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!

MODERATORS
I know a police chief who hates Trump with a burning passion. Stop thinking they are all like Arpaio.
Want about a million counter examples?
You say every one, someone else says there are exceptions, you say obviously but this is true for most of them, they say yeah that’s fair, and nothing of substance is added to the discussion. Why not skip that whole rigamarole and just start with “the vast majority” or “nearly every one” instead of unnecessarily hyperbolizing?
Most people have brains that can process obvious hyperbole without falling all over themselves.
See, there you go! Now I can’t point out the one guy that demonstrates an exception if you stated “every person” instead of most! I get that it’s an annoying thing to change, but is it more annoying than having this conversation multiple times?
You should realize that most people don't find the concept of a discussion annoying or challenging, but i expect that probably is not the case for conversations that include you.
I find it annoying when a large portion of law enforcement would likely help the federal government interfere with elections and people start nitpicking over exactly how many. If I can offer a simple solution to prevent getting sidetracked like that in the future, I will.
