    Many might say this meme applies to everyone else but themselves. Truly, I think it applies to each and every one of us. I know I have my hand up....

    If it’s always a 8:1 ratio...does that ever make you think maybe you should reconsider your stance? Or just that 90% of people are just idiots?

    Here? Absolutely. But don't equate S2 to be the same as the general public. your 90% of people is not even close to accurate in the country. But since there is an echo chamber of liberalism here, I could see how you think 90% of the people in the country think like yo. Hate to disappoint you, but you are very wrong on that.

    I can steer you to other sites that would render yours the minority viewpoint. Nonetheless, it's the Blazers that drew me here. OT has become a side hobby, if you will. :)

    Also, one more thing on this. When I see a fight that is 5 vs 1 and the odds are very much unfair, I will absolutely step in. The ganglike mentality some have here needs to be opposed. It's straight ugly.

    Here's what gets me confused. Why couldn't Don Jr just say "allergies" were the reason his eyes were watery (or whatever)?

    That's a pet peeve of mine, people who make up far more elaborate lies to cover up shit. Especially when ti's minor AND easy to cover/rationalize away.

    I actually think his eyes were watering/tearing because he was upset at being relegated to Night 3 and Ivanka was given a bigger spotlight than him On Night 4. And Daddy made it very clear prior to his speech that his little princess comes first, last and always. That’s a hard truth for him to accept........or perhaps he was crying because his mistress snarfed up all the cocaine ahead of her appearance and before he could have more....?

    hehe, those might be true. I just don't get why they decided to go with...actually, I do know why. It feeds the narrative of "fake news".

    Your not here alone politically. There are still several other conservatives. Are their more moderates/liberals sure. The majority of your posts are directly attacking Democrats/liberals/moderates. Not specific posters but in general. You, don't expect to get replies? You don't expect your posts to get attacked?

    He is allowed and welcome his stance and opinion, but he shouldn't expect that it won't be questioned in a political arena such as the OT, especially when he attacks liberals

    Sorry Chris, But I have seen WAY more attacks on ABM than I have him attacking anyone. He posts links etc and people attack him.

    If some people consider his links a personal attack, then... well... there is a wintertime word for that.

    His posts do get attacked alot. He attacks liberals alot. His links are not innocous. Some are disturbing. Never said, they were personal attacks. Some posters may take it that way. I can't help it whether they do or not.

    That said, I don't like people ganging up on others. I didn't like it when the conservatives had larger numbers and did that here. I don't like it when the other side does it either.

    If I have issue with a post I go mono y mono. I do wish people would try to have more conversation here and argue less. Engage each other more.

    I don't see you make personal attacks, just political rebuttals, which is fine.

    However I question the assertion that conservatives were attacking libs prior. Id love to see some quotes or links to pages, because I don't recall that at all. I DO recall Maris and a couple others posting tons of links and quotes that in turn got him attacked by the masses here.

    You DO know that works both ways, right? @ABM is NOT a victim here, despite his many attempts to play that card. He makes a conscious choice to play on this particular playground, knowing full well the other kids are from a different school than him. If he falls and skins his own knees, that’s on him......just sayin’.....

    I used to get ganged up on by conservatives here all the time back in the day when the OT was fully of conservatives.

    I saw others get ganged up on too

    Sorry, I dont have time to go back and pull them up for you

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Let's not turn threads into referendums on specific posters. I have many opinions on many posters, but you'll have to wait for my book (press junket in October, wide release in December just in time for gift-giving!) to hear all of that. In the meantime, conversations about whether a poster is a good man or bad man isn't really appropriate. Let's just focus on Trump being a bad man or a worse man.

    Now, if you have concerns about moderation and the fairness and etc, please message your favorite moderator (so, Sly).
