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!

During his presidency I hoped she was different, but Melanoma is no better than him.

I mean I'm still going to remember her as the grifter she was who likely thought the Trump admin was simply something innocuous enough that she could use as a stepping stone to greater heights but hey im glad there's a line she didn't want to cross at least.

Can we get Spicer and Scaramucci on the DNC stage for like 11 seconds each

Spicer was actually in attendance. He was hiding in the bushes outside the venue.

Among. He was among the bushes.

Oh my goodness how could I forget he said that, “among” lol?!

In between the horrific rollback of human rights, attacks on the environment, dismantling of international alliances, and erosion of democratic norms, there were also some genuinely funny moments during that administration.

I'm smiling just remembering Melissa McCarthy playing him on SNL 😂

“She said ‘no’ because she didn’t want to tweet it because everyone should already be peaceful and nonviolent, but because of Antifa she had to tweet it.” /s
