2016 Presidential Horse Race

Meanwhile...they don't matter.

They don't want to see Trump with 310 Electoral votes in a landslide.

 

[NorthDakota]

Well, the 30% of Hispanic kids with parents that voted for Trump should say so.

I really enjoyed that 30% of them voted for The Don. Not a bad clip.

 

[NorthDakota]

A California referendum to secede might actually pass. That would be the best thing to happen to this country since reconstruction.

This would excite me beyond words. 1. We could see what Federal response would occur, and 2. How they go about things

lol would never get close to passing

 

[ACamp1900]

I love this board. There are very few places on the internet where you can find civil political discourse on this level.

Oh go screw yourself....

Funny i was banned for a bit, early in the game for supporting and arguing for Trump by an anti Trumpist. This site may want to revisit who they make mods and how they can ban people.

Seems there are one or two here who like to silence people with differing opinions than theirs.

That has nothing to do with why you were banned, as was clearly documented at the time. There have been TONS of pro-Trump people on this site (it's actually the majority) as well as many on the other side.

So please don't lie. I banned you, everyone knows I banned you and the mods explained why to the board afterwards. There was a record of why. And fun fact... we all discuss a banning before it is done and come to an agreement one way or another. It's a moderator consensus. Always.

I have had many impassioned arguments with many people on this site who disagree with me. Both sides of the spectrum. Curious how if the goal is to "silence" people with differing opinions how they're all still posting here and haven't been banned. Eddy and GoIrish41 are two guys on the opposite side of the spectrum from you that are good examples of who I have gone head-to-head with, and kmoose on election day is an example of a Trump guy I did the same. Again... weird how none of them got banned. So weird.

Landslide is already there.

Please let me get the hell out of this state first, then, if it's wants it can go ahead and go full blow Chairman Mao

THere's no lie....why was i banned?
Funny i was never part of the discussion and NEVER saw an explaination, even though i've read this board AND POSTED since the minute i was banned under this name.

Would ensure Democrats would never control the executive branch again.

I've gained a lot of respect for Chris Matthews in the last 48 hours.

The best reason^

 

[Irish YJ]

Really? About one half of this board thinks that Trump said that all Mexicans are rapists and drug dealers....

Here's the quote
It's been misrepresented a lot in the media

"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best; they're not sending you," Trump said in his announcement speech. "They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."

Again, you're a liar. Or you simply chose not to read the very thread that specifically exists to post this very thing.

GK's post on the day you were banned

Loomis got some time off until the start of football season.

Reasons: (summary of post Lax made in Presidential Race thread):

He baited and antagonized other posters, and then reported their posts claiming to be the "victim" when they hit back and trying to get them banned. This is a classic troll move. The mods talked it through and looked at his posting history and agreed to monitor him, and last night was the end of the line.

We try to give a LOT of leniency in political threads because we know people are buttheads and potentially get heated. But you have to at least be trying to post something of substance to get the benefit of the doubt... you can't just spend week after week sniping at people and then trolling in every response. He also went through the effort of negging anyone who disagreed with him, even if their post was completely neutral in tone..

FYI we are trying to be transparent with our reasons for banning posters so that others may avoid making the same mistakes.

We discussed your antics from 3/27 to 3/30 in the mod forum (thread initially created by BeauBenken who was concerned over your actions) and during/after the banning to confirm everyone's thoughts. Thanks.

I wouldn't mind if they took NY with them....

 

[loomis41973]

LIAR????????? not even close.


Sorry you couldn't handle an early Trump supporter and my arguments.


Crawl back to your safe space.

 

[Bluto]

When has Rush ever advocated for racism or violence? Name one time.

We are taking about the same guy that said if we were lucky Honduras would send some of their people here to help us get our government back right?

Limbaugh isn't the only game in town firing up the looney bin. How about Micheal Savage?

Not a bad idea...it's a different universe.

So... you said...

Which was a lie. And then:

Funny i was never part of the discussion and NEVER saw an explaination, even though i've read this board AND POSTED since the minute i was banned under this name.

Which was also a lie, as I just showed you that GK posted THE EXACT REASON WHY YOU WERE BANNED in this thread: http://www.irishenvy.com/forums/leprechaun-lounge/179481-banned-users-71.html

And your response... is to deny the obvious fact that you just got caught lying (and admitting to a violation of forum rules)... and then try to troll me about safe spaces.

lol.

 

[Polish Leppy 22]

California seceding? Hahaha...please! Do it!

 

[Bluto]

Heaven forbid our laws be enforced.

By systematically harassing citizens. Ok.

 

[loomis41973]

Never saw an explaination...but wasn't real concerned enough to look for it.

It's a simple ND message board...to ban people for their political choices, choice of coach, choice of recruit, choice of AD is beyond silly. ALL opinions, no matter how good or bad in your eyes should be welcomed....It's what drives these sites

 

[calvegas04]

better than those citizens assaulting innocent people and destroying communities

 

[NorthDakota]

By systematically harassing citizens. Ok.

Then...change the law if you want? I am all for enforcing all laws. If they trimmed down the laws...I'd be cool with that too in many circumstances.

Please let me get the hell out of this state first, then, if it's wants it can go ahead and go full blow Chairman Mao

We got an extra room in our house....live in the Burbs so Wiz would approve. You work in education correct? We got plenty of teaching jobs and 3 4-year schools in town as well as some tech schools. Come on down.

[NDinL.A.]

Well, the 30% of Hispanic kids with parents that voted for Trump should say so.

Wtf? How does that even make any sense? So every school in every state, even the 22 states that didn't have exit polls, had 30% of their students' parents vote for Trump? And because of that, yelling "build a wall!" at their Latino classmates is OK?

The false equivalency is heae arguments astounds me every day, when I know I should be used to it by now. And the fact that THAT is what you took out of my post proves everything I said about you from
the jump.

And LOL at anyone who believes in exit polling. Do just a bit of research, for the love of God.

 

[Irish YJ]

Okay, so this is going to come out of nowhere, but I've been thinking about how Hillary is supposed to be this "women's champion", but there is nothing about her that makes her appear to be a strong woman. Her, along with her assistant Huma, both have husbands who have been PUBLICLY found to have been cheating on them, and yet they continue to stay with them. For everyone, this makes it obvious that the marriage is only for political gain and hardly real. In the average American's viewpoint, she is not a strong woman. She is hardly a role model for young girls. She is a sellout and a sham.

She might have won more female votes if she had divorced her husband.

/EndRant

She purposefully did not vote when she sat on the board at Walmart when it came to women's pay issues. She is a voice only for herself...

It's hard to believe they can be this tone deaf.

At least they didn't blame white men for a change... Half kidding

If you really don't think that Trump pandered to xenophobia...I don't know what to say.

Again I'm not painting Trump voters with a broad brush here.

Most of them (I hope) couldn't care less about this crap, they just want economic changes.

It disturbs me to think about families being displaced, but we need a real border, and we need enforcement of laws that exists. I truly want people to come here the right, legal way.

We do welcome a wide diversity of opinion, as long as it's expressed respectfully. If you're a belligerent asshole who's constantly posting unhinged rants, passive aggressively negging/ reporting others, etc. then it doesn't matter if Swarbrick is your uncle... you're gonna get banned.

And I'm trying real hard to think of the last worthwhile thing you posted here. All I can recall is a bunch of disrespectful sniping at mods. Oh, and you admitting to circumventing your ban, which Irish Pat was perma banned for...
