Not only should everyone vote. Everyone should be allowed to.

Note this, my first response.

Negative feedback and allegations of SPAMMING and trolling are arriving on my desk in small but growing numbers.

The art world has a money laundering problem

Oh look

Hunter Biden’s $500,000 artwork is not the real scandal
The art market is a racket — his exhibitions are drawing attention to that

https://unherd.com/thepost/hunter-bi...-real-scandal/

Biden’s upcoming exhibitions in Los Angeles and New York will still see the president’s son “schmoozing with any and all potential buyers.” Which is perhaps why Hunter’s distinctly mediocre artworks are ranging from $75,000-$500,000.

But who is this affair more embarrassing for: the Biden family or the art world? Ironically, Hunter’s scandal-tarnished reputation has also drawn attention to the racket that the art market has become.

According to a Senate-led investigation into two Russian oligarchs who used art purchases to evade sanctions, the art market is now the country’s largest unregulated industry. This makes America a hub in a global art market which is rife with money laundering.

Spamming and trolling? To help me in this, which of my posts are spam and which of them are examples of trolling? I wasn't aware I was interacting any differently than most here. I'm not one to make allegations or give negative feedback, though.

Public admonition is noted, however.

[Rockstar]

Not too worry arlo, I really meant it when I said I find your posts amusing and I really do get a laugh reading them.

Please do continue.

Interesting the Trump haters who were only all to happy to see him banned from social media can’t come to your rescue without looking like hypocrites. And those that believe he should not have been banned seek to have your access restricted.

Though let it be known I acknowledge and respect the Ban Hammer authority belongs to the owner and his chosen representatives.

While we’re on the subject.

Huh? Hiveminding is a Democrat thang.

At least you're not getting personal or trying to bait me, Def.

You know, Democrats actually believe that whole islands can capsize if you overload them with troops. It's like they are just big floating rafts, drifting around the ocean, bumping into stuff. No, it's true! Not just the small fry either but actual members of congress.
