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!

Good, and we should wipe out the Schumers Pelosis and Jeffries too. Maybe get rid of these goofy ass mega corps

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 week ago (36 children)

Republicans should be wiped out. Fools, monsters, and traitors. They've done incalculable damage to the world and all those who live here.

Every Republican that dies should be cause for celebration.

"During this two-to-five-year period, asserted Bezmenov, what matters is the targeting of essential structural elements of a nation: economy, foreign relations, and defense systems. Basically, the subverter (Russia) would look to destabilize every one of those areas in the United States, considerably weakening it."

We are here: attacking Canada, Greenland, Mexico (damaging our economy & theirs, and clearly our foreign relations) Trump also offered to cut defense spending if Russia does. It's all very obvious if you're not in the cult.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Ron Paul, oh I liked him when I was into hating the DEA the FED and etc.

remember when "audting the fed" was controversial. Elon Musk thought that meant deranged bullshit please, unto me

Way back when Alex Jones was cool

/s or whatever

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Alex Jones was pretty critical of the PATRIOT Act, Bush, and the war in Iraq. It’s ironic how much of an autocratic war hawk he is now.

I was wondering when he would pop his Rational Self-Interest head up. He's been uncharacteristically silent for a while, not performing his usual contrarian stunts for attention. He was smart enough to keep his head down for this insanity.

But when something threatens his money, he'll be there.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 week ago

Of course that’s all he cares about. Fuck him, I hope he loses everything he holds dear.

In a perfect world you will never again be in power. Ever.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

"In power"? In a perfect world he'd never again be on this side of a prison cell!!

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

Don't worry, democrats will make sure that doesn't happen.

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

Don't trust anyone whose name is Rand, first or last.

Or Paul for that matter, but that's an entirely different issue. Paul knows what he did.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Someone didn't read The Wheel of Time

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I did, and I feel the need to remind you Rand Al'Thor had espisodes of insanity and a disembodied homicidal voice in his head. Sure he saved the world, but I wouldn't want to be there during one of his fits trusting him not to accidently explode me.

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

Fair, but that voice wasn't something wrong with him, it was an external actor. Rand himself was a stand-up guy

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Don't worry Rand Paul, your masters control the news and social media so it won't happen. They'll just keep a majority of people in an illusionary dream world.
