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!

Get it right, motherfucker. He was a socialist. And he was right.
We're talking about people who think giving kids school lunch for free is communism.
"Is there Communism in the room with us right now?" is my go-to reply.
Can you show us on the doll where communism touched you?
LOL, I ask them the same thing about "antifa".
"But it's going to quickly destroy the fabric of the family and the willingness of people to work if we provide assistance to those rightfully placed at the bottom of society!"
-Rich people who opposed the introduction of the Poor Law in Elizabethan England in 1601.
Listen, it is pretty difficult to be able to define all of the words they regurgitate. Do any of us really understand the words that are coming out of our mouths?
..... yes?
Ok, well, that’s probably fake news. Pretty sure you are a Marxist Leninist Post-Communism antisemite. I’m trying to think of all of the other words TFG told me to say, but I don’t have time to listen and “read” things.
Wait a second, why doesn’t anyone talk about how Trump did 9/11? Donald Jessy Rafael financed the whole thing. Well, he said he did, repeatedly.
Fuck, I forgot all about it. It’s easy to forget these things, as I haven’t been spoon fed the bad info by President Powdered Orange Drink. Can ya really blame me? Death Panels!
Thats a neatly condenced rant, for sure.
In my defense, the internet is filled with absolute lunatics.
I appreciate your compliments! Idk why I do what I do. I screw around too much.
I think there was an implied /s. Or at least that's how I'm reading it.
Yes.
But only I understand them.
Cryptolalia is a bitch.
People think absurd things like that because of racism.
