SkyDekker 1,465 #52 May 30, 2018 Interesting. I got banned for calling out racism against my son. I was told that since my son wasn't a member on these forums it could not be a personal attack. Has this rule/policy changed? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However attacking someone close to another poster is just a scummy thing to do. I have a feeling you got banned due to a personal attack you made against another poster. That's against the rules no matter how justified you think it is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfriverjoe 1,523 #54 May 30, 2018 RonD1120*** So why do they hate Jarrett? Do they even know who she is and what she has done? Yeah, they know. So they believe lies in order to support their hatred. That's for some pretty obvious reasons. And they aren't even good lies. Anyone who exercises some critical thinking will realize that quote is false, if only because that wasn't her name at the time it is attributed to her. And Trump's mouthpiece is defending his attack on ABC. Because calling him out on his behavior (supporting Nazis) is unfair."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

kallend 2,027 #56 May 30, 2018 jclalor********* So why do they hate Jarrett? Do they even know who she is and what she has done? Yeah, they know. Ron, you and your friends need to be more careful about believing those sources. That story is an outright lie. It is not even a little truthful. She is not even Muslim. And her name was not Jarrett in 1977. Her maiden name was Bowman. Really, you seriously need to inform yourself better. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/make-america-more-islamic-quote/ Ron has no desire to seek the truth, Snopes was built on folks like Ron. The simple truth of the matter is that Ron’s desire to believe is greater than his desire to know. The SC archives are quite comprehensive. It's not hard to find dozens of RonD's posts in which he either implies or comes straight out and claims that Obama is a Muslim. There are dozens of posts in which Ron won't use Barack as Obama's name, but insists on calling him "Hussein Obama". Ron's prejudices are very easy to document.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was a post on his authorized FB page made by the people who run the store. There is no way to know if the POTUS approved it. Because he hasn't severed his business interests from his public office.

billvon 2,996 #59 May 30, 2018 QuoteWhat about the way you people view and celebrate Easter? Promoting division again, Ron? Ironic considering your past comments on the topic: "I believe our nation began a serious division and mutual distrust beginning around 1965. This divide has grown into passive aggressive rage. The Internet is the perfect medium to perpetuate our demise" "Will America survive this division? God knows!" "And the left will not let anything fade into history and move on. They keep bringing it up to create division, divisiveness and hatred." "This is just an example of the anger and division created by this administration and those in support of it. America is divided and so far no one is discussing unity." Looks like you were against division - until you were for it. A great example of moral relativity.

I have found that the main group of 'Snopes Deniers' is far right wing religious types. They choose to believe what they want to believe, regardless of proof. They attack anything or anyone that shows those beliefs to be incorrect. I'm would bet rather heavily that there are public records of Jarret's marriage. And the date of it. Years after the supposed "quote" that Ron thinks is true. But like his accusation that Obama is a communist, his admiration of Trump and so many of his other assertions, no amount of proof would make him admit to being wrong."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

No, they offer a 10% discount to veterans every single day (I use it any time I want). Only active duty or disabled not regular veterans. What do you want instead? If you chose to join the military why do you deserve discounts and free rides frequently? I thought you were against socialism? I don't think you know how special active and retired military are treated in the US compared to just about every other country. I continually hear on the radio that that things like home and auto insurance and lines of credit have discounts to veterans. That doesn't happen anywhere else. Maybe you should give thanks a bit more? Regardless, you dodged the point of my initial post which was that Trump made Memorial day all about HIM. Then again, you just insinuated that a discount from a major store on memorial day isn't enough, so maybe you can be just as crass... Do you expect everything to be free for you on that day?

I had a discussion on Facebook yesterday with somebody who refused to admit the attached was photoshopped.
