Allow me say it’d be dull around here without RIV, edpc, DC, jpsb, abcdefg and all the rest. But, chill folks! Singapore was just a meeting and the earth is still on its axis. No one’s going anywhere.

We all come back sooner or later anyway.   :laugh:

When you see me walkin down the street
and I start to cry

Okay, opinion noted. Now, let's get back on topic.

What if someone who wasn't one of us "Briefers" were looking in?  They'd be seeing this infighting. There is enough in the news without all of this and I think it pretty much goes both ways, accusing others of having too thin of a skin could mean, usually, those for the President don't take offense per say, driftdriver and me, we just walk on. This was about someone who took offense to apparently what RIV said. I think RIV has almost a "possessiveness" about her, but trolling, insulting, I don't think she does much if ever.  There I said my 2 cents, we all have it. Back to the topic.

Well we are an open forum where people are allowed to express their feelings...and that includes all the infighting.. :smokin:

Maybe we need a dedicated thread on target identification.  As in the democrats!

   @TomSea
   Very good snapshot of what you perceive the dangers to the further growing of TBR is, in members (we had 4.6 million hits last month), but this is where I have always drawn the Line, there are many more future briefers (Guests now) that desire both sides to a debate, if it is done respectfully, and I don't think our 'usual' dustups bother them much.
   Myst has put together a pretty good group of people.

   With all due respect @Right_in_Virginia, and I say that sincerely, though you probably have me on Ignore,  the problem, IMHO, is you Trumpers need to grow a Thicker Skin, $hit, I've even been called a hellary lover here, that pales to the same kinda crap yall have been called.
   It's an Internet Political Forum, unlike TOS and Trumpbart, Briefers are encouraged to discuss different opinions (respectfully!).   It's a Feature not a Bug.   

Here's the difference I've experienced @corbe  I participate in several forums. What I've not witnessed since the dreadful election season ended is a personal animas that transfers from thread to thread for months on end. 

I have engaged in sharp-witted, fact-based political debate on numerous occasions. It's invigorating, and challenging.  At worst, there's an agreement to disagree...usually with a hat tip for a debate well played.   Not once has it devolved into psychobabble about the other poster.

All I ask is if one disagrees with my point, do so with a cogent, reasoned rebuttal. If there isn't one .. I would hope a poster would walk on by rather than attack me, the opinion holder.  Really, just walk on by.  I'm at the point where I'm poised to respond in kind and I would prefer not to.

Nothing short of Astounding. Never thought I would live long enough to see this happening now. It's like watching the moon landing in the 60s.

@corbe

In all seriousness you rarely insult me for Trump stuff and personally I appreciate your softcore porn @mystery-ak might not but she's a stick in the mud sometimes.

No I'm referring to pepe like @INVAR and @Oceander where nearly every single post has an insult or something intended to be demeaning.  It gets old.  It's to the point where it really outweighs the enjoyment.  You can't discuss anything without getting insulted by those folks and everything is about Trump to them.

Now I'll be accused of whining so screw u all.

Projection, heal thyself.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

@AbaraXas

Yes.  Trump had a film made, gave it to Kim; the film showing what North Korea could be like if they love Trump.  In the film there was a beautiful beach (it is a Florida beach).  So, yes, if Kim bows to Trump, Trump will make North Korea another Trump golden masterpiece (of course, Trump gets a kickback of money when people use anything with the Trump name on it).

This was a brilliant demonstration of how to market freedom.  Very cool.  Only a businessman would know how to pull this off.   ^-^

    White House, that's good.   



The last time Trump hosted an Asian at Maralago all I got was 59 tomahawks.

Its easy to imagine Trump selling a resort development project in exactly the same manner.

Trying a different approach to matters of state is why he was elected - we shall see how it works.

@Right_in_Virginia

I will admit that some of my responses to you in the past might have been colored by my personal animus regarding the "safe spaces" debacle that is now ancient history.  I'll do my best to put that behind me now and will endeavor to respond to yo0ou as you request henceforth. I hope you will do likewise and dispense with the pettiness that many see in some of what you post.

If a poster doesn't have a cogent reply in rebuttal to what I post ... then walk on by. Stop acting like judge, jury and executioner of me...the person.   No one has this right.

You want the endless petty sniping to end ... well, I've got what appears to be news for you.  So do I.  I suggest folks take a good look in the mirror before throwing any more judgments and accusations at me.

You should look in a mirror first there lady.  I don't know how many times you've done a hit and run snipe attack and make all kinds of suggestions from 'opening a window', "listen to all the voices in your head'; to 'get a life';  simply because you did not like a comment that was not even addressing you, but was critical of Trump.  So you got no authority whatsoever to lecture anyone here about that kind of conduct.  You are simply doing that which you accuse.

It was cheesy.  The sort of stunt that a third-rate timeshare salesman would pull.
