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!

It is stupid to me. because I did read the article. Im the one who went and got it from the internet and shared it here.
I was verifying it was a real thing that happened because the Internet is full of bs and that is too fitting for the current trends of Dems calling maga weird to just believe on faith.
How is that not obvious to you through context? Are you new to Internet forums?
I'm imagining in your head where it's the biggest coincidence in the world that my comment where I was laughing and saying wow I didn't know that includes an article with a reputable source saying it did happen and for some reason I DIDNT READ IT. And then you are acting fuckin aggro about me not reading my own link?
I have so many questions about what life is like for you day to day. You should be studied.
Hey. Sorry to have pissed you off so bad. Not my intention.
Here’s where I am coming from. OP posted an article. It contains a direct quote from George W Bush stating that Trump’s inauguration speech was weird shit. You went and found another article stating the exact same thing as OPs and said you had no idea that Bush had said that. I was trying to indicate that the direct quote was clearly stated in the original article. You finding another source is redundant is all I was trying to say. It’s a direct quote from a tweet of a former President. We don’t need it to be fact checked. He said it. It’s real.
Have a good one, friend.
So the best version of your thesis is telling a bunch of people on a boat that aren't wearing swimwear or planning on swimming that the water is good for swimming.
To be clear, you were being a snotty shit head and didn't have to say anything at all. But then you did anyway, and it was pointless. So pointless that you didn't even say it clearly enough to be understood.
Like my comment to the bush quote guy with a source is for all the people who clicked on the comments without wanting to read the rolling stone article. Your comment is for no one.
Yep. For all the people who came here to comment without wanting to read an article, you sure did them a solid by posting another article for them to read. Sorry to be a snotty shithead and to upset you so much. Have a good one, friend.
