You just violated the consent decree. You could get FR shut down.

Are you drunk? I have no authority to ban anyone. I wouldn’t ban you even if I could.

I’m just passing on some passive aggressive friendly advice. lol. I’m trying to help you.

Take it or leave it.

I only posted a link in which YOU gave me. Tell me when, where and how that link could shut FR down.

Sheesh.

If you think that commonly used link that we often see on FR is gonna shut FR down, then I’ll tattle on myself and have the mods remove that post.

It shows how to bypass paywalls, a violation of the consent decree.

Either have banned forever and go away or just go away. Your choice.

Don’t give me any more “passive aggressive friendly advice.”

Lol.Trump is more likely to put Cheney in his administration than in a military tribunal.

From the article:

“ First, there is Trump the moderate. This has always been an underestimated aspect of his brand, because his moderation is united to excess and demagoguery. But Trump is not a movement conservative, not an ideologue outside of core obsessions like trade and immigration, and he no longer has to fear revolts from his right the way he did in the days when he felt the need to pick a religious-conservative Reaganite as his vice president.

Glance over the G.O.P. platform, focus on the substance rather than the capital letters and the Trumpian flourishes, and you can see outlines of the pitch the moderate version of Trump wants to make to swing voters. I’ll be right-wing on crime and immigration, but I won’t touch your retirement programs. I’ll be anti-woke and pro-patriotism, but I won’t be Mike Pence on social issues. I’ll keep the tax cuts I passed last time, but I won’t necessarily pile on more tax cuts for the rich. I’ll keep America out of unnecessary wars.”

Sounds pretty good to me.

You are very cruel, doing that would instantly alienate all people on SS and Medicare - and dovetail with Biden’s cutting of Medicare Advantage plans in 2024 and 2025

You are quite apparently self-obsessed. Social Security has become so vast that you cannot know what I or anyone else means by cutting it without asking for clarification. For example, taking illegals off SSI is "cutting Social Security." Raising the retirement age as indexed to life expectancy is "cutting Social Security." Means testing is "cutting Social Security." I'd hazard that NONE of those measures would affect you. I would also suggest that none of those measures would adversely affect Trump's election.

Get a grip. Entitlements are bankrupting the country, more than anything else. We have choices to make; else inflation will continue to drain the savings of those with the self-control to accumulate them.

You are very wrong and they all would affect me adversely - so knock off the name calling, please.

Again, you come across as a very cruel & heartless person.

Oh, so you're an illegal alien! Welfare case too, thinking yourself entitled to spend other people's money taken by force. And then you get crappy to the people paying your freight when they're trying to keep the government funding you solvent.

- so knock off the name calling, please.

Earth to PIF, you started with the name calling.
