In any case, I'm not a follower of Trump. I'm not a follower of anybody. I'm a follower only of my own moral principles and priorities.
It might be good to substitute the catch-all term "Hitler" with Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao, or even the EU from time to time. In that way, people may get a better grasp of the despotism, tyranny, and enslavement that exist in a good-hearted socialism and communism world.Uh, prior, you made the claim that people following their "own moral principles and priorities" is what's killing Western civilization, killing the world, and, if you believe what you just said you believe, you're responsible for Hitler.
You claimed there is only one set of moral principles and priorities that anyone can follow (based on one particular ancient superstition), and whoever doesn't follow that one set is either evil, or allowing evil (so, technically, passively evil, regardless).
Now you're claiming you follow your own moral principles?!?
WTF?
I'm not on a team though unless it is team USA. That simply means that I agree with many of Trump's efforts but disagree on a few. But I absolutely abhor when people put words in another's mouth. Perhaps you didn't realize that your words could be seen that way. But that is not what Trump said which is why I asked for a clip or quote. I think that we have to be very careful about trying to summarize what someone else has said (Trump, other posters, etc.) because we inject our own language that often is inflammatory, and the meaning gets twisted.
I disagree with your thought on letting the Epstein issue die a quiet death. Evil wins if that happens. It will happen again and more brazenly if no one is held accountable. Also, many who committed sexual assault on minor sex slaves will go unpunished and likely are already repeating these crimes.
Your refusal to admit that Trump not only didn't call all of his supporters traitors but that your statement saying this was inaccurate makes me much less inclined to trust you as a poster or a person. It's OK for you to say that you are wrong when you are wrong. But you won't and that makes you less trustworthy. It's no different than the liberal posters or liberal media smearing Trump or conservatives for things that were never said. End of discussion. I don't have anything else to discuss with you.Right, I understand you feel the word "traitor" misrepresents Trump's words. I respect your opinion on that...but I disagree with it.
To me, "traitor" is an accurately figurative term for (paraphrasing Trump) "people who were once on my side but are now effectively serving the other side's interests."
By the way, I did present the actual post from Trump. It was embedded in the ZeroHedge article. For whatever reason, I can't get his Truth Social posts to copy over as is possible with Twitter.
In any case, neither one of us is going to convince the other on what to me is a question of semantics and what to you goes beyond semantics.
I think, like it or not, there are what might be called teams...or whatever word you want to use...on the American scene nowadays. (I mean, we all like to think we're on Team USA after all.)
The reality is that one team espouses a Jacobin platform of radical positions that are alien to this country's traditions, hostile to its history, and founded on a philosophy of moral relativism where "truth" is defined as whatever serves the interests of the Party. It's been called "soft totalitarianism."
Another team consists of those with characters good and bad, intellects smart and dumb...holding a variety of views but almost all of them in keeping with American traditions and norms...and proceeding from the core moral premise, foundational to Western Civilization, that we don't get to choose our own reality or own Truth.
The third team, probably a plurality, is possessed of those with goodhearted and decent instincts, as most people are, but is for the most part informationally clueless, philosophically unanchored, and morally adrift with the tide. This group actually decides the outcomes of elections, which is why we've seen such wild political swings over the last 20 years. I'm guessing we'll see one again in November 2026.
Final note re Epstein and the "quiet death" scenario. I have no problem at all with your view that we can't just let it go. In fact, that's where my son is coming from as well and as a biased Dad, I tend to find a lot to like in my son's opinions even when I don't totally agree with them.
But the guy who does have a problem with your take...as expressed quite, uh, forcefully yesterday...is Trump. So really your argument on Epstein is not with me but rather with the President. I trust you realize that.
Excuse me Mary but your argument that systematic rape of minors who were kept as sex slaves against their will by potentially a government operative (Israeli or otherwise) should just be forgotten is poor. I don't care if you want to call me names (useful idiots) or that you think this somehow takes our eyes off the target as if we can only do one thing at a time. Letting it just disappear is evil. It is allowing evil to win because you want something else. Doing the wrong thing because it is convenient is never right. This issue needs to be appropriately addressed. The argument that it somehow takes away from the rest of your goals is just dumb. Address it in an appropriate way. Hold those who committed crimes against minors accountable.The FBI and justice department have had this info for years. Comey's daughter was in charge, no friend of Trump. No charges have ever been filed. Prima faces evidence that Trump is right. This is just another Democrat hoax to take our eyes off the target. WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!! USEFUL IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!

I have not devoted my life to studying slime. FACT! Justice and FBI have had all data for years. A Trump enemy was the Fed prosecutor in charge. No one has ever been charged. That is prima faced evidence that this is mostly a hoax. How many girl scout badges were found at Epstein's estate? LMAOROFL. USEFUL IDIOTS!

Mary, whatever helps you sleep at night. There are clearly many minor victims, and many had come forward on multiple occasions. All of that is documented. How is there all of these victims and crimes but no one has ever been identified and prosecuted for committing the sex crimes on those minor victims?I have not devoted my life to studying slime.

Man you don’t let things go and are a miserable person. This reminds me of your tow truck posts on the rivals site.

I offered an opportunity for Jerry to come clean on misrepresenting what Trump said. He chose to double down on misrepresenting. That doesn't make me miserable; I actually have a pretty amazing life and am very happy. It does make me consistent and I'm being honest with him. I trust him less as a poster and a person. If you can't be honest about what someone else says, then how good is your word?Man you don’t let things go and are a miserable person. This reminds me of your tow truck posts on the rivals site.

No prosecutions = HOAX Why would Comey's daughter and FBI agents not bring prosecutions for crines. There are dozens of people involved, all of whom would have to conspire for your statements and assumptions to be true. Russiagate was "real" too.Mary, whatever helps you sleep at night.

I'm not going to try to misrepresent what you post. I may disagree with most of what you think but I won't intentionally try to misrepresent it.
You are dishonest. Most of the board acknowledges this. You'll be my first ignore because your posts have zero value.Right, fake real estate mogul and fake scientist. When someone lies, and won't own up to it, it makes you think less of them as a poster and a person.
Remember, amidst all your other lies, when you said you were leaving the other board and never coming back ... and then you came back?
No wonder everyone can't think less of you, and can't trust you less.

My degrees and my experience as an instructor and later as my department's laboratory program director at one of the top universities in the country are in a hard science. I also do own a number of rental properties, and I retired comfortably in my early 40s. Why is this so difficult to believe and what reason would I have to make that up?
Get lost loser. Onto ignore you go.

Tens of thousands of teenaged girls are having sex with rich adults every week. Sadly, statutory rape is among the most common crimes.
