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!

Mainers are really going to elect the face that launched a thousand waterbottles?
/pre-emptive /s because I know half of you have uninstalled your sarcasm detectors
You have the preemptive /s, but no preemptive TLDW? I’m 2 minutes in and still have no idea what the point is.
Oh CNN is already pumping out hand-wringing anti-Jackson pseudo hit pieces.
He threw a waterbottle in a session about prescription drug prices and another senator took that personally..
I am of the horribly misogynistic opinion that we shouldn't throw things at women when they disagree with us in public
Falsely imprisoning a girlfriend in a drunken rage and rape are fine, but you draw the line at a water bottle?
Unfounded allegations based on "memory recovery" (hypnosis) and published without an ounce of journalistic integrity in a bipartisan co-ordinated "flood the zone" wave versus attacking a woman in a crowded room and verbally berating women so much that your entire campaign was staffed by dudes before Chuck Schumer had to fly in women staffers from DC just to help save those optics
Killing civilians in Afghanistan isn’t unfounded though.
I find your dedication to Platner as an individual fascinating.
