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!

Come on, if you pull an O'Hara on us, you owe us a McConnell, tit for tat.

“His prognosis is positive and he is grateful for the excellent care he is receiving,”

Damn it

I keep loosing that really tiny violin.. where did I put that thing?

I hate Trunt with my prefrontal cortex for his fraud and sedition against the United States of America.

I hate McConnell with my amygdala, which instinctively recognizes him as a sneering, hostile, alien threat to our species.

O thank God. Now he can't nominate another supreme court justice

It's Mitch mcuckas to y'all.

Had he been good like Kevin's mom from home alone, we would all be bawling. But I don't know, I was fine with Kevin's mom passing because she was plenty old. My mom is old but I know her personally so I would cry for a few months on and off.

But mitch DA bi*ch? I think hell is currently preparing a welcome party... Forks cherry red ready for comfortable ass impalement. A nice pfffsssss noise just sizzling and foaming.

But I don't judge. I'm probably going to hell too although I'm just gonna be there randomly moving along. I'm probably only going to be gently emancipated for eternity. Maybe only a little sizzling and acid pickling but not for many thousands of ages. Maybe a few thousand years. It gets easier with friends.

All these pieces of shit live so long because they're afraid of atoning for their piles of crimes and lies and deceit. Rest in piss to the likes of Rumsfeld, Cheney and everyone else responsible for exploiting the ignorant to drag this country down.

Death is too good a fate for the people who deserve it the most.

Edit: typo

Oh God, this year is looking up!
