        Of course the SCOTUS won’t give their decision on this until after the election so that they can either A) give Trump unilateral power if he wins or B) ensure Biden doesn’t get that power if he wins.

        Only reason I can think why the SCOTUS didn’t rush to making a decision on making the President a literal dictator.

      C’mon, man…

      Rule 6:

      No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

        This is the reason this crap keeps happening. DJT can say whatever the fuck he wants and suffers no repercussions. One random person alludes to violence on a tiny website used by approximately 470,000 people and we immediately censor them. I get it, rules for the plebs not for the kings. I also get that it is out of your control mod and snowflakes are going to report everything they can get away with and your job is to do your job.

        Steve Bannon can issue a call activating lone wolves, DJT can say there will be a bloodbath if he’s not elected. DJT can try to incarcerate political opponents because they dared investigate him, DJT can send a mob to the Capitol to try and stay in power.

        Billy Bob from down the street with absolutely no power or following can make a statement calling for violence, that motherfucker will get banned in a heart beat.

        Just pointing out that things seem a little backwards. Like the cards are stacked against us.

          This is a great example of the double standard, nobody holds Trump accountable for anything, even the little things us peasants cant even imagine saying or doing, and we’ve had enough.

          I don’t think it’s backwards, though, because do you really want to lower all of your discourse to his level? There is something to be said about being the “better” person in these situations.

            oh my naive friend. you’re going to ride that high horse right into oblivion. don’t you know there is an irreversible dystopia coming that kills off half this planet and leaves most humans in bondage to their 1% overlords? if you don’t start learning how to fight back now, you’re going to regret it.

          Good morning master blaster! Just curious, do you know why this comment was removed? I don’t recall you stating anything that would break the rules.
