You can't just blame everything on the Russians. For all we know they were checking themselves to make sure there was nothing suspicious in there.
I can't believe so many people are willing to sell out to the Russians for the sake of seeing an orange buffoon in office.

That is why I just do Trump the orange font with Trump it's not nicknaming(as I am not saying anything), but implying something else. It's skirting the rules, but then again so does everyone.

Kyrusia took NWG to task for trying to tap-dance around the trolling rules that govern nicknaming. In no way did Kyru say the post was blameless.

However, I also concede a certain level of inconsistency here prior to Farnhamia's warning. From what I can tell, this is because other instances of 'Orange' cited in Thermodalia's appeal weren't reported rather than mods deliberately overlooked nicknaming cases of 'orange [noun]', but clearly an inadvertent impression of inconsistency has been given - though note that where a case of typing 'Trump' in orange font was reported, Kyrusia issued an immediate cease and desist order, with a clear threat that continuing the practice would be treated less leniently.
On the basis that ex post facto enforcement of a clarified ruling would be unfair, I won't go back and retrospectively warn all of the individuals cited in Thermodalia's appeal. However, I do accept that Thermodalia's appeal has helped to emphasise that this practice is more widespread than we might have realised, and that where cases of 'orange [noun]' are used to refer to Trump from this point on, we will consider them actionable where they are reported. In that sense, the appeal has been useful and constructive.
So we will strive for consistency moving forward.

When I read Thermodalia's post I thought the use of "the orange menace" was meaning "that's because of their obsessive fear and dislike for Trump, or, as they say, the orange menace" rather than explicitly calling Trump (a) orange and (b) a menace. Therefore, I am wondering (as it seems this wasn't Thermodalia's usage), if for whatever insane reason I decided to imitate the construction but really did use it with this meaning, would that be a problem? Or, alternatively, has it always been the case that saying something like, "The alt right is so obsessed with defeating the 'democraps' they never bother to properly examine [subject of thread]" is forbidden and I have just not noticed?

Many of the interventions cited in your articles followed years if not decades of internal turmoil following the collapse of central authority (usually ruthlessly authoritarian) with the arrival of armies directed by previous administrations. Whether or not following up on the messes created by previous administrations is debatable, but I think it's unfair to put the blame for those messes squarely on Hillary when she didn't start it in the first place.
Iraq and Afghanistan? Yes. Inherited chaos from Bush's adventures, both of which however were backed by Clinton. Libya and Syria, nope, all product of the Obama and Clinton administration. I mean you could argue that they've learned from previous debacles by refusing to deploy ground troops. But then again they're actively undermining established states by effectively arming and supplying jihadists so...
At any rate you lot seem to be so used to fending off attacks from Trumpites on this topic, that you think I'm personally going after Clinton in some moral emotional way. In this case all I'm saying is judging from her words and deeds she will be an interventionist hawkish president on foreign policy.

I will say, in my 29 years of membership in the LP I have never heard an LP candidate of any level advertise locally. Quite a show of organization that even the Trump dumpster fire hasn't managed to do in this "battleground" state. I don't even think there are any Trump yard signs within 50 miles of here, and my commute to work takes me through miles of conservative rednecks and affluent suburbs.
The reason i am here though, is the fact that while i may be a Constitutionist, and my ideals match MOSTLY with CP candidate Darrell Castle, i know that there is a very slim chance he will make it past Gary Johnson in the polls. Therefore, to avoid Killary Clinton or dumpster fire Trump, i'm voting for LP candidate Gary Johnson. Although, i'm not sure how his voters might react to his "What is Aleppo" fiasco.
And there's alot of people saying he's not Libertarian and that he's faking it.

I honestly don't know if this mention of "Shillary" is actionable. There is indeed a Gerald Drumpf in this roleplay, but (according to a search of the topic) this is the first Shillary I've seen so far.
