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!

“Lie to us constantly” like the Democrats claiming with a straight face that Biden was mentally well up until the debate when everybody could see he was senile.🤣
People who trust democrats are also fools. But it’s telling that you can’t deny what I wrote. You know on some level that it’s a lie but it’s a lie you want to believe. “Those people deserve to be tortured! Who cares if the exact details are true!”
This mentality is disgusting.
Mate you don’t have the slightest fucking clue what you’re talking about. Many of these people aren’t even “illegals”.
You seriously need to educate yourself and others around you or soon it will be us they’re coming for. Trump has openly said he hopes to do this to US citizens too. This is no longer an immigration issue, it’s a human rights issue.
He's only here to piss you off.
He needs the attention you're giving him, because he never learned how to get it in a healthy way.
The argument is what he wants because it makes it look like there are two sides to the issue. There aren't two sides. Stop giving him what he wants. He doesn't care about facts or reality; he'll say whatever gets a rise out of you because he's a broken, seething husk of resentment who wants everyone to be as miserable as he is.
He loves wasting your time, because trolls are pathetic losers who have nothing better to do.
They’re here spouting hateful lies whether I respond or not. Better for it to seem there are two sides than one.
I understand the argument against platforming but an open forum is a different issue. I feel there is value in making them feel unwelcome to spread their lies and pointing out to onlookers that they’re full of shit.
Agreed. You can't let them pull you into the mud, but you have to remember there are always far more people just reading instead of responding.
