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!

Asshole is 92 years old, how is he still alive?
Only the Good die young.
Henry Kissinger is apparently still alive, at age 100. There is no god.
Money is the fountain of youth in this country. Can you imagine if the US had universal Heathcare like every other developed nation in the world? The Proles might live as long as the elites and we can't have that now, can we?
I mean, the snark is absolutely warranted but for anyone who’s not clear - yeah. That’s the whole idea. Poor people die working cheaply, then the next crop who don’t know shit yet get promoted and continue happily working for cheap. Capitalism is inherently built to fail in just this way. It’s better than some alternatives, i.e. monarchy, but the end stages are just - this - over and over. No healthcare, more guns.
Heaps and heaps of money, and possibly deals with evil supernatural creatures.
The evil acts of spreading lies to destroy our democracy keeps him unnaturally alive.
Murdoch is a wicked man.
Being rich means never being stressed or working and having access to medical care that keeps you alive like a blood sucking vampire.
He literally has blood infusions from healthier young men. Literal vampire.
Well Henry Kissinger is gonna die this week, so hopefully he’s next on the chopping block
