…you’ve already thanked him! Him and his daughter! It was barely a page ago!
Hello! Is anybody home?
I forsee a new SNL bit, next season:
Poster you wish you hadn’t started a conversation with at the SDMB.
No More NUKES!!!
Weird–that’s kind of my response to your calling Melania a whore. Be better than Trump.
When called on your shit-tastic behavior, you’ve just deflected. All it takes is your saying, “Y’know, you’re right, I shouldn’t do that. I won’t call women ‘whore’ as an insult going forward.” Everyone here agrees with you about the camps.
The disagreement is over whether you should use misogynistic epithets for women you disagree with.
Focus.
He ded.

No. He is angry. In fact, he is furious. You know, to the point where his thinking is affected. He is unlikely to be paying close attention to who has said what. He admits to being so angry that he can’t sleep, so that’s going to affect his thinking, too.
Sorry, but I have sympathy for him over that. Yes, he shouldn’t have called her a whore. But I know this place of deep, deep anger. And I know that calling someone an idiot isn’t going to get them to realize what’s wrong.
Rather than disingenuously telling fervour to calm down while also insulting him, I’m just going to recommend that he take some time away to feel his emotions. One rule I follow here is that, if I’m getting really angry, I get off one angry post, then I leave for a while. Even if you have a point, being that level of angry doesn’t help.
Sticking around just makes things worse. Take a break. Do something that helps you feel good or better about the world. Or even just let yourself be angry for a while.
And I don’t mean some big break. I mean just get out of the situation. Yes, I get it. The way you are being attacked makes you angrier. That isn’t helpful, though.
I have the utmost sympathy for people who get really, really angry about the injustices of the world. But I also know that staying in this thread isn’t going to help anything. This level of anger means you can’t actually “do something” either.
This isn’t me saying “calm down.” I know how that seems dismissive, and that no one can do it on command… I do 100% feel you on the children and Melania and probably other aspects of the world tearing you down. I’m actually suggesting something that can help.
You have been understood. Even the people who are attacking agree with you. So take some time for yourself.
Here endeth the lesson, we all pray.
I can’t. This is the least I can do. I appreciate it. Did you notice how pathetically few had admitted to contacting their reps? But they can post on a message board.
So say we all.
You don’t have to read. Do I have to remind you of the 2000 kids incarcerated?
If you contacted your reps, I would like to here it.
The least you can do is attack people who have contacted their reps, organized campaigns to do same, or aren’t even American? Oh, and call a woman (that I really have no sympathy for, personally) a whore.
And tell us what music you’re listening to, of course.
And yes I have.
I’ve “admitted” (what a weird fuckin word to use, by the way) to contacting my reps. So will you listen to me when I tell you to stop using misogynistic language?
Neither, apparently, is a dozen assorted posts calmly explaining the problem. This poster is either deliberately trolling us or is beyond the reach of persuasion. Sort of like Melania Trump.
By all means, keep showing empathy; that’s admirable. But while it may be ineffective to call someone an idiot who chooses to interact with others in a calculatedly confrontational manner while showing disregard (ostentatiously so) for information in the posts directed back at them, it’s also counterproductive to lecture the people who’ve been trying to correct said idiot and are now frustrated and angry.
You are not doing yourself any favors going full scold. Stick to empathy.
Here endeth the counterpoint.
Thanks. I appreciate your efforts.
Good speakers are underrated. Most people are listening on crap. They don’t cost much. Forgive me if I have refound good sound.
So where are HER fucking papers??? Oh, and no “chaining” or anchor babies… Barron can go back to Pottsylvania, with her.
Just like they want to do with all the other so-called 'anchors".
Money.
Anchor baby Barron. “Chaining” as Drumpf says. Toss them both out and send them back to Pottsylvania.
Now that is one hell of a fucking thing to ponder, from the sumbitch “you guys” (not YOU necessarily) voted for, isn’t it???
Trump has always made threats or more often always had some goon make his threats for him. Doesn’t she and Baroon have their own Secret Service detail anyway?
Melanie became a US citizen the same year Barron was born, but she had Permanent Residence status before he was born. I would assume her papers can be found at the courthouse where she was sworn in as a citizen. I believe there was some controversy about whether she had a work visa when she first started modeling in the US, but the idea that Barron is a so-called anchor baby is nonsense.
I have no sympathy for Melania, as I’ve said several times on this MB. She knew what she was getting into when she married Trump. There are enough facts to damn her with, so no need to make up stuff for that purpose.
