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!

Who cares what female Bubbles has to say about anything? She's just another fake Christian Trump teat nibbler whose motives should always be questioned.

I have violent fantasies about strangling Musk, Trump, Ghislaine, the Clintons, Barack Obama, and everyone from the Bush administration. Also Cathy Wood. .I want to feel their wind pipes crush in my grip.

No, I am not OK.

Better talk to someone about that. I mean I understand the desire for sure but sounds like they might be a little much.

There are healthy ways to channel that energy, hope you find them.

I create art. It keeps me balanced.

But... Healthiest channel for me would be choking out these ghouls while maintaining eye contact.

I've never been in a fight in my life. I've never raised my hand toward my wife or any other woman. I've never owned a weapon. But I envy whoever shot that CEO last winter. I watch ICE arrests on Insta and imagine myself killing all the "officers"

If I got drafted, I would immediately shoot my C. O. in the back as soon as I was deployed

This is the shit I think about now. I want to go back to Simpsons memes

Yeah I hear you. Don't let the world turn you into an angry husk though. I've been there so I get it.

Maybe a social media break would do you some good. I've done a few and it really helps. When I come back I'm less angry and frustrated, and able to just take pity on people more than being angry with them.

Keep making arr. Lots of it. The good stuff comes out when you're in spaces like this, you just need to be sure not to be consumed by it.

Edit: Art. Keep making art. I like the typo though so I'm leaving it
