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!

The Washington Post: "Democracy Dies in Darkness"
Bozos:
I had to settle for the Jurassic Park GIF because I couldn't find the one of Homer Simpson using his gun to turn off the lights. If anyone has that GIF, please hook me up.
I know this isn’t intentional, but the broken image makes the comment 10x funnier.
LOL. Task failed successfully!
I just re-linked the GIF to go through my image proxy (originally linked directly from yarn.io which usually works fine. Usually.). Did that help?
It's also weird that it's not showing the alt text. Figured that'd have at least come through.
Fixed!
Although I preferred when it looked like Bezos yeeted the file.
There you go!
No shooting, but does this work?
We just didn't realize this was a mission statement.
never ask rexy where she was on january 6
This episode.
I did find the "watch me turn off the TV" GIF but not not the lights :(
Not the one you're looking for for but
Thanks!
Yeah, I found that one but it wasn't quite what I wanted so passed on it and fell back to Jurassic Park.
The painful part is that I have that episode on DVD, so I have access to the scene. I just don't know how to go from DVD to GIF. lol
I searched everywhere and couldn't find it, so I made it. Has to be my best contribution to the internet
Thanks!
You are the best. Saving this! Will probably also upload it as a custom emoji on my instance.
