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!

It's honestly so bad that it's actually getting it more views and it's being covered everywhere including the Daily Show. Part of me wonders if that's the intent but then I realize much of the GOP is completely incompetent.

Also, since the BoRDeR CriSiS is going to literally be the GOP's only attack this election cycle, let' remind them of a couple things:

  • Republicans blocked the border plan THEY originally wanted and which the Border Patrol themselves endorsed. <--- Republicans chose politics over policy.

  • iLlEGal ImMiGraNts actually commit less violent crime as a whole than American citizens themselves...

  • Right-Wing domestic extremists are far more violent.

  • Such undocumented immigrants yield a net-positive to our economy as a whole.

Holy shit, did she just echo “manifest destiny”?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yup, we had to stop it just a few minutes in when it appeared she was turning herself on over the rape story she mostly made up.

Yup. She made up everything about it except that it happened. Then she went into the weirdest description of it, while appearing to lose her breath over it.

The contrast of one of the greatest SOTU speeches in history to an utterly creepy call to gather a nut-fringe group to take over the Republican tent is a two piece diorama of what we are today. We are the UNITED States. I hope everyone spends some time thinking of what that means.

Any time a country has an adjective in its name that adjective is always wrong.

Wow, just watching that now. She needs to go back to her streaming channel and 500 viewers

It should be clear to everyone, now that we are not united and never have been and holding this country together is a bigger challenge than anyone these days realizes.

I mean it's sad but predictable when your sanest member still sounds like a lunatic because that's what the Republican party wants in their leaders.

However I do understand what she was going for in the whole kitchen aesthetic, you know trying to connect with the old boomers that have kitchens talking about their "Kitchen Table" issues.

If only there was a bipartisan border bill which consists of nothing but concessions from democrats. Katie's one of the people who killed the bill.

Please. I beg you people, do not drink psycho moms sweet tea. There's something in that shit.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago

Katie is one of the people who helped WRITE the bill AND who helped kill the bill.

Pedro: What's Labrador?

Man Stoner: It's dog sh*t.

Pedro: What?
