Unfortunately, HBF, this probably isn't going to help, but good try. The DR defenders refuse to accept that he was banned because of his own bad behavior, and they're unwilling to accept anything but a complete and abject surrender by SDS of his right to moderate PPP in any way. You cannot reason with some people.
Based upon the 1st bolded sentence, your second bolded raises the question: project much?

This is probably peripheral to the discussion I've been trying to have, but the above responses beg the question... Did DR come after the one verifiably known person here that is actually on the sex offender registry?
Again, not trying to be argumentative. Just curious given the unique situation.
Honestly not sure of the origin of that accusation. Do know that when somebody would post news that another trafficking ring got broken up or additional information about Epstein & his crew, Gary would typically post something designed to elicit a response from DR.

Just now, SDS said:
Is this a defense? 🤔Absolutely not. And not condoning the accusation.
But, there is a history between the 2. And one of them is on at least his 4th incarnation here and has a penchant for starting threads and then deleting them. Was merely trying to clarify that Gary was embellishing once again.

Good riddance. He called any liberal who disagreed with him a pedophile.
Pretty sure you were the only person around here whom he accused of that.

Cool. Had exactly 3 currently active posters on Ignore & 2 were on your list. Great minds ..., or something to that effect.
Thanks.

SDS, thanks for the explanation. Still don't believe banning DR was the correct decision, but this is your board & respect the decision. (Also, very saddened that you & yours are having so many health issues, I do hope they all get overcome & will say a prayer for you all.)
Definitely don't want to add to the consternation this place has been causing you, but do want to point out one item. The vast majority of the people celebrating your decision (& running to you and the mods about DR & likely others) are people that openly call for the removal of this board. It's interesting & sad that the people who don't like this board can't abide their own advice and simply stay away. But rather they want to destroy this because they don't like it.
Anyway, thank you again for hosting this site & SS. We are your guests here & most of us do appreciate that we are in fact your guests & need to play by the house rules.

E, I am a never Trumper, and like 99% of all people, do not believe the virus is fake , but that the reaction and lockdowns to it is overblown. My reaction is the exact same as when the VA Gov announced last Friday he and his wife were positive. This is an highly infectious virus that no matter what side politically you are on, what precautions you take, unless you you want to 100% isolate from the world, you have a chance of contracting the virus. And even then, you may still test positive.
What i am certain of testing positive does not mean Northam did anything wrong, or immoral, or selfish( one of first states to mandate masks BTW) , and same goes for Trump.
Neither of these men should be castigated for a positive test for a HIGHLY INFECTIOUS virus. I will castigate Trump for a myriad of reasons, but not this.
As an side, this is most likely my last post at TBD. A certain mod has decided that any and all of my posts deserve warning points, and as it seems her power is all encompassing, i have decided best for me to not support this site any more. I know, crushing right?
I have been friends with E on this board since 2004, so much so even texted him the other day laughing about our early discussions on HD and the type of DVTs etc Directv had way back when. Yes, HD was a topic , one might say "novel" , when i joined this board.
But my libertarian bent and love of this country is just to deep to put up with strong armed censorship of ideas and views, particularly when it is censorship based strictly a mods point of view. Dictatorship is good when you the dictator.
Thank you @SDS for the providing the forum, it was a fun 17 years. Wish you all the best!
Enjoyed it yall,
And for all those that make the tailgates great, and no longer post here...you bastages are not done with me, i have all you numbers!
Was going to give the post the "awesome" emoji, but then got to the part that you're quitting this place.
Hope you reconsider leaving; you're a good poster.
Maybe when all the lockdowns have subsided you'll come back. Hope so.

Lots of signals going out this early evening/afternoon (east coast time)
Would explain 45 venting his spleen at the last campaign stop. He'd know if they're actually ready to start handing out indictments.
And as big of a jerk he tends to be at times, until the last batch of Flynn releases & the Ratcliffe letter to Graham he's been really pretty much silent on how the IC community hosed him & his campaign. He's been pretty good at only making accusations that are about to be proven true.
So, hoping that's the case here. But will believe it when we see it.

They know they're going to lose.
If everything were on the up & up, do expect 45 to be reelected. But absolutely don't doubt that at minimum Nevada & PA will be stolen. WI (which my expectation would go 45 after Kenosha) & MN (which actually might go 45 in a fair election) will have shenanigans as well. It only takes a couple more like AZ and pretty soon, the former VP "wins."

Do these ####ing morons HONESTLY believe that 55's position condemning these hate groups is something he's flipped away from?
How many ####ing times will be enough?
And, for the love of all that's good & holy, can just 1 of them ask the former VP to condemn Antifa & other anarchist & communist sympathizing groups with at least 1/10th the fervor that they chase 45 on the flip side of the issue?

I used to watch "Meet the Press" religiously. I stuck with it for a bit. Gave David Gregory a few weeks before just giving up completely.
Your other point is dead nutz accurate. There is nothing worse than just abject compliance. Giving these morons nothing more than an echo chamber is exactly why we're where we are today. Democrats literally feel above the law because there's no reason for them not to.
Unchecked government power has historically been a very bad thing.
100%.
But, speaking of Gregory, who was awful as the moderator on MtP, he's the guy that had Pelosi say the Catholic Church has no position on when life begins AND that natural gas is not a fossil fuel. Too bad he didn't follow up on either as her explanations would've been doozies.

Of course not. Just thinking out loud about how unbelievably incompetent today's "journalists" are. It's mostly to poke at the morons around here who don't have the brainpower to realize they're being constantly manipulated.
The day Tim Russert died so, pretty much, did mainstream journalism.
And it's frustrating as heck as politicians are forced to come up with better ideas when their idiocy is exposed. And the morons in the mainstream press don't realize that by scrutinizing ALL politicians, we all win. It's great that they come after Republicans hard. We'd all be better off if they came after Democrats at least 3/4's as hard. And if they'd only twist conservatives words 20% more often than they do liberals, we'd be better off as well.

Uh yes. Do some research.
Her views on Women's rights are very confrontational and being Anti Feminist.
You don't wan to make the Hulk angry
Is English not your 1st language?
There is a WIDE gap between not being a feminist & being submissive.
You honestly don't see the contradiction between her being "submissive" and rising to a position of power that fewer than 0.000004% of American women have risen to? Assuming she is confirmed, she will be exactly the FIFTH woman EVER on the US Supreme Court.

The Proud Bouy's are known for anti-Muslim and misogynistic rhetoric. Which is interesting as that is in line with Chaos' SC nominee.
Amy Coney Barrett has close ties to a Christian religious group that holds that men are divinely ordained as the “head” of the family and faith. Former members of the group, called People of Praise, say it teaches that wives must submit to the will of their husbands.
A group that she is affiliated with, People of Praise’s branch said
women were expected to live in “total submission” not only to their husbands, but also the other male “heads” within the group.
LOL says someone supporting White Nationalists,.
the big bad media.
Seriously? You are claiming a woman who very likely will become only the 5th woman in history to be on the Supreme Court believes women are "expected to live in 'total submission'?"
Care to explain how this "submissive" woman rose to that level living the "submissive"
life she apparently espouses?

OMG.............even worse.
It's not even open to debate, he must think that liberal voters are pretty stupid.
Wtf is the angry emoji for this one?
Absolutely awful that this SOB will lie so bald faced. Still have a copy of the order he gave. He can & will lie; hopefully people continue to call him out on that.

Nice follow up "Why is that?" question.
You don't honestly expect a follow up question, do you?

That makes the question even more annoying then. The response to that question and the response to the question about opposing "corporate racial sensitivity training" (aka the Marxist program of CRT) were the 2 biggest hits 45 took IMHO, because although he was on the right side of both issues he didn't come close to saying what he needed to say & for anyone watching that was getting their 1st exposure to these questions would hear pretty much the opposite of what 45 meant.
Yes, he said "sure" a couple of times, which meant yes he disavows them & has done so repeatedly in the past, but it APPEARED like he didn't really want to do so. And that, IMHO, was because he wanted to talk about Antifa & couldn't keep the 2 thoughts fully clear & separate from his brain to his mouth.

It was just as entertaining as when the President called him dumb.
Biden had to talk over Trump. He had no choice. If he doesn't go on the offensive and play the same game as Trump then we hear about how weak he is. Its the reason he has the nomination. Biden won the bid because he was viewed as a fighter and someone who can stand up to Trump. That debate was a new low in American politics.
There is nothing presidential about either of them but no one seems to really care anymore.
Would agree w/ this.
But, make no mistake, Biden showed 8 years ago that he'd have been talking over 45 whether 45 was playing nice or playing himself.
My take is still that neither won the debate (it's hard to win a debate when you can't articulate complete thoughts & neither man can) but 45 might have lost it. Though getting Biden to tacitly admit he'll stack the SC if he can and (paraphrasing here) that Antifa is an idea and not an organization (try telling that to people who had their businesses burned down) were a couple of solid body blows.

I didn't find anything particularly entertaining about the sitting President talking over both his opponent and the moderator for the first 60 minutes which amounted to a jumbled mess. Nor would I consider refusing to allow your opponent a chance to speak a show of strength.
At many times Biden actually looked composed in comparison to Trump's inability to control himself. Making Biden look like a composed adult is truly remarkable.
Not disagreeing at all. But did you find the former Vice President calling the current President "a clown" and talking over him presidential or entertaining?

I do wonder how that went over with the Bernie Bros, AOC fans, and the rest of "the squad"?Can't believe it went over well w/ Pelosi, Shumer, or 44 either.

WASHINGTON - Democratic voters who have requested mail ballots - and returned them - greatly outnumber Republicans so far in key battleground states, causing alarm among GOP party leaders and strategists that President Donald Trump's attacks on mail voting could be hurting the party's prospects to retain the White House and the Senate this year.
Of the more than 9 million voters who requested mail ballots through Monday in Florida, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Maine and Iowa, the five battleground states where such data is publicly available, 52% were Democrats. Twenty-eight percent were Republicans and 20% were unaffiliated.
https://www.thehour.com/news/article/Early-surge-of-Democratic-mail-voting-sparks-15607367.php
But causing alarm among Democrat strategists only 11% percent of those requesting mail-in ballots were deceased. Said one anonymous strategist "if we've lost the dead, you can put a nail in our campaign's chances."
