I have a serious question. Why are posters
Posted: Aug 7, 2017
Nothing else to do with their time? It is so sad that MTs stoop to the level of arguing for the sake of argument and no one is going to be moved by their attacks on Trump or Obama. Reading angry posts on presidential vacations is beyond my understanding. Could someone who is caught up in this explain why subject is important to them and what they hope to achieve.
Thanks.

Can I ask, why did you start another post - about vacations?
[ In Reply To ..]If you don't want to address a post about Trump and his vacations, then why start another post about it,just pass through and don't address. If you want to address the original post and answer why people think it is okay that Trump take way more golfing trips and vacations than Obama, while everybody complained about Obama, including Trump, then feel free to explain. Obama also did not benefit his business by taking his golf trips as Trump does. Since you felt you wanted to bring up the vacations, then answer those questions.
BO never had a business, nor a job, just was a - senator for 10 minutes
[ In Reply To ..]before fools voted him in as POTUS.
Well the fools - sm
[ In Reply To ..]this time around voted in a morally and at least 4 times business bankrupt conman, so I'd say we're even.
My post is specifically why anyone cares - about presidential vacations
[ In Reply To ..]And spend hours arguing about it. What do you hope to achieve bashing Obama's or Trump's vacation time. Just venting or nothing else to do during your day?
For 8 long years the Pubs bashed everything Obama did, including vacations - Hypocrites
[ In Reply To ..]Now when Trump is well on track to spend multiple times more time and taxpayer dollars than Obama did, all while Trump profiting his personal money bin, the Pubs are twiddling their thumbs and asking "why are you concerned?"
It is sickening. There--you got a serious answer.
So you are venting? And you are in - pay-back mode?
[ In Reply To ..]Seriously, what is the point of arguing about Trump versus Obama vacation time?
Just pointing out the hypocrisy. - nm
[ In Reply To ..].
There are some people so fixated and obsessed - with
[ In Reply To ..]everything Trump that they cannot comprehend that there is life outside of their Resist/NeverTrump/ImpeachTrump movements. Sad, isn't it?
Not really - OABO
[ In Reply To ..]The saddest thing is the conman we have in the White House. I thought we bottomed out with Richard Nixon but once again I was wrong. My original post was a bit of a tease since, as another poster said, right-wingers went on for years about Obama's vacations and now are amazingly silent about Trump's. Frankly, I don't think vacations are a serious issue while I do think the chaos and dysfunction in the WH are very serious. However, whenever I try to bring up a serious issue I get no coherent response from the other side - only insults like the nonsensical "liberal fascist" or snowflake, sore loser and the like.
Most of the information you hear/read is fake. - That is why
[ In Reply To ..]there is no reason to have a continued discussion with liberals who don't get it. The liberal media is spinning garbage and the liberals are lapping it up.
Perfect example: The NYT claims Pence is positioning himself for a 2020 presidential run. That is #FAKENEWS!
Got it? I hope so. There are other, more important things we can all discuss and hopefully have civil discourse about instead of the childhood gotcha games of the liberals.
How do you know it is fake news? One could not...sm - VTMT
[ In Reply To ..]blame him for getting his ducks in a row and testing the waters if he sees the writing on the wall and thinks a 2020 run might be in the cards for whatever reason.
Pretty arrogant - OABO
[ In Reply To ..]to think that you have a straight line to the truth and the rest of us are simpletons.
Why? That's the way Liberal Fascists post - all the time.
[ In Reply To ..]Arrogance abounds in their posts...but short on facts.
I thought the same about Jimmy Carter, keeping things - in perspective.
[ In Reply To ..]xx
Hello? Jimmy Carter is exactly the opposite of a con man. sm - oldtimer
[ In Reply To ..]and the exact opposite in every way of Donald Trump.
It's all politics. Nothing of substance. Pay attention to what's - going on in the background,
[ In Reply To ..]not the daily circus.
I wonder if or when we could approaching the Archduke Ferdinand event that takes the world to war (NK and China). We’re certainly due. The Fourth Turning Crisis should arrive around 2020, plus or minus a few years.
It's hard to see the background because in front there is a bloated dysfunctional trump - nm

Not everything is about politics, I mean unless you - want it to be.
[ In Reply To ..]x
Don't let the demagogues keep you from focusing on - what's going on. We have a bloated
[ In Reply To ..]and dysfunctional govt and every attempt to get back to our founding is met with strong resistance. The law of balances in nature says this cannot continue forever.
Just ignore the little flies in the ointment. Focus on the bigger picture.
Flies - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Remember those files that used to land on Obama's face? Ewwww....
Some landed on Hillary's mug, too!
That was funny. I actually laughed out loud at the fake - sign language guy at Mendella's
[ In Reply To ..]funeral. Remember that?
Remember when a fly got stuck in Trump's hair spray? - nm
[ In Reply To ..].
I think that one fly took residence up Obama's nose. - nm
[ In Reply To ..]nm
They cost money, our money - and that means the president
[ In Reply To ..]is doing something besides his job.
Now, with this particular president, I am not sure that letting him stay on permanent vacation would not be the best for the country---at almost any cost. So, you won't see me complaining.
But, yes, I find it hypocritical and ironic that the Republican/MT sorts don't find it near as offensive that Trump is vacationing and golfing. Even Trump criticized Obama golfing...and now is doing the same. Maybe he has memory loss. I am certain he is impaired, maybe that is a symptom.

Question For Travel-savvy PostersApr 03, 2012
I have not flown in years....scarily, not since the availability of the internet, have I traveled except for driving in my car.

Thank You To All PostersJul 14, 2012
I wanted to thank you all for your posts. It has been a pleasure to read the posts without the insults and want to thank everyone for their partiicipation. We may not all agree on everything, but there is no reason we can't have a discussion without insults and over the past few days has been nice to see that. One other thing I ask.

Posters need to remember this is a political board for discussion of political topics. Keep your opinions about other posters off the board. Settle your personal grievances off the board, not on it. A lot of issues are being discussed, but in between there are posters who don’t like other posters and keep going after them. If you have a problem with certain posters just don’t read their posts. Don’t come on the board to tell everyone you don’ ...

Rude, accusatory, insulting, name calling, condescending, smart allecky, "I know better than you", "you need to educate yourself", and any type of post like that is either being edited or deleted.

This is a political board for discussion of political issues. This board is not for general messages claiming posters are being run off the board. Do not post a generic message telling new posters to not get discouraged, etc. Insults are coming from all sides. One party does not dominate over another when insults are being thrown.

Reading some of the messages and emails I have received I wanted to bring attention to the fact that posts are going past reasonable. It is one thing to call a poster a racist, it is another to state they have committed an act of treason, or is a treasoner. Treason is a serious crime and should not be used lightly, or rather at all. Accusing someone of treason has its consequences and posters can be held responsible if someone files a formal complaint (i.e. lawsuit) against the ...

Invoking the fear of turning someone into Homeland Security is wrong, especially when a poster wrote not ...
