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 love when people get mad that Tom Morello is suddenly political and say they like rage against the machine better before it was political.

Motherfucker, have you listened to a single lyric?

Same with people complaining that Star Wars or Star Trek is too woke or too liberal. When was it ever not?

People turn fascist only to discover that that's exactly what all their favourite art always opposed.

Fuck you I won't do what you tell me
Fuck you I won't do what you tell me
Fuck you I won't do what you tell me
Fuck you I won't do what you tell me

Except they misheard the lyrics they thought it was "yes sir I will do what you tell me"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 19 hours ago

"Yes sir, let me lick your boot for free"

I'll say it again. Just look at Mary Morello to see this is not a surprise. His mother raised him right.

If you like game of thrones, lookup Tom Morello, fender, GoT on YouTube and blow your mind

How long until Republican groups convince you all that Tom and Bruce are fascist or something. No true leftist. I'm giving it 30 days

This seems like an incoherent premise. Neither artist ever supported Trump, and Morello has been outspoken against Trump for like a decade. How do you figure they will whine about them any more effectively now?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 day ago

Fuck you trump! Pussy ass dumb bitch! Get fucked!

Based Morello knows a thing or two about fascist evil empires.

From Wikipedia:

Morello's father participated in the Mau Mau Uprising (1952–1960) and was Kenya's first ambassador to the United Nations.[12] Morello's paternal great-uncle, Jomo Kenyatta, was the first elected president of Kenya.[12] His aunt, Jemimah Gecaga, was the first woman to serve in the legislature of Kenya; and his uncle Njoroge Mungai was a Kenyan Cabinet Minister, Member of Parliament, and was considered one of the founding fathers of modern Kenya.

Joins Bruce? I would have assumed Tom was always totally opposed to Trump lol?

The Nightwatchman is against anyone that's not A Union Man.
