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!

It’s kind of an obvious joke about the border and immigration. The storm made landfall in Mexico and is now moving into the US. Conservatives think Biden just lets everyone in Mexico come over the border, so that’s the joke. Meanwhile liberals are laughing because they take it literally and think conservatives believe a storm can be detained. Come on folks. You need to be able to get a joke that was crafted for someone else or you are really stuck in your perspective.
It's a joke but it's a really low quality one.
All the pieces to the joke are there but Fox proved yet again that conservatives suck at comedy.
Yeah the work of joke writing is taking those pieces and assembling them together in a way that makes it funny.
But you know what they say: lazy, entitled conservatives just don't want to do the work.
Agreed. It’s what’s called a cheap shot.
It's hard to tell since the last time the republican party was in charge the leader of the party seriously thought you could just nuke a hurricane so I would not be surprised if the viewers of fox actually do blame Biden and think you can detain a hurricane
Bruh this is the party of "Jewish space lasers"
It's hard to hear anything they say as coming from the mouth of anything other than a 4 year old
You realize Fox News has said crazier shit that weren't jokes? Remember when FN called Jamie Lee Curtis for being a hypocrite when it comes to gun control and she wielded a gun in a movie?
Honestly, it's hard to tell when they're "joking". I think it's far more likely they just throw shit against the wall and see what sticks. Sure, many publications do that, but no outlet does it more disingenuously than FN. I'm not willing to give that network the benefit of a doubt.
Either they’re serious, and that’s bad, or they made a joke that wasn’t funny, which is also bad. I’ll roll my eyes either way.
So appropriate to joke about natural disasters.
If so, it's a really bad joke. Faux news has said equally crazy things.
