It wasn't on the right side though. Any poll attempting to predict vote national vote totals which showed Trump ahead was on the wrong side.

What.. the.. ****..? First of all, what is the point of editing out that insult? But secondly, and more importantly... YOU EDITED THE INSULT BUT THEN SAID WHAT THE INSULT WAS WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT ACCOMPLISH??

I'm in Denmark watching the news about Hamburg. I gotta ask... Why are the police water cannoning innocent protesters who are committing no crime, and actually just sitting peacefully on the sidewalks? I thought the Germans were liberals who valued democracy and peaceful protest? Are the Panzers on the move again?

The use-mention distinction explains this.

We can't say "spastic?" Really?

Edit: and ofc wil is allowed to call fly a "****ing idiot" in the post immediately before.

The Earth is round. We landed on the moon. The sky is blue.

This is interesting and I thank you for the link. However, even though this supports an argument that chez's use is non-offensive while Fly's use is, that is not really my complaint. My complaint is that there is no use in the censorship part if he is just going to tell us what he said anyway.

It's probably to inform you that is not an acceptable word to use as an insult. Are you curious why that word is an unacceptable insult?

Ok just testing. So your brainwashing isn't to just disagree with anything conservatives say, maybe it's with whatever they say about Trump?

Trump's net worth is $3.5 billion.

Trump did whatever he could on his promise to fix health care.

Trump is way tougher on N. Korea than Obama was.

Trump will increase defense spending.

Oh look, here's somebody commenting on the polls way back in Aug 2016.

I wonder who got that right?

Right, but he could have done this without editing the post. He could've just said "that insult is not acceptable, please don't use it again." Instead, he simultaneously censored it and then included the censored word in his edit.

To be clear, this is like a super minor nit and I'm only pointing it out for amusement purposes.

No, I get it, although my personal preference is for super hands-off modding and I would prefer stuff like that did not get modded.

I realize my personal preferences are of no particular importance here.

Lol.

Well this isn't an objective fact or anything and there is going to be a wide margin of error around the estimate but Forbes has it estimated at $3.5 billion. Bloomberg estimates it as $2.9 billion. I don't feel like doing any more research but sure I'll accept $3.5 billion as a reasonable estimate.

I'll grant you this but only on a technicality, which is that "whatever he could" was essentially nothing and he did essentially nothing. I don't doubt he would love to simultaneously improve healthcare for everyone while reducing costs but he has no understanding of the issue at all and this promise is impossible to keep.

I don't think so? Has U.S. policy towards North Korea changed at all under Trump? I mean he sends out more tweets on the subject but I'm not sure that counts.

Yeah probably.

omg Sushy you are so weird and obsessive and deranged, stay away from me creep!!!!!11

(note that even your prediction you gloat over was incorrect, there was no "majority" for Trump lol dumbass)

Who got the majority of E.C. votes dumbass?

You know the ones that actually count.

Seriously, this is the revisionist history you're going with for your prediction?

When you wrote "that is when the silent majority awakens", you were actually talking about "the silent majority...of electoral college members"?

hahahaha man how stupid must you have to be to even try this

E.C. members vote for the majorities in their states. Yes.

And yeah, I wasn't talking about who wins the popular vote. Who the **** cares about that?

You really are a stoopid person goofy.

The republicans care in the alt universe.

1. Trump clearly cares.

2. The popular vote is what national polls predict. They are only a predictor of the EC winner in the sense that the EC winner is heavily correlated with the popular vote winner.

3. Calling something "the silent majority" implies that they are, you know, a majority and not a minority which is optimally distributed geographically.

"The silent majority"?

lol BroadwaySoShyt - the majority voted against Trump, halfwit.

Even that isn't true dumbass, Trump got under 50% in seven (!!!) of the states he carried. Do you know the difference between a majority and a plurality?

Jesus christ it's like talking to ****ing kindergarteners with these idiots

He got the most votes in those states. And he won the election jackass.

LOL dumbasses everywhere around here. mLOL jalfrezi

I'm not going to delete the post because there's a bunch of responses and there's at least some very tangential connection to the thread, but FYI I think this is pushing the limits on acceptable low-content trolling. Mostly because you've already posted the same thing about a half-dozen times.

I've posted it once before, jackass.

Tangental connection to the thread? Are you ****ing serious?

They've been talking about the polls leading up to the election for the last several pages.

Jesus man, you're not even fit to be a mod's *******.

Do you know the difference between winner and loser?

Yes, I know who won the election, and I also know when dumbasses like you and your idiot Trumpkin buddies make incorrect claims about polls and majorities because your one unifying quality is that you, like your president, are deeply unintelligent people.

People quote posts. In any case the point was clear. I've deleted your post that repeated the offense.
