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
It's not even that they don't care. They think they care, but the issue is that the USA especially has cultivated a certain type of leader (whether a social leader, political leader, or business leader) who succeeds in spite of the fact that they think most rules don't apply to them.
They think they make the rules, and thus shouldn't have to abide by the rules they make. They make rules to control the little people, not to control themselves. They don't have self-control and don't think they need it because they've been allowed to fail upward their whole lives, with no serious negative outcomes despite repeated instances of ignoring the rules to benefit themselves.
They truly are rubes who don't understand how things in the real world actually work and just think they can strongman their way through anything and everything. They genuinely don't even understand why such rules should apply to them at all, once again, because they think that since they're in charge, that should absolve them of following rules. "I'm the boss, why would I follow the rules?"
Source: Every job I've ever had has had some variation of this guy in the upper echelons of the company, truly believing that rules couldn't possibly apply to them simply because they are "in charge." Anecdotal, I know, but it certainly has a strong pattern.
"focus on opsec"
Uhm good job?
