That Trump thread is a joke (IMHO)

    Unfortunately only the banned posters and the mods have a ful picture of what the bans are for and the banned posters have no reason to be completely honest. Even the original accusation from the OP is full of conjecture complaining about an imagined mass reporting of posters who are pro trump.

    “the banned posters have no reason to be completely honest.”

    Really? Pray do continue.

    Like when all the Trump fanboys were 'civil and tolerant' when he won on both occasions?

    They're more than welcome to come into the thread defend his record. Thing is, they can't. So instead of holding their hands up they hide from the thread like the cowards they are. Even when there is a slight small win, they come into the thread, boast about it, and then start crying when they're challenged having said nothing about every time he lost or chickened out.

    Cost of living is up across the planet because of his fuckery in the Middle East.

    Or does that fact only exist on propaganda media?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,707 ✭✭✭FAILSAFE 00


    The thread imo is far too lob sided.

    If you dare to express an opinion that doesn't align with the lynch mob you are labelled with vile insults.

    The thread appears to be really a hate campaign.

    Everytime I post I am given lengthy suspensions (2-3 months) with incrediblely weak reasoning.

    In one banning my behaviour was labelled as personal abuse even though I didnt mention any individual poster.

    There needs to be more healthy discussion. Conspiracy theories, hateful photoshopped images, vile insults, etc, need to go.

    The real toxic trait of the thread is assuming that anyone that doesn't buy into the hate campaign is simply trolling because how could someone disagree with their hateful rhetoric.

    My own opinion is I dont believe her. And I am entitled to hold that opinion.

    A civil trial that didnt have enough evidence to be tried in a criminal court.

    An author with everything to gain with a book coming out.

    Posters wave it around like it was a criminal trial



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,979 ✭✭✭For Petes Sake


    So go into the thread and defend his record.

    That doesn't mean you get to go in there and say what you like without being challenged on it.

    Fact of the matter is his actions are causing ruination for many lives across the world. If you think that's mean and unfair well then that's a problem for you, quite frankly.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 342 ✭✭What.Now


    The hate, conspiracies, vile photoshopped images originate from Trump. Are we to just to talk about his rational deeds. If so there would be no thread.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,707 ✭✭✭FAILSAFE 00


    Its impossible to do when I am banned for 2-3 months everytime I post.

    I get a handful of posts per year on that thread and if I present my opinion I am lynched with vile insults and mass reporting.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,944 ✭✭✭Jack Daw


    Is there any evidence that Donald Trump is a paedophile?

    He gets referred to as such constantly on that thread yet far as I can remember he isn't one.

    Why are the mods not censuring people for that or removing posts.If it is Ok to refer to Trump as a paedophile because you don't like him can we assume the same can be done with other public figures on boards?

    The people on the Trump thread who post constantly on it really are a sad bunch it would probably do alot of them some good if they were banned from it.It really isn't healthy to be so obsessed with someone they dislike and to spend so much time thinking about him and venting on a public forum, they;d be far better off to get some real hobbies.

    “Like when all the Trump fanboys were 'civil and tolerant' when he won on both occasions?”

    Was that the time when the 2024 election results were confirmed, when a few posters- after months of abuse even suggesting that Trump has a chance of winning, and suffering bans from moderators who quite frankly didn’t have a fcking clue what was going on but decided to go with the crowd and bam anyone suggesting that Trump might actually fcking win the election - decided to mock the pr1cks who caused them months of grief?

    If so, Yes, I was one of those posters -I did mock the pr1cks who shut down any conversation around an alternative outcome to Harris winning the election and just like MAGA, the very organisation they were apparently so against, they acted like total fcking fools and were shown up as such.

    But no- “Trump Supporter” is their only response. A response about as intelligent as a MAGA supporter.

    You could say this about many threads though, depending on the interest of the posters. There are posters that are every day posting in the immigration or transgender threads, doesnt mean they are obsessed, just that they have an interest in the topic.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 132 ✭✭dp22250


    Facts and propaganda media don’t belong in the same sentence.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 24,728 ✭✭✭✭Tell me how


    Exactly. Since you should edit your original misleading post.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 18,071 ✭✭✭✭astrofool


    The Epstein documents had reports of ephebophile behavior that slipped through the retractions. Most people don't differentiate the two (similar for SA vs. rape for example).

    It's also an area where trump hasn't been shouting about lawsuits.

    It would probably help the trump supporters of they engaged in good faith on topics like Iran, the job market/reports or budget deficits rather than pretending they don't know anything about all of them, despite it being all they talked about during the last administration.

    You're 'lynched' are you?

    That's very dramatic. You expect to have a civil, tolerant discussion and you come in with dramatic hyperbole like that.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,707 ✭✭✭FAILSAFE 00


    If the documents contained a whiff of Trump the dems would have used it during his campaign



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 18,912 ✭✭✭✭fritzelly


    Welcome to the DT Megathread off to the side where the Trump supporters still feel persecuted even though they have no argument to substantiate their claims



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,707 ✭✭✭FAILSAFE 00


    Thats a bit rich when we cant even post on the thread thanks to your buddies in moderation.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,707 ✭✭✭FAILSAFE 00


    I dislike political violence.

    This is how it happens. An echo chamber of hate were critics are silenced and posters work themselves into a frenzy.

    We are on our 3rd assassination attempt now.

    Ever thought you might be on the wrong side of history supporting him?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,707 ✭✭✭FAILSAFE 00




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,707 ✭✭✭FAILSAFE 00


    Ever thought you might be?

    Also… "support Trump" who said I support him. Not every thing is black & white.

    I dislike political violence and the left are out of control.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,979 ✭✭✭For Petes Sake


    Lol, you dislike political violence but you've no problem supporting someone who mocks victims of political violence.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 375 ✭✭Tacitus Kilgore DCLXVI


    Outside the cultists and the people that are materially benefiting from his regime, I don't think anyone in their right mind would claim that someone not supporting Trump is putting them on the wrong side of history.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,379 ✭✭✭✭pjohnson


    You can post just dont break the feckin rules. Its not that hard. I know constantly playing victim is a key part of the shtick but its comical.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 31,681 ✭✭✭✭looksee


    Over the past 30 or so pages of the Trump thread any posts you made were brief comments about posters and what you thought of them. You don't seem to have posted for a while, so maybe you have been banned, there is no indicaton that you were banned. Anyway your contribution to the discussion, in no case that I could find, made any direct reference to Trump, his policies or behaviour. All were just digs at other posters, so not exactly valuable to the conversation.

    Can you link us to any post by you where you gave a considered opinion directly in defence of Trump or his policies?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,944 ✭✭✭Jack Daw


    As much as I would have liked the epstein files to be real and list a load of wronguns and what they were doing so it could have them locked up , they were a complete pile of shite, veiled references with no real evidence to back them up and every single famous person in the world appears to have been mentioned in them.

    Again what actual evidence is there that Trump is a paedophile? Is it acceptable if other public figures people don;t like are referred to as such on boards seeing as it's ok to call Trump a paedo despite their being no evidence of it. Are we allowed to refer to Trumps predecessor as one on boards seeing as there are videos of him sniffing the hair of children?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,633 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    Evidence linking Trump to being a nonce:

    He is engaged in a cover up of the Epstein files. Why?

    He has joked about drawing fhe line at 12 year olds.

    There are some creepy comments about and photos of him and his then underage daughter looking v uncomfortable.

    Rolling Stone has witnesses attesting to him lurking in the changing rooms as minors undress at Miss Teen America.

    All of this is documented on the main thread.

    So why is this something posters on Boards give a damn about or think needs more moderation?

    I suppose if Biden was an adjudicated sex offender, had multiple other rape and sexual abuse allegations against him and was best friends with someone who operated a massive child abuse ring.

    Then yeah I suppose it would be okay to call Biden that.
