  1. ๐‘ด๐’†๐’Ž๐’†๐’” must make an effort at humor

Webster's Dictionary defines "meme" an image or video that's been creatively edited for laffs. Unedited screencaps of text tweets, Onion articles, or political cartoons are not memes. Exceptions made for occasional [CONTEXT] posts: unedited newsworthy media that can act as fodder for new memes.

  1. Memes must ๐’Ž๐’‚๐’Œ๐’† ๐’‚๐’ ๐’†๐’‡๐’‡๐’๐’“๐’• at humor

Memes should be decent-looking, clever, and show some creativity (including the title). No sloppy editing. No watermarks. No reposts.

  1. Memes must make an effort at ๐’‰๐’–๐’Ž๐’๐’“

Memes should be funny first and foremost. Not angry, preachy, or insulting. No unironic #hashtags. If your meme is mainly promoting or advocating or WAKING PEOPLE UP, ur doing it rong. NSFW content is fine, but no uncensored porn/violence.

  1. No personal attacks

It's politics -- folks are gonna argue! Just do it respectfully. Hostility and vulgar insults are subject to removal with a warning, while repeat offenders may be banned. Memes should not target individual users. No racism/misogyny/*phobia/other bigotry. For harassing PMs, block the user or report serious threats.

  1. No brigading or disinformation

Do not link to specific posts or users directing others to vote. Do not link to stuff here from elsewhere doing so, either. If you suspect brigading, report evidence to the mods. Unsubstantiated claims cannot be acted on. Activity on other communities is not brigading. Disagreeing with you is not brigading. Accusations in the comments are subject to removal. Blatantly misleading posts will be tagged and debunking info stickied if provided.

  1. Submissions must relate to a presidential election

This can be any election from throughout U.S. history. It cannot be a gubernatorial, senatorial, or other election unless that election involved a future president and is presented in context of their presidency or their election. The 2024 election is ramping up, but we encourage users to branch out.

NPR: Trump campaign staff had altercation with official at Arlington National Cemetery

Two members of Donald Trump's campaign staff had a verbal and physical altercation Monday with an official at Arlington National Cemetery, where the former president participated in a wreath-laying ceremony, NPR has learned.

A source with knowledge of the incident said the cemetery official tried to prevent Trump staffers from filming and photographing in a section where recent U.S. casualties are buried. The source said Arlington officials had made clear that only cemetery staff members would be authorized to take photographs or film in the area, known as Section 60.

When the cemetery official tried to prevent Trump campaign staff from entering Section 60, campaign staff verbally abused and pushed the official aside, according to the source.

Notably, the campaign says what Arlington is claiming are lies and they have the footage to prove it.

They also declined to provide the footage.
