    There were discussions on it. The problem was using the same term that the vulgar protesters used for the hats.

    Would the interwebz have contained enough bandwidth?

    You provided no evidence to support this claim. It is not an isolated incident of the kinds of things going on because of this bogus claim of election fraud.


    Yes. I don't direct anyone at all in threads I start. They can evolve as they may.
    That's one difference between you and me. I bet there's even two of them!


    Not false. You mentioned that this guy was funded. The people who attacked Rand Paul were also funded. That is the equivalency.
    That's one thing they have in common. I bet there's even two of them!


    Again, I don't direct threads whatsoever. If people go off on a tangent, that's their choice. I can choose to ignore the tangent.
    You can. And I can choose not to do so, which is what I'm doing. Now, if you're done embarrassing yourself for Rand Paul I guess you can wait for your next chance to display your "discernment." But I'd kindly request you to stay remotely relevant to the OP.

    If the very first post is "I doubt it" without actually reading the link I posted then I'm going to call it out. Is that really such a draconian rule?
    Yes. I don't direct anyone at all in threads I start. They can evolve as they may.

    Your first post to this thread dismisses everything in the OP with "Isolated incident." and then immediately tries for false equivalency.

    Am I really out of line for considering a two work blanket dismissal (just as you did in that other thread with 0 words) not in the spirit of the thread?

    Again, your threads are too restrictive unless you want to deviate. I'm not interested in that.

    Yes, I could, but I don't.

If you want to discuss my requests to stay on topic feel free to create a thread in the panic room or whatever it's called.
    Except the mods told you that in fact you could not kick people out of that thread for daring to question your anonymous sources. Sorry bud..

    Another example of supporters of Trump/GOP losing touch with reality. It's rather sad really, isn't it? I wonder what percentage of those 65+ million who voted for Trump are denying reality?

    . . . but you can't. I previous used actual data records. You have provided nothing.
