The point of this forum is to have discussion not to post non-stop tangent thoughts over and over and over. That is of ZERO value, the only reason people should post is to create discussion and share solid information and his posts do not do this. It is not the first time he has gone this way either so he is lucky there wasnt stronger action taken this time.
One thread cdog...keep it all in a single thread and you can enjoy yourself whenever you like.

Menendez is just like your favorite politician , only he got “ found out “ , think about it .
ahhhhh , the glorious nature of discussion !
where stories , anecdotes , examples , and metaphors are brought forth into the arena of language so that they can be turned upside down and tossed around like a modern day gladiator being mauled by the Lion of conversation …..
and I ain’t lyin’ bout dat homies

He is welcome to post his cut/paste partisan stuff anywhere he wants inside a SINGLE thread, I can tell you like his partisan views and that is groovy for you and anyone who does. But not where it monopolizes and clogs ALL content, even the stuff you do not like as much. The idea here is discussion, respect and consideration not which partisan group you agree with.

Hey yo , I dig it , but I ain’t gettin’ groovy with nothin’ unless it has delicious curves and childbearing hips brother , believe that alright
I enjoy a little discussion , and seeing thoughts manifest themselves from scratch , original thoughts , true thoughts , right or wrong thoughts , how else are you supposed to learn ?
and this isn’t communist Germany , I think my man understands what you told him , and I can foresee him not flooding the forum with a blitzkreig of threads anymore
you made your point . But for you to sequester him inside of one thread is very damning to your integrity if you do not take such measures with others
let that be known
he should still be offered the chance to start new threads at a less explosive pace if others are free to do the same

You get stuck on your narrative and completely miss context, this member has multiple issues doing the same thing, was asked multiple times to slow it down and did not. When someone is abusing rules and not listening, the ask changes because the person isnt listening.
It is very unfortunate that any mod has to waste time babysitting members to just be respectful and be an adult in how you interact with people. We see it in most every section and other members are offended with excessive threads and tangent posts, then they complain either IN threads which causes issues or in user reports that you guys are not seeing but we do. The ask should never be required, you guys should try to interact in a positive way and seek discussion that keeps the rules and is considerate to everyone..not just those of your political party or preferences.

Doesn’t everyone get stuck on things that are important to them wall ?
aren’t the beliefs and the faith and the hopes and desires that really and truly drive us something that should be championed ?
mine come from a good place so if I stick to them like a booger intertangled into a long nose hair so be it
because you do the same thing , and so does fubah , and Kelly , and Macwestie , and vanzack and blah blah blah random poster etc etc …..
not to mention whatever percentage of the 8 billion people plus on this planet that actually use their minds to find something worthwhile to believe in to help them traverse this god damn misery that is bombarding us in between the soft and beautiful whispers of whatever is good that so often times doesn’t shine bright enough or last as long as it should
now I’m gonna speak to you in the language that I grew up in and that I’m accustomed to , so don’t take it offensively or the wrong way ….
” But you got me fucked up right now “
this user has done or is doing things that I with my own non narcotic using eyes have seen you reprimand others for yet they continue to wade in the same “ large “ pool of shenanigans that this guy is choosing to float in …….
it’s all a “ lazy river “ to be honest so what’s the deal ?
if you reprimanded them , and brought things to their attention as I have seen then your words should also trickle down into that pit of despair as well ……
if we are being truthful to ourselves of course
it’s all politics anyway isn’t it wall ?

This is a damn good subject!! Let's make it a good thread.
2006: Menendez is elected to the Senate.
As soon as 2006: Menendez takes weekend and week-long vacations to the Dominican Republic, Florida and Paris with Salomon Melgen on the wealthy doctor's private jet, prosecutors would later allege.
2012: Menendez gets reelected. Melgen is a major donor, contributing about $600,000 to super PACs to help his reelection campaign.
2012: An anonymous tipster reaches out to media outlets and the FBI to claim that Menendez was paying for underage prostitutes while in the Dominican Republic. Those allegations didn't pan out, but they spurred the government's closer look at Menendez's relationship with Melgen.
April 1, 2015: Menendez is indicted on federal corruption charges. It is the first time in a generation that a sitting U.S. senator is indicted by the administration of his own party.
The Justice Department accuses Menendez of using his official position to help Melgen get around U.S. government roadblocks for his business and personal ventures. Melgen also is indicted.
The indictment alleges that the men engaged in a quid pro quo since Menendez was first elected, detailing allegations that included the following:
Menendez took 19 free rides on Melgen's private jets to luxury resorts around the world, sometimes bringing guests.
Menendez helped three of Melgen's foreign-born girlfriends get visas to visit the United States.
Menendez tried to help Melgen settle an $8.9 million Medicare payment dispute, at one point asking then-Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) to help out.
Melgen made more than $600,000 in campaign donations to super PACs to get Menendez reelected in 2012.
Menendez reached out to top State Department officials to urge them to enforce a port security contract with the Dominican Republic that would benefit Melgen's company.
Both men deny the charges. Menendez explains that he and Melgen are old friends and that he treats Melgen like any other constituent in need.

April 2015: Menendez temporarily steps down from his position as the top-ranking Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee as he fights the charges.
His supporters immediately zero in on the benefit that Menendez's resignation could have for President Barack Obama: As a Cuban American, Menendez vociferously opposed Obama's olive branch to Cuba, which was going on around the same time that Menendez stepped down.
( OK, I knew Menendez did some decomcrat wrong somewhere to get attacked like this. There it is.)
In the days before the trial, Obama-era officials defend the indictment.
June 2016: The Supreme Court unanimously overturns a public corruption conviction of former Virginia governor Robert F. McDonnell (R). McDonnell and his wife, Maureen, were convicted in 2014 of accepting luxury gifts and cash from a businessman in exchange for McDonnell using his office to help the businessman.
The justices took issue with what constitutes an “official act,” arguing that in McDonnell's case, it was overly broad.

April 2017: In a separate criminal case, a Florida jury finds Melgen guilty of stealing up to $105 million from Medicare by falsely reporting the cost of treating patients in his Palm Beach County practice. It is one of the largest Medicare health-care-fraud schemes in history. He is sentenced to 17 years in prison.
September 2017: The dual trial for Menendez and Melgen begins in New Jersey. It's the first federal bribery trial of a sitting U.S. senator in more than three decades.
November 2017: After more than two months, the jury tells the judge that it is deadlocked. The trial ends as a mistrial. Menendez is jubilant. “Today is Resurrection Day,” he says.
