- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.

- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

i for one can't wait for the first official TFFD-- trump's finally fucking dead day, already my favorite holiday, which i may extend to at least a week of celebration
We’ve got champagne in the fridge just waiting…
I've already debated whether I should buy the champagne now in case of a shortage or wait.
I've decided to try to contribute to the sales stats of that day.
I've had a well aged bottle of scotch in storage waiting for that joyous day.
I’m getting a beer truck and acting like Stone Cold Steve Austin until it’s drained and everyone on the block is hammered
Buy one now AND then, that's my plan.
It will be a tremendous party. I think an 18 year Macallan would be appropriate.
12 year scotch seems more appropriate
For Trump? I need something old enough to consent.
I'll be doing the safety dance (stare at your hands, then realize everyone else who's dancing is a friend)
I'm taking the week off of work. No question.
He looks like he's already had at least one minor to moderate stroke
A stroke would be OK too.
He's already had a couple that's why his face droops and he wears that exoskeleton thing to help him walk.
I wonder how they power it. Has anyone put a clock on his long form talks to see if there's a max time, or if they end kind of suddenly even if he's on a roll with the crowd?
I don’t want to imagine him having a “stroke”
It's unfortunate that nothing would change.
