Please tell me you don't think I give a damn what you think. I'm acting like someone fed up with the bullshit that's been going on in this thread for years.
Good old tolerant left...as long as you agree with them.

Yet 'Report To Mods' my post?! They're the exact same post! You didn't even slam me, or called me something. Reporting To Mods is something people have done what, 5 or 6 times in the 12/13 years of this forum?! Bono, BringBackAdler & maybe a few others.
It's a tit-for-tat, touche post.

I'm quoting you saying I said something that I didn't so you can't go back and change it. You can't even understand something that simple...

Nope, we'll handle this my way.
You're going to get banned over a thread you don't even like.
Highly unlikely, but if that's what it takes to get those (or the one) that deserves banning without question out of here, so be it. There's one common denominator in all of this. They did the right thing and it was peaceful. They allowed him back and he turned into an even bigger problem than before.
I know they are trying to deal with him. It's not working. You can't play nice with people hell bent on being douches. It's the reason the protesters are out of control where they've been allowed rope. Can't do it...have to nip this shit in the bud. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and take on the problem because it's not going to get better any other way. So here i am...

According to co-founder of the Federalist Society it's an impeachable offense.
Co-founder of influential conservative group: Trump's tweet floating election delay is grounds for impeachment
The co-founder of the conservative Federalist Society said Thursday in a blistering New York Times op-ed that President Donald Trump's tweet musing about a delay to November's presidential election is grounds for impeachment.
Steven Calabresi, a Northwestern University law professor who has offered broad defenses of the President in recent years, wrote, "I am frankly appalled by the president's recent tweet seeking to postpone the November election. Until recently, I had taken as political hyperbole the Democrats' assertion that President Trump is a fascist."
"But this latest tweet is fascistic and is itself grounds for the president's immediate impeachment again by the House of Representatives and his removal from office by the Senate," he said.
It's a significant break from the co-founder of one of the most influential groups in Republican politics. The Federalist Society has emerged as a leading conservative and libertarian voice in recent years, urging a limited role for judges in society's problems.
The group has also worked closely with Republican administrations to influence the selection of judges. Its leaders advised the George W. Bush administration on appointments and, for Trump, have become an even closer partner in screening candidates for the bench.
The scathing assessment comes hours after Trump explicitly floated delaying November's election in a tweet claiming without evidence that the contest will be flawed.
"With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA," he wrote. "Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???"
Trump has no authority to delay an election, and the Constitution gives Congress the power to set the date for voting. Lawmakers from both parties said almost immediately that there was no likelihood the election would be delayed.
"President Trump needs to be told by every Republican in Congress that he cannot postpone the federal election," Calabresi wrote. "Doing so would be illegal, unconstitutional and without precedent in American history. Anyone who says otherwise should never be elected to Congress again."
The op-ed, paired with an array of meaningful pushback on Trump from congressional Republicans on Thursday, offers a rare look at the limits on loyalty to the President within the GOP when it comes to defending his more extreme political urges.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican and Trump ally, told CNN when asked about the President's call to delay the election: "I don't think that's a particularly good idea."
And Majority Whip Sen. John Thune of South Dakota, a member of Republican leadership, told CNN that there will be an election in November despite the President's tweet.
"I think that's probably a statement that gets some press attention, but I doubt it gets any serious traction," Thune said. "I think we've had elections every November since about 1788, and I expect that will be the case again this year."
Even with scores of Republicans openly challenging Trump's tweet, Calabresi's op-ed stand outs as a striking defection given his long history in the GOP. While he's offered some criticism of the President in the past, Calabresi has gained significant notoriety in recent years for his forceful repudiations of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation as well as Trump's impeachment over his conduct with Ukraine.
