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!

It's funny, I only posted this comment to see the reaction. Specifically because several times recently I've seen things like we shouldn't boob shame Lauren Boebert even though she's a POS. Those comments were upvoted and got comments of agreement coming in. I've always experienced that these societal rules are only for people who are members of certain groups. If it's someone you don't like and is a white guy, anything is on the table. So I post this and you accuse me (falsely) of supporting pedophiles. Why the hypocrisy? Thank you for confirming my suspicions in spectacular fashion.
Hypocrisy? I'll call an idiot, an idiot regardless of their age, weight, looks, race, gender, social status, country, blah, blah, blah.
Trash is trash.
And just an FYI, when someone is garbage and hated like boebert, gaetz, musk, trump, vivek ramaswamy, nikki haley, tim scott, the kardashians, people will pick on the obvious. What do they look like, how do they act, etc.
Anyone can be garbage.
But again, I see people speaking out when someone "body shames" that garbage and it happens to be a woman. When it's a man, I get accused of being a pedophile for pointing out the hypocrisy. Even if YOU specifically happen to be the one exception (which I don't concede you are) it's still a general behavior across sites like this, reddit, etc. People love to make rules for everyone else, but then hold themselves exempt to those exact same rules.
Internet rule #1 Some people just like to troll others.
Some posters may actually be concerned about 'body shaming', but many people just like to stir shit up and argue with the internets. So a scientific observation, it is not.
It's just like reading through posts on any social media that contain spelling errors and heavy 'auto correct' entries, you just need to get a feel for what the poster is actually saying.
And... some people are soooo serious about everything.
If you would rather me body shame you instead of accusing you of being a pedo that's fine too. Or if you want to be an anorexic pedo, I can give you both, I'm not stingy.
And you are free to call me any name you like, I've heard them all, couldn't care less.
Sociologically, humans get stuck in certain behaviors like calling women whores (when they never were) but claiming men are 'legends' for the exact behavior they just accused women of (that's right manwhores, we see you). These 'default' behaviors have existed for hundreds of years (not that it's a good thing). So you will always come across that. And anyone defending trash like boebert is either trolling, addicted to anger posting, desperate to sleep with her (ewwwww!!), or boebert herself.
Thank you for attending my Tedx Talk. :)
