The Secret Service says it has run out of money to protect President Trump and his family members, as the agency has been stretched thin by Trump’s large family, their multiple homes up and down the East Coast and Trump’s frequent trips to his private golf resorts. The Secret Service currently has 1,000 agents protecting Trump and 41 of his family members. Trump’s trips to his private golf courses are particularly expensive, with the Secret Service already spending $60,000 in taxpayer money on golf cart rentals this year alone.
also, hey amp!

That's just Trump's economic stimulus plan.

I don't expect you to care. That's why I spend so little time on posts like these, and sometimes I delete them if I go too far. What I can expect sometimes is you'll get really mad because you are very arrogant and you think your opinion should matter.

You've definitely had years to nurture your perspective. Being an editor however doesn't give you authority in the way you think it does.

Never said adults don't insult each other.

But kids also insult each other.

Kioshk insists that he does not get my PMs, so PMing him is not really very useful. So I am telling him in public that I don't particularly enjoy his trolling.
That's great.

But again, I note that you have no problem at all with someone whose only business in this thread is to troll; you only have a problem with their being told to gtfo.
i don't see how they're doing real harm. hm, and I wouldn't say that's my problem. I'm not defending them... I just don't like your behavior. People who pointlessly insult and troll someone without being provoked, using their position to ignore the rules, and who excuse their behavior because 'it's treating them like an adult' are...

Well anyway, I haven't written this to insult you or troll you. I'm just killing time atm. I guess I'll say something more though. Being an adult is a lot of things, but an adult who describes being an adult as partaking in back and forth insults is troublesome. I dare say it has nothing to do with being an adult, and everything to do with being a dick.

Let's say you work for the financial post as an editor. I already knew you have a very full and consistent perspective on economics. I wasn't trying to say there are holes in it, or anything of the like. My problem was you were pontificating at me, and you having your words seen by a large audience doesn't mean your perspective has more merit or produces more results. History hasn't shown this to be the case.

And maybe I'd like to learn your way of thinking about economics, but not because I think it has more merit, and certainly not when it comes with snide mockery lol. Newsflash, exaggerating semantic differences is silly and a waste of time.

Looks like he got his wish.

Nothing like a little scorched Earth policy to really make a point. A shame, I enjoyed reading this thread. The leftist takeover of 2+2 marches on!

Politards and politarding probably both belong in the special 2p2 Politards forum rather than here in the games forum.

Just delete all politics forums imo, including the main one. 2plus2 is a games site not a politics site. The main forum is a heavily biased disgrace anyway.

I would voice my opinion but it would be deleted.

A shame this thread ended, that's all I'll say. Some of the opinions meant something to me, as much as I despised them.

Again, something on 2+2 was lost.
08-25-2017 , 05:31 PM
This thread ended?
08-25-2017 , 05:47 PM
RIP thread

They destroy everything they touch. People, families, art, history, cities, education.

Everything they touch they burn down. How anyone could be on their side is beyond me.
08-25-2017 , 07:38 PM
Go home zork gimmick, you're drunk
08-25-2017 , 07:42 PM
Forgive them for they know not what they do.
08-25-2017 , 07:42 PM
Reroute politics discussion to the pub thread imo.
08-25-2017 , 08:14 PM
Just let it be known there are lurkers you may not expect.
