and fascism fucking begins.
What a fucking crock of shit. Silencing the opposition is only going to make us scream it louder.

I don't have to allow people to act like ill behaved children. This is my forum and my rules. I do try to allow a fair amount of latitude but how about acting like adults?

and where was that attitude for YEARS of "crooked Hillary"? *crickets*
weren't so interested in stopping it then now were you? But now there's all these rule changes. limits on threads, but there was never a limit on Paul's posting thread after thread after thread. Only use certain names, but not interested when Shooby would go from thread to thread insulting posters & calling Hillary & President Obama names. Nope, wasn't important then.
But now, it's sooooooooooooooooooooooo important. Yeah, we see all the little snowflakes who aren't here posting because they know what they started & they are fucking safe from having it served right back at them.

If this "rule" goes into effect, rest assured I WILL search out every single "crooked Hillary" & other names used for YEARS and report every single one of them. I don't care if it was said 2 years ago, I'll find it & report it. I bet there's at LEAST 500 of those posts between Paul & Shooby alone. It's ridiculous that all of a sudden this is an issue. And there's NO way to convince me this isn't about one side being all butthurt over what they slung around now being directed right back at them. the idea that now all of a sudden the rules need to be changed to protect the fucking special little trump-troop is bullshit. That is not what is going on here at all. Actually there have been few complaints about the use of the term President Trump or Crooked H., whether you are convinced or not. Old posts were made before the rules were amended and are not subject to a changed rule. THIS rule went into effect last fall early on in the campaign season because people were going off the deep end with the name calling. This has been a done deal for some time. This is about an exemption to the rule, and whether or not we all wish to retain it. Just vote how you wish. I've called their fucking president lots of names since last year, never got deleted until tonight.

I didn't vote but reading poor DJ... I will now. You are cracking me up! This is almost as hilarious as those that went to Trump rallies were "Being American and blah, blah, blah" but those that are marching "Are homeless/don't have jobs blah, blah, blah". Trumpsters do something (the same) = Good. "They/Not Trumpsters" do something (the same) = Bad/jobless. Do any of these people read themselves?! I vote Proper Names Only. KIDDING

I asked this on another thread but perhaps here is a better place. Why is "President Trump" so offensive to some? Is it not President Trump's German immigrant grandfather's name? It's because the word "Trump" has positive connotations (trump card, came up trumps) while President Trump sounds rather silly.
As for being his immigrant grandfather's name: I don't remember whether the grandfather deliberately changed his name to sound more American, or it got changed by immigration personnel, as did so many others. My great-grandparents came through Ellis Island, and all three of their young children wound up with different spellings of their last name.

Was wondering about that, do the rules of Citizens United stand and is DJ's non profit corporation allowed to buy our vote? If that's the case chocolates ain't gonna cut it, I'm thinking Oscars swag bag.

Well, if that's all this is about, I think it's pretty petty. I mean, really, Trump/President Trump, who really cares. I have to agree with DJ on this one that the political landscape is full of all sorts of derogatory mudslinging. It's not a big deal.

Ok, when do I need to start checking the mailroom. I do NOT kid around about either (dark) chocolate or red wine French & Dutch cheese are good too. Or are we back to Freedom cheese with dt in the WH?

what? you want a piece of my ear?

It also sounds a bit like Pahrump (Nevada) where there are seversl legsl brothels.

Double standards are the new IN thing!
