Don't blame the Trump people that the #Never Trumpers decided to cling to their tactics of the bile lace tirade and the infantile insult. The hand was extended, you all decided to slap it away out of petulance.

So be it.

Speaking of tirades, this is how you extend the hand of friendship?

The Never Trumpers are going to be in total freak out mode as they work out their grief, anger and denial. As much as ego suggest we rub their faces in Trumps victory, just let it go.

IMHO, I haven't seen much "total freak out mode" on TBR. A much better example of that was Colbert's Election Night Special on Showtime.  Now THAT was total freak out mode, a glorious 90 minute example of it.

Yeah............ like angry Obama supporters extended their gracious hands to Republicans.  LOL!

Stay away from HBO's Westworld!   :silly:

At least Trump's been stepping away from the role of Negan (Walking Dead).

Hmmm........... don't watch either of those.

Clean up your act, @txradioguy

@mystery-ak

@DCPatriot here's an idea...I'll agree to that if you and the rest of your buddies here stop with the references to those of us who didn't vote for either candidate as being #nevertrumpers?

Or is this just supposed to be one sided because Trump supporters don't have to abide by the rules that us normal folk do?

Your call.

Nope. You own post proves the point. Once again an emotional personal attack. Never Trump spewed emotional bile at everyone then whined in horror that they got shot back at in the same tone. CLEAN UP YOUR ACT, don't blame everyone else for responding in kind to your tactics of choice.

Never Trumpers electing Hillary Clinton out of spite their candidate lost the primary would of been the Pyrrhic victory for Conservatives. The SC Justice Hillary would of appointed alone would of been a bad enough But I see you would rather ride you angst down in flames then move on. So be it.

You like projection don't you? 

I gave a very measured logical response and simply suggested you make sure your own backyard is cleaned up before you point fingers.

Your whole OP was one big emotional whine...designed to bait people into reactions that would allow you to point fingers.

Pathetic.

Try and be gracious in your phyrric victory.

So that's a no.  Got it.  You are admitting you are completely unwilling to abide by @mystery-ak 's desire to be civil and furthermore you're perfectly content being a disruptor to the overall tone of TBR.

Sorry...you're not going to make this a one way street where you and your comrades can say anything you want and act anyway you feel like out of some sense of justified righteousness simply because your Liberal Dem candidate won an election.  You want to do that...I suggest logging in over at FR...you'll enjoy the echo chamber.

You're not going to extract revenge here.

Sorry if that offends you and the rest of the Trumpkins.

Yeah that right there is why no one believes it when you play the victim card.  We know you don't mean it.

You just want that one way street and to exact revenge.

Not very adult or gracious.

I'll lay the blame for being a bitter, anger-consumed poor winner right where it belongs:  at your feet. 

And I sure as heck don't want your hand.  I have no idea where it's been.

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.

It's closer to 70-75 minutes IIRC, as the tide didn't turn until about 15-20 minutes into the show. The last hour is awesome, though.
