If Trump had been convicted in the Senate, he (legally) would have been removed from office and prohibited from ever holding office again.

This was reported as misinformation, but I have no idea what this means. To me, this looks like a bot talking to a bot. Can other people weigh in and confirm I’m not just ignorant of whatever this is about before I ban what I think are bot accounts?

Trump’s total disregard for the Impoundment Control Act, which basically requires the President to spend money that Congress has appropriated — and the acquiescence of Congressional Republicans to that executive overreach — is ample reason why Democrats have little reason to trust Republicans will do what they say.

I saw it somewhere else on here, but I liked the suggestion of Democrats adding demands for popular changes as the shutdown continues on (e.g., Medicare for All, Medicaid expansion, no hungry kids, etc.), and I love it.

I know the mod report system isn’t perfect, but if you are submitting a mod report that alleges a user is a previously banned user trying to evade a ban, please message me (or us) explaining why you think or how you know that. If the post isn’t breaking any of the other rules, the only piece of evidence I have to go on is that the account is new and submitting a post, but we can’t use that as sole criteria for identifying whether someone is or isn’t evading a ban.

The only reason I made the request is I received a mod report from people who didn’t realize it, and at the time, the votes on your comment were in the negative, so I was concerned it might continue to be misinterpreted. I thought simply adding a “/s” to the end of your comment would be an a win-win for everyone: you wouldn’t continue to be downvoted, and people that didn’t pick up on the facetiousness of your comment, would then be able to appreciate your comment.

Please add a sarcasm or facetious tag.

You’re using different words to repeat yourself without actually addressing the flaw in your argument: it misses the larger picture.
