    Because Trump literally was talking about deporting legal Ukraine nationals from the US for no reason and no criminal actions, just because they came from Ukraine and were here legally. Don’t come at me when you don’t know.

      I’m very much aware. The problem is that’s not at all what this story is about, so you’re introducing irrelevant info into the thread.

          You are arguing with a mod and journalist of nearly 30 years. I am not going to go into a treatise on why your point is correct but not correct for this discussion.

            Allow me a treatise on why you should play hide and go fuck yourself.

            So what if you’re a mod? That doesn’t mean that you’re right. Where the fuck do you get off threatening another user who makes a point you don’t like just because you have mod power?

            Real "because I said so!“ vibes. You’re weird.

            Can you explain what you meant to imply by this? It’s just coming off as a veiled threat that you’ll ban me for arguing with you as I’m reading it.

              I speak plainly. There is no implied threat. I’m simply stating that my experience makes me suited to know when a fact is useful in a discussion.

                  I don’t think there’s any way to be taken any other way than beeing an entitled asshat, so let’s start there.

                  This is my career. I mean, it was, but newspapers aren’t what they once were. So when a random chance encounter led me to lead U.S. News, I couldn’t really resist.

                  Let’s not presume one’s journey.

                What about moderation makes that so more than the average users experience? If anything I would think the biases and repetitive nature would do the opposite.

                  Modding is honestly a few more minutes a day than just being a twice-a-day user. That’s how I fell into this!
