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!

Just put this gif on repeat until Trump dies.
I can't wait! But that won't end it. The whole party wants this.
"We know that there were three cases of adultery for Pete Hegseth"
Same MFer talking about teaching kids "Christian values" in school
Being a sex offender is an essential qualification to get anywhere in Trumpland.
Of course he did, he's Republican, it's kinda like their secret handshake
Not all of them. Some of them... how did Epstein put it... like them young.
Trump: "It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side."
Waitwaitwait. A Trump nominee did this?
Noooo
That's actually a minimum requirement in this coming administration.
Pretty sure that's a prerequisite
Republicans: Have you seen our Chosen One? Rape is a good thing
Isn't that a positive trait in Trumps world?
Pedocon theory sure does explain a lot about this administration.
What is the pedocon theory?
The simplistic breakdown is something like, "The reason conservative policies disproportionately benefit pedophiles isn't coincidental, and the obsession in their rhetoric about going after them is projection." Policies and behavior such as abstinence over sex ed being for less awareness of boundaries and consent, banning contraceptives and abortion so more children are born into unstable homes and are vulnerable, lowering both age of consent and child bride restrictions, celebrating accused pedophiles in their own party, excusing behavior as "locker room talk", restricting sex worker to remove equal protection under the law so sex trafficked people are less inclined to talk, and threatening or austricizing their colleagues if they speak a word in public about their perverted side.... to name a few.
Anyone surprised by that? Trump summons his favourite criminals to form a cabinet.
It's a requirement
