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!

Does the person blackmailing them have a name very similar to a popular Canadian dish made with french fries?
I think it's funny that both Trump and Putin have names that are euphemisms for farting
Btw, I know it's recognized as a Canadian dish, and Canada likes to flex it, but just wanted to say in passing, it's a Quebec dish!
At the risk of showing my ignorance, isnt Quebec in Canada?
Currently, but they keep trying.
is it like a texas secession thing or a legitimate thing?
As far as I can tell, somewhere between the two.
well to anyone personally connected to the issue, Im sorry if I treated it lightly
It is but it’s pronounced with an accent.
A bunch of dumb fucks wanted to split a while back, had a referendum that almost passed Brexit style. it's been pretty moot since but there are a lot of conservative idiots in Quebec, like Texas.
The only key difference is Quebec has the largest power company and a huge hydroelectric power source, so we've got that going for us, which is nice..
If your electrical system continues working when it's both cold and hot, then you're miles ahead of Texas!
We were born in the cold, molded by it. I didn't see grass until I was already a man and global warming removed winters completely.
Jokes aside it breaks pretty often because of bad weather, but gets repaired within a few hours.
It’s kind of a Texas situation, except they treat it as more than a political motto.
From my experience they are in Old Orchard Beach
Right so... Canadian.
le grumble
I mean sure, as much a Louisiana or southern cooking is from "the US". You wouldn't say "US hot sauce" lol.
Go to BC and your poutine will be shit.
Poutine is shit anywhere outside of Quebec but it doesn't change the fact that Quebec is in Canada which makes it Canadian.
I mean sure? It's a north american dish too at that point. And it's still not wrong to say poutine isn't from all of Canada, it's from one place where people are Canadian lmao.
You're just arguing semantics now which makes you look like an idiot.
Literally how I started this whole thing.
"Semantics, but it's from Quebec".
Then yall went on long rants to tell me I'm wrong. If yall don't think you look like idiots arguing semantics...keep angrily downvoting all my comments too, makes you look real subjective.
But why even argue semantics? Because you like the attention even if it's negative?
So childish.
I was actually adding to the comment. Youre the one who is solely arguing semantic. Does that mean you want the negative attention? That doesn't make sense.
We can tell by the name.
Quebecers becoming Ontarions. That's fucked. Stop it now.
Unlikely, this is more of the domestic and close ally variety e.g. Epstein's handlers/killers, or of that same caliber. The kind of people who can waive off, or prevent, an FBI counterintelligence operation from getting in the way...
