I'll have to second (or third, or fourth...) that.  Although the
list does not explicitly forbid the discussion of politics in
general (it forbids only the politics surrounding auxlanging),
surely this discussion breaks the spirit of that law.  Especially
given the emotions that the current US President brings on, on
both sides, this discussion can only devolve into name-calling
and flames.
