trump supporters wanted to disprove what I posited, this would be a terrific opportunity to do so.

However, they have instead done everything they can to prove my point. Even to the point of a moderator attempting to spin/mischaracterize my initial thesis.

There have been personal attacks, denigration of people/ideas, diversion, distraction, mischaracterization, etc.

But very little attempt by the Trump supporters to try to answer the statement: Why is it so difficult to ask questions/make criticism of Trump without being attacked?

Rather, they walked right into it and proved the point.

Sad, right?

There is never anything else.  They can't defend Trump on the merits (there are none), so they attack anyone and everyone who opposes anything about him.

[musiclady]

...but, you wouldn't notice given your present state of mind regarding Donald Trump. Just saying. My humble opinion.

Your crazy assumption about and attack against @mountaineer is one of the funniest things you've ever posted here @aligncare.

She's as fair-minded as anyone on this board, and NEVER attacks people about Trump.

When you go this far to disparage the best people on this forum, you prove how disingenuous you are.

Stop making yourself look like a fool.

[kartographer]

I never thought it either; probably because it hasn't happened.

Now, if "freedom of speech" means the right to treat others abusively, that's another story.

LOL! Pookie watch out Tom is after your job!

[kartographer]

I think the mods do well, if there is bullying, one has to "double-down" as they say.

The mods in some cases, do not seem to want to be confrontational as well; so then, the thing is to say one's point; and that is that.

It would seem that calling someone who isn't a Trump worshiper a Jackass is permitted.
