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!

But if they just keep posting trending videos they can fire more journalists. Writing more articles means they'd have to hire them and they are expensive.
This is the conversation everyone should have with police when they demand ID.
Am I being detained? Goodbye.
That's the extent of the conversation you should have with cops
Here in CO you can be legally detained for 24 hours for no reason last time I checked. While you have every right to refuse ID when it's within your right, I'm much more likely to just hand it over rather than risk being detained overnight. Which sucks.
That is not true. They still need probable cause to detain you, and if they have that they can actually hold you up to a max of 72 hrs before they must file actual charges. But for a stop they can only detain you in so long to effect the investagory period. That can take however long but for say a traffic stop should be like 20-30 minutes.
A few people in the Atlanta jail died while having no charges filed.
S'true.
Holland is the eleventh inmate to die in the jail in the past year--the first death in 2024.
That may get you shot.
Instead, read and react based on this article https://www.rocketlawyer.com/family-and-personal/general-legal-matters/legal-guide/police-stops-know-your-rights-when-pulled-over-or-questioned#:~:text=After%20you%20speak%20with%20the,is%20a%20crime%20in%20itself.
It's consistent with what I've seen other lawyers say and remember when the police are near it's always Shut The Fuck Up Friday.
You have an inalienable right to stfu. Use it.
Every day is Shut the fuck up Friday
If you're pulled over they can make up a crime, the laws around driving and vehicles are almost endless. Give them your ID. But if you're just on the sidewalk or something, start recording and ask them what crime you're suspected of. "Suspicious" or "I got a call" is not a crime.
Also don't do two crimes at once. For example, you can either jaywalk or have crack in your pocket. But don't do both. Prioritize - it's the key to success.
So you're saying that I should finish plotting to overthrow the government of Myanmar and THEN rob a bank rather than try to do both at the same time?
Nah that's just efficiency.
These schmucks keep repeating "RICO" like it's some dumbass SovCit incantation or something.
It's almost as if they've been coached. Say it ain't so.
Wait wrong Rico...
That's because they're trying to normalize what Trump is being charged with in Georgia
This is always what they do with everything.
Ever wonder why "BoTh SiDeS" arguments are so prevalent? It's because they work tirelessly to take any argument one might have about the right and pin it on someone from the left too.
It's the projection you see constantly. It's their #1 go-to "trick." Level the playing field and now your supporters can stay with you because "the other guy is just as bad and I hate woke anyway so I'm sticking with (insert Hitlerwannabe here)"
Really all they have are "whataboutisms." They did this with Obama when criticizing Trump, they're doing it with Biden, they did it with Hillary.
They never address the problems of their party, it's always about what the other guy is doing, which is usually entirely made up.
Exactly. See:
- "Fake news"
- The Biden crime family
- Democrats stole the election
- Biden had classified documents
- Claims that Democrats want to get rid of democracy
- "No puppet. No puppet. You're the puppet."
At this point if you see "both sides" and don't immediately assume it's a right winger you should probably double check to make sure you're not standing in a flaming pile of shit
Sir, for a dollar can you name a crime?
Name a crime?
Yes name a crime.
Any crime?
Name a crime
Why is this so hard?
Fucking yoga bag, name a crime
I'm sorry!
Name a crime
Name a crime?
NAME A CRIME!
DO THEY SPEAK ENGLISH IN NAME A CRIME?!?
I did not know of that sketch, thanks! I don't know if it's staged or not (I hope it was because he was too aggressive IMO), but I would have replied "your mom".
Billy on the Street was a tv show through Funny or Die that ran for years. He approached random new Yorkers and asked them pop culture questions. Some people think there might have been staged stuff, but supposedly it's all real.
Here's a best of: https://youtu.be/HBOpO7RgS64?si=iYsnc1WUl8TX7Hhr
Is Tony Bobulinski related to Dennis Denuto?
“It’s RICO, it’s corruption, it’s the vibe”
Ah, the serenity
