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!

Say whatever you want about the advisability of Biden dropping out, it is going to make the best fucking content.
Real leftist unity right here. Either way it's gonna be 10 times more interesting than biden vs trump.
Can someone please lift the interesting curse. Can we have boring back?
No, we've been instructed to live in interesting times, and goddammit that's what we're doing.
Whoever read this fortune forgot to add the mandatory "in bed" at the end.
Now, we're all fucked.
Now we're all fucked... in bed!
That is my preferred location.
Idk man, sometimes switching things up is nice, gets boring when you just do it in the same place all the time.
Fortune? No, we're up against some real monkey's paw shit at this point. Someone blurted out all five wishes at once without thinking, and here we are.
Everyone, quick, grab a lamp, a bottle, a vase, anything, and start rubbing.
We're gonna need tbose genie's.
… anything?
You heard what I said.
And now Trump being shot at is no longer being reported lol
It was a big deal, but his injury was minimal and there is no flashy politcal reason for the attack. The murder of the crowd is just background noise in our gun soaked politics.
The kid had deep depression and was looking for a big target of either party to "suicide by cop." The lack of a manifesto or an outward politcal lean, regardless of his conservative roots, makes it just a weak story.
I love that the U.S. is so fucked that the attempted assassination of a former U.S. President is old news after a week.
We're all still hoping for a copycat.
I'm just commenting that the news cycle ate it up. I said that it would as if happened and sure enough, this did it.
It was never about him being shot though, it was about mental health, right? 😏
