Guess you didn’t read the title https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...ly-as-ralph-northams-fearmongering-falls-flat I do have to give the left some cred because they didn’t start no **** so no **** got started.
So the Governor says it was a strong police presence that deescalated the situation and AOC says there was no police presence. So who’s telling the truth? Answer: They are Dems, their lips are moving, they both lie.

Virginia has a law against masks. One arrest for wearing a mask. We talked about it before but it makes a difference.
It's from the Daily Caller - so it's propaganda - he's sharing the junk that has warped his mind But the idea that dems are rooting for deaths is pretty sick. Goes to show how far @Os Trigonum and @mick fry will go to demonize the other side. meanwhile @rocketsjudoka will continue to talk about how wonderful the senate charade is going as how awesome it is that Mike Lee might vote for more witnesses after he just voted against it.

Bill Weld on "The Values We Share (or Why I Am A Republican)": https://thebulwark.com/the-values-we-share-or-why-i-am-a-republican/ The Values We Share (or Why I Am A Republican) Remembering the values we share. by Bill Weld January 22, 2020 4:45 am I've been a Republican since I was 18-years-old. I hardly recognize the party today—at least, the party in Washington, D.C. But even in the distressed state it’s in, I would rather fix the Republican party than leave it. The Republican party I joined on the eve of the Reagan era brought different people and ideas together. That was the secret of its widespread support. But although it was diverse, it was not unprincipled. When Republicans remember the good old days, we remember the values we share. What do we share? First, Republicans are conservatives. We value order, stability, prudence, honesty, and the preservation of our republic. We have always put a premium on respect for established institutions: they can be improved, but they should not be denigrated or assaulted. What else are we? We are patriots. We love the Constitution, revere the Madisonian system for the political work of art that it is, respect those who defend our way of life, and are watchful against those who would threaten it. We love freedom, and our heritage of freedom. I’ve always said I want the government out of your pocketbook and out of your bedroom. That basic American tradition of individual liberty—and personal responsibility, because to be free you must run your own life—goes back to Madison, Jefferson, and the Founders, who gave us not only our laws, but our greatest words. We are capitalists. We might differ on any number of policies, but we firmly believe there is no such thing as “government money,” only taxpayer money. In my time as governor of Massachusetts, I was named one of the two most fiscally conservative governors in the United States by the Cato Institute. But I don’t consider it just a matter of pinching pennies. It’s about a genuine belief that people are wealthiest and happiest when the government stays away from micromanaging their work, and that if you produce something, it’s yours to keep. And we are republicans, in the original sense: We believe, as Lincoln put it, in government of the people, by the people, and for the people, not that government is a separate entity that dominates its citizens. There’s a place for government, but fundamentally it is there to protect your rights, not to dictate what they are. From time to time, I’ve differed with the majority of my party on some issues, but not on ultimate ends. When I say we have to do something to avert catastrophic climate change, it’s because we should be protecting our citizens’ welfare, not limiting growth or socializing the economy. When I am skeptical of wars in the Middle East, it’s because I think there’s a better way to conserve American power, not because I want to weaken our position. Bottom line: I believe in the Republican party’s core principles, even if I sometimes differ in how I would apply them. The Republican party should return its focus on the 18 issues we agree on, not the 8 we disagree on. We need to get our fiscal house in order and stop running trillion-dollar deficits that are going to destroy us. We need to figure out how to preserve American power and influence in the world while on a budget. (I have some thoughts.) We need pro-liberty judges who will not up-end the Bill of Rights. (I oppose many of President Trump’s policies, decisions, and actions, but I think Neil Gorsuch was a good Supreme Court pick.) We need a real, and humane, border strategy instead of a wall that is a combination of a government land grab and a slogan. We need to go back to supporting free enterprise and entrepreneurship. We need free trade, and trade organizations with international allies, and an end to uncertainty about trade wars. We need a solution to healthcare that brings prices down while turning patients into customers, not supplicants to a state-operated system. We need to protect religious freedom. And we could go on, because there’s a lot of work for us to do. Only by rallying around our core principles again and remembering who we really are can the Republican party become a real governing party again.

So now you are just randomly posting in this thread? I agree with what he is saying but why post it here?
That still does not answer the question. Who is the mod in D&D because its plain as day you are purposely trying to derail a thread.
I don't understand your complaint. Bill Weld's column of "why I am a Republican" is pure disinformation (propaganda) because I have been assured by reputable sources that the Republican Party is now the Gang of Putin. So I have NO idea why you say I am trying to derail a thread. None. Nada. like non.
The BBS has a tool posters can use to filter garbage out of threads. Seeing as you have to commit a war crime before a mod will intervene in a dispute in this forum, you might want to look at those self-help tools.
JV is correct... the easiest solution to any issues with posters here is the "ignore" button. For example, lets say you hate my posts... too many, or lots of tweets. So, simply click on my user name, and a small window pops up. About a third of the way down there are four choices... the one on the far right is "Ignore". I've used the tool for years, not just in D&D, but even in the game thread (any poster that mention Jeremy Lin, either for or against, immediately ignored). I think if more people used the ignore function we would have less caustic back and forth.
I will not put anyone on ignore. I want to be able to track the flow of the conversation and I like to read what bullshit the Trump supporters are saying this week.
Honestly, this is a solid plea by Weld...however, I think it also is part of the problem in today’s political environment. Too many people identify as a political party, or a letter next to a name on a ballot, instead of thinking independently and voting for whoever the best candidate is. It’s a huge reason why we are stuck with the two party system and are constantly given candidates that the majority of the public aren’t happy with. If more folks thought independently and gave themselves more options, an independent candidate or 3rd party might actually have a chance. Unfortunately, being on the winning side seems to be the only thing that matters.
