squistion

Please. No, fresh ground pepper is superior to pepper that was pre-ground weeks or several months ago as it has a sharper taste and those with a distinguishing palate should be able to taste the difference. It is worth paying the extra for a pepper grinder IMO.

Who cares outside of Max?

They never have seemed to be able to grasp the distinction between a drag queen and a transgender person.

It is related to the subject matter of the thread, about the country the twitterer hails from, so it is not irrelevant as I mentioned that some of those that I follow are from other countries (as I imagine the origin of many of the bots are too).

One would guess that he is big fan of the Leviticus prohibition of male same-sex acts in the Old Testment, but probably disregards the other prohibitions found there, such as eating pork and shellfish or wearing clothing made from two different kinds of material.

Well, I didn't know that many of the MAGA related accounts were foreigners but I knew they were probably bots from the scant number of accounts they were following and who was following them. I follow many foreign accounts (Canada, the UK, Sweden and Europe) because we share similar interests in music, however, coincidentally, they almost all have a dislike of Trump and are dismayed/appalled at the authoritarian direction he is attempting to take this country.

Does anyone here seriously believe that he has actually read the Quran outside of some anti-Muslim translation and interpretation?

Well your exact words were: I am among the "libs" here (there aren't that many of us) and offen accused of getting folks banned. I believe he probably got suspended, although there is no way for me to know for sure. Hell Toupee bumped like 10 old threads of mine yesterday morning, so I wasn't directly involved but something triggered him to single me out (I think he may have been trying to make some point about TDS and went a little overboard). So if he was suspended, I was an indirect cause and was not directly involved.

I thought it was rather tasteless, but then I have never found most Republican humor to be particularly funny.

We have had such a long hiatus from political violence? The shootings of Minnesota State legislators that resulted in two deaths and two seriously wounded was in June of this year. https://en.wikpedia.org/wiki/2025_shootings_of_Minnesota_legislators

What planet is one living on if they consider Trump a centrist?

I think he has been given a time out but I wasn't directly responsible. After logging on early yesterday morning and making a few posts I noticed that the 10 most recent threads at the top of first page were all older threads of mine that Hell Toupee had bumped for some unknown reason (threads that were up to 2 years old that no one had posted in for months). The threads were all Trump related and his bumping post just said one word "Trump!" I was trying to figure out what this was about and what my response should be (like a disclaimer thread saying "I am not bumping these!") when all the threads suddenly disappeared from the page. I am guessing a mod deleted all his bumping posts or maybe HT had second thoughts and did it himself, although he hasn't posted since the threads were taken down so I am guessing a suspension.
