Taro T

Gee, you mean there's a difference between closing/ locking a thread & deleting one? Really don't understand why ANY thread should get deleted unless it was truly vile from the very 1st post. That said, totally get why the people that like to delete threads here tend to do so.

5th post down on 3rd page of the "additional information regarding the actions taken thread:" "As for this part, I do my best to be correct in these situations and for this I owe DR somewhat of an apology. I reread the messages yet again and he did not accuse another member of actually being a pedophile himself, but (paraphrasing) that the member supports those causes and that’s what the member stands for. The technical misrepresentation is completely my fault and I own that. However, the distinction between the two is rather small and the sentiment is essentially the same. Thank you for pointing it out. "

He also stated elsewhere that upon receiving further information that his initial take (which you quote) did not accurately represent what was conveyed in the PMs.

Pretty sure that is a misrepresentation of their conversation. Also, pretty sure you realize that. Which puts your post on par with that which you rail against.

It wasn't social media that took him down that road. It was researching a project he was working on that had him speaking w/ a bunch of MI types which then morphed into a desire to try to prove 45 was colluding with Russian intelligence. Only problem was, along the way, he found out it wasn't 45's team that was colluding with the Russians. He was 3 years ahead of info that's been getting made public through declassifications & the like. He's caught a tremendous amount of flack for his takes the past 3 years. Thing is, in Russiagate & Spygate he's actually been shown to be far more right than wrong. He still has his wild alien conspiracies too, but he was correct about a lot of stuff on this. Not all of it, but a lot of it. And if you look at the testimony that people gave under oath to the HSCI regarding Russian collusion versus what they say when not under oath on the cable news shows, he really has been a truly valuable resource. He's still the same good guy he was when he was voting for 44, but he's seen a lot of stuff we haven't had access to. (Sorry for the rambling response. This board lost a very good asset when Greg was sent to the sidelines.)

Really. DR was that well known right winger TGregg & GreggyT.

Yep.

Again, project much?

Based upon the 1st bolded sentence, your second bolded raises the question: project much?

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.

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.

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.

Am really surprised by this tweet. Good for her actually being decent.

PiP.

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.

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.

More like female versions of Rob Reiner. At least DeNiro has talent.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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?
