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!

I'm glad we can always rely on the MAGA sycophants to say the most deranged and antichrist things.

What an obnoxious piece of shit.

I thought it was an onion type article from the headline. I was all "You're not going to get me this time"

Then the comments made me realise it wasn't satirical. Christ.

My TED talk on the non-existence of god is simply me blowing a raspberry and pointing at a photo of this woman/cyst.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

It took me too long to realize you didn’t mean blowing air out of your mouth onto a raspberry.

He was still conservative AF, but the MAGAs think he’s “evil” because he was advocating for helping those who have less than you, helping refugees, and treating people with compassion, even if the look or love differently that you.

Being a selfish asshole is MTGs entire brand.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

The thing is that religion, like conservatism want to just "be a little assholes", but being an asshole attracts bigger assholes and pretty soon your movement is all massive assholes. So you, little asshole, feel betrayed, because you just wanted to hurt some people, but now your being pushed out because the assholes in your group want to hurt everyone.

When you make deals with the devil, sooner or later the bill comes due.

Are you saying that what we need to be is a bunch of massive dicks? Then we can fuck all the massive assholes. Sure we might get a bit shitty while we do, but it might be the price we need to pay. It's the little assholes that I'd feel sorry for in that situation.

Extremely old and sick person eventually dies

Yeah, that wad all MY God's work!

These people are so sadly simplistic

[–] [email protected] 8 points 14 hours ago

My god is Chronos (God of Time), so literally everything is their work.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 16 hours ago

If evil was being punished by God, why the fuck is this screeching demon still alive?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 16 hours ago

She still speaking so we all know that’s not true.

MTG is proof that a horse can get sunburn.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 16 hours ago

With one eye staring directly into it at all times.

Interestingly, she's a former Catholic

Catholics do not believe in the Rapture. That is a Protestant, particularly American Protestant invention.

Hellfire's bitch.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 18 hours ago

The distance between her eyes keeps getting smaller. Or maybe its a camera effect.
