No I'm not. He was saying I have the spine of a jellyfish. He would never say anything condescending to a Trumper like you, Rob.

LOL my favorite PPP meme right there. We could at least agree on that

Nah - but you decided to make it personal for some reason.

A lot of assumptions here... you know what they say

As an honest observer I thought you were both actually having a pleasant discussion until you said I seem to have struck a nerve with you on this.

False. Multiple posters on both sides of the aisle express their opinions without moderation. See the new Kaep thread. Prediction: It gets shut down or moved to PPP when someone says something offensive.

Politics are discussed on the main boards and the mods do a fantastic job of policing them.

Like DR said, there are numerous political threads on the other boards, though. Times have changed.

Please, continue with your crusading, even though it's against the TOS and Rule #1.

Topics don't get moved to PPP when they become political, topics get moved to PPP when they become offensive. That's a distinction that should be made.

You should be willing and prepared to show your work, back up your opinions and analysis by engaging in an actual discussion of the topic. That means sticking around to have an adult conversation, not just throwing bombs or insults then fleeing the scene.

If only PPP was as easy as Twitter.

Rule #2 - what 3 threads?

Rule #1 - please, no personal insults. A+ post

Raise it upside down?

How much is that $30K boat worth, though, after being underwater for a couple weeks? Maybe $10-15K after spending hours of labor to repair. Also, if someone else's boat sinks, it doesn't automatically become the property of whoever raises it. There would have to be a barter to begin with to exchange the title.

The intention is to discuss Trump boat parades, specifically the Battle of Lake Travis.

There was a PPP topic on this same idea that came to diverting some monies as the consensus for what "defund the police" means, yet when "defund" is now mentioned, those same posters claim it means the entire police budget.

You?

So it's a Charlottesville "both sides" style gaffe?

I agree with Joe and think redirecting money away from law enforcement to other public institutions could help, but also agree with the MAGA folk that fully defunding the police is the wrong way to go about it. (I think Joe agrees with that, too) The only thing that makes it better is the commentary from the wannabe mod who promised his sheep that he would ignore "the trolls".

Is this the paragraph you are referring to that is your evidence for Joe promising to defund the police? Later, though, asked if money should be “redirected” away from cops, he replied, “Yes, absolutely.” And the charter for his alliance with Bernie Sanders vows to “reinvigorate community policing . . . and make smart investments to incentivize departments to build effective partnerships with social workers and mental-health and substance-use counselors” — which aligns with the #Defunders’ goals.
