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!

Hillary Clinton is warning about the legality of birth control in the wake of a decision by the Alabama Supreme Court that found frozen embryos created through fertility treatments are children under state law.

“They came for abortion first. Now it’s [in vitro fertilization], and next it’ll be birth control,” the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee and secretary of State said in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

“The extreme right won’t stop trying to exert government control over our most sacred personal decisions until we codify reproductive freedom as a human right,” Clinton added.

Soon jacking off will be a crime

I mean they are literally passing laws which require attaching your real name to your porn habits. So yeah, I'd say it is 100% the goal to leak this stuff and eventually, openly persecute people for it.

Probably just to blackmail, at least at first.

Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson:

It scans all the activity on your phone, or your devices, your laptop, what have you; we do all of it,” Johnson told the panel about the app

It sends a report to your accountability partner. My accountability partner right now is Jack, my son. He’s 17. So he and I get a report about all the things that are on our phones, all of our devices, once a week. If anything objectionable comes up, your accountability partner gets an immediate notice. I’m proud to tell ya, my son has got a clean slate.”

Ahh yeah. Nothing has helped my relationship with my son like cold distant surveillance.

Ah yes, I'm sure a 17 year old teenager has found absolutely no way to watch porn other than his (now infected) phone. Nope. No siree.

[–] CharlesDarwin 2 points 8 months ago

That, and if this dumbazz thinks his son is not yanking it because he infected his phone, he's about as deluded as it gets.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

So Jack no Jack off?

These people won't stop till its literally illegal to be naked by yourself without some homely chapped-ass chaperone

[–] Shadywack 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Amusing as it is, nah. You've all got the conservatives pegged wrong. They don't want abortions, they just want people abandoned for sake of their twisted virtue signaling. It's perfectly acceptable to have a baby then abandon it in a dumpster. They also like their porn and booze. Most preachers are guilty of a hentai fetish or some weird shit. Jacking off will be a crime if it's to gay porn only.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

You've all got the conservatives pegged wrong.

I'm pretty sure they're against that too, at least until you get them alone.

[–] nifty 4 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Or maybe being single will be a crime? A fantasy dreamed up the utterly deranged.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

I'm sure there's a relevant bible verse that can be used to justify that.

There's that one where "and Jesus spoke unto his flock, 'maketh my words weapons, and ye shall have the word of God to force women to have sex with you for all eternity' and everybody clapped"

[–] CharlesDarwin 2 points 8 months ago

Uh oh, the incels won't be happy with that at all. Same with the MGOTW bunch (who are probably also just incels, too, if we are being honest).
