Show me where Biden says "I'm not that P word".
Here, I'll make it easy:
Something something glass house and throwing stones.
You're both asses here. One is also a liar. Mr. Richard - don't threaten to abuse the report feature to win arguments. Also, stop with misinformation.
Varyk - Stop with rhetoric that will goad people into fights.
First, last, and only warning.

This is going off the rails, with all sides telling each other not to vote. Locking as there's too much to mod here.
Locking this down.
Too many heated comments
[META] Political News
Hello fellow Lemmys. The mod team here at [email protected] has been in discussions about the best approach to ensure we stay unbiased with news during the U.S. Election Cycle.
While we can't say "don't point out flaws in candidates" - nor would we want to - we do believe that when you excessively post/comment/reply negative things in News about one person, instead of, say mixing it up about topics, this feels like you are using [email protected] as a propaganda machine.
While propaganda is a normal part of elections, by posting only one topic, about one person, you are abusing the NEWS community for politics, and this could even be seen as election interference. There are other communities that this would fit better.
Doing this will result in posts/comments being deleted (with the option to appeal, of course). Repeat offenders may see temporary bans. Keep doing after that, and you may reach our perma-ban list.
As of right now, this only apples to politics. We don't plan to extend this to other areas, but that will change as needed.

reported this comment because you quoted his comment, which broke community rules.
Same thing as fair use - you weren't making the comment, you were arguing against the comment. Leaving it. tsonfeir can deal with the shame of his words.
Gave them a 7-day ban for that comment, plus trying to win an argument via reporting you.
There's got to be easier ways...

Former President Donald Trump's campaign and businesses have provided "significant financial benefits" to nine of the witnesses in his criminal cases, ProPublica reported Monday morning -- shrugging off a threatening cease-and-desist letter sent by Trump's attorney.
Former President Donald Trump's campaign and businesses have provided "Significant financial benefits" to nine of the witnesses in his criminal cases, ProPublica reported Monday morning - shrugging off a threatening cease-and-desist letter sent by Trump's attorney.
The detailed report by ProPublica's Robert Faturechi, Justin Elliott, and Alex Mierjeski describes how nine individuals who have been named as witnesses received benefits that included "Large raises from his campaign, severance packages, new jobs, and a grant of shares and cash from Trump's media company" from Trump's various campaign committees and businesses.
These benefits "Often came at delicate moments in the legal proceedings against Trump," said the report, highlighting one example of Trump aide Dan Scavino, who was given a "Plum position on the board of Trump's social media company, for example, got the seat after he was subpoenaed but before he testified." Other well-known names in Trump's circle mentioned in the article include campaign adviser Boris Epshteyn, campaign head Susie Wiles, lawyer Evan Corcoran, and former Trump Org CFO Allen Weisselberg.
Salary increases, bonuses, promotions, and other benefits, can be evidence of witness tampering, the ProPublica article explained, if prosecutors can show that these employment changes occurred separate from normal business operations and the "Perks or punishments were intended to influence testimony." Even if no new charges are brought against the former president who is now a convicted felon, the details of these benefits could be used by prosecutors in Trump's still-pending cases to "Undermine the credibility" of these witnesses if the defense calls them to provide testimony helpful to Trump.
The Trump Org and various campaign entities have, of course, denied that any wrongdoing took place, and denied that Trump had knowledge or direct involvement in compensation issues.
One former aide compared working for the Trump Organization, his large company, to "a small family business" where every employee "In some sense reports to Mr. Trump." Former aides have said Trump demands unwavering loyalty from subordinates, even when their duties require independence Trump's former campaign manager and former campaign adviser were convicted on federal witness tampering charges in 2018 and 2019.
Trump posted on social media that he had read about a Georgia politician who "Will be testifying before the Fulton County Grand Jury. He shouldn't." One witness has said publicly that, when he quit working for Trump in the midst of the classified documents criminal investigation, he was offered golf tournament tickets, a lawyer paid for by Trump and a new job that would have come with a raise.

the modlogs show that we do take action, but only when justified. Just because you feel something is justified, that doesn't mean you're right.
A report doesn't mean you'll get what you want. Moderators will review the report, and see if it has merit.
Insulting us is the best way to make us do our job /s
I understood from the outset. Have a great day!
Ah yeah. Please explain how that is a personal attack. They surmised that something must be affecting your taste buds if you find that the two drinks taste the same. That would be an accurate summation if they feel the two taste very dissimilar.
I didn't get personal. Sorry if you took it personally.
I actually agree with Treczoks about them not tasting remotely the same.

Received a report for this comment. Keeping it up.
Yes. I'm a mod. I've seen it all - both sides. It's easier to give you both a warning instead of banning.
I'm sending this message to both of you. Please move this argument to DMs, or the mods here will give you a 3-day vacation from this community.
