Breaking that promise is a good thing, and I expect he will distance himself form some of his more toxic comments - also a good thing.

Then not only is he breaking a promise that presumably got him votes from many of his supporters, but he's doing so after he's made the victims of that promise feel terrorized. And on top of that he's proving himself untrustworthy (which I thought was one of the biggest complaints against Hillary.) Way to go, Donald. Three-way epic failure right off the bat.

But does that mean we should also lock up Hillary?

Ass-kisser in chief Rudy Giuliani is already turning to healing: "the former New York City mayor and a high-profile Trump supporter, said the demonstrators were 'a bunch of spoiled cry-babies.'" I feel so unified. So healed. So surprised.

Don't throw your toys out of the cot because your side of politics lost the election and now won't respect democracy.  You know it makes sense!!  This is one and the same group which disrupted the Trump rallies with violence and intimidation; it's such a Left thing to do!!

Hah!

I'M BAAACK!!!

Conveniently, the electric company snapped our cable the other day, leaving the snyprrrOranizationalFront out in the cold for all the festivities. When I turned on the old TV yesterday and saw Trump45, it was truly a surreal moment.

Being as I live in 'New Denmark', any vote other than the StatePrescribedDemocraticPosition was going to be of none effect, so, my Write-In assures me of the street-cred I need to continue the conversation going forward. Thank me later.

I have not scoured the reactions, BUT, the videos of SnowflakesCrying are truly delicious. It also seems obvious that it is the Leftists who are the DeplorableThugs- apparently there's still a little money left over in the Soros fund- what? is Seattle "New Moskva"????

Being as I LOOK like a Trumpster, I am going out to buy me the most badass machete, and I'm going to start taking "what to do if surrounded by a group" classes, just oh dear God- let me have my coffee before we start ranting, forgive me, lol

Karl, I imagine Depends stock has shot through the roof- you're in that blue blob, aren't you? What's the vibe at the grocery store? Sorry, I'm late to the party and I need guidance to catch up and get my allotted fill of lulz.

I DESERVE MY LULZ!! $:)

Coincidence??!!

Welcome back.  Have you met Attorney General Chris Christie?  Secretary of State Newt Gingrich?  Reichsminister Ann Coulter?

That is such an inane generalization it doesn't bear refutation: Leftie, Rightie, there are assholes on both sides of the fence. That sort of argument carries little weight.

If people are upset now, maybe it is because of the accumulated mass of vituperation that has been heaped on them for the last year and a half. If you aren't a straight white person, you have every right to feel some trepidation over what may be coming your way soon.

I know, the minorities deserve it for being minorities, but still, you can't expect them to sit down and take it quietly.

Not when their scriptures clearly say kill the unbeliever.

Numbers Chapter 31. Deuteronomy Chapters 13 and 17. I'm struggling to find the bits that prove this is all particular time and place and contextual whereas the Quran text is absolute and for all time.
Every single post on the forum is unnecessary. Including the ones that are interesting or useful.

If you were presented with a bowl of 500 candies and were told that only two have poison, would you eat any of them?

If you were presented with 500 Americans and were told that two of them were carrying concealed weapons, would you turf them all out? I know I would.

This is a guy who has posted here 12 times, 10 on this thread, and is as practiced at sneering at liberals as he claims liberals are towards his side.

I just heard an interview with the rep from the 12th in Michigan, where Dearborn is the largest Muslim community in the US. And she says her constituents are terrified. Poor little snowflakes indeed.

It has an 'ignore' button. I can't give you instructions because I don't get one. However, I'm told they are very popular.

Yes, I recognize the symptoms, I have seen them displayed by all comers on the comment threads that news sites foolishly set up. We'll see...

hmm...I'm not seeing it. But then ignore functions only work if the trolls are widely ignored - if I'm still going to read their comments in quotes, and they dictate the direction of the discussion then there's no point. And usually, if they're persistant, the'll be some nonsense that demands a rebuttal from even the most patient members.

I highly recommend it. I have something like 10-11 people on the list last I checked although I'm thinking of adding more.

It does not hide quotes but for me, at this point, those are easier to skip over.

Not sure, but I think you go to their profile and it is an option there. Perhaps someone who has it can advise in a PM.... it may even blank out quotes, I don't know. :-\

I would never think of using it. How could I resist reading the collected effluvia of snyprrr?

Thanks for that.
