13. These types of threads are hopeless and should be informally banned.

Let's look at some problems.

  1. No link. It's a picture. A picture.

  2. No specific charge. "Bargaining chip?" What's that? Huh?

  3. Says nothing about Republicans. Let's not focus on nine tenuously accused jaywalkers when their are hundreds of Jack the Rippers.

  4. Says nothing about seniors who vote Republican. Dems who want to protect Social Security and Medicare should be talking to their Republican-voting friends.
