Can you please change the comment to this post. Otherwise I have to take it down.

What’s an L10?

“A short-fingered vulgarian.”

This was reported as misinformation, but I have no idea what this means. To me, this looks like a bot talking to a bot. Can other people weigh in and confirm I’m not just ignorant of whatever this is about before I ban what I think are bot accounts?

Trump’s total disregard for the Impoundment Control Act, which basically requires the President to spend money that Congress has appropriated — and the acquiescence of Congressional Republicans to that executive overreach — is ample reason why Democrats have little reason to trust Republicans will do what they say.

The proposition is time-limited, and will revert back to independent redistricting organization after 2030.

I saw it somewhere else on here, but I liked the suggestion of Democrats adding demands for popular changes as the shutdown continues on (e.g., Medicare for All, Medicaid expansion, no hungry kids, etc.), and I love it.

 

Summary

  • Case is latest US fight over racial issues in voting maps
  • Louisiana map increased Black-majority US House districts
  • Republicans could benefit if Voting Rights Act is undercut
 

I know the mod report system isn’t perfect, but if you are submitting a mod report that alleges a user is a previously banned user trying to evade a ban, please message me (or us) explaining why you think or how you know that. If the post isn’t breaking any of the other rules, the only piece of evidence I have to go on is that the account is new and submitting a post, but we can’t use that as sole criteria for identifying whether someone is or isn’t evading a ban.

The only reason I made the request is I received a mod report from people who didn’t realize it, and at the time, the votes on your comment were in the negative, so I was concerned it might continue to be misinterpreted. I thought simply adding a “/s” to the end of your comment would be an a win-win for everyone: you wouldn’t continue to be downvoted, and people that didn’t pick up on the facetiousness of your comment, would then be able to appreciate your comment.

Please add a sarcasm or facetious tag.

You’re using different words to repeat yourself without actually addressing the flaw in your argument: it misses the larger picture.

You’re right on the technical points, but you’re completely missing the larger reality, which is corporate and media consolidation. There are a lot of business interests that include some subsidiaries that are subject to the FCC’s regulation, and other subsidiaries that are not. The point is, members of this administration are exerting extortionate pressures that don’t happen in a vacuum.
