Social ICE just shot two people in Portland

[Substance Abuse]

Any evidence of radical leftists liking Che, Stalin, Mao and Maduro? Che I can kinda get with all the Che Guevara tshirts that were going on 15+ years ago (but I would presume people wore those because it was fashionable, not because of some political message), but who the fuck "loves" Stalin, Maduro and Mao? What evidence do you have of leftists loving these dictators?

People were (rightfully so) opposed to how Trump admin deposed of Maduro after Trump admin campaigned on "bring troops back / no more USA as world police" - ain't no one actually liked Maduro lmao

Meanwhile you got Trump admin openly admiring Putin, a dictator that's in power for nearly 30 years now, to the point of convincing right wingers that Putin isn't a dirty commie that should be considered US enemy lol.

He has none. This guy hasn't had a nuanced take on the boards in years. Soap box poster 101.

What? Who said anybody works outside the US? I inferred that CBP is assigned to border activities and their jurisdiction is primarly at border locations. ICE handles interior duty.

Border security includes the ocean. That's why they're legally allowed to operate within I think 100 miles of any "border" - essentially a huge chunk of the US where a lot of the population lives.

So, any update on those shot in Portland yesterday?

 

[Daverisimo]

I went off the rails with ad homs yesterday towards @Roids which was uncalled for. Heated topic that got carried away. I apologize for repeatedly calling you a retard, even if you are horribly mistaken about your understanding of PTSD.

watch your fucking mouth about rebounding god Ed Davis

Sabonis bless.

Portland sits on the Columbia River which flows to the Pacific...so yes it would make sense that a city on a major waterway with access to international waters had a CBP presence.

Underrated point being made here. It is extremely rude to say mean things about cops. Shouldn't be allowed. You fucking dork.

Dude, it’s othering them and dehumanizing and polarizing, treating them as if they’re all one thing. Most people would recognize this as irrational and intended to incite hatred and violence towards an entire group… this is literally one of the steps towards genocide.

Boot licker

By not hitting the report button and instead telling the mods they're doing a shit job?

Boy you really thought that one through.

 

[BFoe]

There's a grey area there too. Unless someone is saying something crazy like "I hope someone xyz you tonight" or "you deserve painful balls deep Epstein treatment" (I'm using lesser words of what I really meant there) then I don't think it should be deleted at all. The report button should be reserved for true vile actions like someone posting CP or skat, openly direct threats against a user, doxxing, things of that nature. Online discussion forums shouldn't be about getting upset because someone has a different opinion, which happens way too often these days.

For example, if someone worships Trump as their Lord and Savior, it obviously isn't my jam, but they're more than entitled to do that and preach the cult. And I should be allowed to check them and call them a fool for being blind. Etc etc. It's called the War Room not "The Cuddle Room".

Anyway back to reading the thread, but tossing my 2 cents there.

Appreciate the feedback, and absolutely being pro-Trump or anti-Trump is fine in and of itself. Ultimately what the report button is there for, are posts that someone thinks may be outside the subforum’s rules. Like, yes this is the WR, and that’s why it has a mild flaming rule and some other quirks that are different than other forums. But this subforum does have rules, and we do our best to handle those things that are outside those rules.

We all volunteer our time and have actual 9-5 jobs on top of this, and it’s just sort of disheartening to log on as I did this morning, see 0 reports, and then the first thread I come into people are complaining that we didn’t mod some content that none of us saw and nobody reported, that’s all.

By not hitting the report button and instead telling the mods they're doing a shit job?

We can only mod what we see. I’d imagine most mods have a similar routine to me: I log on, and look to see if there are open reports. That’s our first cue; if I see a dozen reports waiting, then I’m like “oh shit, something must be blowing up in some thread.” But if I see 0, then I assume things are ok, and I take on the role of Poster. I surf the Dog just like you, go into threads that interest me, reply to whomever, etc. I only put on the Mod hat if:
a) I happen to come across a post that runs afoul of the rules
b) somebody reports something

We don’t methodically go through every post in every thread like the Gestapo to shake posters down, and I don’t think anyone wants to be on a forum with mods that would, you know?

Anyway, I’ll end my rambling public service announcement. All I’m saying is, we work hard and do the best we can, and if you see somebody posting something fucked up, the best way to address it is report it. Every report is seen and handled.

You guys have been pretty fucking lenient with these psychos I gotta say.

My guess is MAGA posters like Fox by the Sea are whispering in the ears of admins about left wing bias so that might be why they're lenient on the chuds and brought on two MAGA hires.

Of course who really knows and maybe I'm just salty about being demodded for no reason

This is what right wing populists do to non-whites and minorities as a matter of course, from the unquestioned leader down to the rank and file.

And yet now you want to argue that criticizing cops is basically leading to genocide? What a sick joke, f*ck right off with that dipshit.

No Blue Name,

I do not have to respond…

All of this would have been avoided if a certain individual was not in the Epstein files.

Well you were harassing Cajun a bit and he probably cried about it which I understand. Should've just leave the harassing to me, but I can't really stand that guy either so I try to ignore him lmao.

I underestimated how thin their skin is, Cajun in particular was quite a sensitive baby and even asked for a ban shortly afterwards.

Yeah I think he's still on seppuku timeout

I don’t get why people do that. Can they really not just stop posting on their own?

Seems like a very left wing thing to do.

Like I said Cajun seemed like a sensitive baby so not too surprised about him doing so. I just don't get coming to the War Room and then crying about people disagreeing in harsh terms.
