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!

You know who carries large amounts of cash?

People who get paid in cash.

I had the same thought.

Why does her face make me uncomfortable

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

It's called the uncanny valley. Some believe it's an instinctual response to keep you away from corpses. Others say it's more broadly an artifact from a time when humanity needed to be wary of things that looked human but weren't...

Because she killed her dog in a gravel pit, and put that story in her book.

More evidence that we are shifting from a Trickle Down Economy to a Robin Hood Economy (take from the rich, give to the poor).

This article is shit. Where was she when the bag was stolen? Was it not tied to her?

[–] [email protected] 44 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The head of Homeland SECURITY doesn't have good enough security to keep her bag from being stolen?

Probably stolen by a member of her own security detail.

Fucking hilarious.

"Hey guys, can we turn off all the cameras so nobody sees the drug deal I'm trying to do?"

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I once knew a rich guy who carried two envelopes in his suit pockets. One carried small bills for tips and such, and the other carried large bills because "you never know when you are going run across a good gun deal."

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

I'm pretty sure if I want a good gun deal I'm leaving DC and going to Virginia

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Oh no! That's terrible. Anyway....
