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!

I had a roommate once throw fists at me because I wouldn't capitulate to his idea that Bear Grylls is superior to Survivorman.
Real talk, Chris, If you're reading this, Bear Grylls is just a piss fetishist with military training. Survivorman was his own film crew, and never pissed in his own mouth on camera.
Yeah, fuck Bear Grylls! Les Stroud for life!
Bear Grylls ate deli sandwiches with the crew whenever the camera was off.
Agreed. Bear Gryllis is a showman.
My turnpoint was when he was dropped and finding his way home and said "Never jump a cliff into unknown waters" just to see him jump a cliff 15min later in the same episode.
It's called foreshadowing.
There was so e episode where so e river footage was just under a bridge in a small town in Alaska. Dude had creds but became a fraud. Les Stroud was just a badass, always.
Bear Grylls also licensed his name to a series of exceedingly shitty knives manufactured by Gerber. He's off my Christmas card list forever.
Les Stroud is the GOAT
