Mandate? In any event, I was never a fan of that other forum. I think I posted there once.
This is the part you find contentious?
There's a cadre of right-wing circlejerkers, some left-wingers, maybe one or two centrists, and the occasional person who
rarely posts, says their one piece and disappears for another few months, and on rare occasions, post a little more. People like Taernath, Jeril, Richard, Drauz, etc.
Okay. This exchange, for one.
This, for another.
Whenever he gets really upset, he starts ignoring whatever it was he was talking about, and rants and raves about the person, rather than what he was talking about. Both because of his inability to control himself, but also to distract from how hilariously poorly he was arguing.
If you voted for Trump at any level based on the issues, you got conned. The deficit, national defense, the revitalization of middle America, etc. Not to mention you voted for someone who was
openly conspiring with a foreign power. You've rationalized the GOP-donating wealthy looting the country in exchange for the peanuts you've personally received.
You did get a justice confirmed, congrats. It's a pity it came at the cost of introducing purely partisan politics into the process, though, given what Mitch McConnell decided to do with the seat while Obama was in office. If you don't think that's going to bite the GOP in the long-term, you're precisely as stupid as I already know you are.
And again, not sure where you've gotten the notion that I ever "left." I always lurk, even if I'm not particularly motivated to get into one of these back-and-forths you love so much.
"If I act like it's silly, it won't be true! Even if it's completely obvious!"
Spoiler Alert: When you go on a spree of epithet-laced screeds, it's obvious you're upset. Especially when you drop the pretense of caring about the issue you're "discussing" in lieu of those screeds and solely attack the person behind the argument.
As I just mentioned: You flee the argument, in favor of your usual derailing strategy.
Case in point. You'll just start railing about something else, responding to someone else, etc. And again.... never left, buddy, just because I don't always post daily. And you've been put in your place dozens of times,
just like you were here.
