And you had to validate VB's thread? I was looking forward to the discussion on how his threada only has 3 responses because he was talking to himself. Guilty as charged! Evidently I too, am not golden! Evidently I do not make them as exciting as Paul does. I promise to make that a New Year's resolution for the board!

Virgil, I'd like to see something similar for 2012 on Obama. 2008 would be more comparable, but we were still on MSN then. I've had to deal with scads of Obama bashing threads. I'm OK with living on the other side of it for once.
And we can just auto-respond with what the liberals posted on each of those anti-Obama threads: "Obviously, you're just racist!!" It really hurts any sort of discussion or understanding when people seem to insist all liberals act the same way. I notice its very rare than anyone insists all conservatives act a certain way.
I don't think I ever posted that, but feel free to look.

Low-response threads are an inevitability of message boards. I've created many over the years.
It's when we're creating 10+ a week that it behooves us to reconsider organization.

Do I win a prize if I create 11 no response threads in a week? It could be a Christmas miracle or something for next year's Festivus Grievance list.

OK. Did Trump sacrifice his staff staff or was it his other staff? Was an alter and ritual used or he just threw them to the sharks? This is one that really needs more details. I'm really enjoying some of these headlines.

I thought these were supposed to be bad thread titles for Trump.

Crappy border security? The last time I crossed the border (last June), our car and trailer were searched for illegal fruits and vegetables. They confiscated a couple of tomatoes and a bunch of grapes. I doubt I could have snuck in an illegal if I couldn't even smuggle in a couple of tomatoes. Yea, they can grab the grapes alright, but miss tons of cocaine!!

Most of these thread titles are funny and sadly plausible.

They keep telling us that carrying contraband over the border is getting more and more impossible by the year. By next year it should be super impossible. Super duper impossible by 2018. By 2019 it will be so impossible that even suggesting something was smuggled over the northern border will be punishable by law. So your southern border is your Achilles heel. The Canadian government doth not lie. I can tell you, from personall experience, that carrying tomatoes and grapes across the border was forbidden - and earned me a threat of a $300 fine if it happened again. Boy, I bet that stopped the illegals from bringing any grapes with them!

I feel like this thread is equivalent to bullying people who don't support Trump. So the right has taken away free speech rights before Trump is even taken office? Doesn't seem to fit with our normal code of conduct.

Well...since I doubt you'll find more than 5 true "Trump supporters" on this board, I'd say the analysis of why this thread was created is a bit off base. You'll find some who grudgingly decided he was the lesser or two evils. You'll find a very few who realize the election is over and nothing about popular votes or counties won or San Francisco not getting a voice just don't matter and they've accepted the result. You'll find a good many who maybe hope for the best, all the while expecting the worst. But true supporters...not many.
The purpose of this thread was a parody on the many, many threads made about every word Trump utters. It IS funny. See...some of us didn't lose our sense of humor along with the election so in the words of some here...scroll by it if it bothers you. I find it hilarious and I'm certainly no "Trump supporter". I also find it much more entertaining than the hatefulness found most everywhere else. To each his/her own, I guess.

If you voted for Trump you ARE a "Trump supporter". I have no idea what a "true" Trump supporter is.
If you voted for him he is YOUR GUY. Every gaffe, every misstep, every corrupt appointment, every conflict of interest - it is all on anyone who pulled the lever for him. You knew what he was: an unqualified, bigoted bully who demonized Americans who were Muslim, who denigrated women and mocked disabled people. You knew exactly what he was, but it was not a deal breaker....
That makes you a Trump supporter.

That's not true at all and as soon as Democrats face that fact, they may have a chance in hell of winning the next election. I'm betting the vast majority of people who voted for Trump were "Clinton Non-Supporters". Learn that, accept it and put forth a better candidate. You might win next time. You just may not cost your candidate another election. Continue down this path and it will be another stunning loss. I didn't vote for the guy. I didn't vote for her either. Couldn't stomach either choice.
Stop whining and start winning or continue with this nonsense and have a big "L" on your forehead for the foreseeable future. Up to you, of course.

Indiana went overwhelmingly for him, so my vote did not make a difference!

With all that said, and "Gardening ..." is correct...now if the Donald solves the Palastinian / Israeli debacle, brings back quality jobs to the States..it's citizens...gets a better handle with the Russians as far as world politics are concerned, same with China...solves the possible situation in South China seas that seems ready to blow up in areal shooting war, keeps the Iranians away from aquiring a nuclear weapon..solves the problems with North Korea...and solves a few of the other world problems and actually by his actions does bring the sides in the States closer ...well then u can garner all the positives available..take credit for knowing that which the rest of us had no clue about...in fact boogie to your hearts content...

And he's going to create jobs via rebuilding infrastructure (which I support) AND build more nukes, and massively cut taxes while decreasing the deficit.

Sounds a lot like the Reagan plan. Too bad that didn't really work. Exploded the debt and set us on the road to ruin. How much worse will it be now since we are already well down that road?

despite his many protestations about being a smart guy, he doesn't really appear to have any ideas of his own. so, yeah, that makes sense.
maybe he will triple the debt, like Reagan did, as well.
