Why must you post such trivial stuff?

Don't you know folks here have more exciting and significant things to discuss, like the 26 practical survival uses of duct tape and the 30 most popular herbs for natural medicine or the latest bar trivia?

You'd think we're having an important election on which our future depends or something. Oh, wait.....

If one posts facts in favor of donald trump, or exposing hillary clinton here in this land mine of lies and deception, the facts are completely ignored and shunned, not to be discussed or revealed.

 On balancing the budget, raising income taxes won't do it . And, despite the candidates wish to ignore the problems facing Social Security and Medicare ,mainly insolvency, the reality is it's going to have to be faced sooner than later

Happy, I'm noticing as we get closer and closer to the election that the Trumpets, who claim to not need our vote, seem almost desperate to bring the NeverTrumpers in line by any means necessary.

Hate to tell all of you, but you aren't going to bend the forum or the posters to your will. I think it's time for all the Trumpets to do a serious mental self-check and reel in the armband, clicky boot, bullwhip, and baton supremacy schtick.

Your egos are writing checks your asses can't cash.

Most people know I generally refrain from pointed, political arguments.  I abandoned that years ago.  And, I certainly do not label people with aspersions due to their entrenched views.  Over the years, I have come to realize this too is an exercise in aggravation - arguing in anonymity with a person so invested. 

That said...

I find nothing of merit or value in your post.  You ought to apologize to the good folks here who allow the light of day to shine on a post such as this.  Others elsewhere would be far less magnanimous.

BTW...

I cannot be insulted into voting for Trump.  I cannot be ridiculed into voting for Trump.  I cannot be mocked into voting for Trump.  I cannot be shamed into voting for Trump.

I can be reasoned into voting for Trump.  Pictures of big crowds won't do it.  Pictures of long lines won't do it.  Reason and reason alone, will do it. 

You started this thread along those lines.  Well done.

Then you insulted the forum, its members and the forum hosts.  YOU sucked the oxygen out of it.  Self-damaging follow-up destroyed it.

Puzzling.

And the more time passes before those programs are dealt with, the more painful it's going to be when they ultimately fail, or get fixed.

Trump has the best positions on the issues. Trump has all the positions, he's been on both sides of everything. No one has more positions than Trump. His positions are yuge, almost as large as his hands. No one has better positions than Trump. I really mean that. Ask Sean Hannity.

Well, that depends on the day of the week, the current polls and where they are at the time they need to discuss "the issues".

Any analysis of where Trump *claims* to stand TODAY is irrelevant.

The man is as likely to maintain his positions as Hillary is to maintain her email history.

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!

Well, then, at least there's the chance that Trump might occasionally stumble and do the right thing.     No chance of that with Hillary.

Gee, I figured survival/homestead articles posted in the proper forum would fit well since we emphasize conservatism, self-sufficiency and independence here at TBR. Being that we are standing on the precipice of a giant debt cliff, I thought posting these things might be pertinent to people.

And yes, this is probably the most important election in this country's history. And we had an ego clown and a sociopathic megalomaniac show up to the party. Do they wonder why some of us feel a little Galt right now?
