WOW! POLITICAL SUICIDE! TED CRUZ REFUSES TO ENDORSE TRUMP – CROWD BOOS HIM OFF STAGE

[IsailedawayfromFR]

Well, I had been wondering what happened to Mechanicos.  It took a little digging. Let me get this straight...

catfish1957  said on July 23, 2016, 09:49:01 AM -> " Mechanicos is a serial liar, who gets his marching orders from TOS.  Pretty much have gotten used to it."

Mechanicos replied -> "Kicking your ass with truth buddy is not lying. You obviously cannot tell a liar from a truth teller."

And your response, Mod2, was to whack Mechanicos. Only.  Got it. This reinforces my suspicions about this place.

Ironically, a picture of the Gipper is on the home page. If he were still here, he would verbally bitchslap the lot of you.

You conveniently forgot to mention the many times that serial liar was called out by many and no admission or apology ever came out.

Ronnie would be proud to call a liar a liar and not just ignore the problem, so you are way way off there.

Right... His love for the Gipper was so great that he couldn't even spell his name correctly repeatedly. He spelled it "Regan"... Sorry, no fan of Reagan would do that as often as he did.

And as far as lies go, he did it over and over and never admitted it ever even after it was pointed out with references. At some point a lie is a lie and can't be ignored.

I accused him of being an outsourced disruptor from India and later asked him how things were going in Mumbai.

Shortly after I got a directive to edit or remove the offensive post. Trump snowflakes can take it but melt when the heat gets turned up.

Well, I see that you have been corrected a number of times already, but it bears repeating @Labette

Mechanicos' untruths were nearly pathological, and repeated in spite of warnings to stop slandering others on TBR.

Maybe you think slander in the name of the Almighty Trump is acceptable, but morally it is repugnant.

And maybe you think that whining when you are clueless as to what really happened is somehow noble, but it just makes you look ignorant.

I realize that to follow Trump as you do, you have to be tolerant of outright lying, as Trump does nearly every day, but it's not acceptable among the decent folks at TBR.  There are other places that think as you do, that lying in the name of Trump is A-OK, but you're not going to make many friends around here standing up for the people who do it.

[geronl]

@Labette , @catfish1957 was telling the truth.  @Mechanicos fibs as often, if not more often, than Trump!  I know...  hard to imagine, but he does.

He would have already posted the ridiculous meme that Ted Cruz was at the DNC applauding Hillary, in capital letters and in several subforums

That's not confined to the Military! That is the story of the entire federal government!  Come to think of it it is the story of government in general no matter what level!

Don't leave out that the importance of your department is determined more by size than the job it does in the grand scheme of things. The twenty guys or fewer who generate the software that puts a SLBM on target are less important than the department that cleans the facility, because their department is less than half the size.

@Mechanicos finally got himself banned.  And here I thought he was absent all week because he had a convention to attend.

Not banned. Got a 24 hour suspension, which expired on the 24th July.

Not giving it tax funding and not mandating hospitals and insurance companies to do them and cover them would be nice.

Agreed - and that's been the basic consensus for decades now.  Recognizing that folks of conscience disagree on this issue,  it's been agreed that citizens should not be forced by means of their tax dollars to pay for a procedure they find profoundly immoral,  and to respect the integrity of medical services providers who take oaths to do no harm.

That's what's so astonishing about the new Dem platform - it seeks to overturn that consensus, and perhaps destroy the last vestiges of comity left in our political process.   And then Hillary has the cojones to declare from the stage that she seeks to unite us?

Does anybody else think Trump sealed his fate here?  The door was propped open by Hillary's emails.  Then Trump slammed it shut by repulsing a fraction of conservative Republicans, a group that usually gives their nominee 100% support. 

If Trump were not such an amateur, he would have apologized to Cruz after the Indiana primary.  Then it is likely Cruz would have endorsed Trump by name prior the general election.  At the very least, Trump could have spun the Cruz speech as a positive and said he hoped to win Ted's full support later on.  Then he could have graciously offered to call on every non-endorser for advice as needed.

The man does not know what he's doing, and unless Hillary runs the worst campaign in history, she is going to be the next president.

Trump is his own worst enemy, obviously.

Of course this will not stop his supporters from blaming everyone but him should things go south.

OH absolutely!  And supervisory paychecks are based on the number of people under your supervision so the ONLY incentive is to make it grow!

Trump sealed his fate with his own behavior period.

You could have asked me 20 years ago if I would ever consider voting for Donald Trump and I would have told you know while walking away laughing.

Trump doesn't look good in orange.

They're just admitting that we were right all along. Nominate Trump and Clinton will become president.

[geronl]

I wish. The government has been funding Planned Parenthood for a very long time, hardly a consensus against that. At least among politicians.

I thought this election was supposed to be something new, but its looking a whole lot like the last two or three.

Vote for our guy 'cause their guy is worse. I am so tired of this.

[catfish1957]

You people suck.

So you think principled conservatives suck.....    That speaks volumes about you.

[JustPassinThru]

This time they crossed a line.

I voted for Romney - enthusiastically, even.  Less so for McCain; but the country wasn't in the dire straits it is now.  But while those were not exciting choices, they were real choices.  No one could say either of them were stealth Democrats.  Romney was a liberal but not an economic idiot.  McCain was a doofus but he wouldn't take marching orders from hard-left academia and unions.  Not to the extent that the African Moslem has.

THIS time the RNC went all out.  They were going to hoist up their pet, Shrub, because he knew how to win the nomination without us yukky base voters.  That failed; and they found the next-best thing.  A LUNATIC who'd say ANYTHING as long as the camera was focused on his orange fake-tan skin; a guy with no principles who was trying out buzzwords to see what the crowd loved.

The RNC found its stooge.  Worship him and he'll behave; and if he can't deliver the election, at least he'll keep the White House from crackpots like Cruz and Walker and all those limited-government crazies.

This was a different election, all right.  NEVER before have we seen such contempt four our values, our nation, or very person.

The GOPe is probably as surprised as they are delighted in the way things have turned out. For awhile there it looked like Trump might be the change they were dreading.
