> [@wolfpup](#): > > You don’t seem happy here. May I suggest the simple expedient of just leaving? I assure you that you won’t be missed. You’ve never posted anything worth reading and you never will, because you’re an imbecile. Even your trolling is tedious. So just go. Do not turn around, do not look back, do not let the door hit your ass on the way out. Just kindly fuck off and be gone. I can only imagine the amount time it takes for y’all to mentally masterbate here on this forum, thinking up new phrases and quips to put down anyone who challenges your liberal views. And it must be frustrating not to be able keep out those damn irritating conservatives that keep popping up. They just won’t go away, mom, and there’s 70 million of them! Where’s that liberal tolerance you’re so identified with? Peace, love, sharing and equality? All I see here is haters with tunnel vision, unable to see the good. What a sad bunch of people. All you can hear is yourselves. ---

You aren’t required to respond and give me the “attention I so desperately crave”, but you did. What does that say about your motivation? ---

Hey @songsearch, go rant in the Clusterfuck thread. Between your prolific posterizing and all the sumptuous trollfeeding you are collecting, we can get that thread to its quota of 10000 posts by noon Wednesday! ---

As more information comes out, it is certainly looking like an attempted coup. [Rioter planned attack with militia, wanted to trap lawmakers and ‘turn on gas’: Prosecutors](https://abcnews.go.com/US/capitol-rioter-allegedly-posted-pelosis-office-instagram-arrested/story?id=75324078). “Thomas Edward Caldwell is identified in an FBI affidavit as a member of the Oath Keepers. An agent alleges that he helped organize a group of eight to 10 of his fellow members to storm the Capitol with the intention of disrupting the counting of the Electoral College vote.” “Thomas Edward Caldwell is identified in an FBI affidavit as a member of the Oath Keepers. An agent alleges that he helped organize a group of eight to 10 of his fellow members to storm the Capitol with the intention of disrupting the counting of the Electoral College vote.” This wasn’t just a bunch of idiots, it was a concerted effort by at least some of them, to stop the electoral process and damage our democracy. Sure, not everyone was in on the plan, but to pretend it wasn’t an attempted coup by at least some is just ignoring the evidence that is coming out. ---

I’m genuinely curious to know what that reason is. Seriously. I’m seriously trying to understand the opposition’s point of view and the reasons for it. But it seems that’s not allowed. It appears the reason most of you are here is to shout down anybody who disagrees with you. Well, ok. Sticks and stones and all that, I’m old enough to take it. ---

In theory, but when I used that on my phone, the post showed up with something like “strong text” written in instead of bolding the “u.” ---

> [@songsearch](#): > > I’m seriously trying to understand the opposition’s point of view and the reasons for it. But it seems that’s not allowed That’s fascinating. Are you really having trouble figuring out why many of us were not completely happy with the Presidency of Donald Trump? Feel free to ask specific questions if you like. The _Clusterfuck_ and _How has Donald Trump Pissed you off today?_ threads should also give you some insight. ---
