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!

Well when the vast majority of Conservative White men are closeted homosexuals, this does make more sense.
This should be illegal.
Along with the correspondants dinner itself.
Pardon?
Corporate sponsored social events for lawmakers, lobbyists, and reporters to get all friendly with each other should be illegal.
The mere possibility of the appearance of corruption should be illegal.
But the President is selling Teslers and Big Macs at the White House.
Actually totally good point. I’m going to chuckle at the situation regardless because it’s funny. But I agree with you overall.
While I agree that corporate lobbyists are a negative overall, the oil, meat, tobacco, alcohol, and gambling world (just to name a few) have been destroying our world by lobbying politicians for decades. This is an issue that is not going away.
If a company wants to lobby for lgbt rights, HIV research, and access to IVF, they are my least hated lobbying group at the moment.
That…is not a headline I expected to see.
Well at least the kids will be ok for a day I guess
...as we toast the first amendment
Oh. Are we doing subversion at this gayla?
