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!

Oh the ladies on "The View" already love her. She'll have no problems with them.
The View and the Real Housewives franchise are guilty TV pleasures I normally hate admitting to in public.
Howard is a Democrat but keeps insisting he's a republican lmao. He's going to ask about the whole "Isreal going biblical on everyone around them" era we are currently in, and hes a great interviewer. I'd dare say the best one alive today.
Colbert was way funnier when he was still a Republican.
I can't tell whether I'm being whooshed by you or you were whooshed by his republican character he was playing in his Colbert Report years.
Look at their comment history, they're likely trying to be funny but alas satire is hard on the internet when people can genuinely have such takes
Ah I should have known it was smcf
SatansMaggotyCumFart is our resident S-tier shitposter who IMO aligns chaotic good. They 100% know Colbert’s actual political leanings and are just committing to the bit right now for a laugh.
The democrats offered him a late night show if he switched parties and he hasn’t been as funny since.
Now I can't tell whether you're doubling down on your whooshing of me or you just got whooshed really fucking hard by his obvious character that he was playing.
Do you think a Democrat wrote this?
Lmao. Yes. And I own the book. You should read it at some point. And understand that it's satire.
I know some people in real life that thought Colbert's "Republican" character was genuine and not satire. It's sad
I own it too.
Man, I keep seeing you post... I just wish you at least try to be a better person.
He’s just fucking with you.
Thanks for noticing.
It's funny how The Colbert Report had a substantial amount of conservative viewers who never caught on to the satire.
They studied this effect 15 years ago, pretty interesting short read: Conservatives Think Colbert is Serious
This guy’s just fucking around. He knows Colbert’s schtick.
Ate the onion?
I do enjoy onions!
This went over people’s heads.
