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!

Rogan promoted the conspiracy theory that Epps was an “agent provocateur” for the feds, a baseless claim that has led to a defamation suit against Fox News.

That literally isn't what I said or my point. Not a single person has replied without adding shit. That fuck motherfucker has damaged all of you.

[–] FlyingSquid 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If not a single person has addressed your point to your satisfaction, maybe the problem is your communication skills, not everyone else.

[–] PsychedSy -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah. I say it concisely and clearly and you guys hear whatever you want.

[–] FlyingSquid 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sure, no one understands you and it's all everyone else's fault. Logical.

[–] PsychedSy 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They just refuse to respond to my actual point.

[–] FlyingSquid 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you think that it is even slightly possible that no one understands your point?

[–] PsychedSy -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think it's more likely it's a complicated topic and people just can't stop and consider a single aspect of it.

[–] FlyingSquid 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That must be it. You're just too complicated for anyone to understand. If only we all were at your level of high intelligence. Alas, you are surrounded by inferiors. Inferiors all.

[–] PsychedSy 1 points 1 year ago

This is my point. I didn't say anything of the sort. I'm not particularly complicated. The point isn't complicated. The topic is complicated tho. People's emotional involvement with Trump bullshit doesn't help, either.

I was commenting on a very small thing that's part of a much larger political discussion and my point got lost in the greater point. Every argument people made was in relation to things I didn't say or even imply. I can't do anything about that. I can't be any more clear or concise. Pigs incite riots. Period. It's not crazy to think they tried this time, either.
