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!

Everyone has a finite amount of fucks at any given moment.
The article is worth the 2 minute read because it accurately and concisely explains why the claim is bullshit.
And I had no idea the SC justices sat with Dems...
Like, all of them, even the ones appointed by trump. I had seen the clip Barret looking shitty at trump, but all of them sitting with Dems is something I'm choosing to be optimistic about.
Their seats are for life and Dems have proven they don't have the balls to kick them out. So now the threat to their power is trump, if he's kept in check they maintain status quo and their personal power for 30-40 years, probably longer.
If trump does a full takeover, they're essentially rendered powerless because they wouldn't be able to disagree with him, and their cooperation would be taken for granted because at that point trump would replace them.
So like I said, everyone has finite fucks.
Use them to find silver linings sometimes. Shits gonna get worse but we need hope if people are gonna fight. Dont do what James Carville says and stick your head in the sand. Do what Ken Martin is doing and look for the best places to fight
This. I had no idea SCOTUS was in the same seats as the Democrats until I read the article.
I love these so much that I'm not sure it matters, but are these real?
French is true (Je m'en bats les couilles)
I work with closely with a Dutch coworker. There's no way that isn't true. In fact, I'm fairly certain that's probably one of the tamer variations.
Finnish one is an actual and common expression among the scatologically inclined. "Even the stones care" might be another one.
