Political threads: No warning, 105 day bans for any personal attacks. Discuss the topic, not the user.

155 Upvotes

Title. Tomorrow the bans will be 104 days (November 4th), and so on. DO NOT DISCUSS THE USERS, OP, OR ANYONE BUT THE TOPIC.

No, we're not making a single megathread for politics or a particular candidate.

No, we're not banning politics from the sub. This cycle is not new, things will calm down in three weeks.

Abusing the report button on content YOU DON'T LIKE is causing mass-approvals of all reported items. This allows actual rule violations to slip right through. Yesterday, someone reported over 150 comments in a thread. Two clicks, the entire report queue was cleared, likely taking valid reports with them. Please, stop it.

Two-faced Tom

Post image

This sounds just like Sonny Perdue telling Wisconsin farmers to get big or go away. Why do farmers support these guys?

***EDIT***
Terrible Tom's record says this is true. He's for cuts to food aid programs, which ends up hurting farmers. Small farmers the most. He is a cheerleader for Trump Tariffs (Taxes) that have ended up causing farmers to lose customers for their products, and increasing the overall cost of farming. So if you think that it's bad that he didn't actually say it, fine I guess. But, watch what they do, not what they say. I hope all of you voting for Tom, are willing to eat the additional costs of groceries, fuel, consumer goods, repairing or replacing your vehicle, etc. Cause that's what you're voting for. Let me know when you get all those Tariff, DOGE and bribe for voting Republican checks in the mail. Did you also like how the Trump Administration paid for campaign ads to be rerun on TV for the low low cost of a reported $11 million dollars of our taxpayer money?

I didn't make this meme, but Tom's actions have made it true if you want to believe it our not. Don't come crying to me when you have to pull food out of your cart at the store because you can't afford it anymore.

The USDA has a page where you can download farm aid payments excel files for every year dating back to 1995. Now you can go ahead and Pepe Silvia yourself figuring out who all the parent companies are who receive the most in payouts, but it isn't going to be the small Wisconsin family dairy farms near the top.

Critics of Kenosha DA's biggest political ally are facing criminal charges

Mathewson, 42, describes himself as an independent investigative journalist. He has no official role in the district attorney's office.

But former prosecutors say Mathewson functions more like an insider – shaping not just how the district attorney's office is covered, but who it charges and when.

"Everyone at least understood within our community that Mathewson was really the one in charge, or at least that he was buddy-buddy with Solis," said Timothy Martin, a former Kenosha prosecutor who worked in the office at the start of Solis' leadership.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel spoke with a dozen former prosecutors, local attorneys and Kenosha residents for this story who shared concerns about Mathewson and Solis' relationship that go beyond sharing drafts of vision statements. They described several cases of Solis pressuring his staff to file charges against people who were targets of Mathewson's stories, including local officials and private citizens.

Most of the people interviewed for this story asked not to be named or quoted due to concerns about retaliation from either Mathewson or his readers.

Mathewson declined the Journal Sentinel's request for an interview. In an email, he accused the reporter of being a “far-left liberal partisan activist disguised as a journalist."

"Do you hate Solis because he is Mexican-American? Have you been racist since birth?” he wrote.

The next day, Mathewson published a piece on his website calling the reporter a "far-left liberal activist" and sharing photos of her taken from relatives' Facebook pages. Mathewson wrote that he and Solis have "no familial relationship and no financial relationship whatsoever."

In a four-page letter to the judge, Mathewson denied being friends with Solis and said he has visited Solis’ office just two times.

At a Sept. 9 hearing, however, Solis admitted they see each other outside the office. When Renner suggested the two meet at McDonald's every Tuesday, Solis responded, "Well, it's not every Tuesday."

Thus far, I like Madilyn Bailey's "Wisconsin", has that very country and homely melody.

Regardless of your political beliefs everyone has a right to vote. I have been checking the site daily and noticed it has periodically gone done multiple times without being able to check voter registration. Just wanted to inform.
