* Don't worry, this will be the one time that I expose you as a racist, I'm not MDB who will re-hashing words from forum archives any opportunity that arises into eternity.

So a couple of things picked up this evening.

- Trump says that the money to fund his triste came from him and not from the campaign fund. This interview will be aired tomorrow on Fox. So a billionaire businessman paid off a hooker with his own funds, colour me shocked! The Clintons used to scream that someone's personal matters is not an impeachable offense, the hypocrisy by the Democrats. Funny that Lanny Davis who has close ties with the Clintons now represent the snake Michael Cohen. How fitting, the deep state continues. Many are saying that what Trump did was not a crime at all and should not be an impeachable offense. Also, as Trump's attorney, wasn't it Cohen's responsibility is to make sure that matters such as these be handled in a legal way? And what happened to client-attorney privilege? I guess all that goes out the window when your balls get squeezed by a phony and biased probe.

- When Mollie Tibbetts went missing, this story was high profile and aired all over the MSM. Now that it is out that she was murdered by an illegal immigrant, they go slient and barely cover it because it doesn't fit their narrative. Fox News was the only cable outlet to air the arraignment of Mollie Tibbett's murderer in court today.

- Immigration is going to be a huge topic come the midterms. I hope that the Dems continue their initiative to abolish ICE and promote open borders. This could spell disaster for them. By then this bogus Russian Probe should have fizzled out or if it hasn't, the people will realize that Mueller has nothing on Trump regarding collusion. I'm not making any predictions but just saying...

The topics that matter most to Americans are the economy and immigration. Both of these Trump has a strong grasp and stance on. The stuff that the left are attacking him on are total nonsense.


You get upset at me "rehashing" words?

You called gays and lesbians **** ing defective.

You called transgender people mentally ill and said you would beat your son's ass if he ever came out to you that he was trans.

Instead of getting upset at me for throwing your own words back in your face, you need to recognize how **** ed up you are, you bigoted, racist anti black piece of ****

**** you. I could give a damn if a mod thinks your racist, bigoted crap should be tolerated in this thread. **** you.

Is it for sure that he's really Canadian? Or simply, an average Canadian?

I mean, based on the average of those I've met, most Canadians are fairly mellow, polite, and most importantly, relatively unassuming about the goings-on in other countries.

Seems like the further you'd get from someone like that, the more you get in to rabid extremist territory, which of course could represent a bunch of people from a bunch of different places. For example, I'm thinking a lot of the super-right Euros are probably looking at America's Trump situation with a good degree of rabid envy. They hardly need to spend much energy trying to understand it all, as it's no doubt easy fuel for their agendas.

Or he could simply be an alt-righter, utterly devoid of morals and principles as I keep observing, masquerading as someone from a different place merely to seem more legit / balanced.


There's no need to play devil's advocate. he's an alt right racist trying to pretend that he's not because for some reason when you call these racist ass holes out for who they really are they get offended and pretend that they aren't.

Unfortunately it's too late, however I didn't start it with the childish name-calling and racist accusations. Apparently, anybody that supports the Republicans or I should say supports one guy; the POTUS Donald Trump on a political forum is automatically deemed a racist. It doesn't matter if it's because they oppose the views of the Dems, it's because they are alt-right racists. It's pretty sad to see America so divided in this regard. It makes you wonder who the real anti-fascists are.

For me, it's more about a left vs right idealology more than it is about race but certain members here always want to make it out to be about race. I don't think I could ever vote left again even in Canada, made the mistake of voting for Liberal Justin Trudeau for the sake of change....If I only knew how much of a cuck he was.

I enjoy following U.S. politics, much beter drama than what we have up here. Most Canadians don't even know who the leader of the Conservative party in Canada is right now. But one thing that they do parrot up here alot is the narrative pushed by the mainstream media perpetrated by the left. It's sickening.

At first I thought this was cool, but then the end result is that you just gave free reign for this ass hole to spew a bunch of racist, anti black bull **** on here. I'm not going to sit here, be a member of this forum and read garbage that insinuates that the reason why people who look like me should be shot dead is because a minority of the overall black population engages in crime, just like the rest of every racial/ethnic grouping in society. Nope.

that isn't your fault because you gave this prick the benefit of a doubt, but all it led to was him not even attempting to refute any points being made and him just spouting racist, alt right garbage (which is his typical behavior pattern). So I'm just going to curse the racist piece of **** mother **** er out from here on out *shrugs*

Technically, you did long ago calling everyone a "cuck" and not even knowing what it truly means. It's very typical of Trump supporters who lack critical thinking such as yourself to fall for dog whistles and buzz words like that and "Deep State", "mainstream media", etc. .

Apparently, anybody that supports the Republicans or I should say supports one guy; the POTUS Donald Trump on a political forum is automatically deemed a racist. It doesn't matter if it's because they oppose the views of the Dems, it's because they are alt-right racists. It's pretty sad to see America so divided in this regard. It makes you wonder who the real anti-fascists are.


Trump has decades, as far back as the 70s, worth of documented instances of racism. It's not a good look when neo-Nazis and the KKK wear his merchandise and share the same values as Trump and you. I deem it very passable for others to call you a "racist" and a "bigot".

Let the record state that just because you and Tinman are two piece of **** Lin trolls it doesn't reflect poorly on good people such as Roy Tarpley, a Lin fan who has consistently posted on here in good faith and has denounced your collective ignorance.

You two seem like the type that were calling Kenyon Martin the N word after he made those ridiculous statements about Lin's hair a year ago. outright anti black racist pricks.

Hmm no, you're afraid that you'll out yourself as a racist and a bigot and endanger yourself with actual face-to-face confrontation. So instead of facing the harsh reality that your views are pathetically outdated, you think to yourself if you don't talk to those people, you could continue to look down on them hopelessly denying that 1.) they're better people than you and 2.) they can probably kick your ass. Can't blame you for keeping your views to yourself in a public setting.

So, I see that adding a user to "Foes" hides their content, but there's still an annoying notification whenever they post.


@Rich Rane,
From my time as an admin on a vBulletin forums, I remember you could hack in a custom 'superignore' feature that hid any signs of an ignored user's activity.

Do you guys have a relationship with the admins here to inquire about such a thing? "Superignore" would certainly be pretty handy for weeding out obvious trolls and bigots in threads like these.

Absoultely not because

1) I am not a racist nor a bigot

2) Nobody is better than another because they share different political views.

3) I highly doubt that any of them could kick my ass even collectively. I've fought MMA in my younger days, am a BJJ purple belt and have extensive boxing/muay thai training as well. They are all fat-asses (not that there's anything wrong with that).

I do not share my political views at the workplace because I am smart. There is nothing positive to be gained by doing so.

Thought you'd get a kick out of this:

- The immigrant, Cristhian Rivera, was here legally.
- Rivera has lived in Iowa for four to seven years, working at Yarrabee Farms, a Brooklyn, Iowa-area farm owned by the family of Craig Lang, a prominent Iowa Republican.
- Craig Lang has verified that Rivera is in Iowa legally, according to Richards' [Rivera's attorney] motion.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2018/08/22/mollie-tibbetts-undocumented-immigrant-suspect/1060204002/

So basically Trump politicized a murder and fed it to people like you and as expected you were so easily manipulated into falling for it. Well done. :clap:

Thought you'd get a kick out of this:

- The immigrant, Cristhian Rivera, was here legally.
- Rivera has lived in Iowa for four to seven years, working at Yarrabee Farms, a Brooklyn, Iowa-area farm owned by the family of Craig Lang, a prominent Iowa Republican.
- Craig Lang has verified that Rivera is in Iowa legally, according to Richards' [Rivera's attorney] motion.

So basically Trump politicized a murder and fed it to people like you and as expected you were so easily manipulated into falling for it. Well done. :clap:


Trump is going off on information that was fed to him. As per the aricle:

“What we based everything off of as far as saying he is an illegal alien is we worked with Homeland Security Investigations and they have him as an illegal alien,” Mortvedt said. “DCI doesn’t work immigration stuff so anytime this stuff comes up we defer to them.”

I will wait to get official ruling on his immigration status but it does not change the fact how horrible of an act he commtted. Why did the MSM decide to tune-out after they realized or thought he was an undocumented immigrant?

My point is still valid that the MSM only pushes stories that fit their narrative.

You have the same socially political views as neo-Nazis and the KKK. Pretty sure that qualifies.

2) Nobody is better than another because they share different political views.


You support someone who's had documented incidents of racism since the 1970s. And the other side of that is not supporting someone who's had documented incidents of racism since the 1970s. Pretty sure you don't have a leg up on the morals side here.

3) I highly doubt that any of them could kick my ass even collectively. I've fought MMA in my younger days, am a BJJ purple belt and have extensive boxing/muay thai training as well. They are all fat-asses (not that there's anything wrong with that).


Please tell us how you also beat Gretzky one-on-one and turned down a starting spot with the Raptors because Toronto is too liberal.
