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.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 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.
That's all the rules!

Funny thing to say about a diaper sniper
People downvoting you, but one of my customers works for my city's government. Apparently she met the guy during his first term, and according to her he really does smell like shit. She said she didn't know if it was the diaper meme or just BO/body spray, but he did smell genuinely awful.
Anyone who has worked in a coal fired power plant would know that "clean and beautiful" are not words that describe the inside of one of those places. Ask me how I know.
How do you know?
They can't say but really wants too
And he told a girl that she sounded cute and beautiful. Then he asked how old she was.
She said she was 8.
New lows are reached on a daily basis.
Too old to throw into Lake Michigan though, luckily
No. The real thing to remember….he hit on an 8 year old.
Yeah, that was so freaky...he really just can't control himself around children apparently
The calls were all pretty creepy... He's way too good at talking to children. He immediately finds a way to impress upon them he's important in a way they can relate to and compliments them on something, it was like watching high speed grooming
Ahh ‘jokes’ doing some heavy lifting
As he starts a nuclear fusion company…
That was an onion article lol
It’s from nbcnews. I’m confused. Where did you see onion?

I don't know what the hell is going on anymore.
Republicans do stuff so ridiculous that you can't easily tell.
What's actually happening:
- Truth Social stock value dropped sharply because its not a platform with any real monetization potential
- a fusion company with no working product wanted to sell stock to the public so its founders could make off with a bunch of money
- so they merged to create hype for the truth social stock and to let the fusion company list shared without having to undergo the usual scrutiny
What hasn't happened
- the silly name the Onion came up with
What might happen:
- large transfers of money from the federal government to the combined firm
Oh. Hard to tell the diff these days…
Achieving levels of "out of touch" heretofore considered unimaginable
What an absolute scumbag. (My apologies to scumbags everywhere).
