Early Festivus.

So that leaves Ken Chesebro by himself for his trial (he and Powell were the only ones who initially requested a speedy trial) in Fulton County next week. We'll see if he also flips on the Donald or whether he risks going to trial and potential prison time.

Taking a plea.

Jordan is out of the Speaker race. Next?

If they re-elect McCarthy, will they do away with that rule that one person can call for vote to remove?

[GoMuskies]

I can't imagine McCarthy would take the job again unless they make that change.

Jim Jordan, legislative genius at work:

Jordan is out of the Speaker race. Next?

Hopefully someone who will cut spending. A lot.

Ok, was this a style guide like what the AP puts out?

So Lou was banned again for "annoying people"?

Who? Xville?

So Xville gets to throw out racist tropes against several Xavier players; make inappropriate comments about the mental state of another player; bully, slander and call everyone names on this board - and then runs to the mods and complains when someone pushes back to get them censored and cancelled!!

And yet he gets to run free!!

Unbelievable!!

Why the double standard mods?????

So, Mods, are you going to respond or address the points I made above and in my PMs this morning? I’ve heard nothing from you.

Why is Xville being protected? Why is he treated like the “Golden Child” around here?

Why is there an arbitrary application of the “rules” - when Xville has so clearly crossed as many lines as Lou has, yet he continues to roam free on this board?

Speaking of “rules”, what exactly are the rules for this board that Lou has supposedly broken? Lou was “annoying people”? Are you serious? That’s the whole point of this thread! Every single person on this board annoys some other subset of this board on a regular basis. Why is it different for the “Golden Child”?

There are any on this board that have butted-heads and have experienced Xville’s belligerence on a fairly regular basis over the years, but there’s been complete silence from you. Hell, MOR, you’ve been a special target of his ire for well over a year now – do you not think he would try to silence you as well if he could?
