Could we perhaps get a single dedicated thread for Florida man stories? At least the non-overtly jpolitical ones? I understand it's something of a swing state, and that some stories (like the recent arrest for threats against prominent minority Democrats) do have significance, but stories like the following feel like clutter:

Florida man arrested for impersonating officer after pulling over detective

Florida man gropes fingerprint technician after being arrested
   
Florida man arrested outside Olive Garden eating spaghetti with bare hands

Can we please merge:

https://talkelections.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=374047.0

into

https://talkelections.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=338687.50



We do not need two different threads about Matt Taibbi repeating fringe Republican talking points.

We currently have four threads on things Donald Trump has said at recent rallies, two here in U.S. General Discussion:
https://talkelections.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=395480.0
https://talkelections.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=395680.0

And two more over in U.S. 2020 Presidential Election:
https://talkelections.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=395472.0
https://talkelections.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=395483.0

There were two more Trump rallies in Ohio today (9/21) that were even more extreme than he usually is, and which will likely get some news coverage tomorrow (9/22), and may very well prompt more discussion either here in U.S. General or over in the 2020 Presidential forum.

Could we get these merged into a single thread that's clearly for the rallies and their aftermath? Blue3's thread in the 2020 board has probably the most appropriately generic title, and I think 2020 would be the appropriate forum.

I'm not sure how coordinating between mod teams for the different forums works, but any consolidated thread here or in 2020 seems like it would be better than the continued shotgunning of "Trump said X yesterday" threads. (And it seems unlikely he's going to stop having rallies or stop saying new controversial stuff at them.)

Could we get an Afghanistan withdrawal and immediate aftermath megathread? Afghanistan discussion will need to go to International eventually, but for now its still very much a domestic political issue. On which we currently have sixseven threads, plus a poll.

I think we need a pinned megathread for US reactions to the situation in Ukraine.

There are currently several different threads from the last month:

https://talkelections.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=473316.0
https://talkelections.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=473995.0
https://talkelections.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=476513.0

Plus several polls:

We don't need two threads on the potential UAW strike. This thread was first:
UAW threatens strike, demanding 32 hour work week and 40% pay raises

This is the other thread:
Trump blasts UAW leaders over strike and warns jobs could be outsourced to China

Merge all the sticky threads about Trump on this board... or unsticky them at least.

Merging them would make even following, much less discussing, the court actions around Donald Trump's frauds, felonies, etc virtually impossible.

It does take up a lot of board discussion space. And it should. A wealthy former President tried to do an end-run around our elections to stay in office, and also broke a number of laws on other matters. Bringing him to justice is a complex and wide-ranging process.

I don't know how many threads we want in US General Discussion about the Israel-Hamas war, but we certainly don't need two different ones for the same legislative proposal.
