What would you like to see be done here?
New Improved DC Tom replied to SDS's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I did moderate PPP, some 20 years ago. It's a thankless task. You get blamed for being partisan no matter what, even when dealing with people whose expressed intend is to disrupt discourse (and yes, that was happening in 2003, just as it is now). And even back then, there were people who were too immature to know how to disagree constructively, and that has only gotten worse, both here and in general society, in the past couple years. It is absolutely useless it is to try to moderate people who believe disagreement is a blood sport, and their feelings absolute fact. -

Want to reinforce and confirm this. Jesus, if this board was moderated, I'd have been kicked off long ago. And anyone paying any attention could see that my behavior was more...circumspect, shall we say, on the main board than on here, for just that reason. -

As I've said occasionally over the years, "The board's not anti-liberal, it's anti-schmuck. Stop being one." -
Is Nate McMurray Unhinged?
New Improved DC Tom replied to SectionC3's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
It's true. He has CBP separating immigramt children from their parents, then shipping those children to other countries. -

It's badly broken. You should make it a club, for several reasons. Not the least two of which are: it removes much of the responsibility of managing this kindergarten from your shoulders directly, and it creates greater separation between your TBD brand and Trump supporters. The caveat is that you'll end up with multiple exclusive political clubs - at the very least a left-wing club and a right-wing club. That could get messy - how messy for you, I don't know, as I don't know exactly how much interaction as board owner you have with clubs. I suspect the mitigation to that caveat is my first point: it's removed from your direct responsibility, and puts a decent Chinese wall between you (i.e. you personally, and TBD) and the political BS. Ultimately...your philosophy towards PPP has always been "hands off" and let it self-moderate. At this point, a club probably better suits that philosophy than a distinct board. -
Do you realize that the criminal penalty for unknowingly risking infecting someone with a disease with a 1% fatality rate (COVID) is less than the criminal penalty for knowingly and intentionally infecting someone with a universally fatal disease (AIDS)? That's how ignorant and inconsistent your position is.

It’s Officially a Base Election
New Improved DC Tom replied to SectionC3's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
What about Democrats that have defected the party because of the party's far-left shift? My point being: there's a lot of people abandoning their historical party allegiances because of the extreme actions of the party far wings, which makes this election particularly difficult to forecast compared to others. -
Can confirm this. In fact, his information predated even Trump's nomination, and he didn't believe it when he initially started digging in to it. I have email exchanges from 2015 with him on the subject. He was wrll ahead of social media and even Q on the subject.

Reasons why I should vote for Biden.....
New Improved DC Tom replied to Westside's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
That's actually questionable. Given how much of his worth is tied directly to his name via licensing fees, it quite possible he's been hurt more than benefited. I wouldn't be surprised if his presidency cost him hundreds of millions, ultimately. -
Ok, how about something positive......
New Improved DC Tom replied to Westside's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Teddy Roosevelt. Because he took a bullet in the chest, not only didn't die from it but gave a speech before seeking medical assistance. And no one simultaneously accused him of faking it, screamed he was endangering those around him, and complained about him not dying from it. -
Jesus... What the hell possessed you reptiles to take SDS's thread in this direction from his initial post?

Police Terrorism Group
New Improved DC Tom replied to BullBuchanan's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
No, jamoke. I'm someone who read your "I didn't call them all bad, I called them all terrorists. You just can't follow logic" masterpiece of bovine excrement, thought I'd point out that you're a ***** idiot, because that makes no sense, and only an idiot would think it does. Even if I agreed with your conclusions, you'd be a mammoth ***** idiot for believing you make any rational sense. -

Good time for the D to step up. Although they still haven't forced a punt since Week 2. -

I think Josh Allen might be the franchise QB the Bills have been looking for. -

I'd settle for E.J. Manuel giving a Bluto Blutarsky type speech at this point.
