Pretty sure that conversation would go like this:

Reporter: 'was Obama born in the US?'
Trump: 'you're fake news, this is why everyone hates you, did I ever tell you about my uncle from MIT? Very good brain.'

Rinse, repeat.

US reporters need to take a cue from UK and commonwealth reporters and simply end interviews if the subject is unwilling to answer basic questions and/or is pitching obvious lies. It's a basic duty to their audience.

Like this, doesn’t even bother to address it and just attacks the question instead.


I don’t have my sound on, so I guess I can’t hear all the applause and cheering for Trump here

I read your OP, and knew exactly how the thread would turn out. Nothing neutral or positive can be said about Trump in P&N without absurd amounts of backlash, and a fair bit of hostility. This is a hard left forum and dissenting opinions aren't welcome.
By "knew how this would turn out" do you mean I would get corroborating evidence to derive a more accurate conclusion.

You were right. That's why I checked out interviews from the people actually there.

Differing opinions are welcome so long as you can back them up with evidence. By evidence I don't mean because Trump told me.

Hi I'm still here. I don't think I'm wrong. At all. Who started the name calling here? We can have fun all day, let's keep it going.
So the people who actually attended the event are wrong and you are right?

Just give it up.

Notice how Greenman never answered our simple questions about Trump rape in other thread. Greenman is just a magat coward concern troll.

Hard left? You clearly have no understanding of what that means.
I don't know WHY I thought this old aging forum was naturally more mature. Nah, it's the same echo chamber as reddit or anywhere else. And I say this as a democrat.

Oh the multiquotes and owning people online - grow up.
I took a look in r/conservative yesterday, and even in there very few people were saying he did well...

What the fuck are you babbling about?
What are you babbling about? Really, dropping f bombs? You triggered? Simply pointing out your post in this thread talking about posters was funny with you going welcome to Trumpistan in another thread. Quite funny. You babbler you.

Okay, why don't you go ahead and quote my post about Trumpistan.

You are right. My bad. I mistook you for another poster. I blame the lack of coffee.

Also, you dropping f bombs rather than asking what I meant would be appreciated. I made a mistake. As well all do.

We need to move this discussion to Kola peninsula... It's Russia, for the uninformed.

On (kinda) topic, Trump absolutely bombed and was extremely rude, plus him getting removed off the stage in almost half the time he was supposed to be there... Means the team realised it's better to fish him out rather then let him dig his hole farther than the OP...

Still trying to get an answer from @Greenman on this question so I will try again for the 3rd time here...

Do you have a daughter or a niece? One day you will have to justify to them supporting the sexual assaulter vs the person who put sexual assaulters in prison.

How will that conversation go? "Well honey, you just may have to tolerate powerful men putting their hands down your pants because of the bigger picture. We need those tax cuts"

Or will you just deny it happened despite being found libel in court and admitting in publicly.

But according to some we are ganging up on the OP for asking questions and disagreeing with their opinion.

It's OK to disagree about opinions. But when you question facts and turning into "this color is blue cause I say so" it's just going the 1984 direction...

It's a bit telling when multiple threads suddenly become "me against the world" shitfest around a single poster. I leave it to the reader whether that's "me" or "world" at fault....all I know is that the handy ignore function can't rescue things when it's page after page.

It would be nice to get back to talking about an issue and not someone's feelings about it, just my 2c. Disagreement is fine, but people have to take it instantly to insults.

I think part of the problem is that a lot of us have been posting here for so long and we’ve seen the same patterns over and over again (shit post, get questioned about it, troll exposed, troll leaves) that some immediately assume it’s just another troll and immediately attack. It’s hard to blame them but at the same time I’m sure it’s jarring for new p&n posters who probably aren’t used to having to defend/support their opinions.

I for one only asked question of the OP about the substance of the Trump lies on first page and he started getting personal in replies. Got to expect conflict in a political forum thread 🤣

I took a long break while I was overseas. When I came back in 2014.. I was looked upon as a troll initially. Back then the real trolls were someone's crazy mind, speedy, compuwiz etc.

Some of them have left, some stuck around.

The OP responded just like Trump. Put a bunch of facts in his face and he lashes out and calls us rude.

Maybe use alt-facts next time?

Yeah but he wasn't calling the people who posted facts rude, he was calling the people being terse rude. You have to admit the pile on was swift and relentless, whether it was deserved or not.

It isn't like this is some one-off occurrence on this forum. I once confused Pelosi and Feinstein in a thread and was essentially nuked from orbit, and that shit continued long after I had admitted my mistake and clarified my adjusted position. Some people just need to get the venom and bile out. I get it. Sometimes I need to get that shit out myself. I just don't like dog piling or excessive (like orders of magnitude) escalation.

So you confused posters in this forum, got nuked from orbit yet when I admit confusing you and other poster in this thread you nuke me from orbit. 🤷‍♂️

Yes, I knew you had me confused with someone else but wanted to give you all the rope you needed to hang yourself because I can't decide between you, @MrSquished or @darkswordsman17 which one is the king of going supernova over some of the dumbest shit. If you think I nuked you from orbit here, well that is cute.

By the way, what are Pelosi's and Feinstein's handles here? I'd like to say hi to Pelosi and see what Dianne's posting style was before her death.

Rope to hang myself? Go get therapy. So you get decide who gets to go nuclear and whether it is for dumb shit. Your arrogance is only passed by your arrogance
