A simple anti-Trump hit piece.

This intellectually vacuous thread is contrary to JR’s admonishment to be civil.

[ScottinVA]

Presenting verifiable factual information is now deemed “uncivil?”

How Soviet of you.

[Leto]

Do you dispute any of the facts on his political donations or are you claiming that Trump is lying in his tweets?

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

So now it is uncivil to just post actual tweets and actual donation amounts? What’s uncivil is That Donald Trump said those things and made those donations.

This intellectually vacuous thread is contrary to JR’s
admonishment to be civil.

****************

These are facts and not untruths I assume without digging into the details.

It may mean something to some people and to others it means Trump was having to
work in the enviorment where his business interest were located. It will not be
a deal breaker to Trump supporters imo.

Out of curiosity, what questions or criticisms of Trump are and are not acceptable?

1. He has taken many Leftist positions from healthcare to abortion and this brings up a question of authenticity on each particular position

2. His 180 turns might be of questionable sincerity or indicate that his positions are not deeply held

3. He appears petty to many people

4. His level of egotism is a turnoff to many people who aren’t used to the over-the-top sports fanatic world, so is he electable

5. His warm and toasty remarks concerning Pelosi, Schumer, and Reid are alarming to people who think that he is telling the truth in this instance and will compromise away the farm

6. His lifelong connections with the establishment of both parties seems like a questionable qualify for being outside the establishment

7. His remarks on abortion continue to be the Clinton line of the 1990s, which was personally opposed but pro-choice

So in short, can Trump’s positions, demeanor, and capabilities be questioned without it being a personal insult to his supporters?

Clearly, the presentation of verifiable facts concerning a candidate is now counter to the rules of a candidate's "Ministry of Propaganda". I remember a time when you could post invective-free opinions (heck, even opinions *with* invective, as long as they weren't profane) here on Free Republic without wondering if you were risking the "Digital Gulag". Great job!! Some of Trump's more "passionate" supporters here on FR are representing him atrociously.
