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!

Jesus Christ USA, are you alright?

menstrual surveillance departments

But why? This is information that can most certainly be gleaned from just about any data broker. Phone users cannot imagine just how much about their life is being meticulously catalogued and aggregated for ad tech networks.

The Trump team literally just needs to purchase the relevant aggregate data.

If you think I'm just being hyperbolic, btw there is software that can read your heart rate by the changes in red tonalities of your skin on camera, for example.

Aren't these weirdos just ASKING to be sent tons of used hygiene products for their perusal? I'm sure if enough ladies volunteered, that would soon quench their thirst for knowledge about your bodily functions.

Or...they would totally get off on this. Yeah, it's probably a fetish.

I hope people set up groups, if they actually make those departments, whose sole purpose is to cause as much damage to their servers as possible.

Snopes is going to have to update their article about this.

Republicans are all about the nanny state. Tracking periods, banning books, deciding who gets to have what medications/medical treatments (instead of doctors), trying to control what websites publish, etc.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Except nannies are supposed to care for children, not persecute them.

Government small enough to fit in your uterus.

This chinless taint stain looks like a canned ham got dropped on the floor of a merkin factory.

I cannot wait for Walz vs. Vance. Vance seems like what these people are, distilled. It'll be poetic to watch him get torn apart by a teacher

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago

There's a great reason they are keeping him from doing real public events, and have instead opted to do these tightly controlled bits. He can't even do those and come off as relatable anyway, so the debate is going to be pretty wild.

the old "states' rights to impose their own laws in other states." because that worked out so well for them in the 1800s

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 month ago

This needs to be a political ad in every swing state

So long as they can also set up a semen surveillance department to prosecute men for leaving their jizz between couch cushions and fleshlights.

Next they will be tracking every time a girl takes a shit or walks outside. These people are sickening.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 month ago (4 children)

It's a hop, skip, and a jump away from making them cover up head to toe in public and banning them from driving or being seen outside without a man.

The extremist terrorists were with us in the house the entire time.

Well our yeehawdist gravy seals share another thing with other religious extremists.

Flags, trucks, needing to control women because they cannot otherwise get laid...

What a fucking psycho. Dude looks like he has a freezer full of chopped-up body parts at his house.

Stored as thin sample slices in binders, as tradition dictates

Binders full of women, you say?
