This has all the appearances of being Political! What think ya'll?
IMHO not really. It is not favoring one party or politician over another. That is where it would be a problem. OTOH, a baboon might feel insulted to be compared to a congressman.
However, I wouldn't complain if it was deleted.

I'm basing my argument on the words "Congress" and "Tax Dollars" as having Political overtones! "Congress" is in Washington and is run by Politicians, who are the ones who spend Tax Dollars. Sounds Political to me!

No no, nothing political here, just stating the obvious. 😏

I know two things: 1) If it was your guys and gals in charge, you never would post that picture. 2) If Rob49 posted that picture, it would already have been deleted and he would be banned for the 28th time. That is what is obvious to me. Now you will come back with your lame reasonings. I'm bored with you, so I'll just sign off.

You want a video Whine and Lerry, well here's one for you. Considering the intent, this video/post is definitely political, and not informative, inspiring or funny (well, except to johnny, maybe). "Give them enough rope and they'll hang themselves" .

You want a video Whine and Lerry, well here's one for you. I will assume that you are calling me Whine, which I consider disrespectful and violates Rule #1: "1) Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, with respect and kindness. (There will be no name calling of Jackie, her parents, her siblings, her people, or other members allowed.)" I did not call you names nor did I say anything that would be considered disrespectful about you.
I would ask Admin to take appropriate action!

You implied I was the type of person that was laughing at crooked Hillarys disgusting remark about black people all looking a-like, which couldn't be further from the truth. I'm appalled that "thing" was almost elected as the POTUS.

Johnny may have been referring to my post in which I said his "video/post" was "not informative, inspiring or funny (Well, except to johnny, maybe)". It doesn't matter what political party one associates himself or whether he may be neutral or indifferent, it would be obvious that was a political post, funny or not. And, johnny's comment above is unquestionably political. "3) The members have voted No Politics therefore politics will not be allowed anywhere on our forum at the discretion of the admins. Not everyone has the same definition of politics. We are talking about current politics, not politics from 50 years ago." lawrence; I appreciate your mature response in an attempt to explain what the other poster may have been referring to! But, IMHO, it is the other posters responsibility to admit that a mistake had been made and to offer an apology! But, we should not hold our breaths for a forthcoming apology, as none will materialize. Thanks anyway!

I'm pretty sure this is exactly why the Admins do not want politics here. Two days of arguing about nothing, unless you mind someone calling someone, anyone, a monkey. OR maybe they do.

I have deleted the original offending post. I remind everyone that politics is not allowed here even when you try to sneak it in the back door with an outside link.

What is this? A joke! Posting politics is violating the rules, no matter how trivial or whether you have dinner at the Admin's house!

A libertarian Elvis? Bit of a libertine maybe ( ); but libertarian, I kinda doubt.
