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!

They’re also mad at Froot Loops right now.
That’s a new one.
Oh it really is a new one.

Thank you, Canada, aggravate away. Gonna go buy some to support the cause and see if I can get some repubs I know on the mailing list or something.
I was wondering why my neighbor was out in his front yard burning boxes of breakfast cereal. His wife was pissed too, she was carrying the AR-15.
It’s a hell of a time when you can’t be certain if this insane collection of words is sincere or not. All of it. It could go either way.
Literally can't tell if he's joking or not. Crazy times we live in.
if msn.com say it's so, then I'm inclined to believe the opposite.
Thank you for volunteering your idiot status.
Here’s one from the right leaning Washington Examiner:

Go have a seat.
You're not going to believe this, but France, Norway, Austria and Finland have all banned fruit loops.
😅
Between the sugar content, preservatives and food coloring that wouldn’t surprise me in the least.
edit: bingo, preservatives and coloring
Must say I’d like to try those versions with natural flavoring.
Yeah, I'm more of a granola kind of a person.
Oh, me too, I haven’t bought cereal like this in forever because I’m not into sugary stuff but hey, for the cause and counteracting magats I’ll make an exception… but if I had the chance I would like to try the “healthy” version just because.
It really is nice when people let you know up front they're not worth taking seriously. Thank you!
Really? Why? Did they just now realize that's not how "fruit" is actually spelled?
I think it has something to do with making a online childrens library?
Those sick fucks
They get really frustrated over this because they can’t call you gay as a retort
Hell, they think retort is a slur.
No they think retort is a food like pork
And Republicans being against diversity, equity, and inclusion.
And literacy.
And Dr Seuss.
Didn't his estate make the decision to pull them, and then Republicans cried about how Democrats were cancelling Dr Seuss? They can never let the facts get in the way.
