Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Getting a bit annoyed at DC Draino today for not really explaining the reasons why the 12 "RINOs" voted against the fine, other than banging the drum to pump up sinful bloodlust amongst my fellow MAGA-men.
He is against RINOs and Demonic Rats. Fine. So do I. But if we go about omitting important pieces of information like the concerns that:
1.) Congress might not have the authority to impose multi-million dollar fines like that (should be left to the courts), and
2.) that the fine of that magnitude would draw fire from the 8th Amendment of the US Constitution (specifically the parts banning excessive fines or cruel and unusual punishments),
then how are we better than the tyrannical Deep State we fight against? Lying by omission is still lying and it is not our way. DC Draino's starting to sound like a grifting influencer at this point...
...
Sorry for the rant, but lies (especially lies by omission) from predominate members of the MAGA movement irritate me so.

You have to realise by now that not all information can be released just like that, hence this whole ordeal we have to endure. There are layers and layers of optics, and most people are not even aware of all the optics for every issue.
