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!

If brain damage makes you a complete piece of shit, then you were always a complete piece of shit in sheep's clothing. I feel like blaming the stroke is just people trying to cope with the loss of someone they thought and hoped would be good that turned out to be a red coat.
Fuck Fetterman.
Just gonna say I actively have to suppress my piece of shit tendencies which at this point have merged with the call of the void. But they are there and if I do start giving in it's the type of shit that'd get ya side eye in Idaho. But I do not want to be my worst tendencies so I do my best to beat it with a stick, also suppress it with open bloodlust towards those I see as valid targets with no moral implications such as Nazis, WASPs, Mormons, Seventh Day Adventist, and cults of any and all types.
Disclaimer: This isn't a defense of the guy. From what I hear, he's been a pos for a long time. He was just able to con voters as an "everyman".
That said, brain damage isn't drinking. It doesn't "reveal" who someone truly is. Damage to the brain can and does change the way it functions at a fundamental level, which can dramatically change how a person behaves and thinks. This isn't to say the actions of brain damaged individuals are entirely excusable - harm is harm and should be addressed. But suggesting it was always what the person was really like is severely misstating what brain damage is.
Drinking doesn't reveal who someone truly is and prolonged drinking does damage your brain. It can even go as far as to induce psychosis
It's an insult to everyone who weathers a little brain damage without becoming a zionist conservative shitbag.
*turncoat.
Red coats at least had the decency to hold onto their views.
I couldn't decide which term was better. I went with red because maga. Turncoat fits better though.
Fuck him anyways! Will my homies hate fetterman.
Yes they will, hopefully all of them.
Unfortunate typo but leaving it so your content makes sense to late comers.
