I completely understand why you would give me a warning for calling Mikesez a simpleton and deleting that post. I would like to humbly apologize, even though I am having a hard time understanding how he could reduce the complexity of my argument to one factor. Maybe you could explain to me how he tries to take the whole of our justice system, especially this thing called prosecutorial discretion, and reduce it to the jury pool. I mean, it's not like there's a GIANT track record of trials taking place in DC being favorable towards the establishment. It's almost like there is this bias that affects the outcome, but I digress. Either he has a fundamentally oversimplified view of how people are brought to trial and how sentences are recommended, or he's being disingenuous. I mean, I'd hate to call the guy a liar? Do we get warnings for that, too?

Again, I beg you.... please accept my humble apology. He isn't a simpleton. He's simply wrong about a ton of stuff... I don't know what that would make him, though. I'm sure there's a word for it.

Take that warning off my account. He knows what he's doing. There are moderators here who do way worse on the regular.

Don't get whiny. The warning will expire before too long.

That was sarcasm, bro. I don't care what you do. Simpleton is to don't be simple as whiner is to don't get whiny. If all you need me to do is add three words, I'll keep that in mind for future reference. I think we're really going places with these high standards.

Speech that says we should stop having a constitution, that the president, congress and courts are no longer legitimate, is permissible per the 1st amendment,  of course.  But it is still against the constitution.

More words are violence nonsense. Are people who want to ban ARs being violent against the constitution, too?
