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!

I saw a comment on that bastion of reasonable well thought out dialogue, Yahoo, that asserted if Caitlyn Clark were black, she'd be on the team.
To this I questioned where on the roster Angel Reese resides.
The US team is on a streak of what, seven or eight gold medals? I'll leave it to their organizers as to whom they would like to play.
People think the Olympics is about them. It's not. People even think the Olympics is about countries and its not that either. It's about human athletic endeavor, or how a person can push themselves through training and dedication.
Therefore, the most important opinion should come from the person themselves. What did Caitlyn Clark say? She said she didn't mind at all, and it gave her a goal for the future. In addition, she said in effect, "go team". Why? Because obviously the young woman knows about sportsmanship and has a lot of class.
This is unlike those that try for whatever reason who project themselves into her shoes. Shoes that would never fit them. Hell, I'll say it...they couldn't carry her jock strap. That woman can throw dimes from the logo all day,
People think the Olympics is about athletics. It's not. It's about corporate sponsors and construction contracts.
