Why do I have to;

"Type the letters shown in the picture" [I can't read half of them and have to keep requesting a new picture]

and type in a box

"What newspaper shutdown it's forums which resulted in this site"

with every post, and every modification of a post?

including this post.

Absolutely no idea.

The first time was presumably in an effort to keep out spammers (not that it seems to do that), but repeatedly?

And I don't remember any other new members reporting that they have had to do that!

I'll poke around a bit and see what I can find. No promises - I have very limited oversight.

It has stopped doing it now, thank you.

Last few days I'm also having to fill in the Captcha to get into the site.  And they've gotten more difficult to decipher and get right than before.  Annoyingly, my login seems to time out after 15 minutes or so.

The above post, filled with hate-filled bigoted slurs against Islam, does not meet the most minimal standards of any forum whose purpose is rational political chat. 

Am simplifying my life right now, cleaning out storage units, so adding Kid to the discard pile fits right in with the task at hand.   I will not read or respond to further posts from this member.

Kid seems to be psyching himself up to commit some trumpy hate crimes. I think he’s still a bigger coward than he is a bastard, so nothing will come of it.

Like any Democrat, from Jimmy Carter to AOC.

Even Uncle Joe or Bernie or Tulsi.

U.S.’S BIGGEST CHRISTIAN CHARITY REPORTEDLY CHANNELED $56.1 MILLION TO PURPORTED HATE GROUPS[/b

Quote
he nation's eighth-largest nonprofit donated $56.1 million to a series of organizations identified as hate groups from 2015 to 2017, according to a report from Sludge.

National Christian Foundation, which identifies itself as the largest Christian grant maker and one of the largest donor-advised funds in the nation, has served as a vehicle for individuals trying to anonymously send money.

Donor-advised funds allow individuals sending the tax deductible contributions to remain anonymous from the IRS and instruct where they want the payments to be sent. For those donating via NCF, this meant sending money to 23 organizations that the Southern Poverty Law Center has labeled hate groups. Most of the hate organizations that received money from the NCF opposed LGBT rights. The report also found that the NCF donated to anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant organizations.

Organizations receiving the most funds from NCF included the Alliance Defending Freedom, which has advocated for sterilizing transgender individuals, and the Family Research Council, which has advocated conversion therapy. Members of the Family Research Council including Tony Perkins, the organization's president, have sought to link pedophilia and homosexuality.

The NCF's website says it has "accepted over $12 billion in contributions and made over $10 billion in giver-recommended grants to more than 55,000 charities."

Tell me more about those good Christians.

Quote
“They (Muslims) abhor Christians, and will continue to press against us until we make sure that we pray and stand and fight and make sure that we know that Jesus Christ our savior is truly the only solution for our world.”

and

"We will continue to fight until the rapture."

Just the man I want conducting our foreign policy. After all, at least jhe knows that Buddhists, Hindus, Jainists, and Jews are of no significance in this world.

Oddly enough, they are working on it, unlike the National Christian Foundation. The problems the SPLC has are real, but they don't change the problems that that the NCF has and those they cause.

Count on you to go after the reporter and not the substance. But hey, the next post is for you!
