“Mods have been asking for a QAnon ban for months”
NTers complain about Moderation. They should try NEXTDOOR! NT's Mods are doing their best to apply an interpretation of the CoC that is IMNAAHO impossible to apply. NEXTDOOR Mods apparently don't even have a clear CoC to apply! In a Trumpland like Yuma... that's not easy!

“Her support for impeachment is a late but welcome act of leadership”
This may be an attempt to corral the non-denialist rump of the Republican Party, on the presumption that the Party is going to splinter. Or it may be an act of moral courage... from a Cheney??

“Donald Trump is not an aberration but a blueprint.”
Trump is not an aberration... but he is an outlier, even among Republicans ... No, that's not quite true... Trump was an outlier. He has wrenched the Republican Party into denialism. Are there enough realists left to bring the Republican Party back to reality?

“At least several users of the far-right social network Parler appear to be among the hoard of rioters that managed to penetrate deep inside the...”
The other day, I seeded a call for a 9/11-style commission. Now I see that House Republicans are calling for such a commission, instead of impeachment. And none suggested that the commission would have subpoena power... There is no reason not to immediately impeach the President, whose words...

“Move seems designed to restrict Biden administration's options as secretary of state confirms killing of al-Qaida leader in Augus”
We've had troops in Afghanistan for NINETEEN YEARS. Does anyone remember why we invaded all those years ago? To destroy al Qaida, who were sheltering there. Anyone want to bet on an Iran war before the week is out?

“A top staffer at the House Armed Services Committee ripped lawmakers who backed Donald Trump's challenge to Joe Biden's win”
Is this genuine outrage? It's kinda late... Is this a rat getting away from a sinking ship? In any case, it's better than most...
