Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Good plan. I'm gonna go lurk for 5 minutes, and see how they're holding up. Will report back momentarily.

Edit: Okay, maybe 5 minutes was too long.

  • They are still caught somewhere in between glazing up DeSantis for his 2028 bid, and arguing over whether that makes sense because Trump will be running for the fourth time. You have to appreciate the irony of that subtle admission that he will either be ignoring term limits if he does win, or that he is going to lose but they still won't be able to get rid of him.

  • Still coping with the fact that Nikki Haley has the audacity to run against Trump given that she is a deep state operative and also a woman.

  • Screaming that the sky is falling like chicken little in the middle of a meteor bombardment because the "radical left" is trying to hold Trump accountable for the crimes he committed even though most of them apparently don't even like him anymore, and are tired of his temper tantrums.

Shit they've been gone too long. They're probably a MAGA nutjob now.

It's not contagious like a disease. It's more like a sticky, oily slime you can just wipe off later. It's unpleasant but reality will be there to clean you off.

That's the thing though. The human garbage that wallows in it daily actually likes the slime. They bathe in it and smell like it, but they can stop whenever they want and come back to the real world.

They choose not to.

A bit worried they’ve converted Riccosuave.

I hadn't heard this one before. Nice.
