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!

They are trying to ruin Bluey? Australia's second greatest cultural export? Is nothing sacred any more?
It's pathetic how they are not making shows out of love, but out of spite.
What's the greatest cultural export in your opinion?
Esteemed Academy Award nominated character actor Hugh Jackman, of course!
That man can sing.
I'd say it's a tie between Steve Irwin and the bloomin' onion.
... the bloomin' onion isn't Australian. Americans made it up.
Next you’re gonna tell me fortune cookies aren’t Chinese.
Um, no. It was brought over by poor Australian immigrant outback steak chefs in the 1980s. You can tell it's legit because all thier menu items have authentic Australian words in them.
I swear one of the most American things ever is to think a lot of the foods we associate with certain countries that we invented came from other countries.
Makes it seem more exotic. That fortune cookie? Super exotic because you can only get them when you eat Chinese, so they must have originated from China!
Theyre from San Francisco for anyone curious.
Steve Irwin.
All these people forgetting about the Wiggles.
The Wiggles at one point were the highest-grossing Australian band of all time, beating out AC/DC. (I don't think that's true anymore though.)
The wiggles could never all be on a plane together. I think they said they always sent 2+2 on commercial flights so if one crashed half the band would still be around

knifey spoony was the greatest cultural export
