politics
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!

What's with the devil horn finger gesture two women are making in the picture?
Pretty sure it's the University of Texas' ~~A&M university's~~ "hook 'em" sign.
ut = hook 'em, a&m = gig 'em
You're right, my bad. I corrected my comment.
Bunch of fucking narcissistics, disgracing the memory of the one member of their family who was actually worth a shit, just to get attention for their worthless asses.
Is Trump actually giving a thumbs up then, or is he doing A&M's "Gig 'em"?
Not seeing that. Share.
Far left woman.
She's just pointing. The "pinky finger" of the horns is actually from the last in blue past her. If you zoom in all the way you can see the skin tone matches.
Wouldn't the thumb be out for that?

Yes. And also the palm would be turned out, not pointed to the signer.
That's most definitely an asshole doing a "rock on" gesture with Trump in a cemetery.
Yeah, it's an "old" hand gesture, I'm 36 and it was out of fashion for my generation but it was still out there. Don't think it is divisive other than doing it at a veterans cemetery.
Nah, you just didn't hang in the proper circles. The 'rock on' symbol may be out of fashion, but 'devil horns' (same gesture) have always been cool.
I'm the same age as you, and I've been to so many shows over the last 2 decades where people were throwing horns and acts were calling on the crowd to throw them too.
Still super inapropes for a cemetery tho.
The widow of one of the soldiers was doing it as well in another photo.
Yes, and palm facing the person. It's a combination of the signed letters I, L, Y.
Oh, the explanation in literally in the link. -.-
How about this one?
