The point of the thread was to keep discussion about the presidency in one thread. Don't be surprised if this thread here gets deleted instead.
Or lock it at least.
Genmay had a vault of mayhem where legendary threads were kept so they could be easily viewed but nothing new could be added to ruin it.
It would be nice if this forum had that as well so threads like the fanny pack and blue waves downhill mile could be easily found and enjoyed.
That forum was just as destructive as this one but at least they did a forum the right way by requiring logins and using standard forum features. This one is designed solely to create ad impressions. Anything else is a biproduct.

Then rename the thread and call it “all things trump” so everyone knows that’s where all trump discussion belongs.
However, other trump threads always dominate the boards so your reasoning is great in theory, but hasn’t worked well in practice.

That's not true. This forum was created to allow runners to discuss running and other things. I wonder when our first ad came on here.
Also I'm a strong believer that people should be able to discuss current events of the day without tying their name to it. That's one reason for anonymity and also our belief that certain running topics wouldn't be discussed without anonymity.
And I think Alberto Salazar's lawyer asking for the names of hundreds of LetsRun posters proves that latter point.
The Trump thread is meant to be the one thread if people just want to rant for or against Trump. It is unmoderated except we do read posts that are reported to us as offensive.
It takes two to tango. Both sides of WWII were in the wrong. Everything Hitler did leading up to the war had a pretty solid justification. In the end, it was the people who framed the Treaty of Versailles who caused it because they created a situation that was unbearable for Germany and would necessarily lead to another conflict.
And with no WWI there is no Treaty of Versailles. The people at fault for the state of Western society are the European Aristocracy who neglected their duty to their people and thought they could play their little war games in an era of high explosives, machine guns, chemical weapons, and the US (((financiers))) who fueled the War for the Allies and demanded their pound of flesh from a crushed and defeated country once peace had been established.
It was the Pride of the nobility that made them send millions of men to run aimlessly into wave after wave of machine gun fire. It was the Greed of American Financiers like JP Morgan that currupted this country, and turned us from our tradition of isolationism into an empire of war profiteers fueling conflict around the globe.
Had the US stayed isolationist, Britain would have folded, Germany would have won, Russia would never have fallen to Communism, the nobility might not have been delegitimized and unseated in favor of a system that encourages demagoguery and tyranny of the majority, we never would have had WWII, we never would have had the Holocaust and Israel and all the bullshit we see today.

Those would be any direct accurate quote of Donald Trump

Is this true? That's funny, and very interesting. Was one of them Jamin?

Why? Have you been on the Trump side and realize now that he is going to go down?
If it's not that and you just don't want to read about it, then just don't open the thread. There are several threads I'm not interested in so, guess what, I don't open them.
I should have been more clear, my apologies. I used “destructive” to reference the divisiveness and flame wars that pervade any established forum with longtime users which become comfortable beyond common courtesy. It has nothing to do with your moderation of the topics.
There are plenty of parallels between this place and genmay. The users even turned on founders way back in the day. M22 = Rojo
Regarding ads, it’s your site. Do with it as you please. The only anecdotal thing I can offer is this is the only forum I’ve seen where ads have at times ruined performance. However, credit is due, you are far more responsive than any other owner in addressing the issue directly with your users.

Um, dude, there's 1300 pages in that thread.
There've been zero indictments of anyone from the Trump campaign related to the reason the Special Counsel was formed in the first place ("did the Trump campaign collude with Russia?"). That's why the Special Counsel was formed. Not to just "investigate Russian meddling." No Special Counsel was needed for that. They added that to be able to continue the charade and try to tear Trump down as long as possible.
However, with all the HARD evidence of the establishment conspiring against Trump (Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Clapper, Brennan, etc.) coming out, it's going to be real interesting in the coming months to see how they spin their way "out" of the intended conspiracy.
Clapper is a lying disgrace. Brennan lied to Congress under oath as well. Now both are portrayed as heroes and "experts" on CNN on a daily basis.
Comey's book tour is hilarious. Even the Left thinks it's hurting himself and the FBI!
The Justice Dept report on McCabe is just the tip of the iceberg for him. He's done. Like done done.
Remember back when Strzok was first removed from the Mueller team early on? Without any explanation or coverage from the MSM? It took 6 months to find out why. And what do you know, he was involved in the conspiracy against Trump.
Such arrogant fools. Draining the swamp indeed.
I love that this thread is expanding too. Let 'em grow!
You name should be trench mouth.
Wait, what? You mean the felony indictments weren't enough? People taking trips to Russia just before being plucked out of obscurity to be in the campaign? Trump's "lawyer" is so hot they could get a search warrant for three different locations.
You guys are hilarious. There's a reason the hive mind sticks to the word collusion. Charges will continue to be filed, plea deals made, yet "no collusion!!" At some point the thing that looks like an elephant, feels like an elephant, has a trunk like an elephant, has feet like an elephant turns out to be an elephant. I know how this works. The hive mind restates the lie to try to make it true.
The Chief Idiot is doing a great job all by himself.
