So we can have threads discussing Democrats at the city council level saying racist things, but have had 3x deleted when it is a sitting GOP Senator? Obviously both should resign, but this is a pretty jarring moderation decisions.

They are? And that's been shown with conclusive evidence?

Huh? Wut? The Democrats on the LA City Council.

As usual, you're leaving out context to push a narrative that never happened.

Is it moderation or did the OP delete the post?

Ok..That was solid. Gotta give props where due

Reread your post, you made no such specifications.

neither @bigbottom nor I deleted our threads condemning Tuberville's racism.

I think I interpreted your statement as being different than you intended. I can see, now, multiple ways of interpreting what you say.
My initial take/read/interpretation was you making a blanket statement - which you then criticize Tommy for.

FWIW, Kevin De Leon isn't your ordinary City Council person. He's a former CA Assemblyman, CA Senator, was the leader of the CA Senate, and ran against Diane Feinstein a couple years ago for the California State Senate Seat. I'm met him. This is someone well respected in CA politics and is a bombshell on the State and local level.
He has to go. Step down immediately Kevin. Zero patience for this stuff.

At the time I didn’t realize the counsel made apologies. I don’t know enough about the Tuberville deal either, but he should be gone also.

The woman and the people on this call should all get the boot.
I assume the ink is drying on the paperwork and the lawyers are reading it over.

OK. But still not answering my question. Why do you think these City Council members immediately issued apologies, resigned leadership, and are being heavily pressured to resign their positions?
The General

The important game starts at 12:37 PST

Agreed they have to go, and I hope you're correct that negotiations are taking place. People can be stubborn.
The General
Footballguy
These people are all going to get as many benefits and salary out of this as possible. I get that.
She will be gonzo.
Haven’t listened to the call but if it is clear the other people on the call acknowledged these comments they will be out as well. All a matter of time.
The General
Footballguy
Yeah. This isn‘t in a vacuum. People have mortgages, have built up benefits they are entitled to etc.Agreed they have to go, and I hope you're correct that negotiations are taking place. People can be stubborn.
They outed themselves and work for the people of LA so the important parts will all happen. See ya folks!

Why do the Tuberville threads keep getting closed?

What exactly are you accusing Joe and his team of here?
squistion
Footballguy
Perhaps the same reason that threads critical of Donald Trump seem to be always shut down (like the innocuous one that just reposted his Tweets when he was still on Twitter).
Meanwhile we can't have a thread discussing mass shootings, but with some logic that I don't understand, a thread falsely accusing liberals of introducing materials into school curriculums with "fisting" and "rimming" in the thread title is left up.

Oh my goodness with the martyr complexes around here. You guys have ZERO ground to stand regarding threads critical of Trump. Those are ALL of the threads in this forum. Literally. The ACTUAL evidence completely contradicts your statement.
BladeRunner
Footballguy
Because those threads aren't in the context of, "Tuberville Statements". They are being titled and talked about in the "Conservatives a Racist. You Guys are Evil" context.
Which, again, is funny considering what just happened with the LA City Council and Democrats on that council being the racists. In that case, those same people saying, "Conservatives are racist and evil" based on the statements of ONE conservative guy but are now saying "Well, it's only a few people on the Council" on the statements based on ONE liberal woman.
squistion
Footballguy
Really? A look at the first page of this forum only shows two (count em!) threads about Trump: "Truth Social" and the long standing "Trump To Infinity and beyond" and that is it.

You can't honestly be this dense, can you? Were you not around from 2015-2020?
I didn't see the first thread, but BB's thread was certainly not titled that. And I didn't see any talk blaming all conservatives in it either. But I could've missed some posts before it got nuked.
What about the "It was a tremendous raid" thread?
squistion
Footballguy
I was here for all those years, which is more than I can for you as you didn't register until 12/07/2019.
And numerous threads critical of Trump have been nuked by mods over the years, but things like people chanting "Eff Joe Biden" is referred to approvingly as some sort of "phenonium" and is allowed to remain (you can't make this stuff up).
squistion
Footballguy
What about it? It is a discussion about the FBI raid on Mar-A-Lago, not about Trump himself - but if you want to count, go ahead, that makes a grand total of 3.

I don't know what goes into the decision making process on what to delete and what not to. I do know I wouldn't want to be in the position of having to decide.
That said, last week I had a post I spent an hour creating, with sources linked, as I went through and systematically dismantled several Trump did a good job as president arguments on issues like national debt, etc. My post was deleted for "inappropriate content". I have no idea what was inappropriate about it, no explanation available, and no recourse to appeal or gain further clarification.
It didn't feel fair to me and I was pretty bummed as the time I put into that post is time I'll never get back. But, I don't know who reported it, or why, or what the agenda of the moderator was. So, I haven't complained. We're guests here and we need to follow the rules, even if they're not always clear and appear to be inequitably applied.

The particular Democrats are racists. I agree. I don't think that makes the entire party racist though.

Yea, I don't get this.

Well no ####, Captain Obvious. You think I can't extrapolate from what I've seen in here since 2019 to happening prior to me being here? You liberals didn't suddenly change your spots the exact same day I arrived.
I was here for all those years, which is more than I can for you as you didn't register until 12/07/2019.

Your martyr complex is vastly understated here. You really think with the behavior exhibited by the left since 2015 wouldn't get some threads nuked? Get outta' here.
BladeRunner
Footballguy
Well, when you deliberately leave out context of course you're not going to get it.

I'm guessing they got deleted because Tuberville's comments were unambiguously racist and yet some people still defended them. Which creates a dynamic that makes the defender appear in an unflattering light, so the defenders reported the thread. Better to delete and sweep it under the rug than own a mistake. That's a guess, but I'm not sure why else those threads were axed.

They can apologize all they want, they shouldn't be in office anymore and should resign.

There are plenty of anti-Trump threads and posts here.
I think it has to do with what the posters report more than anything. Anyone gets shown to be demonstrably wrong about something and it's gone within an hour. That, to me, says there is a person or persons who can't handle being wrong and then report posts until a thread is just closed and deleted.

Lot of whataboutism in this thread. @the moops you around?
I think @The General is right. No way these people survive this:

Yep because they are now in the spotlight (thanks media) and that they are in LA. They are all dead in this job.I think @The General is right. No way these people survive this:

I could see a scenario with people on this call say they never heard this comment on the call but I haven't listened to it to see if that is a obvious.
yeah right. Just like they did in Virginia.

I don't remember anyone in here coming to his defense either.
