Trump Indictment ( includes NY AG and Fed documents case ) (1 Viewer)

[SteveSBrickNJ]

Former President D. Trump has been indicted by a New York Grand Jury. There will be much to talk about on this topic because this is just the first step in a lengthy process.
Possibly it is worthy of its own thread here rather than posting about Trump's indictment in already existing threads?

This 3/31/23 story might get the ball rolling....

Manhattan’s DA wanted a Friday Trump arrest. Trump’s team said no.

Secret Service needed more time to prepare, according to the ex-president’s legal team.

Yes they are and it's as ridiculous as someone claiming @Snarky Sack & @SaintForLife are the same person.

If someone did make that accusation, I certainly wouldn't cry about it. I just say okay if you think so that's fine.

By the way, I noticed that you edited your post about how y'all should get rid of me by taking me out of it and making it general.

unfortunately, I already captured it when I quoted it in my reply. Would you like for me to edit that part in my post to match your corrections?

Yes I immediately edited after I posted it. I've explained in the post why I edited it and I sent you a private message to explain it to you personally since I took an unnecessary personal swipe at you. My apologies for that.

It's your call. In all sincerity and civility, what you choose to do doesn't matter to me one way or another.

 

[Snarky Sack]

Been there. Experienced that.
This is what they do.
They focused on me....and now they've set their sites on you.
Numerous times I tried to redirect their posts OFF of ME and onto the SUBJECT.
Alas, at times it was wasted efforts on my part.
One person, I think @brandon, mentioned correctly that you do NOT participate in personal attacks. He (I believe) stated that he feels you are wrong but gave you some credit for being issue focused.
I agree.

This is not my first rodeo. No doubt they would like the board to be nothing but people who all agree with them. They as much as told me that by saying that I should just lurk for several days to see how the board goes. On another board that was very similar, someone whose personality perfectly matched two posters on here said, "we have been on this board for a long time and we like to talk to each other because we do have the same opinions."

Seems pretty boring and the free market prevents them from having that except on a very specialized board. Owners of a board will want traffic and traffic comes from differing opinions. Moderators don't typically kick people off for different opinions.

The board that I'm returning to is pretty good.

I am absolutely for intelligent and reasonable discussion from all sides and I can understand people from the right coming here and feeling ganged up on.. but it's also true that almost all posters from the right here have either been Trump supporters/apologists or operating in bad faith. It's just rare that someone from the right comes in and doesn't fall within one of the two categories and is therefore reasonable.

This is just hogwash. There are several conservatives on the board. I'm actually a fiscal conservative and moderate on social issues. And we can always have a spirited discussion and and the end of the day, agree to disagree. Friendly debate on the issues is perfectly fine.

What's your point here?

Not one poster has been banned here for having a different opinion.

The board that I'm returning to is pretty good. Not that this one isn't, the management is fine. But my other forum has a much more even mix. No one complains about snark, they just give it back. People get reported for violating rules like no talking about family members, no calling posters "groomers," etc.

Just to be sure, here personal attacks are frowned upon here and are against the TOS and if you feel you're personally attacked, report the post and the mods will handle it.

Even at that, people complain about the moderation, as in "why can I be called a nazi, but I can't call a person who advocates sexualizing children "groomers?" Moderators participate in the debate, but the mix of progs and cons is pretty good.

LoL! Ok, come on, nine days!

Then what is the difference with me, that posters dream of ways to get rid of me?

It's Trump, right? Be honest.

What's your point here?

That I was told directly that Trump supporters and "outsiders" on this board "don't last long" because they are reported to the mods. You want the exact quotes? I also had a poster threaten explicitly to come back under a different screen name to troll me.

Not one poster has been banned here for having a different opinion.

Of course not. That is why it is a dream.

I've seen no need for that. If posters were not allowed to personally attack me, I'd have few posters willing to respond to me at all.

Part of it is Trump, but part of it is your posting. Not one poster has said they want to get rid of you.

They were reported to the mods for insulting other posters, being unnecessarily confrontational, trolling among other things. It had nothing to do with them supporting Trump.

The poster already explained himself, let it go man.

Of course not. That is why it is a dream.

I dont get this response.

I've seen no need for that. If posters were not allowed to personally attack me, I'd have few posters willing to respond to me at all.

It's still a rule. Posters aren't allowed to attack you. They can attack/challenge your ideas, but personal attacks aren't allowed.

I've let it go with the poster who sincerely walked it back. We have a truce as far as I'm concerned. I look forward to non-personal discussions with him or her.

Not the posters to whom I was referring. They have doubled down on their personal attacks. I'll quote them on request.

They do.

But I don't report them, and I'm not complaining. I only mentioned it in answer to your questioning me as if I'm the only snarky poster.

That's up to you.

Where did I question you like that? Seriously?

 

[LA - L.A.]

Whats the name and url of that site? This is the only board I know of, so I'd like to check out the other board.

 

[LA - L.A.]

Then what is the difference with me...

It's Trump, right? Be honest.

Honestly, it's how overly and unnecessarily antagonistic you tend to be when you disagree with someone.

It's not because you support Trump. It's because of the way you talk to people when you're supporting Trump.

The issue is much more your style, than it is your beliefs.

Most of the people here, like most of the people in this country, have had enough of Trump and the people who keep trying to justify or excuse every dickish thing that Trump does.

If you decide you're going to butt heads with that in an antagonistic way, then you're going to get a lot of head butting back and you're equally at fault for the head butting you get back.

That I was told directly that Trump supporters and "outsiders" on this board "don't last long" because they are reported to the mods. You want the exact quotes?

I'd like to see those quotes. Please quote them using the board's quoting system which shows the poster's name as a link to the post that you're quoting.

Please quote when someone said this to you:

Trump supporters and "outsiders" on this board "don't last long" because they are reported to the mods

 

[SaintForLife]

Still are a few, I suspect.

Thanks for the insult. I see the message board hall monitor is still here. I'm sure you have been busy telling Snark how he should post so it's to your liking.

 

[SaintForLife]

Surely you enjoy a good Greenwald Twitter dump as much as the rest of us, right?

Yet yall NEVER complain about Optimus Prime's Democrat... I mean Washington Post dumps. You guys have different rules for the people you don't like.

 

[SaintForLife]

Ignore their complaints about you asking if someone had alternate accounts here. They've made that accusation multiple times in the past. They are very hypocritical. They have certain rules for people they don't like, but they don't think it should apply for people they like.

Who are the conservatives left here who aren't anti-Trump? It's perfectly fine to be anti-Trump, but don't act like people who support Trump here aren't constantly insulted.

As they should be. Supporting a traitorous piece of excrement isn’t acceptable.

This is just not true. Either quote whoever said that or gtfo.

And the rules apply to everyone, period.

Ah, more making stuff up I see. You are free to rebut a source, even the WP. And people can rebut yours. If you can't take the heat...
