If you don't want me questioning the keyboard commandos, zap my account. I know if this was my place, I'd nip the chest thumpers talking about starting a revolution, but it's your house.

parabellumJust stow the "ban me" dramatics. And I don't need any advice on how to run this place, nor any descriptions of what you would do if you were in charge. That's pointless.
We've been over this before, and you know better. It's as simple as that.
While we're on the subject, I
do address the "chest thumpers" as you call them, but I don't see that here, so, just behave.

pwelch001Dude, you sure seem like the keyboard commando here.

parabellumIt's easy to sit there and talk about "what I would do". You haven't put in the more than twenty years of running this place, the day-in/day-out routine, all the problems and issues and complaints, all the conflicts over everything from the pettiest of squabbles in the Lounge to fraud and theft in Classifieds. All the policy decisions about allowable content, etc. Thousands of decisions in two decades. It's so easy to tell us how you would solve problems. Its something altogether different to put yourself out there and make these decisions, which, I can tell you, somebody is not going to be happy with.

Damn straight!
I've moderated in a couple different on-line venues over the years. For a time I "managed" a moderation team. Like herding freaking cats. Those were challenge enough. I cannot imagine what para has to deal with on a daily basis.
So don't even be telling the boss "If this was my forum I'd..." That's bullshit.

pwelch001Amen, this is my only home. Going back to school at my age is tough enough, this is my safe haven. Thanks Para.

wcb6092"A Matter Of National Security" - DoJ Says Trump Tax Returns Must Be Released By IRS To Congress
https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...-congress-doj-ordersConveniently timed to coincide with Trump's re-emergence on the political scene with rallies being readies in the run up to next year's mid-terms, the Department of Justice has decided now is the time to affirm that the income tax returns of former President Trump can be released by the IRS to Congress.
The DOJ’s Office of Legal Counsel said that Congress had made a request with a legitimate legislative purpose to see Trump’s tax returns.
“The Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee has invoked sufficient reasons for requesting the former President’s tax information,” the opinion said.
As a result, under federal law, “Treasury must furnish the information to the Committee,” the opinion said.
The decision, as CNBC reports, comes more than a year after the U.S. Supreme Court said that Trump’s tax returns and other financial records had to be turned over by his longtime accountants to Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr., because of a subpoena issued as part of Vance’s criminal probe of the Trump Organization.
Of course, what this really means is that the likes of Schiff and Swalwell will 'accidentally' - allegedly - leak all of this to WaPo or NYT to pour their 'expertise' over and create the narrative required...
Which brings us to the most humorous sentence of the statement:
“Executive Branch officials must apply a presumption that Legislative Branch officials act in good faith and in furtherance of legitimate objectives.”
Oh yeah, lots of "good faith" among that crowd.
Speaker Pelosi chimed in, claiming that releasing Trump's tax returns is "a matter of national security" adding that "The American people deserve to know the facts of his troubling conflicts of interest and undermining of our security and democracy as president."

nhtagmemberI have never in my entire life seen the federal government so terrified of one person that they spend every hour of every day persecuting this guy.
This is not the country that I emigrated to back in 1991. Its a thin shell of what it was.

The courts could slap it down anytime they wanted to.

Lefty SigNancy Pelosi is a disgrace to her office. A mean, nasty, vindictive old bat with no sense of right and wrong, who seeks only to exert power.
Long gone is any sense of doing what is best for the country and constitution. It is only about buying votes and suppressing the opposition by any means available.

This only scratches the surface. But is extremely accurate. She needs to GO!
