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!

I guess I can add 'hilarious' the the growing list of words that no longer mean anything in particular.

Fascists have no sense of humor. If the Dear Leader makes a joke, they all laugh, because they're servile.

He's in no position to criticize anyone

I had to play with the buttons for a hot minute.

I properly settled on the upvote for the tweet. But holy shit if that isn’t an example of why journalism is fucked. That article is the journalistic equivalent of gossip girls around the football team fawning over a drunk cock measuring contest while the players have shat their white tights and barfed in their jerseys.

I don't like this. I'm concerned about these drones and the government's non-response to them

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

We'll have no idea what the government's response actually is, because why would they make that public? But the likelihood that they don't know anything about those drones is just about nil. That's the kind of activity that gets them very interested very quickly.

I'm referring to the government's public response, which is, "we don't know what they are, but trust us when we tell you that they're not a threat."
