I don’t plan to cornfield this thread. The user thus far is not a troll. Just a person of little debate skill and supporting a treasonous ex-President.

What would elevate this person to a troll in your mind? So far all I’ve seen is one half-assed argument followed by just enough insults to keep people engaged.

You really want them gone that bad? Their first post violated 2 rules at once, but as I moved it to the pit, he’s doing nothing wrong. He could easily become more trouble than he’s worth, but thus far he is not. He is no trouble at all. More of a tribble if anything.

Though the “jim” thing is vaguely annoying. But I have to be objective about such.

Needless to say, I love it too. It was the first thing I thought of when I read the OP.

Nice to have a little culture in the pit.

Ah, I see, he’s not a troll insofar as he’s not doing anything worth banning him over. Makes sense, from a moderation perspective. He’s just a useless asshole that isn’t yet worth the trouble it would take to get rid of him.

I think the OP makes an important point here that is being totally overlooked: Biden _weaponized_ the DOJ. Like, the whole thing, FBI and all. I heard he even sent a **kill team** to Mar a Lago with orders to take care of Trump once and for all! And we can see from Trump being found guilty and so many of Trump’s associates being put in jail already that Biden clearly knows how to use this weaponized DOJ. He won’t hesitate to do it and in fact he has been doing it this whole time.

Damn, Joe Biden sounds absurdly powerful and sounds like someone I don’t want to mess with. You know, I had been thinking that Biden was this slow, harmless old guy but now I see that is all an act and Biden is actually smart, capable and vicious. He’s even got his weaponized DOJ trying his own son! Now that’s a kind of leader you’d be crazy to go up against. I think I’d rather be on Biden’s side. Thanks for enlightening me!

Holy shit, Biden sent Warhammer 40k after TFG? Now that’s serious, you don’t lightly mess around with Games Workshop.

That’s why we can’t have a balanced budget; Biden is spending it all on Warhammer minis.
