No “standards” re political mentioning on TOTV. Simply go back and check off the posts that ARE political-mentioning. Still there. And really they all seem to reflect “one side”. Enough said.

"The Mods" don't read every thread. If you want them to see a problem post, report it using the little red triangle in the upper right corner of the problematic post...

I've moderated music forums for over 20 years... THAT'S like herding cats...

Instead, I think you and those like you are stupid.

Now it's 99%? I guess the fake number keeps growing... It's a nonsense factoid that has been debunked multiple times...

But, as Abe Lincoln once said, "You can't fool ALL of the people ALL of the time.

Wearing Nazi insignia (including some who proudly sported SS pins) while lined up on public walkways while shouting "Jews will not replace us" to passersby is considered intimidation and, by definition, a hate crime. Here's the pdf link:

The Supreme Court has ruled that type of behavior is allowed...

If you want more information, check case law, state general statutes, federal law, and local regulations with regards to hate crimes and discrimination based on religion.

Then don't make claims you cannot back up...

Yes, because lithium mining is harmless and electricity comes from the "Electricity Fairy"...
