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!

There's a special level of hate reserved for transgender people. This ultimately comes from the Palengenetic Ultra-nationalism that formed the foundation of the Nazi party and is now forming the foundation of the Republican party. Hate is a powerful drug. People say religion is the opiate of the masses. But, realistically, religion is merely the syringe.

Thanks, everyone who voted for this guy. Again.

And all the people who decided they were fine with either option and didn't vote.

And the people who think bittersweet chocolate is the same as literal shit.

The perverted perception of reality
Rug sweepers conceal insanity
Street cleaners bury the bodies

You can't fucking stomach it
Pig-stuffed and drunk on self-entitlement
The conscience is torn into parodies
All hail empty humanity

If only history would repeat.

Right? Everyone's talking about MAGA speedrunning the slide to authoritarianism, I just want them to hit the 30 April 1945 any% record.

I started watching that episode of the Donald show, and I had to turn it off when he went on his tirade of “the democrats” and the longer it kept going, the more wild his rant went. It’s like he ran out of material and just started saying random thoughts that popped into his head. I love that democrats live rent free in his head.

Sounds like any other 'speech' he's made in the last ten years.
