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 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.
- 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. Attempting to manipulate up/down votes is grounds for account deletion.
- 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, 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

Bummer, I can't watch that from here in the US. I've been slacking on getting a VPN...
Been wanting to watch the later seasons of The Rise of Nazis, too.
Hell yeah, thanks dude. Will be watching this over the next couple days.
Keep an eye on the different ones. I got a sub to Proton Plus for like $3/mon at Thanksgiving time. Plenty of others out there have great deals every once in a while. I hadn't used a personal VPN for a while, but at this point I see no difference between my non-VPN speeds and speeds when connected.
Obviously you have to extend some trust to any VPN, but them being Swiss (nationally no obligation to provide logs to anyone, anywhere) and having a strict no-logs policy was attractive to me. Sure, they might be full of shit on those claims, but anyone else might be too.
