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!

When Republicans keep saying things like “total abortion ban”, yeah, we get that impression.
edit: fucking Texas is trying to make it illegal to drive to get around their abortion ban
Show us your PAPERS!!
Sometimes I wish we could go back to when they were mainly known for open beverage containers, but it was pretty fucked then too.
Every time I see Texas in the news I say a little prayer for the man who my Greatx4 (5?) Grandfather, who definitely had some looser morals around things like murder and escaping prison twice, shot. If it weren't for their unfortunate ass, my family might still be in that awful place.
Yeah Ohio made a 10 year old go to fucking Indiana for an abortion. That’s part of why we legalized abortion
Not a violent person but I genuinely want to break things whenever I’m reminded of that. Just unbelievable from every direction, from people who preach about caring for children.
Republicans have never cared about children.
Classic stuff. He was so dead on accurate for then and now, and even he probably wouldn’t believe where things are today. We would get some epic rants.
edit: man, it’s hard to believe he’s been gone 15 years. The shit that’s happened since then.
edit2: I was just trying to work out how it’s possible it’s been only 15 years, then remembered that Trump’s presidency only took up 4 of them LOL
Unfortunately we still have a ways to go to protect our children from republicans. We need to ban all instances of underage marriage. I don’t give two shits if your parents are ok with it. Unless some evidence comes out that it’s actually beneficial for the child long term I don’t want to allow 16 year olds to get married.
In addition to that, most child marriages are young girls married to men twice their age.
Republicans are scaring women just fine on their own by making is less safe to be a woman
Fucking Texas made it so that someone that presents male, whom all of their classroom mates referred to as he, can't participate in a high school play as a male character.
“Don’t mess with Texas, because we’re insecure about a lot of things.”
And the IQs!
I could cheerfully never once hear about this issue again.
Oh hun, you don't need to blame Democrats for that. You're spreading that message quite clearly yourselves.
Yep. It turns out that a great many people don't fall for their bullshit gaslighting.
ETA: Also, I think everyone given a chance to interact with Klannity should always ask when he's going to be waterboarded.
