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!

Friendly reminder that WWE once ran a wrestling match, trump vs rosie o donnell. They were impersonators, but still. They actually promoted that match on their flagship show.
They also ran a long storyline leading to their version of the superbowl (wrestlemania), where trump picks a guy, and the owner of the wwe (at the time) picks a guy, and whoevers guy loses, they shave the head of the one who bet on him. It's a predetermined show, so the owner of the wwe got his head shaved. Whats funny is, the guy they picked for trump was a big black guy. The big black guy wins, the owner of the wwe gets his head shaved, and then shows up a few days later on a secondary show wearing a durag, passes Booker T (a different black guy) in the hallway, and proceeds to say "What's up, my --------???"
The word I'm censoring is a derogitory term, that's very racist, and it was just said by the white owner of the wwe to his black employee. On TV. On purpose. As written in the script. The same script that the owner of the wwe wrote himself. Nobody forced him to do this. This was his own idea, and done because he thought it was good tv.
Anyways, Vince McMahon is now being taken to court by the government AGAIN (happened in 1993 for completely different reasons). This time it's because he's had a 20+ year history of human trafficing women, who were his employees.
......I really don't even remember what the point is anymore, other than you reminding me what a piece of shit Vince McMahon is. He's always been a piece of shit, and the wwe will always be tainted for me now.
I always assumed the whole "Vince McMahon owns the WWE" was a bit because I only ever knew him as the ring announcer.
I was like "Wait... THAT Vince McMahon?"
Turned out, the ring announcer thing was the bit.
Watamanuever!!! THIS IS.......THE XFL!!!!!
