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!

Unoriginal but highly germane point: the people who think that anthropogenic climate change is ridiculous on its face believe that Democrats have weather control satellites.

Typical fascist rethoric: the enemy is weak but strong. The enemy is so dumb but also deviosly smart and capable.

Climate change is fake but the democrats can control it and use it against red States except when it can't.

Facts no longer mater for these people, what they ”feel” is truth. Experts are liars. Rumor is fact. Theory is reality but only if convenient.

The enemy is all powerful, but they're not better than you.

people who think that anthropogenic climate change is ridiculous

It isn't simply "ridiculous". It is a conspiracy constructed to harm economic prosperity in the United States. A vast Chinese psy-op designed to trick our country out of its energy independence. A plot by (((the liberal media))) to emasculate American men and perpetuate a white genocide, which will expose our nation to a final takeover by Hispanic Muslim Socialists invading our southern border.

The Hoax of Anthropogenic Climate Change is a military operation that has already claimed large parts of the east and west coasts, thanks to the weak wills and feminine natures of soy eating cucked Marxists who have rejected the Divine Will of the Creator.

Hurricane Milton is further evidence of the vast left-wing subterfuge that seeks to break the will of the American people. And there is only one man strong enough to lead our nation by speaking the Holy Words of Truth and champion a Glorious Return to Tradition.

Shouldn't it be hitting Texas then?

We got Beryl'd back in July. We also got a nasty derecho the week before Beryl hit. Don't worry, God's Angriest Farts haven't neglected us.

"It is impossible to warm the planet by several degrees over multiple decades but it is totally possible to create a large category 5 hurricane within just days." Republicans are all willfully delusional clowns.
