politics
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!

More than an investigation, there's now a criminal indictment that alleges that SPLC, Inc. defrauded their donors when they paid undercover informants to infiltrate racist and extremist groups. The theory of the case is that SPLC was actually assisting and aiding these racist groups, contrary to SPLC's public positions, by doing things like paying membership dues on behalf of their undercover informants.
There are also money laundering charges on the basis that SPLC deliberately misstated the purpose of funds when they were transferring money over to the undercover infiltration side of the operation. Because, maybe, you know, they were trying to be under cover about it.
The legal scholars at Heritage Foundation give me the creeps more than their ICE stormtroopers. They exploit the very concepts they despise, in order to criminalize supporters of human rights. For example, transgender inclusion in high school sports? Title IX violation. Affirmative action? Selective bias against white men. Undercover informants in the Proud Boys? Supporting hate-groups. When they themselves do not consider them to be hate groups. This really grinds my gears with these fascists.
Speaking of undercover informants
Anyhow, this is gonna play out in court. Given that not all federal judges have capitulated to the White Supremacist's House it can go both ways. It is actually a good reminder to donate to them (I have been procrastinating...)
Really? You know what? Fuck this corrupt administration.
Cons: Bitch about supposed cases of lawfare, incessantly.
Also cons: conduct massive amounts of lawfare.
Well, we are officially in a fascist state. Time to act accordingly.
They gotta stop voter drives
Disgusting. This administration will inflict misery on working people, immigrants, the poor, minorities, etc. ANYONE but the rich and powerful. I hope a million more Luigis happen...
