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!

About damn time! These fucking leftists were so mean to me by imposing onto me that I can't harrass people based on their sexuality! Like... what kind of world are we leaving our children if they can't even discriminate others peacefully?
Oh, no! It’s not just harassment!
You can destroy someone’s life and livelihood because you think they’re gay!
Getting fired from a job at a time when the federal gov is actively cutting social supports, and intentionally driving the economy to ruin when most U.S. citizens have meager savings (if any), and are dependent on employer provided health care is an instant path to free fall for most people! Unless those peasants have family that is willing and able to support them, or a high demand skill that will overlook a recent firing (an automatic D/Q on most HR systems), they are going to lose their ability to feed themselves, pay for their housing, and their transportation in this car-poisoned society.
It’s not merely a little ‘fuck you’ but you can end their relationships, destroy their health, prevent them from working in their chosen field, and make them die on the streets! Even barring the most extreme outcomes, the health and financial implications from the stress or loss of income can permanently adjust the trajectory of their life (and the life of everyone that is close to or dependent on them) downward.
Exciting times for soulless bigots!
