LMK what you find out, Sherlock. Look, nice try, but you made way too many mistakes. We’re not stupid. You’re at least a pair of trolls if not a pair of matching socks. I laugh when the two of you have conversations on line here. You’re probably talking to yourself. ---

I really don’t care if you think PC and I are the same person. BUT! I 've seen the error of my ways, thank you for pointing them out. NC was obviously terribly put upon, I hope she sues, collects millions of dollars, puts the company out of business, and has that horrid woman put in prison for talking to her. Again thank you so much for setting me straight. I feel I’m a better person now, I have seen the light. I was blind but now I see. ---

So desperate for attention. Maybe the “smartest man in the room” gambit will prompt a response from us. As the weatherman says, keep fuckin’ that chicken. ---

You’re embarrassing trolls ever where. I’m guessing there is a miserable back story which causes you to defend Nawth’s indefensible hypersensitivity? So far not one of you (or are you all NC’s socks, Hmmm???) Is willing to defend her complaint. Can someone enlighten me before I flounce? How is annoying small talk equal to harrassment? ---

Go ahead and flounce. I seriously doubt that will hurt any more than landing in the cornfield with your gear up will hurt. Ask Santa for a copy of “Trolling for Dummies.” Pay particular attention to the part about being smarter than your audience, then choose correctly next time. ---

I guess you’ll just have to take me at my word that I am NOT trying to troll or “just ask questions” - the latter implying that I’m asking the question disingenuously, to try to undermine the critics of Trump. And I get how it could be taken that way. “If they’re wrong to criticize Trump for this, they’re wrong to criticize him for other things too.” No. Trump is a pile of shit. I take no issue with any of the substantive criticisms of his policies, his character flaws (which are numerous enough to comprise a treatise on narcissistic personality disorder), his blatant pandering to bigots, and just the fact that he is a total embarrassment to the office. There is one guy who I’m friends with on Facebook who has been re-posting that image of Trump supposedly mocking the disabled reporter for the past year. I saw it and I remembered - as I do every time I see it - that I thought _that_ particular criticism was reaching. So I thought I’d see what others had to say. That’s it. Seriously. I lurked on this board for about a year before registering, so I know what the concept of “just asking questions” means. I am not trying to do it. Seriously. Obviously I can’t force you to believe me…but if that were my intention, you’d see other such threads from me in the future. You’re not going to. There is literally nothing else in Trump’s litany of bullshit that I feel any compulsion to play Devil’s Advocate for. ---
