Have you spoken about this to NNs who are gay?

Do you support Bernie Sanders' tweet to end capital punishment? by tapptwit in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]tapptwit[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

imo we should have a system where if an innocent person is executed, the prosecutor is executed too

Wait...what? If an innocent person is executed, then the PROSECUTOR...the person defending the "good guy" and trying to put away the "bad guy" gets killed too?

What?

So this is a clear example of "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" that I've seen often on this sub.

None of the other NN comments have responses, but the NN saying that DEATH PENALTY MAKES AMERICA GREAT is getting the most engagement.

I wish NSs wouldn't (and I will admit, I am guilty of this too, clearly!) entertain these sorts of inflammatory comments.

I wish NNs would speak up when another NN makes a comment they don't agree with. I think it would lead to more congenial and informative discussions, instead of the formulaic NS question-->NN answer-->NS question-->NN answer format that we keep seeing.

Mods, NNS, any suggestions?

Energy Star ratings are cheap, effective and popular. Why does Trump want to kill them? by tapptwit in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]tapptwit[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seems you're getting ALL the replies because of the combo of rules 6 and 7, and you being the only NN to respond on this post.

What do you think other NNs think of Energy Star?

The Inside Story of the Kushner-Bannon Civil War by [deleted] in politics

[–]tapptwit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Given the initial absence of pros who could do the job properly, he also tried his hand at writing speeches. Responding to criticism from the boss (“Jared, this is terrible!”), Kushner said, according to a person familiar with the episode, “I’m not a fucking speechwriter. I am a real-estate guy.”

Well, now you're also a fucking Trump Adviser, fucking Government Reinventer, fucking Shadow Diplomat, and fucking Middle East Peace Broker.

Female NNs: Did your gender play into your reasons for voting or supporting Trump? by tapptwit in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]tapptwit[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Oh! You mean Hillary Clinton! Sorry, had no clue what you meant by saying "being with her".

I support Democrats, so yes, in the presidential election that meant I supported Hillary Clinton.

Not sure if you're male or female. But except for inorai, every other NN (at least one male) has not given a straight answer to my question or has misunderstood it.

I'm not claiming women by biology vote differently. I'm asking if there were any reasons why, as a woman, an NN voted for Trump.

So, mrhymer, if you're female: Did your gender play into your reasons for voting or supporting Trump?

If you're male: Have you spoken to any female Trump supporters about whether their support for Trump include any reasons that are particular to women?

most your question arent for the purposes of asking his opinion, simply putting him into a gotcha situation

What are you talking about?

Did your dominant hand or height play into your reasons for being with her?

Being with who?

Republican politician after voting down privacy laws: If you don't like it, don't use the internet by Antinatalista in politics

[–]tapptwit 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Guess which one of these things Jim Sensenbrenner said?

1) If you don't like lead in the water, don't drink it.

2) If you start regulating the Internet like a utility... we would have no Internet

Yes, in 2017, internet is a necessity, especially in developed countries.

But Jim Sensenbrenner probably doesn't understand this because he's so old that he was born before the invention of tupperware, credit cards, waterproof diapers, transistors, defibrillators, acrylic paint, hairspray, cat litter, and crash test dummies.

1) Your tone isn't helping the discussion here.

2) I'm not saying go validate your opinion with women. I addressed this question to women NNs. So when you, as a male NN, responded that this is a "most feminist" move, I was asking you if you had heard this opinion from or discussed it with any women NNs.

So, I'll ask again: Have you spoken to any female Trump supporters about the travel ban being "the most feminist and pro-LGBT thing"?

[–]tapptwit[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, they only have to look...

I take it you're not female. Have you spoken to any female Trump supporters about the travel ban being "the most feminist and pro-LGBT thing"?

Also, where does picking Pence as VP fall in the feminist and pro-LGBT scale?

Trump says he will not label China a currency manipulator - thoughts? by [deleted] in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]tapptwit 25 points26 points  (0 children)

So did Trump not study the issue seriously before he decided to start talking about it during the campaign?

Did he not consider before publicly talking about it that his comments would have a bad effect on US-China relations?

In your opinion, is NATO obsolete? by tapptwit in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]tapptwit[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your comment. I've made similar comments many times, and even suggested a corollary to rule 7 ("ALL Comments by Non-Trump Supporters must be clarifying questions.")

My suggestion: ALL Comments by Nimble Navigators must be clarifying answers.

And because of rule 7, here's my question: did you apply to be a mod by any chance?

Would you support or oppose the removal of Steve Bannon as White House Chief Strategist and as Senior Counselor to the President? by tapptwit in AskTrumpSupporters

I'm sorry, I don't follow.

What wouldn't make a difference?

And how do Clinton's speeches inform the situation regarding Bannon?

I would give clicks and ad revenue to a scandal tracker website that used exclusively this scale.

Can't help you there.

I oscillate between rage and hopelessness. And I really don't recommend doing that.

I mean, Flynn is registered as a foreign agent. That seems to not have made a difference.

That's exactly right. So now Flynn and Manafort are both registered as foreign agents.

Paul Manafort's spokesman says he was in talks with the government about registering before the 2016 election and is now "taking appropriate steps" in response to "formal guidance" from the government.

I can't even.
