Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

That headline is ridiculously confusing because Trump is the former president who said it.

Harris slammed by trump for sounding "more like trump than trump"

Is a lot more honest headline, and highlights how fucking crazy trump is.

How much trump would a Trump trump up if a trumped Trump could trump Trump?

"Slammed by former president" as a reference to what Trump himself said is one of the most egregiously misleading bits of headlining I've seen in a long time.

And of course the entirely useless MBFC bot is fine with it.

Luckily enough, the actual story is Trump throwing a hissy fit over Harris "copying" "his" promise in Vegas to eliminate taxes on tips, as if he was the first and only politician to ever trot that one out, and no amount of diversionary headlining can fully distract from the fact that all this really is is a grown-ass man acting, yet again, like a spoiled child.

The MBFC bot did rank the source pretty unfavorably - I think it's just for tagging, not to block posts.

[–] WatDabney@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Nowhere near as unfavorably as it deserves - that was my point.

"Okay, so we're gonna take aggressive moderation action against misinformation in the political subs"

"Sounds fuckin fantastic"

"By checking the sources of stories and adding MBFC bot"

"Er... that sounds less fuckin fantastic. I mean it sounds fine, sort of, but I think you have a misinformation problem that's a little different from that misinformation problem."

"Oh hey -- here's a story from the Washington Examiner. Enjoy!"

Slammed! Dut duh duh, dut duh duh, let the boys be boys!

Hey @vegeta you want to be blocked, because posting crap like this is how you get blocked.
