Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

There's always Nikki Minaj, Kid Rock and Jellyroll. 🙄

Edit: Forgot to add Carrie Underwood.

Jellyroll? I don't listen to him, but saw him on LA Fire charity concert and he seemed like a good dude. I'm surprised.

Also looking at Minaj face on the pictures it doesn't look like she is enjoying it. I think she hopes for pardon for her brother and trump has this as a condition. I have my doubts about him keeping his word.

The jury is still out IMO.

He said he's more or less naive to the political climate atm. (Likely due to him getting his life back in order) He did mention to reporters at the Grammys that he is starting to look at things now and that we'll all find out in about a week.

God how is this not satire? He's going to do some research on whether or not Nazis are bad.

He's going to do some market research on whether he has more right-wing or left-wing fans.

The only point that I will give to Nikki is that entertainment industry has more than enough pervs who prey on vulnerable people.

I also guess the point about how Democrats do take for granted black and LGBT voters.

All that shit is known. Case in point, how Ke$ha was blacklisted because she tried to hold Dr. Luke accountable. Also, that shit doesn't absolve her of marrying a fucking pedophile knowingly.

Oh, my bad. I meant you should reconsider about her being someone they should listen to because she won't be releasing a new album. Not because she's not a piece of shit anymore!
