Trump's Second and Third year in office
Quote: EvenBobHoly crap, Trump turned into
Reagan today, giving the best
speech of his presidency. Even
Jim Acosta and Morning Joe
praised it. Very moving and
well delivered. There wasn't
a man on Omaha Beach that
day that didn't think they
were going to die, and they
went anyway.
Great speech. My only wish is that somebody else delivered it.
Quote: darkozObviously I have posted hard to accept facts
The truth hurts
Thats why a post about the reality of Fleaswatter suspension is met with a discussion about bus and trains i take as a retort.
In other words they had no legitimate answer.
It is a wonderful feeling when you know (and you know they know) you have just won an argument
The AP life is beautiful
The suspension was gaffed as BBB self admitted that she was giving leniency due to Fleaswatter not being perceived as being too far right. Your "facts" are as unbiased as the quote below.
Quote: beachbumbabs
Well, geez, guy. I stopped with the warning in part because I don't take you as being rabidly on the "other side of the aisle". Guess that was a wasted effort.
That is pretty much what government does is tax and then redistribute that capital sans the vig.Quote: terapinedI hate any business sucking money from US taxpayers
Businesses need to succeed or fail without the govt giving away billions
Trump bringing Socialism to the USA
I have supported capitalism and free trade my whole life. Still a registered republican
Obama car bailout, Trump farm corporation getting billions, its socialism
Farm subsidy's have been around as long as I can remember. Ethanol wouldn't even be a thing if the gov wasn't supporting corn farming, milk the same thing. You wouldn't have electricity at your house if the government wasn't supporting it. Every windmill you see is only spinning because tax dollars are feeding it, solar the same way. Florida power is a big windmill distributor.
Out of the 800 foreign military bases out scattered round the globe, at least 700 of them are only a short distance from a corporation extracting oil or mineral wealth. Read "Smedley Butler" and the United fruit company in south America.
Whether or not our government is socialist [for the wealthy] or Fascist [in business with corporations] is only semantic. But we have never had true capitalism in this country, the gov has always picked favorites. Look at the railroads, Standard oil, Louisiana Pacific, etc. "Privatized profits and socialized losses" is the game we play. The trick has always been to be on the receiving end.

She was obviously referring to the aisle seats on the plane since he is too conservative to take busses or trains

Sarcasm in response to the petty rant I got in return for leniency, and macallisters bs.

The only difference is that Obama never compared dodging STD's to dying in Vietnam., the same war Trump dodged and ridiculed a POW for getting captured in.
Trump's words ring hollow...because he's a douche.

What “personal insult” are you talking about? 🤷♂️
We are about 15 minutes away from our righties pretending that Earth's moon IS a part of Mars.
Quote: ams288When your president is as dumb as Donald, you learn something new everyday:
We are about 15 minutes away from our righties pretending that Earth's moon IS a part of Mars.
He garbled the message, and posted 2 seemingly opposing things. But the long-range Mars plan I saw (and I think it's the one they're currently operating under - I could be wrong) involves a moon base for stepped missions. It has to do with not being at the bottom of earth's deeper gravity well, and having room to mine for and store fuels, components, and hazardous materials.
So, as part of the mission plan, the moon IS the entry point to deep space launches, starting with Mars.

It gets better; less than one month ago:

Holy Cow! I bet you could get that funded in just a few days! What a way to keep the space missions going!

In Robert Heinlein's Future World stories, the moon was originally a prison colony, roughly analogous to Australia, except it was a one-way trip due to unavoidable physiological adaptations after a relatively short time.
Trump could definitely lead the way under those circumstances. Lol...
That would make for a good tagline.Quote: RSWhat “personal insult” are you talking about? 🤷♂️

He said i was trolling and suggested i may not be able to stop
I quoted that and said i consider that a personal insult.
Like all trumpers he prefers to then act like he doesnt know whats being talked about.

You quoted the whole post and didn't clarify until now that you think me calling you out for trolling is a personal insult (wtf?). And yes, you are 100% trolling and are continuing to do so. Re-read the post I told you to read. I'll give you a direct link, since it's a busload of pages back:

I have seen that post. What does that prove other than i am correct. Fleaswatter changed the meaning
And again you are personally insulting me by accusing me of trolling
I stand by my statement about Fleaswatter
Perhaps you didnt note that BBB ADDED the post to the one you linked to so that the correct meaning was not lost?
Perhaps you are the one who needs to go back and read the posts of that page?
Its difficult to believe you dont want to be called a trumper when you have the letter M from Trump as your avatar so that it can be part of spelling it in thank you's

I don't want to pull a Mission here, but I may have to.....
Quote: darkozNone of you guys are stupid. You must be purposefully trying to alter facts.
It was made quite clear the difference between the way I did it and the way fleaswatter did it.
Since its remotely possible you guys didnt see that explanation or really dont see the difference here I will explain it.
After I changed the persons quote to reflect a different meaning, I THEN SAID "HERE FIXED THAT FOR YOU".
What does that do?
It tells anyone who is reading MY QUOTING THAT THE OP HAD A DIFFERENT MEANING and if they are so inclined they can go back and take a look.
What Fleaswatter did was actually not change any wording. He simply CUT OUT THE FIRST PART OF THE SENTENCE AS A DIRECT INCOMPLETE QUOTE in order to change the meaning SO THAT ANYONE READING IT WOULD INCORRECTLY ASSUME THAT'S THE MEANING ORIGINALLY INTENDED.
The difference? Allowing any other posters viewing the successive post to know it was altered.
I let everyone know the meaning quoted was altered.
Fleaswatter did not
Reread the 2 lines above. Its as simple as that. Change meaning AND being deceptive that you are doing so is the infraction. You guys are smart. You do get it! You make yourselves look bad by politicizing it and acting like you cant tell the difference
Nonetheless Babs gave a passive warning anyway. Fleaswatter took it further.
I get that Fleaswatter was trying to do the whole movie review thing. Where the snooty film critic says "this was the most awesome film destined for the trash heap ever" and then all the newspaper ads from the studio quote him as such "...most awsome..."
Those are newspaper rules. Not this forums rules
And hell, Fleaswatter didnt even bother to put the mandatory three dots before and after the quote to WHICH IS NEWSPAPER ETIQUETTE TO ALERT THE READER SOMETHING IS BEING LEFT OUT
Once again, get it? Its changing the meaning without alerting the subsequent readers of the alterations made to the quote.
So your claim is there is a "clear difference" between the way you and fleaswatter edited quotes. Yours was followed with FTFY and his did not. Objectively, that's true. But it's misleading, since he wrote before the quote that the following is a misquote.
You're also pretending that the way fleaswatter did it that someone would read that part and not be able to read the post in context. That's obviously false because he quoted THE WHOLE THING right before it.
You say you let everyone know the quoted part was altered. That's true.
You say fleaswatter did not [let everyone know the quoted part was altered]. That is objectively false.
After reading that post, it was obvious you didn't read all of fleaswatter's post or simply felt like trolling. I figured you didn't read it in whole so I suggest you re-read it. You either didn't re-read it or you doubled down on your claim that there is a "clear difference" between your misquote and fleaswatter's....as if his intentions were nefarious while yours are innocent. Yes, you are 100% trolling, as I don't believe for a second that you can't or are unable to re-read fleaswatter's post in whole. This is fleaswatter's post:
Quote: FleaswatterQuote: SteverinosThe ironic thing is that Ron talked about what "the" problem is. "The" problem is the people who think Barack Obama is an African terrorist and Donald Trump is an American hero.
There's no sugar coating it. Their priorities, morals, and character are severely out of whack. #thanksObama

Wow, one of the few times you made any sense.
Please, stop playing games, Darkoz.

Quote: beachbumbabsWARNING. Do not take someone out of context in a way that changes what they said. This is a suspendable offense. You've gone further and reinforced the problem with an implied personal insult attached to the quote.
Quote has been amended to contain the entire post. It would help if you'd included some indication you were making a joke, which is how I'm taking it.
Im going to assume you did not see her post.
She clearly STATES FLEASWATTER POST WAS AMENDED TO CONTAIN THE ENTIRE POST
In other words what you keep using as YOUR EVIDENCE is not the way Fleaswatter posted originally
Originally before the Mod edited it, Fleaswatter did EXACTLY what I claimed he did.
Assuming you really didnt realize this I will accept that you made a mistake in your assessment which would be understandable
I will accept your apology for calling me a troll whenever you wish to give it

Its a problem with this forums design.
When you reply to a post it then hopskips you over any intervening posts.
I have become used to skipping back a few pages periodically to see what I missed.
Thats why I suddenly realized you may have missed her post.
All good.
I wont call you a trumper but that avatar? Hmmm, I dont know :)
For future reference, Wizard posted at the time of the hate speech rule that calling someone "troll" is to be considered a personal insult. Please keep that in mind.
Just West of Naco, US Military in uniform playing volleyball over the fence with a bunch of teens and preteens on the Mexican side.
Then a little later, a monster drone flew by. Most drones I've seen are smaller than fighter planes, this one was the size of a passenger jet. It flew very low and made no noise, as if it were an airship.
I'm getting better at this trip. Got back to Vegas in just under 8 hours. Not bad considering I still can't find my way through Phoenix.
Did you get a look at the bottom side of it, and did you notice anything peculiar?Quote: billryanWitnessed two amazing things down on the border yesterday.

Also did you see what the drive looked like or could you describe the ship? I saw something a few times quite large, but only at night.
This story needs to be told to the criminals looking to illegally enter America.
Perhaps there is money to be saved by releasing swarms a few miles over the Mexican border before they get to our border. Mexico seems to be open to options because of the fear Trump put into them over tariffs.
Congratulations to the brave BP agent who risked his life and job to help a couple criminals.

Its what separates humans from scum.
The humanity of saving someone who needs help regardless of their past actions
I have to agree with you on this. When someone's life is in danger you don't stop to think if they deserve help or not.Quote: darkozIts what separates humans from scum.

I never really thought of people being heroes for doing something you should do and saving someone's life. Then again, I guess there are some people who wouldn't or can't spring into action when presented with a situation.

Do you have any idea who many
die every year trying to save the
life of someone else. Drownings,
running into a burning building,
hunting for a lost person and
getting lost themselves, dashing
into traffic, falling off a ladder,
etc.. So you go ahead and 'spring'
into action while I'm thinking about
it.

Heroes don't think. They react. Nobody takes the time to consider the ramifications of running into a burning building. It is why people in dangerous professions constantly drill. It becomes instinctual.

Quote: lilredroosterTrump administration's ICE has wrongly deported military veterans....
Another pussy bait article from wapo.
They were vulcan convicted criminals.
“In its letter, ICE said “100 percent” of veterans removed in the study were deported because of drugs, sexual abuse, firearms, explosives, kidnapping and other charges, though it did not mention veterans outside the scope of the report.”
"When collecting data on criminal convictions, we limited our analysis to the convictions listed on the veteran’s Notice to Appear (NTA), as those convictions formed the basis for initiating removal proceedings which resulted in an order of removal executed by ICE. We did not assess whether and to what extent an individual may have had other criminal convictions beyond those listed on the NTA. We also did not specifically analyze the listed convictions, as DHS has discretion in issuing charges of removability." - GAO

“In its letter, ICE said........................though it did not mention veterans outside the scope of the report.”

But you seem so sensitive, I wonder why.
