Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Fucking idiotic, so, of course, true.
These people can't possibly believe in an afterlife.
I'm fairly convinced they only believe in themselves, as a psychological axiom. Moral good is that which makes them richer, happier, or more powerful.
That's all there is at the base of our entire system of government at the moment.
I'm away from my computer, can someone please put anime speed lines around Ben Affleck smoking for me? Thanks.
This is ridiculous, awful, and ridiculously awful.
Oh look, we're another step closer to Idiocracy, now?
This is nauseatingly disgusting. These people should all be moved to an island where they can fight for the few scarce resources available while the rest of the world goes on living in harmony.
Fuck this scum
Idiocracy would be a vast improvement over our current predicament.
Fucking reprehensible
Oh my fucking, fuck. Despicable, disgusting, fucking inhumane… just an overwhelmingly morally bankrupt synaptic glitch for which the incepting brain should self-destruct by default. Any human who could seriously entertain this concept without physical recoil and abject horror, should be removed from any circumstances now, or in future, where they may have even a modicum of influence over the wellbeing, livelihood, education, security, or happiness of a fellow living being.
It's gonna be cyberpunk without the advanced tech. No merits.
Jesus tapdancing christ this is so gleefully evil and fucked up
How about a reality show where immigrants compete against Trump cabinet members for their jobs?
This circus has no ringmaster, just a bunch of clowns.
The circus has no audience, it is an audience of clowns.
Is it going to be called "Running Man"?
Head writer Richard Bachman.
I already judge reality TV watchers harshly, but holy crap, I will judge the ever loving daylights out of anyone who would watch that and boycott every product that would advertise on it.
how incredibly repulsive.
its like conservatives spend all their time trying to prove how terrible they are as human beings.
Man. yeah. I mean unfortunately I grew up thinking we were advancing not only with science and technology but also as a society. Its cyberpunk best case at this point and idiocracy on the other end.
Lame trolls
