Perhaps there are so few comments on the article itself because it is a great big nothing burger.

No it's a big story...especially the way Mittens trashed Trump and how some folks had you asked them during the election would have sworn on a stack of bibles Trump would NEVER have anything to do with Romney in any election.

And yet here we are.

Kabuki Theater.

You see that as no problem. I see it as subjecting good people to repeated, unnecessary serious insults, with little consequence.

It is like shouting "baby killer," at a Vietnam vet for example. I happen to serve in Germany with two purposes: Occupying force following WWII, and stand against the Cold War enemy, USSR.

The type of thing which really triggers vets, is those who failed to serve, playing games about military service.

Not gonna let you do that. Your original claim was that mods let people get away with nazi imagery. That is clearly not true.

I do appreciate that those images mean much more to some than others, and can be extremely offensive.

Speaking of unnecessary insults and subjecting people to things...you have no room to talk with certain comments you've made here recently.

Why not give the examples you have in mind, then?

Good grief, none of this brilliant repartee has anything to do with Mitt. Worse, it's not remotely interesting.

How about if one of us posts a "Mitt as Hitler" photo to liven things up? :dx1:

Here we go.........

There are a surprising number of them out there!

Equating Mitt or just about any US politician (including Trump or Obama) and Hitler demonstrates an appalling ignorance of history.

Indeed! And there's a heck of a lot of that ignorance running around out there.

As was the 11th Commandment.

So when is it you're going to stop speaking ill about this forum and the members here that don't agree with you? And when will you start admonishing your fellow ETers about speaking ill about this forum and the members here that don't agree with them? I mean, you are planning on following your own advice, aren't you?

Looks like you didn't actually read the comments if that's your response.

Can't answer simple yes or no questions, a joke Christian has to spew hate at another. Has to call other names, talk vulgarly to them. What a phony.

I must have missed something. Could you post what was vulgar and name calling? Could be I just missed it otherwise it is character assassination. This is kind of ugly.

@Chosen Daughter any mention of Trump endorsing Romney is considered "vulgar and name calling" to some around here.

Can't stand Mitt Romney. And I don't like how Bain operates either.

I know, been there but wanted to see if he could show specifics.

@driftdiver I find the yankees to be fine people... as long as they only come to Florida for short visits. ^-^

Chosen Daughter · « **Reply #196 on:** February 21, 2018, 01:53:25 am »

So to me what doesn't add up with this endorsement is Trump supporting a man who made his living putting Americans out of work. Doesn't go along with the MAGA mantra. In fact it is everything Trump said he would work against. I worked at a company that was bought out by Bain Capital so I know from first hand experience how they operate.

@RoosGirl ... We've been posting to and around each other for quite some time now. And I've come to realize that you are uncomfortable entering the arena of ideas, preferring to stay on the playground, so to speak. In all candor this is just not my cup of tea -- so it only follows neither are your posts.

Here you entered a thread pointing your finger at me and admonishing me for perceived bad behavior. Your post did nothing to advance an earlier discussion on letting go of the past ... even missing that I volunteered to go first.

So, yes, in a grownup world inhabited by thinkers, your post was silly. This is my opinion and I do ask you to agree. All I ask is that you not waste time and energy posting to or about me. For this you have my sincere "thank you" in advance and a promise to return the same respect.

Actually, after 2 years of reading your posts I just think you're full of shit. I've tried having a "grown up" conversation with you, but it always involves your sniping. And now, after having seen your bullshit ideas for the last 2 years I give zero bleep about having a "grown up" conversation with you. And no, I won't stop calling out your bullshit. You don't like what I have to say then put me on ignore, or go back to people who maybe actually like you at TOS.

The amount of condescension, and down-talking while you make all kinds of demands amidst your snark I have concluded is not just the kind of behavior one expects from a Leftist 'intellectual' know-it-all. But pretty much Republican Party hack loyalist know-it-alls as well.

But she did nail you adroitly on the hypocrisy of your own position for a silly child on the playground who is not interested in entering the arena of ideas.
