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!

No, it's the same thing. Accusing people of things you know they didn't do is the sign of an asshole. We should be better than that.
We should be better than that? We keep doing that. We keep taking it on the chin and taking the high road. The high road got us Dementia Don. I'm fine with throwing some of their shit right back at them. Does it make me an asshole? Honestly, I don't care. I'm over the republikkklowns, and I'm ready for our country to progress again. Fuck that couch fucker and the elephant he rode in on. Fuck the Russians that are out spewing bullshit propaganda along with the assets they have that have managed to get elected. While I'm at it, FUCK anyone voting for them. You're a piece of shit if you do, there is no argument, no defense.
Here's the thing, though: I don't know he didn't, at some point in his life, stroke himself off using a particularly soft and giving piece of furniture. Teenage boys are weird and horny. Until he addresses the issue himself, we can't say he isn't a couch fucker.
Why should we be better than that? How does that win elections?
Yeah cos "When they go low, we go high!" worked so well in 2016!
We try to win against bad people and still be better than them when we're done.
MFW trying to keep our values is somehow bad.
