Here's why I ask. Dino and Dill or whoever could be the most blatantly biased, inconsistent, selective, partisan liberal hacks on this whole world. I'd say they are not, but whatever. When they post something and there is a valid point included in that post, or when they just seem right, it makes no difference. In this case, Trump behaves incredibly shitty (not least towards police), and that seems like a more important point than Dino's alleged shittyness that makes him unfit to post about it in your perception. In general, it is getting tiresome to read about Dino's/... alleged shittyness time and again. Even more so since although like all of us they are probably not perfect individuals, the cases you make for that are often quite thin. Eg. that Dino does not care about policemen's lifes, that just takes it a step too far.
Here's why I mention all that. It appears making all debates so personal so quickly, and that this board seems mainly about board members' opinions about other board members, drives more and more people away. In this case, it also has quite the appearance of deflecting away from Trump's sins, even though I don't think that is the motivation - but if it were, the result would be the same. This doesn't make the board less tilted, it just makes it emptier.
I'll tell you exactly why and I'll use Trump as an example. If Trump made comments about people being mean on twitter he would be roundly, and correctly, mocked for his blatant hypocrisy. So, when Dino makes a post about caring about law enforcement when he's literally shit on law enforcement for years I'm going to give him the same treatment. The guy's literal introduction to this sub forum was criticizing an officer for a bad shoot when there was actual video showing the suspect pulling a gun on the officer. Since then he's made scores of threads and posts that consistently portray law enforcement in a horrible light. So, when you couple that with the general shit we get on a daily basis, no, I am not going to let him make such a comment without pointing out the insane level of hypocrisy behind it. If you don't agree, that's fine, but from what I've seen from him for years it irrefutable fact.

I actually think it's much more likely now then it was several months ago. Not a fan of it, he needs to go away. I've consistently said I hope Haley runs in 2024 and gets the nod. I think she'd be a shoo-in.
