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!

Man, Trump chose someone from Ohio to be his running mate. I mean come on, the one thing Michiganders can agree on is that we hate Ohio - red or blue. Why would you want to elevate someone from Ohio as VP?
Lmao! Moved to Ohio for a bit. Met someone from Michigan, who then totally hated on me for being a Buckeye, was totally baffled at the time. Glad to see it's still going. I've always assumed, sports?
Ohio State and University of Michigan are football rivals. It was always awkward because my grandpa was a most of life Ohioan who went to UofM for grad school and hoo boy did people not like when he displayed his Alma mater gear. I think they once caught a drunk person pissing on his car…
But it’s also kinda just that we’re neighbors with a lot in common. Oh and we once had a war. But mostly it’s that we’re neighbors and it never really feels like punching down (Indiana and Kentucky) or above our weight (Pennsylvania)
Cold war from when Ohio invaded Michigan’s land and got the president to back their claim over it. Federal government ended up letting Ohio keep it and giving Michigan the upper peninsula in exchange.
"The Toledo War" for anyone wanting to look this up
Ohio is the sweaty ass crack of America.
I love geography and boy oh boy was I excited to visually confirm that Ohio is indeed The Sweaty Ass Crack of America®!
I got carried away drawing the rest of the ~~human~~ ~~creature~~ American specimen. Thoughts on better knuckle placement?
This implies that certain parts of Canada ride on America's asscheeks, which seems accurate enough really.
Also both of America's feet are always being attacked by hurricanes so that's something
Windsor, Canada is definitely one of Americas sweaty ass cheeks
