- 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.

Who's going to sanction who? This thread was talking about lying on a resume. You think a country will impose sanctions on another for something as menial and stupid as that? Countries don't use sanctions unless it's billions of dollars or many lives involved.
You are misunderstanding what they mean by sanction. In this case it's just a penalty that could threaten you if you were ever within the courts jurisdiction. They don't mean that the US would impose a sanction on your home country.
The courts could rule you in contempt and have a warrant issued in your name. If you ever were inside of the jurisdiction you would then be potentially arrested and held until you could face criminal charges for contempt. Extradition is a thing as well but that really doesn't happen unless it's a major crime both countries recognize.
Sure. They can do whatever they want in their country but that won't have any effect on me if I never set foot there.
Indeed. A lien might have some abstract affect on you because of the interconnected global financial system but it's all fringe stuff: Visa troubles when applying to visit a third country, events showing up on background checks, etc.
Everytime you make a comment, you add to a growing list of things that need to be explained to you for you to understand....
Like, I'm sorry but this is verbal quicksand, the more I try to help you, the more stuff you need explained.
Does it help with your insecurities to try to project them on others?
