You keep promising to leave, but here you still are. I'm the senior citizen with cataract surgery in my future in the next year or two, but BillZtime and BillStime are not the same as Billstime. What part of "DR was banned because he wouldn't behave and defied the site owner" don't you understand??? IMO, these DR defenders aren't interested in explanations. They just want what they want. What's not that hard to see is that there's more manure in this post than in a dairy farm manure pit in late January.

Dude, it's your loss. If ever there was a season to be a Bills fan since the Glory Years, it's this one. This ain't Dick Jauron's smoke and mirrors 2008 4-0 Bills that went 2-10 the rest of the season. These Bills are the real deal. Barring catastrophic injuries, this Bills team is playoff bound on rocket led by Josh Allen. Join the fun and get on the bandwagon before it's too late! Nah, they'll be back. Probably under a different name, though.

Really??? I didn't think so, but then I'm just a stupid, ignorant, idiotic, socialist commie leftie, so please enlighten me as to exactly what in my statement you find to be an ad hominem attack. I've cut and pasted my post that you quoted to make it easier for you to explain. "I did, however, read SDS's long post, which the two posters either did not do or didn't understand if they did or, worse, chose to ignore what he wrote in order to defend a cyber bully who got banned for repeatedly defying the MB rules after being suspended for a while for the same behavior.

Yes, it was.

The one thing that several commentators remarked on back in the spring/summer when Trump was bragging on his "great" cognitive test results was that his verbal vocabulary had deteriorated. He sounds more like a middle schooler rather than a college educated adult when he speaks or tweets, but twenty years ago, he was much more articulate. Notice how often he describes things as "great" when he speaks or tweets. It's like he doesn't know any other positive word ... unless it's "greatest". You left off "old". Age is definitely a factor in the deadliness of the coronavirus, probably because most older folks have some comorbity issues.

It might be true. Dementia, including Alzheimer's, creeps up on people. Dementia isn't simply forgetfulness. It's also the loss of the ability to focus, to make decisions, etc. Excessive irritability, stubbornness, temper tantrums, the use of foul language, etc in people who didn't exhibit those traits in their younger days can be tell-tale signs that family members and friends only recognize in hindsight. I'm not a psychiatrist or psychologist but being on the wrong side of 70 and having some contemporaries who are suffering from age-related dementia, I'm alert to possible signs of it, especially in myself.

I have never pretended to be a good typist. I did, however, read SDS's long post, which the two posters either did not do or didn't understand if they did or, worse, chose to ignore what he wrote in order to defend a cyber bully who got banned for repeatedly defying the MB rules after being suspended for a while for the same behavior.

You said it, I didn't.

Is English NOT your native language or are you so poorly educated that you can't read and comprehend a post longer than a tweet? DR was banned because he attacked other posters viciously and repeatedly, ie, he was a cyper bully. Good riddance. Is English NOT your native language or are you so poorly educated that you can't read and comprehend a post longer than a tweet? DR was banned because he attacked other posters viciously and repeatedly, ie, he was a cyper bully. Good riddance. There is no "civility" in bullying, and DR bullied anyone who didn't slavishly accept his nutwing conspiracy bull manure. You are defending the indefensible. Why do you care what shoshin suggests? You were planning on leaving anyways -- at least temporarily -- because you didn't like the supposed "newbies" on PPP. So, why haven't you joined GG and Tasker in disappearing of your own volition? Get a clue, ad hominem attacks on posters with different beliefs is bullying not free speech. Oh, boo hooo!!! I'm crushed that some alt righter called me a commie!!!! How, precisely, can "pragmatism" be "expunged" from any record? Before you use an unfamiliar word that you've heard someone use somewhere, you should know and understand its meaning.

Well then, don't keep showing up and promising to leave, "just do it"! Says the newbie who joined in November 2019 and who laughs at the deaths of 210,000+ Americans from the coronavirus.

That's neither here nor there. Stubbornly insisting upon doing something irrational and/or stupid and/or dangerous is a frequent behavior among older people with dementia. Dude, have I got a deal for you! Are you interested in purchasing a used but recently renovated bridge over Chautauqua Lake? Keep deluding yourself. If it was so important that Trump "be seen", all he had to do was record a message and post it. Oh, wait ... he did do that, didn't he? Plain and simple, just recording a message wasn't nearly enough for Covid Donnie. He had to drag his sick ass into a limo and ride around so that he could be reassured that he was still loved and revered by his "fans", even if they only numbered a few hundred. He sacrificed another shred of presidential dignity on the alter of his pathetic need for the adulation of a relative handful of strangers. Why do you assume that the doctors at WR had the power to stop the POTUS from leaving the hospital -- if they were even consulted? I believe Trump is technically their ultimate boss, as he is for all federal employees except those employed by Congress and the federal courts.

Don't put Jones' failure on Josh Allen's struggles as a rookie and second year player. Jones didn't catch many passes from Tyrod Taylor in 2017, and he didn't help Peterman, Anderson or Barkley any more than he helped Allen in 2018. The Zay Jones I saw play last night -- and a little bit in previous games -- is not nearly as good as any of the WRs the Bills currently have, including Davis, McKenzie, and Roberts.

I spent the day catching all the action on the Red Zone Channel for the early games, and then watching the Bills go 4-0 with another impressive offensive show, so when I wandered over to PPP and saw the posts showing this presidential motorcade, I thought that this was some dumbass tweeterhead stringing together a few clips of past presidential motorcades and trying to pass them off as a current event (Sunday afternoon). It wasn't. The POTUS, infected with covid-19, intermittently being on oxygen, and being treated with drugs generally reserved for patients seriously ill from the disease, went for a f'n joyride around Bethesda, MD like a sixteen-year-old trying to impress some girls with his fancy wheels on a Saturday night!!! There's a recent thread in PPP based on the question of would Trump suffer long-term mental effects that would make him unfit to serve a second term. I think that question is moot. Covid Donnie has demonstrated that he's irrational now. He's behaved like your 90-year-old grandfather starting the slide into age-related dementia.

So Covid Donnie was cruising around the DC area in a motorcade this afternoon ... crusin' and playin' the radio with no particular place to go?

The Brownies are kickin' azz in Dallas, 38-14. Meanwhile the Carp are playing the Seahags tough, 17-9 ... they just intercepted Russ in the EZ ... and Panthers are smacking the Cards, 28-7.

Trump's last tweet was his video message on Twitter more than a day ago which appeared to have been recorded earlier. He tweeted nothing overnight, which is his favorite time to tweet and which may say more about his condition than all of the propaganda coming out of the WH.

Stop defending the indefensible. DR was banned for personal attacks on other posters after being suspended previously for personal attacks on other posters. He's NOT some martyr for free speech but simply a cyber bully who got his comeuppance.

If that person presented the information as fact rather than opinion, yes. The primary tactic for presenting opinions and/or outright lies as "fact" is citing sources that claim factual knowlege when it's only belief or even an outright lie -- like denying that the Holocaust occurred. Example: About 2003 at the height of the hysteria over terrorism because of 9/11, I was on another MB where a poster insisted that Muslim terrorists were bringing nuclear weapons across the Mexican border into the southwestern US. He cited a website run by this guy who supposedly was an "analyst" for the CIA in Iraq, at least that was what his internet bio claimed. The analyst supposedly got his "info" from an article on another website which he also owned under a different name. The "article" with the supposed specifics about the missiles was behind a paywall on a site owned by some organization that was headed by the supposed analyst. It was all a scam to get fools to part with their dollars by going around in circles.

Booooooo hoooooo! This thread has turned into a non-stop self pity party for all the indignant Righties who suddenly finding themselves sharing PPP with posters of different political views!!! To quote Covid Donnie, "It is what it is".

PPP isn't a "community". It's also not a religion or cult where everyone shares the same beliefs. It's a sub forum on a privately owned site where all members are allowed to express their opinions on politics, and yes, the owner certainly has the right to remove lies posted as facts and punish the poster(s) of such if they do it continually. Referencing some obscure site that posts lies -- such as Holocaust denials -- as facts doesn't absolve the PPP poster of his/her responsibility for honesty. If you can't deal with that, then perhaps you shouldn't post on PPP.

Soooo ... another one bites the dust???? Who knew that a few lefties (ie, anybody left of the Trump nutwing of the GOP) could wreak such havoc on the petty tyrants entrenched on PPP?

ROTFLMAO! When faced with resistance to his stupidity by a few other posters, the brave alt rightie tucks his tail and slinks off to hide in his bunker where he can spin his conspiracy fantasies in peace. Promises, promises, promises. FTR, who else besides DR got banned recently?

This is NOT your sub forum/forum/site. It's privately owned and operated, so if you wish to post here, then you have to follow the rules -- rules which you agreed to when you joined. If you don't like the rules or the way a sub forum is being run, then leave. It's really easy: just don't read or post on that sub forum. Bull manure. Nobody forced DR to post whatever he posted that was the proverbial last straw. He screwed himself and he has nobody to blame but himself ... and if you're honest with yourself, you know that's true. Pot meet kettle. In this particular thread, it's been an almost non-stop sob session by Righties about "the invasion of the 'OTHERS'", ie, anybody left of the Trump nutwing of the GOP.
