politics
Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Who are these brain dead weirdo losers sitting around online drawing arrows on someone's minor man boobage?
Honestly this headline and comments alone make me feel so out of touch. Like I'll go online. And yeah I'll call someone a dumbass if they're saying dumbass things. And yeah it's not that civil I suppose, but what are these weird ass people doing?
Why can't they sit at home and play an MMO all day and not bother anyone? Why can't they watch daytime TV all day? No. They spend their time completely absorbed in the business and private affairs of strangers and they think it has anything to do with policy or politics. These people could be dismissed as unserious lunatics if the shit they were spouting and things they were doing weren't so dangerous and violent.
It's so disrespectful, if someone implied I'd taken estrogen instead of the years I spent carefully crafting my man boobage through sloth and gluttony I'd be speechless
Years ago, there was no internet. Each village had its idiot, everyone knew who it was and to ignore their jabberings.
Then the internet arrived. Eventually the village idiots learned how to use it and they started to seek out idiots from other villages to talk about the things that concern them most.
Eventually some very bad people realized that, while scamming and grifting a lone village idiot like in the old days was a waste of time, now they had a captive audience of millions.
Uhhh.... that's exactly how they recruit new foot soldiers.
People can do all those things, then if they are less than 30 with moobs they should be looking down the barrel of a lifestyle change. Or, whatever, grow some man tits. If you get question marks it's on you for not taking care of yourself.
