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 feel like being a sex predator is a requirement to be in Trump's cabinet.

He worked at FOX, of course he’s touchy.

There's literally ONE news station that leans Right, and that's Fox. Meanwhile, every single other news outlet is Left. Just to give you a perspective on things.

Literally just fiction that someone smarter than your came up with and convinced you of.

At this point, I'm waiting to hear what sexual assault Tulsi Gabbard has committed.

Of course you are lying

SIF received renewed media coverage around 2020 when some columnists found that Tulsi Gabbard, a candidate for the Democratic nomination in the 2020 United States presidential election was associated with the SIF during her childhood, and even mentioned Butler as her spiritual guide in her school years.[1][10] Her father, Mike Gabbard, a Hawaii State Senator, noted for his opposition to same-sex marriage, too was associated with SIF; he viewed spirituality as a weapon against sexually deviant practices.[1][9][13][14] His wife, Carol Gabbard, was the treasurer of the SIF.[9]

Tulsi Gabbard has since clarified that she considered Mr. Butler "essentially like a Vaishnava Hindu pastor" during her school years [15][16] As a teenager, Gabbard moved away from SIF and "fully embraced Hinduism", and "follows the Vaishnava branch that believes in the Supreme Lord".[17][18] Gabbard identifies herself as Vaishnava Hindu[19][20], and often participates in Hindu festivals such as Diwali with Hindu-Americans[21]

It's almost as if he's just going through the motions to fill the rolls with "acting" personnel like he did last time when everyone quit or got fired.

Kind of makes you go, hmmmm, don't it?
