Current Events is now open!

[Moderator_1]

Somewhat ironically, I was opening up the site earlier this week with the intent to reopen this forum when I discovered the site wasn’t here!

Now that we’re up and running again, we’re going to give Current Events a try again.

PLEASE, be civil to each other. No foul language. No personal insults, even if you think the shoe fits. This includes calling other users, or stereotyping members of political group they belong to as, trolls, racists, snowflakes, etc.

Please remember that this is a horse forum. This is not a professional political forum moderation staff. We’re just over here doing our best to give you a place to discuss different sides of an issue, and it’s kinda crappy to be accused of being this or that when we’re genuinely just trying to provide a place for people to discuss issues that matter.

As with any topic, we really try to keep any personal feelings we have on an issue out of the decision-making process. I’m confident we’ll make bad decisions along the way…or maybe non-decisions, as in general, we try to keep as hands-off an approach as we can and let you guys create the over-riding environment here.

Have at it!

@Moderator 1 glad I saw this. I don’t know if it’s a common problem for everybody, but the forums aren’t all showing up, including the help forum on my Samsung (or was it too long a week at work?). Also can’t go to the next page on subscribed threads.

Congress refused to even discuss Merrick Garland until the next election. This is their job. unacceptable. Every argument they made was bull%&%&^%.

VOTE AND BE RECORDED. You don’t like him? Tell me why. I’ll listen. But you did not. You sat on your thumbs until the election was over. You disgust me.

Congress has a bill on immigration and allegedly won’t even hear the bill prior to the next election. Holding the country hostage to THEM.

AGAIN??? For a year? WTF and WTF - that was what and why - are we waiting? When I win I will tell you my intentions?
I don’t even need to hear from a Trump supporter. YOU TELL ME what your local GOP person has done for you. Actually, what they have done for your COMMUNITY.
