He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Kamala whose husband is a promiment zionist, campaign manager was a zionist, and who could never formulate and articulate a single policy position on her own in any of her campaign runs? That Kamala? You're just huffing hopium. Yes, and maybe aliens would land and help us out too. I mean come on.

While we are proposing far fetched nonsense possibilities that go against what the candidates said they'd do: Did you consider that Trumps well documented anti semitism would give an even better result than Kamala?

The glimmer of a chance is better than none at all. Now we've lost everything, I'm watching my elderly parents and friends on disability from the VA loose everything because single is voters refused to see the bigger threat that was trump. I didn't like Kamala, I voted for Bernie twice, but I knew trump was a big enough threat to this country that voting 3rd party or not voting at all was a vote for trump.

I consider anyone who voted for trump, 3rd party, or didn't vote to be like an arsonist in an apartment building. Your desire to burn everything down caused you to burn down your own apartment, but the rest of us have to live with the consequences of your actions.

What makes you worthy of consideration that you wont give to other innocents being starved and blown up with our own tax-purchased bombs? Are you supposed to be special to me because you live closer or have whiter skin or something? Well you're not.

First of all if given the chance I'd cut all support for Israel and let them reap what they have sowed. I've called and written letters to my congresswoman and both senators to tell them I want the US to stop supporting Israel.

Second, I'm not special but I do care about what happens to my country and those I'm responsible for. Kamala was a horrible choice, but trump was and now is going to destroy this country and the support systems that millions of people depend on to survive. Do we need major reforms, yes, but allowing the ultra fascists to take power isn't how we get there. That's what all the people who latched on to this one issue and then voted for trump, 3rd party, or not at all refused to hear. We had the chance to maintain some stability and push for change, but now we've heading to 1930's Germany.
