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!

Kevin Sorbo, Dean Cain, Chris Pratt, Dennis Quaid, James Woods, Woody Allen, Gina Carano, Dickey Barrett, the MyPillow Guy, Shamwow Guy, Gwen Stafani, and a half dozen country music artists who all look and sound vaguely the same are hoping theirs are in the mail.
For a minute I got Woody Allen and Woody Harrelson mixed up and was pretty disappointed.
I knew of everyone on here except I don't recognize Dickey, and wasn't aware of issues with Shamwow Vince (his history makes it not surprising), and didn't know Gwen is also B-a-n-a-n-a-s.
Dickey is the former singer for 90s ska band Mighty Mighty Bosstones and was Jimmy Kimmel’s band leader until he went full MAGA over Covid. His band kicked him out and the punk scene disowned him so he went and formed a new group with all the other aging “punks” who have decided Trumpism is the “real rebellion” and have been 86’d from their bands. It’s the saddest, sorriest bunch of middle aged losers that might have figured out the music and the fashion but never actually got the message.
Holy fuck. I loved Dickey and the MMB through high school and my 20s. I haven’t listened in forever, but damn…
It’s been disappointing to watch a lot of the bands I enjoyed in my youth age into boomer-minded “better back in my day”, “I speak my mind so fuck your feelings”, contrarians who are so stuck in trying to maintain their status they’ll hitch their wagon to MAGA then try to explain how they’re still trying to fight the system. It’s not just bands either. I have ditched a lot of my friends from that era who went from anarchist to libertarian once they bought houses, started families, and found careers. They’re the epitome of “I got mine so fuck you”, they’re not pro-Trump the person but like his policies so they’ll compromise their integrity to support him knowing full well what a POS he is while deluding themselves that they can have their cake and eat it too.
Noooooooooooo!
