Congratulations, baldo. You found the line.
Whenever you refer to the President of the United States as a sociopath your post on this board will be removed.
Is this a new policy ? It's my responsibility. I took an oath many years ago. In the past I have written off people who used to be my friends because they couldn't speak respectfully of Barrack Obama, a man of whom I did not approve and thought he was bad for America. Baldo found my line. If someone doesn't like that line I'll be happy to refund their dues and help them move along. I've had more than enough. I will abide by the rules as I know them. It just seems this is a new rule. The previous president was called much worse with no removal. You don't know what I have removed. You would do best to not assume that you do. |

The point that the Trump folks are trying to make, and their supporters, about the inauguration crowd comparison is this.
This inauguration was different in many ways from Obama's.
Much of it dealing with security and excessive threats.
Access to the mall was severely restricted much farther out from the Capital than Obama's inauguration.
On top of that, protesters blocked what few access points there were.
My wife knows some who were there and the lines to enter the Mall area extended for miles and took hours to get into the mall area.
Now, restrictions were in place for the Obama inauguration, but the access restrictions were just around the Capitol area. The rest of the Mall was unrestricted.
There were many other logistical reasons for the appearance of a smaller crowd. Much security related that didn't exist in 09.
And the point is these were intentionally glossed over to hit back and score points on the Trump administration like this is some kind of demented game the media is playing. Like the report of the MLK bust being "removed" from the Oval Office by the "racist" President.
And every time the media pulls this crap my stock in the Trump Administration goes up. Way up.
This isn't about the media being unfair to the Trump administration. Life isn't fair. I get that. The relationship between the media and an American Administration can be adversarial, even if the press is on their "political side".
This is about the media being unfair and in the process, betraying, us, We The People, by continuing to present to us narratives THEY KNOW are simply not so.

Carl, I'm not trying to get in a pissing match. I just know that you said his post was removed because he called him a sociopath. I'm trying to not assume anything. I'm just trying to figure out what is going on. My apologies. I know you care about this community and are trying to do what is best for it. I'm just a little confused about where we are.

It appears the hernia surgery she had eleven months ago has reversed itself. This is probably not a good day to mess with me. I'm sorry to hear of your wife's problems, Willow. My best thoughts. |

Good luck with that.  Tell her to stop doing 200lb squats. |
