Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

I just got back from DC (821 mile drive round trip) to show my support for our veterans.

There were a lot of great speakers with heartfelt messages for us to listen to and absorb. This was my first protest; hopefully not my last.

The organizers (Cliff Cash and Jessica Denson of Fourteenth Now!) did a great job putting this all together.

Thank you too all of our service members, past and present! Also thank you to everyone who showed up to support our service members!

Side note: As I mentioned, I’d never been to a protest before. I’m also a severe introvert who sucks at organizing himself, and I went alone. I almost backed down, especially when my youngest son said he was scared of me getting arrested. But it is for him and my other son that I went, because these things are super important!

LINDA F. HERSEY, can honestly shut the fuck up about this since it absolutely is right because it was part of their project 2025 agenda and majority of veterans voted for it.

Shut it the fuck up veteran buttercups, you're DEIA hires and you voted en masse to be fired and to have your VA benefits cut so just enjoy it like the rest of us are forced to enjoy it because of your 70% selfish, racist asses.
