You #Never Trumpers decided you ego was more important then moving forward. Childish for you to object when people return your fire back at you. There is a wide moral difference between being the aggressors (i.e. Never Trumpers) and the defenders.

Buddy.....

Everything that needs to be said has been said, thousands of times over the past eighteen months.

At this point, you aren't going to make any lights go off in somebody's head with, "Gee....I hadn't thought of that!"

Just smile, @GAJohnnie ......and know that we picked the horse that won the race that saved the Republic.....if only for 4 years.

To me...it was like it's always been on the political forums...like watching a big game on TV in a room with all your frat/sorority brothers and sisters....razzing one another.

It's been like that for me, with their 'leader', my friend @sinkspur ....as well as that night when they all jumped down my throat when what I said was construed as calling for censorship here.      Me.....calling for censorhip?   LOL!

And BTW....sink and I are still good with each other.

As a founding member (not that I expect that to hold sway), I 'demanded' that "this shit" had better stop once the Convention was over and Trump as nominated....

We all know how that worked out.....in less that 5 seconds, some of my best friends in here knocked the snot out of me.

Then....I said, "Surely after the election, we can all come together".

Uh-huh.........meh!

Is this the 'new and improved' version of TBR, going forward?

Where anybody tripping on us notices it is a site weighed heavily against our President?   A GOP President?

That's the beginning and end of where I was coming from.

I am truly sorry if that didn't always come thru in my posts.

I had long suspected that Pooh and Piglet were both liberals.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Do you believe Nancy has decided to throw away everything she worked for in order to take sides in an internecine conflict between Republicans?

Of course not!    Please point out where I said that...or even inferred that.

Thanks in advance.

Just this.  Others may interpret it differently.

Nope....Nancy never came to my mind while writing that.

I was thinking how we used to disagree without personal rancor...how we didn't even NEED moderators.

Not a site, where the majority of members sit and watch for any opportunity to pounce upon or flame anything positive in all matters regarding "TRUMP"!

I would put forward the opinion that this site was never as idyllic as you present it to be.

I took some pretty good beatings here LONG before Trump came around.  Mostly from people who share your feelings about us lowly "SOCONS."  (We were a clear minority here a while back).

You probably don't remember that, do you?

Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

The only aggressors I see here are Trumpsters who are bitterly disappointed that we ARE moving on, and not having a meltdown like the pro-Hitlery people.

You just never wrapped your head around the fact that we didn't want her either.

I, for one will remain steadfast to my principles, and win or lose, he still falls short.

I assume you blame the Never Trumpers for that.  No wonder I see demands from Trump supporters every day to ban all the Nevers.

@GAJohnnie

A couple of things:

You don't control the votes of others, no matter how badly it sticks in you, so I suggest you accustom yourself to that fact.

Also, TRUMP WON.  HE. WON.  He's the president-elect of the United States.  So why are you still so miserable and bitter?
