Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Here is my example with WFTD.
so much calumniating going on. this neverending trainwreck is getting bloodier by the minute. No pushing at the door please!
lots of leaping today?
And I certainly don't care what Calumniate, either.
HA! A+++
People are crazy. Trump claims to be a victim of calumniating when they are playing his old soundbites, shrillary and tiny brain biden are grandstanding about sexual assault, hannity and coulter are engaging in online arguments to drum up ratings for both, dnc veep leaves to stump for the old socialist. Crazy.
A+++ stop the world I want to get off.
I’m still trying to process the cultists praising Trump for not falling into Jake Tapper’s trap and unequivocally denouncing the Ku Klux Klan.
There is no processing any of this, it is INSANITY. The cult of personality derided when built around Obama is fully embraced with Trump as the focus. They also believe that the gopE is readying Mitt Romney to combat trump, Roger Stone was on about that. My friend Phyllis, the dr, was spouting it to me last night. She sends me Breitbart BS which is also known as TRUMPBART, so there ya go...

Cult? You need to buy a clue. This is a sitting GOP U. S. Senator threatening third party YESTERDAY:
Ben Sasse @BenSasse 11h11 hours ago If Trump becomes the Republican nominee my expectation is that I'll look for some 3rd candidate – a conservative option, a Constitutionalist
Sorry, not going to engage a trumpbot on the WFTD thread, not gonna do it. it’s insanity, pure and simple.
You can’t even click on an article without seeing freepers attacking the person who posted it! This season may be the complete downfall of this site
You posted a false statement and I corrected it. Deal with it. BTW, I was a Cruz supporter for many years and wouldn’t have a problem voting for him the general. But we both know now that won’t be happening.
I see no good end, no matter what happens. Trump, if elected, will disappoint his acolytes, who have bought, hook line and sinker what he’s selling. They are taking on complete faith what he says he will do, when there is no foundational underpinning to give any credence to his promises. If he’s NOT elected and Hillary wins, the trumpbots will squeal its because conservatives stayed home. There will be those who stay home. I cannot say #nevertrump because if he’s the nominee, I will vote for him. I cannot say the same for my entire family, I know my kids will not vote for him, they think he’s a joke. I think Kurt Schlichter’s piece that I posted above, truly says what I feel. There’s a tiny chance that Trump may be a smidge better than Hillary, and so, if he’s the nominee, I will vote for him.
And I thought it was some sort of environmentally friendly form of light for the west coast.
Trump is a cult of personality. Support him if you want to, but don’t think for a moment that’s not what it is.
He himself stated how strong his devotees are (shooting someone on 5th Avenue).
Embrace it. Own it.
I dropped little dog off at the vet for teethcleaning and labwork today and asked them to call me as soon as he is done. With his anxiety, I’d prefer him to recuperate at home where it’s quiet. The receptionist had technicolor hair. Again. I don’t understand why people do that. I don’t get the multiple piercings either.
false statement? I’m sorry, cult of personality is EXACTLY what I see here and elsewhere directed to Trump. That’s my OPINION and not a false statement. No candidate can beat Trump. but that does not make him the Messiah that he is hailed as on far too many FR threads. The man is not a conservative, the man has no principles. but yeah, I will vote for him if he’s the nominee. and yes he is supported by a VAST cult of personality.
No matter what happens, Trump will claim he was treated unfairly and will continue to sow discord.
I am leaning hard on “never voting” for him. I know he will be a disaster and want to have no part of him.
good one! A+++
