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!

Just focus on not deporting all of us or making us all into slaves. That would be a positive.
I got stopped by a cop on my way to my home after a long ass day of challenging work. Now, after not being murdered by that cop, I drive an extra few Miles to evade the location where that cop always parks.
C'mon! What the fuck! OK so he didn't punch me or kill me this time. What about tomorrow? Should I always drive at 25mph everywhere just to make sure that cop doesn't stop me?
They stopped me because I forgot my little registration sticker.....wrong! Nobody can pick out a registration sticker that quick. They just saw my brown face and wanted an easy stop.
But yeah, how about the cops not murdering me in public? I would gladly vote for that.
That’s your bar? Stop hitting me? That’s like battered person syndrome or something.
I want Equity. It’s a revolution so wild that Mao would be uncomfortable or I’d rather continue to accelerate.
All you are asking for is less abuse. I’m cool. Kill me or take me (back) to prison. I’m not interested in being exploited.
Also I was being cynical in my sarcastic comment.
