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!

Trump supporters are pissed and saying this bishop was giving Trump a “cnn or the view “ type lecture. I wonder what they think of that Jesus dude who said similar stuff. I wonder if they’ve heard of him. They’d probably roast him as a liberal beta
Jesus was just a weird hippie wandering around telling people to be nicer, until he messed with the rich folks’ money and promptly got nailed to a tree. He probably already has come back and got shot at the border while seeking asylum.
Matthew 25:40 and all that, not that most Christian’s have actually read the book.
I used to be Christian. Reading it again later as an adult, my overall takeaway of the stories was that there was this guy with divine knowledge walking around constantly being disappointed with the state of humanity and a hair up his ass about it. I suppose it wouldn’t be any different today, were the same entity to come back, for some fucking reason.
Anybody who actually knows what they're talking about will tell you that interacting with this society is bullshit. Doesn't take "divine knowledge", just enough open-mindedness to figure out what the deal actually is, without getting caught up in anyone's propaganda narrative.
Jesus did really nail it in that one quote, what was it exactly -
Applies to every keyboard warrior jackass who'll sit there mocking you for hours despite being 100% wrong about everything they say. The society is imprisoned in ignorance by the people who are ignorant, proud, and vocal. Creates the illusion of a social consensus against what's actually the truth, for people who are just following social cues to figure out what's going on, instead of doing real research.
