This thread, which gets policed for anything remotely critical of Trump by people who are not admins.
Are all discussion forums plagued with poor reading comprehension skills? (i have no idea.)
Ah. Yes. Here is the OP of that thread, from about a year and a half into his term, long before he actually accomplished anything.Szdfan wrote: ↑Sat Aug 26, 2023 12:13 amThis thread, which gets policed for anything remotely critical of Trump by people who are not admins.

Can you explain how asking for specific things that he and his administration did, is for you, the same thing as “an explicitly designated an "all-hail Trump" thread”?RZehr wrote: ↑Wed Jun 06, 2018 7:11 pm I’ve heard many people say specific things they don’t like, such as dishonesty, morals, etc.
I also hear people allude that there are things they like.
What are some of the specific things you like about Trump, or his policies, or his administration etc.? Especially things that you think may be unique to this administration vs other Republicans.
I am currently overseas and was asked by a taxi driver this question.

We had an exact same thread to say things we liked about the Trump Presidency. Here is what that OP said it the Trump thread:

Let’s use this thread to do the same with Biden. Remember, only good things you appreciate, no listing his faults, sins, crimes, or poor decisions etc.
Oh dear. I have repented. I will again.
I rather like RZehr's posts here. And I liked what he said in the original post:RZehr wrote: ↑Sat Aug 26, 2023 1:16 amOh dear. I have repented. I will again.
As for undisputed Mennonite, that too has been disputed by some. Unfoundedly so, in my opinion, but nonetheless…
But a Good Things Trump thread is not supposed to be about that. It's supposed to be a place to say specific, good things, about Trump. You are criticizing Biden in plenty of other threads, and criticizing those who dislike Trump in plenty of other threads.Grace wrote: ↑Fri Aug 25, 2023 7:52 pm I see no one here taking offense at people criticizing Trump. Pointing out facts about the past administration and about the current administration is not taking sides. Unless, of course, someone doesn't want to hear any criticism about the current president and wants to only criticism the past president.
I imagine a "Good things Trump: 2024 General Election Campaign" thread is all about hoping that Trump will be reelected, promoting his candidacy. I can't explain the title any other way. I don't think there has ever been a thread like that for any other candidate on MN. It's probably not a thread to promote if you are tired of hearing about Trump.Grace wrote: ↑Fri Aug 25, 2023 7:52 pmPersonally I am so tired of hearing about Trump. I highly doubt he will be the next president. Tucker asked him Wednesday night, if he doesn't fear for his life. This is just a prediction, but if the deep state can't beat him, by booking him, and sending him to prison, he will die under suspicious circumstances. Just my thoughts, and I hope I am wrong.
I am confused, are we talking about this thread or other threads? I didn't know that the discussion goal of this thread, applies to other threads as well. Am I being criticized for pointing out facts about the Biden's in other threads? Is pointing out facts about the Biden's off limits in every thread?=Bootstrap post_id=202725 time=1693050568 user_id=67]

That's not what a "Good Things" thread is supposed to be for.
I don't think this thread is promoting a candidacy. And if if it did, so what.I imagine a "Good things Trump: 2024 General Election Campaign" thread is all about hoping that Trump will be reelected, promoting his candidacy.

I most have missed those attacks on courts, law enforcement Republicans who dislike Trump, Democrats and the media, in this thread. I will go back and reread the whole thread.I guess support for Trump and belief in deep state conspiracy theories are closely linked. Maybe that's why a "Good Things" thread about Trump often turns into attacks on the courts, law enforcement, the courts, Republicans who dislike Trump, Democrats, the media, etc. But at that point, it's really not a "Good Things" thread.
You are right about that.Trump is now on trial in a handful of courts. He managed to slow things way down with his armies of lawyers, but he is going to be front page news for much of the election season, even if you and I are tired of hearing about Trump. The media is saying a LOT more about him than any other Republican candidate.
But that isn't what a Good Things thread is supposed to be for either.
In this thread, I was very much talking about this thread. I thought RZehr's guidelines were helpful:Grace wrote: ↑Sat Aug 26, 2023 8:36 amI am confused, are we talking about this thread or other threads?Bootstrap wrote: ↑Sat Aug 26, 2023 7:49 am But a Good Things Trump thread is not supposed to be about that.

i’ve been away a lot, returning to find lots of off-topic entries in this thread was disappointing.
