How GOP moves on post Trump will be very interesting. Will they continue pandering to the worst of the Trumpian base? Or try to return to more moderate stuff, knowing the Trump screachers will still at least vote for them as they’ll never look at democrats.

Best bet is to probably keep some of the lefty hatred going so that they don’t become apathetic voting block that doesn’t show. But they need to not have another Trump type capture enough for a primary win again. Unless they for some reason want that.
I think that "Trumpism" is only going to keep burrowing in deeper and deeper, even if his name gets distanced from it, due to the structural advantages that have been built in over the last 15 or so years. And with the way redistricting is going to go, things aren't likely to improve. If the GOP had to actually compete with rival political and social ideas in large swaths of their domain, it would be different. But the hyper partisan safe districts and almost complete lack of accountability in the Senate means that the real competition is internal. Primaries have so often become a competition to promise the biggest, most heinous power fantasies involving punishment for the other side. All the worst, ugliest, most aggressive and fractious ideas are pushing more and more to the front because that's what happens when there are minimal boundaries. They are like bratty children that have discovered the teacher can't actually force them to sit down and shut up during class time. What does someone do when they have almost no boundaries? The answer is.... whatever they want. And really, it makes perfect sense. Why on Earth should Mitch McConnell listen to anyone but his donors and private corporate interests? I mean, give me one good reason lol. There aren't any. He knows he is literally immune to losing elections in his own state, and he knows that the structure of the Senate map gives his party enormous advantages. Furthermore, just about the only thing that would piss his constituents off would actually be compromise and cooperation lmao. The bloodthirsty portion of the GOP base gets to revel in power fantasies of social and political control, and guys like Mitch get to actually pull those levers of control to enrich themselves personally.
 
@Lead we’re all dying to know if it’s a permaban or temporary timeout, also if it was due to the :eek::eek::eek::eek: accusation against the guy that bragged about going to Thailand for prostitues

Temp ban.

In general, this has been said many times but do not accuse, implicitly or explicitly, another poster is a :eek::eek::eek::eek:phile. If they post anything that could suggest it, report it so moderation can deal with it. You are only going to get yourself in trouble if you accuse others posters of it.
 
Can we make the claim that a poster isn't absolutely not a :eek::eek::eek::eek:? Or do we have to positively affirm the non-:eek::eek::eek::eek: nature of every other poster here, like catholics saying ''peace be with you'' on sunday?

Trots was hitting Oeshon for his own comments in the past (connecting some dots in a controversial way, though). Don't think there's anything to moderate there. But anyway, good that it's only temporary. I've had issues with him playing looser with the truth than I think is right but he's a major contributor here.

Yeah. I mean it’s beyond scummy to be bragging about making $30 hookers buy you dinner in addition to the sex, but he never implied she was underage.

for the chick? 1000baht. included a few sessions and she also bought me dinner.

But still so weird that of all the super strict lines to take this is where Sherdog has a 0 tolerance policy

glad to hear it’s a temp
 
Hmm. I think they changed it last second. No doubt he’s complaining to them and he is a well known poster. A lot of this place comes down to traffic. He’ll be in thin ice though.

Im still waiting on those yellows you promised me good sir. Im starting to think this your news sources are very misleading.

As a temp ban and not a permanent one, I can’t get to into the details there. That’s why I just made a comment in general. Reporting is the route to go to stay in the clear.

See above. I’m just giving general advice here as I have in the past.
