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!

He would cheer them on and say it was a blow against the "trans agenda" or something, i'm sure.
The trans agenda:
There is no brunch under the heavy yoke of end stage hypercapitalism.
We want ~~bread~~ brunch but also roses
You’re exhausting
They're right, tho.
You're easily exhausted.
What a childish thing to say.
Pro tip: Try defending your position instead.
You announce that people you disagree with are exhausting. You've said it to me in the past. You put no effort into defending your own positions, but demand it from others and then summarily dismiss them as exhausting.
Like I said, you're easily exhausted.
Oh, don't I know it. I have to live with myself. And don't take my comment as disagreement with you. I was just extending your joke. Brunch is a good goal. I can just never have it because work always gets in the way.
"Heidi and I send our empty thoughts and useless prayers to the families of the senseless violence which I caused but will not accept responsibility for. I will continue to demonize the LGBTQ community because it scores me cheap political points with the bigoted party which I represent. I am utterly without a shred of dignity or honor but I'll still get votes because what are you gonna do, vote for a milquetoast centrist Democrat?
"Absolutely insincerely, Ted 'Don't you dare not refer to me by my preferred name' and Heidi 'My husband won't stop kissing Trump's ass since he called me ugly' Cruz."
