Ohhh so you state that Trump calls ALL news outlets except Fox fake news and get a response stating that is a flat out lie....not that YOU are a liar but rather the claim is a lie and you claim you are being called names?? Got it.....it was a nice try though LOL

For the far bigger picture I'm not hopping around. I recently responded to a want ad, I look at trades, I look at it all. The fact remains the general procedure for most is to do what I stated. Thank you for stating that YOU don't care for the announcement thing either, just like the vast majority don't and wade through them with the general procedure to just see all the ads. Give it a rest, at least please leave me out of the endless loop around the main idea in what seems to be a required last word. Please. Thank you.

Actually Neil given your responses I dont give a rats ass if you feel insulted when the goal here was to be helpful over what should be a NON-issue.....Perhaps had you simply said you knew this info to start with rather than all the snidery this wouldnt have drawn out......You implied that the the work around I pointed out wasnt available when you use the "list all" function not me. It is and now you claim you knew it was and knew how to use it. So be insulted all you like lol

I have applied that philosophy to Trump from the start..... I started out not caring for him at all and still dont regarding his behavior at times. The results however have won me over for the most part.

A lie is a still a lie....whether you are making it or just repeating it.....trying to twist that into name calling is nothing more than transparent whining because you cant defend it.

Facts are facts, your claim is NOT true, does that taste better? lol

I find it both informative and entertaining that someone who claims they never watch FOX or CNN can claim to KNOW so much about their political perspectives and make so many definitive statements about them lol

Just when I was beginning to think Gerald was the winner of the most idiotic post award for this month you wander back in with a ringer Russ

Only one day left in the contest this month......and Russ is leading by a nose smile

I can live with that Russ..... I would point out though if Trump continues his winning streak you have not got a snow balls chance in hell smile

Besides, you have no idea how many times I am going to vote lol

Russ was able to catch the code words in real time speed, and it was clear that Trump was also blinking "this economy was going down a black hole under Barack Obama". If you slow some of his tapes down you'll see it too.  

I've heard that one time Trump also blinked "Burn those crosses".  

His racism is as obvious as the day is long.  Russ is just more enlightened than you and I...  shocked  

Ok.....you win the snicker doodle for this month LOL

In the case of Trump, his most recent action was the tweet about the white nationalist racist conspiracy theory about the targetting of White Farmers in South Africa for killings by South Africa's black majority.

Here is a just a short and incomplete list of people that Trump has attacked with racially charged language or actions he has taken that stoke racial anxiety only since 2016. His aberrant and disgusting behavior, of course, far predates his political career.

Black and Jewish professionals

Elizabeth Warren

Obama and birtherism

Mexican Immigrants specifically

Immigrants in general

Hispanic Judges

Muslims

Somali refugees

Welfare recipients

Haitians and Nigerians and Puerto Ricans

The pardon of Joe Arpaio

NFL protests

Charlottesville rally

The "Pretty Korean Lady" incident

Sh!th@loe countries

Building a list of either wholly manufactured or twisted examples?.....good idea smile
