As someone who has taken the oath to support & defend ... it's best to remain non-partisan. You have to rise above all of the political bull**** both center right and center left. Most media outlets are slanted one way or another. They're running their game on you. It's the power of the press.

Another factor in the mix is foreign influence in U.S. elections. There's every good reason that you should stay out of this as well.



You know the forum guidelines here. It's best for us to self moderate and avoid the subjects of religion, sex, and politics.

Try to stay focused on the scrapping trade ... ya know ? It helps keep the peace.

If you look back on one of my recent posts ... i was saying to CD that i view economics and politics as being two completely different fields of study. Pure economics are non-partisan. That's probably an okay subject of discussion. The politics ... not so much. It's a fine line to walk.

Of course ... it's completely up to you guys. It's been years since we've had anyone running around with the mod rod. Seems like they pretty much left us to our own devices.
