          Howabout the guy who keeps telling me to “shut the fuck up”? Or is that civil because it’s towards someone who dares criticize Joe Biden?

            We don’t police every comment, just the ones that get reported.

            But on the surface, someone telling you to shut up isn’t the same thing as someone throwing insults.

            Edit Found it, it wasn’t just you. Removed and temp banned them.

                As a one off? Probably would be fine, in this case, the guy was on a tear and needed a time out.

                Directing an insult straight at someone? That’s out of line and gets removed (“Shut up you fucking donkey!”). Indirectly, also out of line, (“What are you, a fucking donkey?”).

                A simple STFU? Not as big a deal, but like I say, in THIS guys case? Repeated, at multiple people, with no other value to the comment? Yeah, no.

                  Thats much appreciated. Thanks for that, even if it wasnt directly for me. With that said, got any Biden criticisms you’d like to share then? Don’t you think the timing here is sus?

                    I find Biden incredibly problematic for a variety of reasons. His withdrawl from Afghanistan was incompetently handled and when he got called out on it, his reaction was “Hey, we had to get out!” when that wasn’t the question. Yes, we HAD to get out, the METHODOLOGY was the problem.

                    He has the same problem discussing the economy. People tell him they’re struggling and his reaction is “Hey, the economy has never been stronger!”

                    All that said, he’s a better choice than Trump, and Kennedy, Stein and West are all non-starters.

      Whoa there buddy who said I was voting for THAT administration? It’s crazy, I know, but it’s possible to be critical of someone who has your vote, just an fyi.
