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!

And you keep disregarding this.

Because it's bullshit double standards. And I, for one, have lost complete faith in what the public thinks about anything, especially when it comes to politics.

..and yet seems to care enough to start disparaging people who have legitimate reason to criticize Biden’s pardon of Hunter. Please. You want to have your cake and eat it too

Just like you care enough to criticize their point. We all have opinions, and yours doesn't carry more weight than theirs because they're just fucking opinions.

No, I never said I don’t care. I never said their opinion doesn’t matter. I am saying their opinion of, “everyone who disagrees with Biden’s pardon is a fucking idiot” is a shit take. It is an opinion they can hold and state, and they every right to do so. If you come with a broad generalizing take like that, expect some blowback, Biden is no hero to the majority of Americans

Again, the poster never said that. How is it that you're the only one having a hard time understanding this? And with that, I don't care enough about you or your hang-up to continue this. Maybe lay off the internet for a while. Have a good one.

Boy you're fucking slow. I was referring to this, what you wrote.

You out right lied here. Now, with that being said drink some water and go to bed. ✌️
