Well how the hell else is it going to go together ? Fairy dust, unicorn shit glue and Kamala Harris brand lubricant ?

Read and follow the rules, no politics or religion. The fact that it's US politics you're referencing makes no difference.

So if I said I've visited Trump Tower or flown out of JFK that's against the rules ?
How about mentioning I've built and restored Church organs for Baptist, Episcopal, Catholic, Mormon, Anglican and various other denominations too ?
Where do you draw the line ?
Seriously ? 
Show me any country where politics doesn't exist and I'd move there tomorrow. 
And start a cult around worshipping old machines and hot calender babe's
( regardless of their race colour or creed).
No wonder this forum is dead on its feet.
It lives in a fantasy land divorced from reality. The idea has merit but even Robinson Crusoe struggled with lack of social interaction. 
Good job my Robinson mortiser is agnostic and isnt registered to vote. As far as I know..
Didn't stop it getting banned from the old vintage machinery forum though. 
Or was it my shamelessly Martha's vineyard style timber frame house ? 
Who knows ? Everything gets twisted in to politics these days, including being white and male. Oops ! To late, I said it.
Moderator ? Smashes report button furiously.
Freedom is banned. In the land of the 1st amendment. Figures. 
And one final thought. Shaker furniture.
That's religious furniture. Oh I am so screwed. 
I'm having a tea party this weekend. My favourite 70's band is Boston. And the dead Kennedys. 
America had a revolution over excessive rules. So they enshrined religious and speech freedom. 
But you are looking for an excuse to get me banned by provoking me ! An ex pat Aussie who has zero interest in supporting ANY US politician. 
The irony could not be more extreme. 
Have you seen me actually take sides ?
You won't because I am politically and religiously agnostic myself. 
For the record. 
Does that make you feel better ? 
Because I'm at a loss, I really am.

Every post has a Report button and allows for a reaction [...], one being a thumb-down emoticon. It's not my place to censor, but I think given these options, our "community" can democratically self-censor.

Hey, that's the rules; Kamala Harris is a nominee for the President of the United States. You tried to belittle an American politician, by name, yet maintain your flip attitude. You can try to whine and excuse and obfuscate  your way out of it, but you have broken the rules. I vote you off Ellis Island.

I'm no longer going to reply to your comments. I'll be accused of trolling and that is not my intention. 
I'm only interested in communicating with those who want to share observations and advice. Thank you for your input. Your concerns are duly noted. Have a wonderful day.
