This last one (based on Senegold’s posting history) is pretty sure to be an anti-Trump post even if the first two are not. So even ignoring the first two, if this is an anti-Trump post that is not germane to the thread - is that allowed in GD?

*This is about the rules not a “why wasn’t this modded” thread so for those that don’t see the anti-Trump subtlety, let’s for the sake of argument say Senegold comes into the thread and says, “Yeah it’s about Trump”.
