Mark Cuban says Trump 'just wants people who are loyal to him': 'Donald doesn't put the best people in place'

Wish MC would run as President.

Wish MC would run as President.

I think there's a lot of people that feel that way and wouldn't be surprised if he ran for president next time.

 

[yankeesince59]

Wish MC would run as President.

Compared to our 2 current choices, yeah, I'd vote for him.

Didn't we already try a businessman? How has that worked out?

As for arguing with a monkey, well they show more intelligence than a few posters in here.

This country needs an innovative business man, other than your buddy! lol
Cuban isn't just a businessman he's a creator and IT guy all wrapped up in one.
The days of having just an IVY grad career politician that cater to their lobbyist and special interest groups should be over.

Trump's going to the Ford plant today and they want him to wear a mask but he doesn't know if he's going to though.

Trump's not wearing the mask. How shocking.

 

[yankeesince59]

Trump's not wearing the mask. How shocking.

He said, "I didn't want to give the press the pleasure of seeing me wearing a mask".




What a fucking jack wagon.

Well, I don't necessarily want to see his face with his natural skin color. I'd probably lose my lunch.

Yeah, and Trump wasn't just a businessman, he was a reality TV star.

Cuban would be an upgrade over Trump, obviously. You or I would as well.

That's way too low of a bar, as it only eliminates serial killers and the like. And maybe not even all of them.

Supposedly George Washington had wooden teeth...have we ever has a POTUS with a wooden peg leg?

Problem actually solved:

Yeah, I suppose that in a pinch, an eye shade could be substituted for a mask.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Trump is breaking state law on not wearing a mask so that tells me I can break the law also!

Can I point out my issues with conversing with certain people here? Read above. The first quote is 100% false. Twice. I never said anything about eradication. I also never attacked anyone. I just left the cricket post go and laughed... which offended some apparently, who defend such hypocritical behavior. AT THAT POINT is when I started returning fire.

There are a couple of people who post all day and all night and flood every conversation with their opinion and try to push out anyone who disagrees... most anyone. And uses lies to do so(See above)

Now I understand the call to use the ignore, and that's a 100% on me.

But how do you expect people to have conversations when there are blatant false accusations that no one else here will step in and refute? SO the person being falsely accused, feels the need to defend what he said? Because no one else involved will say.. whoa... he didn't say that and cut the lies off?

Just the latest example I just quoted above.

I never once said anything about anything being eradicated ,yet here is Cup saying I made a false claim that it had been irradiated... twice.

Of course i'm going to be frustrated as the conversation continues, if people cant be honest and blatantly make shit up and NO ONE IN THE FORUM STEPS UP AND CALLS THE BLUFF.

This happens on a regular basis.

maybe if more people actually stood up for the truth and condemned people here making blatant false accusations, the defendant wouldn't feel the need to do it himself so often.

But instead, this type of conversing is allowed and seems to be the favored style and i'm saying if that's the case, you will soon have nothing but one common voice coming from a few people and everyone else will move on....just like Olive.

SOOO many people see the pattern developing and as mods you are defending those making it happen and condemning those putting up a fight.

@Minstrel I have really only had issues with three people here. HCP, Yank and Cup. HCP is a completely different situation where we both share some blame, but as you can see, we don't fight daily.

If it were my issue, id still be fighting with him all the time, but that was an isolated case.

With regards to yank and cup, its the smothering they give this place 24/7 in every thread ridiculing people who disagree with them. I have had many good conversations and made some good friends from here too, so the insinuation that its just me and no one else with the issue, I do not agree with at all. I just dont walk away and leave the forum like many. I push the conflict in hopes that those in charge will see the truth of whats going on here. ( In this instance I didnt even push shit. Just tried to have an up and up convo, trying once again to give cup the benefit of the doubt and trying to turn the corner)

I get it. people wont change.. but then you guys want me to change, like I want others to change. That's kinda hypocritical too isnt it?


I know you mods get more complaints about this than you let on in public. But the fact is the rules in place combined with the style of a couple of posters is going to plague this place out and all you will have will be 6-10 people agreeing on everything.

I don't think that's what you want, but I have talked to enough people to know its a real possibility. If you guys choose to ignore the complaints and cater to this type of behavior, then there is no one to blame, me, cup anyone if/when this happens.

Ignore only goes so far and you guys know this.

Mags put cup on ignore because he couldn't stand the banging his head on the wall of hypocrisy. If you notice now, his conversations have wound down a bit. I'm pretty sure its because with ignoring cup and possibly yank, half the posts in threads go away and one cant follow convos, so you one doesnt get involved. Not speaking for him, but i've tried it and it happened to me.

Ignore works great if the person being ignored is just a normal poster, but when they live on this board with nothing else in their life but an agenda to get over on the next poster who has a differing opinion, it doesn't work so well.
Cup claiming some sort of victory over this with Mags is hilarious to me btw. lol


Anyhow, I would have sent this in a DM, but cant send a DM to more than one person anymore(not sure why that change,d but its pretty stupid IMO).

Ive never denied my involvement in the conflicts and take 100% responsibility for my actions and statements. But my actions and statements have always been aimed at trying to create a more constructive, peaceable environment, and your guys' condemnation of that in the face of supporting their behavior, is really compelling.

Take a look at the daily post counts. See who tops the list day after day. Im 99% sure who leads the charge. Then try to picture putting them on ignore and how conversations would look like with every third post gone. Ive tried it. IT doesn't work as well as you think if you still want to be an active participant in conversations.


And lastly @Minstrel if you don't think political alignments have a factor in how people are treated, you are also mistaken. This is a very liberal forum, so the few conservatives who voice their opinion get ganged up on by the masses... but then its the conservative who has the issue, when he pushes back? I hope you see that's a pattern as well. There are some conservative posters, but most avoid the politics because they are smarter than I and understand how biased this place can be.

Now. You can continue to condemn the minority who try to speak up and push for fairness and the truth, or you can continue to support those who twist words around, make false claims about false claims(that one is hiliarous) and simply are incapable of having a mature discussion with someone who may not agree with them on everything.

If you clearly read the conversation through from the moment I quoted cup and agreed and stated that we accomplished the goal he mentioned and how it went from there, you will see I didn't initiate any conflict. Made a comment and when it was responded to, I then asked an agree or disagree question. I wasn't trying to start anything other than just have a decent convo.

@Minstrel Are you claiming that its my conversation style in this issue that is the problem and everyone else was perfectly fine?

You can reply in DM if you like. I know having these discussions in public really ruffles some people feathers around here....

Sorry for the late reply. The power supply on my computer took a dump. That was a pain in the ass.

I love building a new computer but HATE fixing them when there is a problem. The only thing I'm thankful for is that it wasn't the motherboard.

Also what the fuck happened to Fry's? Went there for a new power supply and that place is empty. No power supplies, no CPUs, ram, only 2 motherboards, Fry's looks like they're going out of business.

....

Now, the real question I have...

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO WRITE SO MUCH AT 5 IN THE FUCKING MORNING?!?

Jesus H. Christ.

I haven't read any of the replies to this yet. I hope to god this is all worked out.

I could give a crap about Trump, he's no bench mark for a business person who'd be Pres. material.

All handled.

Sorry for your PC issues. I hate PC's.

Fry's is going under. They have been like that for almost a year now. Sucks too because I was really excited to move close to them here in Canby. I mean.. Best Buy as an only in store option? GAG me.....


And ummm well, I start working at 4AM this morning because I have carpet getting installed at 8, so I knew I had some down time I had to cover. I knocked out my work quick. Then got frizzy on S2. Then, just as Im about to start working again, our quoting program takes a dump and gets me behind and I end up having to bust ass the rest of the day.

But hey. Carpet is in stalled and looking awesome.

Now time to go move a bunch of furniture.


Oh and just to keep this on topic, the installer didn't wear a mask or nothing.

This would have been the year for a solid independent to run. Howard could beat bith candidates.

 

[Lanny]

Orrr... They just need to be denied entry?.......

That lacks the expression of intense frustration with pinheads who are risking the lives of others. You've gotta admit, it really pisses you off.
Think of it as poetic license.

He does illustrate the problems with electing a businessperson.

Of course you have to look past the problems with electing Trump specifically to see those, but they are there if you look.

Not a chance in hell. You might like him better but he would come in a far distant third.

It's possible that the voters are looking this year for someone with no charisma whatsoever. Can't rule that out.

Probably so, however you’d think for the second general a row there would be more vitality than the two. Joe & Trump are nit IMO, representative of the best thus country can offer.

That's the way most voters are and I don't expect it to change anytime soon or at least not for a century or two.
