For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.

Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only

▪️ Title must match the article headline

▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)

▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.

Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.

Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

In America no one is above the law except the president who can operate with immunity and cannot be tried. This is very fair and very healthy.

Dictators always seem to forget that legal immunity just means that accountability comes from a blade rather than a bench. That's not a good time for anyone.

That's not a good time for anyone.

Speak for yourself.

Remember: It's not illegal if the President does it! /s

But only Republicans… as a treat.

We should start using a word besides President.

Most other banana republics use that word too.
