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!

Thank you for your service. You are an American hero.

Why is Turd Cruz stalking teenagers and putting them in ads without their consent?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

There's no consequences. The ruling class is flaunting their status here. Cruz might not be ruling class but he's a dog on a leash and he's pissing and shitting wherever he wants because you can't do shit about it without extreme measures.

Can't the girls and their families sue, or get a restraining order or something?

This is something that is an easily proven lie that is causing harm.

And actual malice isn't even needed for defamation, unlike if it were flipped. This man is a literal danger to these girls.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago

He's a literal danger to the entire fucking world. Piece of shit.

I can’t believe Texas STILL has a fucking Canadian born blob fish representing itself in the US Senate

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Remember when Ted Cruz was always the most dislikable politician in the room? Those were better days. Still shitty. But better.

I thought for sure we were going to get a classic Mitch Hedberg joke from you. Lol. The outline was there.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

To be fair, the fact that he was born in Canada was only relevant when he ran for president.

To be more fair, though, Ted Cruz is an abomination that should not be in any position of public trust given that he can only be trusted to be the absolute WORST at any given moment.

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

He’s an agent saboteur

[–] [email protected] 103 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Cruz should receive whatever penalty exists for inciting violence/harassment against a minor, because that's what he's doing. Not only is he bullying teens from a position of power, he didn't even do so competently given neither cis girl is transgender.

Yup, Stochastic Terrorism

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 weeks ago

Fine and force him under a court order. Stochastic terrorism must be stopped.
