Well, you&#039;ve got quite the imagination there, but as I&#039;ve said to you on many occasions, please stop projecting your fantasy onto my reality. It&#039;s quite informative that you consider what you do on this board as &quot;kick their asses,&quot; but do you seriously think that hijacking posts on a regular basis, trolling constructive comments with pointless antagonism, and disrupting the flow of dialogue between other posters actually constitutes political debate? 

Some of us are never going to be a worshiper of Benedict Donald [my term] and live happily deluded on the far-right fringe of &quot;alternative facts,&quot; and none of your trumped up myths or authoritarian propaganda are going to change that fact. The majority of Americans are smart enough not to give Donald Trump too much credit because he&#039;ll file for bankruptcy and we&#039;ll go broke.

&lt;i&gt;The fact is, you ain&#039;t got shit and we both know it.. If you had, you would have already released it...  &lt;/i&gt;

Incorrect. I guess a little projection can go quite a long way, but you&#039;d be wrong to assume that I&#039;m just like you. 

The &lt;b&gt;fact&lt;/b&gt; is, anyone claiming to &quot;know&quot; what I know is simply deluding themselves. As a matter of &lt;b&gt;fact&lt;/b&gt;, very few people actually know what I will or will not do.

It was ever so thoughtful of you to post illustrations of your brand of &quot;debate&quot; in your comment to me and your comment to JL... your twisting of words, use of fabrication, insults, innuendo, and expletives. 

&lt;i&gt;So, bite me, bitch... Release what you have or just shut the fuck up.. &lt;/i&gt;

You seem to be under the misguided impression that I&#039;d follow orders, and now you&#039;ve gone and exposed the very worst of your ideological shortcomings. While yours is the fantasy of the gullible Trumpbot, writ large, full of populist rhetoric, class animus, turbocharged with allegiance, marching in lockstep to the fascist Cheeto, try to remember that this is still America, where freedom is earned, knowledge is power, and it takes a special kind of imbecile to believe that facts aren&#039;t facts when they don&#039;t fit his worldview.

p.s. &quot;He who represents himself has an fool for a client.&quot;</description>

		<description>JL,

You have my sincerest apologies.. You did a helluva job bringing me and MHorton together and I know you are disappointed in my response to Kick..

But I&#039;ll be damned if I&#039;ll let some insecure little stalker twit try and extort and control me into &quot;behaving&quot;..

Put another way... If Kick had demanded money from me or else she would release personal and private information instead of demanding behavioral change, she would be on her way to jail right now for extortion...

The ONLY way to deal with people like that is to bitch slap them down hard and make clear in no uncertain terms that they are NOT in charge...

Now that I have done so, NOW I am willing to let it go...

Again, you have my sincerest apologies...

I was going to do this in email, but I couldn&#039;t find your email address..  If you want to take it to email, I am sure you have mine...</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;ok, it read like a threat&lt;/I&gt;

Yes it did.  And irregardless of that threat, I will remain on my &quot;high horse&quot; whenever I deem necessary and probably a lot more now than I would have before the threat...

&lt;I&gt; and them is that I saw your information posted and had some friends in high places do a little research for me to find out the answer. &lt;/I&gt;

Which is EXACTLY what stalkers and trolls do.  Pay or get people to find out information about other people that kick their asses in debates and discussions...

The fact is, you ain&#039;t got shit and we both know it.. If you had, you would have already released it...

So, bite me, bitch...  Release what you have or just shut the fuck up..

NOW it&#039;s done and done...</description>

I could not agree with you more. Done and done.</description>

&lt;i&gt;Trying to keep the current commentary clean, so I&#039;ll post in this one...

The mark of a troll and definitely a reason for a ban... &lt;/i&gt;

You want me banned now, and you&#039;re right back at it with the personal attacks here? Well surprise... NOT surprised.

&lt;i&gt;Everyone in this forum knows already knows EXACTLY who I am.. I have no secrets. People here probably know more about me than they WANT to know. &lt;/i&gt;

No, they don&#039;t. 
 
&lt;i&gt;Yer threats of exposure hold no fear for me whatsoever. &lt;/i&gt;

This post of yours threatening to have me banned is the evidence of that, right? If I had wanted to expose you, you&#039;d have already been exposed months ago. You&#039;ve had days to stop the personal attacks, yet it&#039;s you who insists on the personal attacks towards me, Horton, Paula, and posts that insult the entire group for not posting to suit you. 

&lt;i&gt;You can&#039;t best me in a debate so you have to research my life 20 years into the past to try and find dirt that you can hold over me and try to keep me silent.. 

What kind of sick, twisted and pathetic lost soul does that?? &lt;/i&gt;

&quot;Best&quot; you in &quot;debate&quot;? Okay, what you do is not exactly debate. You don&#039;t debate people. Me or someone/anyone else can post something to someone else, you hijack it, you call names and troll, put words in others&#039; mouths they didn&#039;t say, lump them into categories/labels, and either demonize them or dismiss them... lather, rinse, repeat. 

Wherever did you get the idea that I wanted to silence you? Have I threatened to have you banned? You&#039;re actually the one around here who disrupts the flow of dialogue and silences debate.

I&#039;m not sure what part of what I posted in the following topic was at all unclear, but as I said, I would not waste my time to research you. I got friends in high places who did that for me months ago. 

&lt;i&gt;Well, we have our answer...

If you keep up with the threats and extortion, I can guarantee you won&#039;t like where it ends... &lt;/i&gt;

Is that a threat? You want me banned now? LOL

Please reread your handiwork you&#039;ve posted over the subsequent topic, this topic, and the following topic, and just listen to yourself and do some soul searching. Who is the one hurling personal insults toward other posters and the group? 

Like Horton says, people on this forum have endured you for years, wondering and discussing for years whether or not you are a troll, and the only difference between me and them is that I saw your information posted and had some friends in high places do a little research for me to find out the answer. I really do have a lot of pity for you, and for that fact you had best be glad and let it go.</description>

Trying to keep the current commentary clean, so I&#039;ll post in this one...

&lt;I&gt;Wow... &quot;threats or extortion.&quot; Seriously? I genuinely feel sorry for you, and that&#039;s what you decide to post? When did anyone either threaten or try to extort you? :)

This kind of word twisting is illustrative of the problem. All I said was that you can stop worrying about being stalked because I wouldn&#039;t waste my time that way.&lt;/I&gt;

No, you said PLENTY more...

&lt;B&gt;It would serve you well to keep in mind that a commenter on this board knows exactly who you are and can keep you honest when you decide to get all up on your high horse... I know you know what I&#039;m talking about...&lt;/B&gt;

That is a textbook definition of extortion..

		<description>@MH,

allow me to rephrase; you&#039;re fighting a zippo with a flamethrower. and because we don&#039;t respond to silliness with even more silliness, a full-fledged flame war becomes my fault? Liz&#039;s fault? CW&#039;s fault? everyone gets a certain amount of leeway from a community, and the more positives they contribute the more leeway they get. that&#039;s the reality - like it or don&#039;t.

		<description>And your &quot;fire with fire&quot; analogy is my whole point. 

You&#039;re complaining to me about fighting fire with fire; why don&#039;t you try and nip the original fire in the bud? 

I say there should be no fire; but if there&#039;s going to be a fire, it might as well be a big one.</description>

I mind taking what people say out of context and then using it to attack their character. 

What makes him a troll are things like outright lying, accusing people of having motivations they have never expressed, asking a question, answering it for me, and then attacking me over the answer. 

I&#039;m a Republican; I disagree with quite a few things CW and the commentors here believe. I&#039;m not opposed to different view points, or talking points. 

I&#039;m opposed to outright lies and character assaults.</description>

		<description>@MH,

give it a rest already? michale has done a lot more for this site than just support it financially. He even wore a &quot;Hillary is My Hero&quot; t-shirt and sent in a photograph of himself wearing it when comey chose not to indict. yes, along with the fun and games we get exposure to righty talking points, and an occasional inability to notice or accept his own factual errors. if you think that makes michale a troll, you have the right to that opinion. but, to be frank, intentionally fighting fire with fire just burns the rest of us.

YOU accuse them of things

		<description>I&#039;m not imagining it. 

I proved in this thread that he&#039;s lying. 

He asked a question, answered it for me, then attacked the answer. 

THEN HE SAYS HE JUST WANTED TO UNDERSTAND MY THINKING? 

He&#039;s a liar.</description>

		<description>It just occurred to me..  

I was taking apart an old model 50&quot; plasma..... Did I ever mention how much I hate working on older plasmas?? 

Anyways, it just hit me...

You are President HW Bush.. I am Israel.. And Horton is Iraq...

Bush had asked Israel to refrain from responding to Iraq missile attacks.  Bush assured Israel that the US would handle Iraq and damage to Israel would be minimal..

Israel acquiesced and a wholesale major decimation of the Iraqi people and culture and possibly the entire Middle East was averted...

Now, what do you think would have happened if Bush hadn&#039;t followed thru and defended Israel???

Israel would have unleashed a hell on earth the likes of which this planet has never seen...

Interesting parallels, eh?   :D</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;when a weignoob gets it in his head that you&#039;re a right-wing gamorrean, remember that those creatures do exist in nature, and your brand of commentary can at times be tough to distinguish from theirs by the untrained eye.&lt;/I&gt;

Fair enough..  

I will keep that in mind for future reference...

		<description>&lt;I&gt;i do believe you&#039;re mixing up your mythology. perhaps you were referring to the knights templar. the knights of the round table were hanging waaaaaay back in camelot, which we&#039;re told was somewhere significantly to the north of ancient israel.&lt;/I&gt;

I go by what was in the movie.  :D

I do believe that the Knight guarding the Holy Grail was identified as a KOTRT....  I could be wrong, it&#039;s been a while since I watched it... 

But it WAS the finest of all the Indiana Jones movies  :D

&lt;I&gt;that won&#039;t stop a few of us from making some very sincere suggestions &lt;/I&gt;

And I welcome such sincere suggestions and might even listen to them..  :D

&lt;B&gt;Michale is a lying, slandering troll, who uses his money to purchase a place to troll people because he&#039;s been kicked out of every comment section an actual company who can&#039;t be bribed controls.&lt;/B&gt;

But crap like that???  

Nu uh... Ain&#039;t gonna happen..  :D

&lt;I&gt;so be a bigger man, show some forbearance, and save the rest of us the eighty straight posts of junior high school flame-war.&lt;/I&gt;

I tried that when Neil ask me to wear the big boy pants.  Did it work?? Did anyone else step up and try talking this guy down??

Nope..  So I had to step back into the fray...

I am more than willing to let these rants go unanswered by me as long as they are answered by SOMEONE...

But to let such obvious bullcarp go unchallenged???

That&#039;s like me asking ya&#039;all not to challenge ANY pro-President Trump  I may make.  :D

I don&#039;t expect ya&#039;all to do that and it&#039;s unfair to expect me to do that...

Having said all that, we have a new commentary..  Let&#039;s see if this can avoid de-volving into a &quot;junior high school flame war&quot;...    

I&#039;ve done my part to avoid it..  Let&#039;s see if others can do their part... If it starts up again, it won&#039;t be me who starts it..   I will show... &quot;forbearance&quot;... to any initial attacks, if it comes to that...  I&#039;ll give ya&#039;all a chance to deal with it...

That is all I can promise..

I have done my part by making nice with Altohone and, for the most part, ignoring JFC...

How many times do *I* have to be the adult before someone sits up and says, &lt;B&gt;&quot;Hmmmmmm... Maybe Michale *ISN&#039;T* the problem....&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

I&#039;m just sayin&#039;....</description>

		<description>Horton,

&lt;I&gt;Thicker skin? MY WHOLE POINT is that you shouldn&#039;t require a &quot;thick skin&quot; to have a civil conversation. &lt;/I&gt;

A &quot;civil&quot; conversation??

About politics!?  :D  

Shirley, you jest...  :D

&lt;I&gt;Tell you what, why don&#039;t you just stop commenting for a week, and we&#039;ll compare the comment sections from that week to a last week, and we&#039;ll look at the differences in tone and commentary.&lt;/I&gt;

I have done that on several occasions..

I gave everyone a break during the Democrat Convention.. It was downright boring around here..

One time, I was gone for several months..  Everyone welcomed me back, even my most strident opponents, people that made you look downright pleasant by comparison...  

And WHY did Weigantians welcome me back??  Well, you would have to ask them, but the fact is that this place, without someone to promote opposing view points, devolves into nothing but a &quot;YEP&quot;/&quot;DITTO&quot; echo chamber with virtually no disagreements to be found..

What fun is that???

Look, this can go one of two ways...

&lt;B&gt;&quot;Oooooo  Is one of them the Easy Way&quot;
&quot;No...&quot;
&quot;Oh......&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-AGENTS OF SHIELD 

:D

I am not going anywhere..  If my brand of political discussion causes you pain, then you have my sincerest apologies..

But I comment how I comment and nothing you can do or say will change that..

So, yer only choices are to filter me, ignore me, leave or suck it up...  

It&#039;s really THAT simple...

Now you do have another option and that is to continue your unwarranted personal attacks and basically make this forum miserable...

I sincerely hope you do not choose this road because you will not like where it leads you...

The choice is yours, my friend..

&lt;B&gt;&quot;Choose wisely&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Knight Of The Round Table, INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE</description>

		<description>@Kick OH MAN I can&#039;t believe I forgot about the Roger Stone - Manafort connection. 

There&#039;s so many links to so many questionable people it&#039;s hard to keep it all straight. 

And Stone has been deeply involved; I suspect he&#039;s the one feeding the &quot;3 million illegals voted&quot; narrative to 45. That whole &quot;voter id&quot; program he set up was super shady and questionably legal.</description>

&lt;i&gt;One thing about Manafort that nobody asks: how did he and Trump connect? &lt;/i&gt;

Going way back to the &#039;70s when Trump was being sued by the United States for housing discrimination and represented by Roy Cohn, who from that time forward became Trump&#039;s mentor and the two of them connected at the hip, it was Roy Cohn who introduced Trump to Paul Manafort and Roger Stone, who at that time were also connected at the hip.</description>

		<description>Thicker skin? MY WHOLE POINT is that you shouldn&#039;t require a &quot;thick skin&quot; to have a civil conversation. The only reason people need a thick skin here is because you&#039;re allowed to troll and insult people freely. 

Tell you what, why don&#039;t you just stop commenting for a week, and we&#039;ll compare the comment sections from that week to a last week, and we&#039;ll look at the differences in tone and commentary. 

What do you say?</description>

		<description>&quot;Any facts to support that??

Of course not.. Ya only yell and scream for facts from others..

You NEVER have any facts to support your claims..&quot; 

That is you asking for my thought process? 

No, it&#039;s an attack on my character, identical to the one you just tried to use. You accused me of being a hypocrite; of demanding of you something I wasn&#039;t prepared to give. 

It&#039;s telling that you didn&#039;t even wait for me to answer; you answered the question for me, then attacked my answer. 

You do realize that you can use reasoning, not just &quot;facts&quot; to draw conclusions? 

&quot;There&#039;s a Klingon ship orbiting Earth&quot; 

&quot;Why would you think that?&quot; 

&quot;Well, there are a number of circumstantial things that imply it&quot; 

&quot;Well, being as a Klingon ship orbiting Earth is incredibly unlikely, you would need some strong evidence.&quot; 

That&#039;s how that conversation goes. 

&quot;I think it&#039;s going to rain tomorrow.&quot; 

&quot;Why?&quot; 

&quot;Well, usually when the wind blows like this, and the clouds turn that color, it rains.&quot; 

&quot;Huh, I guess we&#039;ll see.&quot; 

That&#039;s something more similar to the conversation I was having. 

I know you&#039;re not dumb, and that&#039;s why I know you&#039;re a troll. 

Because the only way you could miscontrue what I&#039;m saying so badly is if it&#039;s on purpose, or if you&#039;re an idiot. 

And I don&#039;t think you&#039;re an idiot.</description>

I have been doing this for going on 12 years right here in this very place...   

If you hope to last half that long, chill out and chin up... :D

That&#039;s all for me..  It&#039;s time to spend time with my lovely wife....  

Toodles...  :D</description>

		<description>@Listen; Manafort was put in contact with Trump via the RNC, because he has heavy ties to a bunch of them. He was seen as a &quot;steady hand&quot; after Lewdonowski (sp) hoping to get Trump on a more traditional campaign. 

And yes, the fact that the only change 45&#039;s campaign requested was loosening of language pertaining to Russia was clearly Manafort&#039;s influence; it was reported on as such at the time, if I recall. 

I don&#039;t get how anyone in the RNC would have anything to do with Manafort after his 2nd client was overthrown in a popular revolt, but from the reporting at the time, that&#039;s what I was led to believe.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;And you didn&#039;t &quot;challenge&quot; them, you attacked my character, by saying I &quot;never have facts&quot;&lt;/I&gt;

If you want to view that as an attack, that&#039;s yer prerogative..

But it&#039;s EXACTLY what you said to me first..  So, you admit that you attack me..

Personally I don&#039;t view it as an attack, but yer welcome to...

&lt;I&gt;Why don&#039;t you instead talk about why you disagree with what I said? &lt;/I&gt;

Because I don&#039;t necessarily disagree with it..  I wanted to know how you came to that guess..  What your thought process was...

If you came to that guess because you had a dream and in your dream your fairy godmother gave you the basis for that guess, then I would judge your guess accordingly..

If you actually had FACTS to support your guess then I would view it in a DIFFERENT light..

Let me give you an example..

&lt;B&gt;I guess that there are Klingon ships orbiting earth right now&lt;/B&gt;

Now, someone would ask me, &quot;What facts do you have to support this guess?&quot;  and I would respond:

&lt;B&gt;I read it on the Internet so it HAS to be true&lt;/B&gt;

You see the point, my friend???

If you don&#039;t want your statements challenged then you are DEFINITELY in the wrong place..  If you want just a dull and dreary Echo Chamber where the ONLY words you see are &quot;YEP&quot; and &quot;DITTO&quot; try HuffPoop... It&#039;s ALL about that...

Again, just trying to be helpful here...  :D</description>

		<description>When have I demanded for you to require facts for everything you say? 

Another lie. 

I&#039;m not attacking anyone who disagrees with me. Again, I&#039;m attacking YOU. 

And we weren&#039;t have a nice chat. There is no nice chat. You&#039;re a troll, and just because you turn it off to play nice for a little while doesn&#039;t hcange things. I&#039;ve watched you for years. 

If you read the comments, by the way, I literally asked Liz why she would say that, and then said I didn&#039;t understand; but the ONLY WAY to interpret her claims were as insulting. How else could she have meant it? 

And, by the way, I laid out why I called you a liar and a troll in that last comment. Because you ignored a previous comment to purposefully miscontrue what I said. 

The only other possible option is that you&#039;re too dumb to read all the comments before responding. 

Which is it?</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Suppositions do not require facts. I laid out my reasoning, and there are no facts to be had, either for or against my supposition, beyond the ones I mentioned.&lt;/I&gt;

Ahhhhh  So you want ME to provide FACTS for everything I say, but YOU don&#039;t have to provide ANY facts..

I see...

I&#039;ll have to disagree..  If you have no facts to support your suppositions, your guesses or the hairs standing on the back of your neck, the said supps, guesses and hairs are meaningless and will be regarded as such..

&lt;I&gt;I literally said being called a girl isn&#039;t insulting, but it was clear Liz was TRYING TO BE insulting.

How did you miss the entire post before the one you responded to? You didn&#039;t. You chose to respond to the one, ignoring the other.&lt;/I&gt;

So, first of all, you are in Liz&#039;s head and you know what her inner most thoughts are...

Then you jump into MY head and know what MY inner most thoughts are...

I can see why you are having problems here..  :D

&lt;I&gt;Because you&#039;re a liar, a slanderer, and a troll.&lt;/I&gt;

See??  Up until this point, we were having a nice chat, a decent conversation with a true and meaningful exchange of thoughts and ideas..

Then YOU had to go and spoil it by reverting to your Troll nature....

You aren&#039;t going to last very long here if you attack anyone who disagrees with you or asks you to support your guesses and suppositions...

I&#039;m just sayin&#039;....  :D</description>

		<description>All you had to do was not reply to me at all, or not be insulting when you did. 

But you couldn&#039;t do that. 

So you don&#039;t get to play the victim today.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m attacking you. And you attack people, whether you admit it or not. 

You&#039;re a troll. You admitted to being a troll. You laughed about making people mad on this website. 

You said you had a ton of fun trolling those old forums. 

I&#039;m trolling YOU. 

But again, if you wanted to end it, why did you come on at 0215 and start attacking my character, when I hadn&#039;t said anything about you at all?</description>

		<description>And you didn&#039;t &quot;challenge&quot; them, you attacked my character, by saying I &quot;never have facts&quot; 

Why don&#039;t you instead talk about why you disagree with what I said? You don&#039;t even disagree with what I said, probably, because there&#039;s nothing to suggest that Manafort has any influence over 45. And that was my supposition; that Manafort never had much direct influence over him, and that any payments or rental agreements were part of a payment package for Manafort negotiated when he signed on. 

Which all makes perfect sense; but I don&#039;t have access to his payment agreements, so there are no facts to be had. 

If you have reasons to disagree with this assessment, you should have responded with them. 

Instead, you demanded facts I never said or implied existed, and then said I &quot;never&quot; have facts. 

You wanted to start a fight, so here we are.</description>

		<description>MHorton,

Allow me to give you some more (free) advice..

YOU: YOU&#039;RE AN ASSHOLE
ME: You are acting like an asshole

YOU: YOU&#039;RE A LIAR
ME:  You are telling lies

YOU: YOU&#039;RE AN ARROGANT PRICK*
ME: You are acting like an arrogant prick

You see where I am going with this??

You attack people..

I attack messages and actions..  By and large, I attack the message, not the messenger.. I attack the comment, not the commenter..  I readily admit that I slip now and again...  I make an extreme and sincere effort NOT to, but I am not perfect...

Of course, that changes drastically once first blood is drawn.  When I am personally attacked or any of my friends are personally attacked (as you have done) I respond in kind...

So, it&#039;s YOUR choice how you want to spend your time here...

*That is a true and valid accusation..  :D

&lt;B&gt;&quot;Of course I&#039;m arrogant!! I&#039;ve EARNED it.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Q

:D</description>

One thing about Manafort that nobody asks:  how did he and Trump connect?

Manafort had just been working for the Russian backed President of the Ukraine&#039;s campaign team prior to his being forced out of the country.  Manafort was instrumental in getting a treaty allowing Russian oil pipelines to run through the Ukraine during his time there.  Then the people forced the president to flee, which would have put the oil treaty in danger of falling apart.  That&#039;s when Putin sent troops in to the Ukraine and took over the Crimean Port.   It wasn&#039;t until all of this was playing out that Manafort started working for Trump.

Is it just a random coincidence that the only input Trump&#039;s people were concerned with regarding the GOP&#039;s platform was to change the party&#039;s position on how to respond to Russian aggressions in the Ukraine?   It went from calling on the U.S. to provide the Ukraine &quot;lethal defensive weapons&quot; to the more benign phrase &quot;appropriate assistance.&quot;  

Fast forward to Exxon&#039;s CEO deciding that he wants a government salary and being named as Trump&#039;s pick for Secretary of State -- the position that will have the biggest influence on our country&#039;s decision as to whether to maintain sanctions against Russia.  You remember those sanctions -- the one&#039;s that put a stop to Exxon&#039;s contract to start pumping oil out of Russia -- you know, the one worth over 3 trillion dollars??!!  If you don&#039;t think that Putin personally awarding Tillerson with Russia&#039;s Order of Friendship medal in 2013, the highest honor bestowed on foreign citizens, had anything to do with his being Trump&#039;s choice for Sec. of State, I got some lovely beachfront property in Montana that you might be interested in</description>

		<description>Suppositions do not require facts. I laid out my reasoning, and there are no facts to be had, either for or against my supposition, beyond the ones I mentioned. 

I literally said being called a girl isn&#039;t insulting, but it was clear Liz was TRYING TO BE insulting. 

How did you miss the entire post before the one you responded to? You didn&#039;t. You chose to respond to the one, ignoring the other. 

Because you&#039;re a liar, a slanderer, and a troll.</description>

End of story. I will respond to insults by calling you a troll.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;So, you don&#039;t have time to non-serious comments, but you&#039;re going to try and insult me by calling me a girl over non-serious comments?&lt;/I&gt;

Why, exactly, is being called a girl, insulting??

Is there something insulting about being a girl??

&lt;B&gt;&quot;No wonder you&#039;re single&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

		<description>&lt;I&gt;When you shut up, I make good posts.&lt;/I&gt;

And when you don&#039;t attack me, you won&#039;t get yer feelings hurt...

&lt;I&gt;Liz, I haven&#039;t found it best.

I either have to leave, or confront him.

I&#039;m tired of it. He gets to freely troll people, and it&#039;s time someone fought back.

Nothing on this thread had anything to do with you until you commented on it.&lt;/I&gt;

And if you attack my friends, you DEFINITELY will piss me off and I will respond quite forcefully...

&lt;I&gt;You&#039;re a troll.&lt;/I&gt;

Says the guy who is an ADMITTED troll...

&lt;I&gt;You see how that is &lt;/I&gt;

Yes I do.. You made some claims.. With absolutely NO rancor other than a bit of sarcasm (and a whole lot nicer than you demand things of me) I asked you to back up your assertions and your guesses with facts..

Next thing anyone knows, yer back to trolling me and attacking me...

Here is some free advice from me to you..

If you don&#039;t like having your &quot;guesses&quot; and your assertions challenged, yer probably better off not being here....</description>

		<description>So, you don&#039;t have time to non-serious comments, but you&#039;re going to try and insult me by calling me a girl over non-serious comments? 

You haven&#039;t explained how I am the problem here, when I posted thoughtful responses all night, until I was attacked. 

Explain how come one person gets to insult you for years, but me speaking out about it is over the line?</description>

		<description>So you&#039;re calling me a girl? Is that supposed to be an insult? 

I mean, I&#039;m a man, but it&#039;s not an insult to call me a girl. 

I don&#039;t get the point.</description>

		<description>Liz, why aren&#039;t you telling him to leave? Read this thread. There was not a single hateful or accusatory statement made until he showed up.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;He gets to insult people, why can&#039;t I?&lt;/I&gt;

Seriously?

Yes, your comments sound like a girl ... and, a little girl at that. With all due apologies to little girls. :)</description>

		<description>I&#039;m definitely not going to leave after he starts acting like I&#039;m the one who started the trolling. 

He sits here and insults you people for years, and you take it. 

I point out truths about him for 2 days and I have to leave?</description>

		<description>&quot;And she&#039;s dumb. You don&#039;t ACTUALLY SAY THE WORDS ALTERNATIVE FACTS.

Yea, you just live by them, like the entirety of the Left Wingery.. :^/

So I&#039;m hoping we have another Teddy coming up, indignant of the lies and corruption, and building up both a righteous hatred for them and the political muscle he&#039;s going to need.

Or you hope that President Trump dies or is assassinated... :D

But I&#039;d bet after he was pushed out, Trump didn&#039;t listen to him, as he didn&#039;t seem to listen much when Manafort was officially running things.

Any facts to support that??

Of course not.. Ya only yell and scream for facts from others..

You NEVER have any facts to support your claims..

[ Permalink ]   [ Wednesday, February 15th, 2017 at 02:16 PST ]&quot;

You see how that is 7 hours before I called you a troll? 

I called you a troll this morning because you logged in after I went to bed, and began insulting me on a thread that I had said nothing about you, only put out opinions and thoughts. 

0200 is before 0900. 

You&#039;re a liar, a slanderer, and a troll.</description>

		<description>&quot;If you want to troll, then you will have to expect that there are those who will oppose your trolling...&quot; 

That... is literally what I said to you yesterday. 

Are you dumb, or do you just think we&#039;re that dumb, that nobody will notice that?</description>

		<description>The proof that I want in depth conversatoin is in the posts I made last night. 

When you shut up, I make good posts. 

If you wouldn&#039;t have mentioned me in posts today, I wouldn&#039;t have said anything. 

I didn&#039;t say ANYTHING on this thread until you insulted me. 

You&#039;re a troll. 

Also, who are these &#039;half dozen&quot; who have asked me to stop? I can think of 2. And EVERYONE has asked you to stop before. Hell, the only reason I even started commenting the other day was because more than one person called you out on your trolling, and I spoke up to support them. 

You&#039;re a lair, a slanderer, and a troll.</description>

When...... the logs make it clear that I didn&#039;t.</description>

		<description>Liz, I haven&#039;t found it best. 

I either have to leave, or confront him. 

I&#039;m tired of it. He gets to freely troll people, and it&#039;s time someone fought back. 

Nothing on this thread had anything to do with you until you commented on it. 

you insulted me before I said anything at 0900. You&#039;re a liar, and you know it. 

Michale is a lying, slandering troll.</description>

		<description>Mr. Horton,

You may find that it is best to ignore the things that frustrate you, thus avoiding endlessly tapping out tedious comments.

Let&#039;s try to keep the comments section about issues and not personalities.</description>

&lt;i&gt;European governments know more about what is going on in the executive branch than any elected American official.&lt;/i&gt;

The sad thing is that our government is putting its fingers in its ears and shouting la-la-la to ensure they can put Party ahead of Country.

		<description>Brexit Update - The Stupidity Magnifies - Part 2

The Leave campaign never really expected to win (sound familiar) so they didn&#039;t do their homework on the obligations involved. It turns out that there are some very large unfunded pension plans for EU bureaucrats that the Brits will need to pay into before they leave. The kicker is the average pension for the bureaucrats involved is twice the median household income of the U.K.

To say this isn&#039;t going down well is an understatement.

This is what happens when you let the clown car near the levers of power.

		<description>Brexit Update - The Stupidity Magnifies - Part 1

A couple of news items just compounded the sheer stupidity and horror of 2016 across the pond (we are dealing with our own 2016 voting mistakes at the moment, so some of you may have missed these).

#1 - The Big Promise

One of the most compelling promises that the clowns like Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson made during the Brexit campaign was the 350M pounds/week fee to the EU was going to go to the NHS (single payer healthcare system much loved by the Brits) instead. They even had a double-decker red London bus painted up with their promise.

So an opposition MP forced them to put their money where their mouth was and introduced a bill to increase the spending to the NHS appropriately.

The Tory government (most of whom were big &quot;Leave&quot; supporters) promptly voted against the bill.

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Trump would lose all legitimacy as president were he to admit that anything of this sort transpired. There are some deeds that cannot be acknowledged. Expecting Trump and his lieutenants to confess that his campaign or business associates were networking with the Kremlin or Russian intelligence is not realistic—especially after their months of denial. (Trump also for months refused to accept the US intelligence assessment that Russia was behind the hacking and leaking aimed at Democratic targets, and when he finally bent on this point, he downplayed Moscow&#039;s meddling in the election.) Trump cannot continue to present himself as the triumphant winner of a fair election if it turns out his own people were palling around with Moscow.&lt;/I&gt;

If you replace TRUMP with OBAMA, the entire paragraph STILL works and is STILL valid..  :D

Paula, I know this really REALLY bothers you, but President Trump is the freely, fairly and legitimate President of the United States.  And the way his popularity is rising, he likely will be for the next 8 years....

President Trump is YOUR president...

These are the facts whether you want to admit them or not..</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;I said openly yesterday I was going to troll you. I never denied that I&#039;m trolling you.&lt;/I&gt;

SO, you admit that you are a troll..

OK, great..  We got that..  :D

&lt;I&gt;Why can&#039;t you answer my questions?&lt;/I&gt;

You aren&#039;t asking any valid questions.  By your own admission, you are trolling...

&lt;I&gt;The volume and content of my comments while you were away speak for themselves; I want to have in depth, thoughtful discussions.&lt;/I&gt;

And yet, you admit you are a troll...

If you want to have in depth and thoughtful discussions like me and countless others have had here, then quit with the trolling and the name calling and the personal attacks..

It&#039;s really THAT simple...

&lt;I&gt;as NOTHING I SAID ON THIS THREAD HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU TROLL.&lt;/I&gt;

I have already proved this lie to be a lie...

You attacked me at 0939hrs PST and again and 0948hrs PST..  These are facts...

If you want to have in depth and thoughtful discussions, then have them..

If you want to troll, then you will have to expect that there are those who will oppose your trolling...  You have been asked to stop by at LEAST a half dozen people already...

Until you quit trolling, you have no moral or ethical leg to stand on in your endeavor to convince ANYONE that all you want is in depth and thoughtful discussions..

I am here to stay, little buddy...  You are only making things worse for yourself here....</description>

		<description>I said openly yesterday I was going to troll you. I never denied that I&#039;m trolling you. 

Why can&#039;t you answer my questions? 

Oh right, because you&#039;re a lying, slandering troll. 

Again, how can you use statements I made IN RESPONSE TO YOUR COMMENTS THIS MORNING, as proof I attacked you last night after you left? 

The volume and content of my comments while you were away speak for themselves; I want to have in depth, thoughtful discussions. 

Again, if you really wanted to end it, like you said, you could have just not attacked me on this thread today, as NOTHING I SAID ON THIS THREAD HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU TROLL.</description>

		<description>From Newsweek: http://www.newsweek.com/allies-intercept-russia-trump-adviser-communications-557283

&lt;em&gt;These operations reflect a serious breakdown in the long-standing faith in the direction of American policy by some of the country’s most important allies. Worse, the United States is now in a situation that may be unprecedented—where European governments know more about what is going on in the executive branch than any elected American official. To date, the Republican-controlled Congress has declined to conduct hearings to investigate the links between Trump’s overseas business partners and foreign governments, or the activities between Russia and officials in the Trump campaign and administration—the very areas being examined by the intelligence services of at least two American allies.&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>&quot;But I&#039;d bet after he was pushed out, Trump didn&#039;t listen to him, as he didn&#039;t seem to listen much when Manafort was officially running things.

Any facts to support that??

Of course not.. Ya only yell and scream for facts from others..

You NEVER have any facts to support your claims..&quot;

		<description>The comment wasn&#039;t at you, and it wasn&#039;t insulting. But that was 7pm. Then you quit. 

I made a dozen or so posts after that, never mentioning you, completely calm and about policies and predictions. 

It&#039;s YOU that is the problem. For the 12 hours you were gone, there was no animosity, insults, gloating or attacks on these comments. 

And we even disagree on stuff!</description>

		<description>Nothing on this thread mentioned you in anyway. SO why did you respond by insulting me? 

You&#039;re a troll, a liar, and a slanderer. Leave, Troll. 

You have no friends for me to attack.</description>

And the road turd CONTINUES to lie...

&lt;B&gt;Oh, I know who he is too.

Just adding it to the record so that others who read this can see how easy it is. Maybe they will Google it themselves.

Which was 1917 hrs, my time..  That&#039;s 7:17pm for this pissant faux-&quot;marine&quot;....  I was enjoying a nice Valentine Day dinner with my lovely wife and her sister and you were here being a pissant little troll....

&lt;I&gt;Then today, here comes Michale with dozens of attacks.&lt;/I&gt;

Just answering your attacks, Troll...

You want it stopped, you have the power to stop it...

Until that time happens, I&#039;ll handle you like I handle all trolls...  

&lt;I&gt;And yes, CW accepted what amounts to a bribe, because it&#039;s been stated openly the only reason you are here are your large donations.&lt;/I&gt;

And I&#039;ll continue to call you out for your attacks on my friend..

As long as yer acting like a pissant little pathetic troll, that is how I am going to treat you...

My apologies to the rest of ya&#039;all that you have to endure it, but it will stop when he stops his attacks on myself and my friends...

You have been asked to stop by more than one Weigantian, Troll....

Use some sense if you have any....</description>

		<description>Final note: When I say &quot;I believe&quot; or &quot;I think&quot; you can&#039;t act like I&#039;m an idiot or being disinegenous for not having facts. 

They&#039;re opinions, not statement of fact. 

And I KNOW you know this, because you&#039;re not an idiot. 

You just want to argue and insult people for anything they said, opinion, fact, true or false.</description>

So no, Michale, it&#039;s another lie that you stopped. 

Stop lying, Troll.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ll turn it down a notch when the admitted troll leaves. He has proven he has no interest in acting like an adult for more than a few hours.

I&#039;m tired of him getting to do what he wants. 

And yes, CW accepted what amounts to a bribe, because it&#039;s been stated openly the only reason you are here are your large donations. 

Michale is a liar, a slanderer and a troll.</description>
