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!

I'm going to hate him even harder now. Thanks.

Won't stop the world from hating him.

It wouldn't stop Americans either I daresay; it would "just" criminalize expressing it.

"The 1st amendment? Wazzat? Does it make me richer?" -- US Republicans, probably.

2nd seems to ironically be a distant memory for them, all of sudden, and now they're out to kill the 1st.

It must be nice to be amoral, unburdened by principles, unshackled by intellectual honesty and unhampered by hypocrisy: They can shamelessly do anything and still sleep like a baby when they're done.

"Hey I can reduce the amount of stress I feel by unilaterally make other people feel x10 as much, but that sounds like a their kind of problem. Pft. Taking responsibility for my own life? What am I, some sort of adult?"

It's the core of the criminal mind-set: That somebody else should non-consensually pay the price for the criminal's actions.

So they want to make it illegal to have a feeling?

Thoughts and Prayers you gaslighting leeches.

I AGREE that hating ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS STEALING OUR JOBS should be a Crime! Wait! I mean hating RICH PEOPLE should be a Crime regardless of their Legal Status or Effect on Jobs! We should STILL be able to hate Minorities FREELY!

When does the fake "doge" department propose creating a Ministry of Love to enforce these thoughtcrimes?
