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!

Get fucked, D. Earl Stephens. Biden normalized it by appointing this Grand Fuckhead. I never voted for Merrick fucking Garland so you can stop blaming me and other voters for "normalizing" anything when all we're doing is noticing patterns and responding to them accordingly. We've had thirty fucking years of the national Democratic party normalizing getting absolutely reamed by the Republicans and mostly just bending over and taking it, so seriously stuff it. We didn't normalize it, the lawmakers, judges, and executives normalized it, we're just taking notice and aren'tquiet about it.
He's right, we're not a serious country. Prior to this, we had Salt Typhoon where Chinese hackers infiltrated all the communications government backdoors that our communications companies have made for law enforcement. Despite the literal actually happening evidence that backdoors are a bad idea, the FBI still wants backdoors into our chats. He can stop kidding himself about it, we're currently the least serious country on the planet, especially in regards to National Security. Trump selling secrets is honestly the least of our concerns.
Uhm, they always owed us the damn truth Jesus Christ.
Yep, same with all the other surveillance stuff they passed over the years. Now they're being all panicky about Trump having access to this entire surveillance apparatus, and all we can say is: we told you motherfuckers this would happen, and you voted for it anyway.
