Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Can't wait till they have to codify what christians believe in.

Bold of you to assume they'll let anything like rules tie them down.

When did he last go to church?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

The time he held his favourite book upside down

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

During the BLM/George Floyd protests. There are photos.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

When's the last time he went in a church though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Wasn't he in a church when that bishop lady told him to quit being a dick?

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

"Good news, Trump doesn't want Congress to have any power anyway!"

Remember how the radical right, most especially of the more Randroid type was saying that talking about Gilead states was hyperbole and hysterical, etc...?

Then they reversed 50 years of Roe. And now this insane piece of shit is back in the office, throwing red meat to the crazies that think this is a xtian nation (or that it should be one).

Hello future handmaids, how are we all doing today?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Under his eye.

Inb4 they claim science has anti Christian biases

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 weeks ago

They've been saying that all along, haven't they? These are the same people that think "teach the controversy" is a good slogan to repeat over...checks notes....evolution?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And this is when things get truely crazy. You ain't seen nothing yet.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

the true fuckery hasn't even begun in earnest yet

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I firmly believe that the fundies are trying to fulfil the prophecy of the book of revelation. Trump is playing the part of the antichrist, musk is the beast and I'm not sure who is playing satan yet but xi and Putin are both strong contenders. My concern is how the heritage Foundation interprets "lake of fire".

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I just think Trump is doing all of this shit because he can, there's nobody this time around that can stop him, we rightly tried locking him up in Federal prison for the rest of his life, and he really really didn't like being mocked by Obama during the Correspondents dinner. He's going to burn it all down, and so many people are about to die, here, and all around the world.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Agreed, except that Federalist Merrick Garland only tried hard enough to put on a show. He's in on this, too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

he was in on this, couldn't matter less now that trump has the keys

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

trump is an Antichrist, please target him

Dear US, wishing you a quiet revolution down the road to clean up this mess
Sincerely, a Quebecer

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Thank you. I'm wishing the same for myself and my fellow not-pants-on-head-crazy people in this madhouse.

Yours,

  • Your downstairs, and trapped in a failed meth-lab of a country, neighbor

Dear Quebecer,

Got any room?

Sincerely, a New Englander

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

I hope so, although I'm not making the immigration rules :(

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, New-New-Frangland will be quite the powerhouse!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Will we have to learn French?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

A non insignificant portion of high schoolers in New England already take French as second language, they'll just finally have an excuse to use and practice it ;)
