“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump said in 2002

 What's a "sex obsession predator"?

Try Google

If Democrats care so much about the victims, how come none of them are talking to the victims? Is it because not a single one of them implicated Trump?

FOIA request demands any and all Epstein files or communications mentioning Trump

An ex-official from former President Barack Obama’s administration is seeking the release of the Epstein files.

Norm Eisen, who served as Obama’s ethics czar, filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, asking the Department of Justice to turn over documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender who died in prison in 2019.

“The American people deserve the truth — not a government willing to refashion our democracy to shield one man from accountability,” Eisen said in a July 28 news release from the Democracy Defenders Fund (DDF), a watchdog group he founded, which submitted the requests.

Did you try Google yet?

I ask because you clearly asked a disingenuous question before changing the subject lol

That FOIA request is a good one. Forces discovery about any and all comms between Trump and DOJ and FBI. Trump will try to bury all and not comply, and a lawsuit will be forthcoming requiring discovery

Why would I Google that? It's a nonsensical phrase. I'm not a boomer. I don't waste time Googling something I know won't have relative search results. And I didn't change subjects. I remained very much on subject.

You asked. Why are you asking disingenuous questions and then changing the subject? If you ask a question, put on your big boy pants and be prepared for an answer

Do you not even realize that you aren't making sense. How old are you? Is there a possibility of dementia.

@StumpTownStu

 You asked “what’s a sex obsession predator?”

I encouraged you to try Google. 

You changed the subject. 

I then asked why you are asking disingenuous questions, as you are clearly uninterested in anyone actually answering questions you ask. The question still stands.

Now you are babbling about dementia. Yes, by all means, go get tested for dementia! You should probably get screened for dementia if you find forum threads confusing. I recommend you start with the MOCA test - that’s the test doctors are always giving Trump because they’re worried he has dementia.

@unplucked_gem

 Given the way some of you interact is this a big surprise when others try and avoid the angst and provocation in having much of ANY discussion?

There's several things to unpack here. For one, as I said before, there's no reason for me to Google "sex obsession predator". The phrase isn't in agreement. The words don't work together as they are written. To Google the phrase, exactly as written, would return unrelated results. And you're correct about one thing. My initial response was somewhat disingenuous. I know Kells meant sex obsessed predator. And he is someone I respect, and consider a friend in this space. And to mock someone, and play around with semantics, well, that isn't being a very good friend. So to him, I apologize.

To you, frankly, and again, I never changed subjects. I remained pretty darn clearly on subject. My whole reason for responding, my reason for responding to most recent threads, is that it is becoming increasingly off putting to see Covers members, of the left side of the political aisle, loosely throw around labels like sex offender, rapist, predator, and now pedophile, literally the worst thing a person can be called. In the last few days, we have had two different posters say that if you are in this forum, and a Trump supporter, you are a pedophile too. How is that allowed? Conservative posters are boxed for saying things like liberalism is a disorder but you can call an entire sect of the forum pedophiles and that's ok.

Back to this thread. If Trump is a predator, based on what? If he is obsessed with sex, based on what? The man has cheated, true. Many men do. With exception to Stormy Daniels, the man cheated once that we know of and married the woman. He doesn't seem to sleep around/chase skirts. He never went through some New York playboy phase. The man has spent the majority of his adult life married. It's baseless name calling.

As far as asking if you are suffering from dementia, pardon me. I goal was to simply ask your age and make my own inferences. Given the hour of the post, it being evening, I wasn't my sharpest.

@StumpTownStu

If you hav time read the article and it will refresh your memory!

https://19thnews.org/2023/10/donald-trump-associates-sexual-misconduct-allegations/

Im sure all these events are not fairytales! ….But what is really striking is so many of Donald Trump’s picks for cabinet positions, one might wonder why so many of his choices include men accused of sexually abusing women and girls! Do not think Matt Gaetz was slimy sleaze ball !

It all goes back to the Billy Bush interview about his approach to women: “I just start kissing them, it’s like a magnet. Just kiss. When you’re a star, they let you do it,” ….. “You can do anything,” he added. “Grab them by the box. You can do anything……He said it and decent men and women still voted him regardless, why I’ll never understand! He’s a human example of the seven deadly sins !

@unplucked_gem

 Your post #81 was an interjection, many posts all over the site are interjections and comments so you take offense when someone interjects to YOUR interjection, how is this offensive? 

You asked a DIRECT and offensive question in your message, I literally answered it and then you cuss me out again and throw the mod card. Do you have a retort or a go to outside of the bad mod card?

You did not answer the comment either which I completely addressed your assertion about the LEFT, not sure why you made the comment it is that obvious.

You are aggressive, confrontational and defensive towards the other political side, several members in your category are the same and that does not make for good conversation and discussion. When you and several others throw the LEFT LIBS tags around and then wonder why those you are offending do not reply, well it is obvious to me the reason. If you want replies and discussion then be respectful and considerate MEMBER TO MEMBER, even if you have a different political view still be respectful and reasonable in how you reply to others.

I do not think that several of you are really seeking conversation with those you disagree with because the way replies are made and we see it every day does not seem to be respectful and constructive in a way that someone you disagree with would want to interact with.

Just so we're clear on the rules, left and lib are bad.

Your side, your kinda, Maga, Maga cult member, Maggot, Trumper, Trumptard, oh, and literally calling Trump supporters pedophiles, etc, is ok? Asking for a friend.

@StumpTownStu

 Member to member...what your claim is you can report but keep in mind that there were many pedo comments during Biden and nobody was boxed or banned for that.

I would suggest to YOU also if it is too difficult to respond to someone and be respectful and considerate to that member then do not reply and just let them exist and you avoid breaking the rules.

Ok, so we're clear, if i'm offended by someone else breaking the rules, if I'm offended by a poster calling me a pedophile based on who I voted for, the onus is on me. I can report them but there we will be no warnings or boxings like the "right" gets for pretty innocuous commentary on almost a daily basis.

Multiple posters literally referred to people on the "right" as pedophiles. Literally the worst thing you can call someone. Yes, plenty have leveled that insult on Biden but no one on the "right" has ever said, "If you support Biden, you must be a pedophile too."

One of the people making these comments is my bro. And for where our relationship on this site started, to be ij a place where I call him my bro is truly amazing. I would never betray that by reporting him. And frankly, I have never reported anyone, and never will. I just would like to see consistency in moderation because this running joke that it is fair and balanced is getting old.

@StumpTownStu

 This is no different than multiple members on your side calling member LIBTARDS is it? 

So YOU are clear (again) if you think there is a member to member insult made then REPORT IT. If you cannot interact with someone without using a member to member insult please do NOT reply and interact.

So we are clear you can use a member report when someone offends you and I suggest you do that, leave the rest of the quandry to the site and whatever that means is not up to you.

Be the better poster and member yourself that is a good way to approach this for you specifically.

Just because something was accepted in the past doesn't mean it should be the standard for the future. If they said that and weren't punished, we should be bigger people and show that we won't stoop to their level. It's wrong to call people pedophiles if they aren't, also because it minimizes how serious a crime it is. It's also wrong to defend alleged pedophiles unless you have proof that they aren't (no matter if they only has been caught in normal cheating and fucking old hookers). It's also wrong to use your hatred of Biden as an excuse for Trump's behavior. This is how "normal" societies and forums are run guys . Just saying.

No, there is a difference. The difference is that these days, using the term libtard is an instant box. The moderation on this site, in this particular forum, is not fair and balanced. It is extremely biased. You can take that as a personal indictment, or as an indictment of the whole team. I'll leave it at that. No sense in beating a dead horse.

This is rich... pardon my American parlance, it's comically ironic coming from you. You are one of the nosy offensive posters on this site. Just in this thread, yoi said all Trump supporters are morons. Should you be boxed for this? I don’t think so. It's a quite tame actually. The point is this has become the sort of comment that gets people on the "right" insta-boxed. Look at unplucked recent posts. Look at his last post. Notice that he is boxed and ask yourself "why?"

@Calde13

 And to be clear, I don't find anything you write particularly offensive. I know you think posters here are thin skinned while most that you interact with regularly, myself included, don't take much of it seriously. The point i'm making is these are the types of things that are getting posters deemed "right" boxed, almost daily. My last boxing was for asking, "How is that guy still a moderator?" but yet multiple people can literally blanket call all Trump supporters "pedophiles" and that's ok? How is that a thing? Again, i'm not campaigning for anyone to be boxed. One of the people I consider a bro. I'm just illustrating inconsistencies in moderation.

@StumpTownStu

 You are quite hostile towards anyone who does not share your opinion and for sure towards me. That is fine and I cannot change your perspective but at some point you have to decide if you can post and interact with others that bother you to extremes and not make attacks and insults. 

The report feature does not mean you get your way or that there will be a result you want but it IS the only way to let us know you have a rule breaking instance and that is how any member should handle a situation, retaliation and offensive replies are not the way to respond if you feel like someone offended you.
