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!

Mate.. no offense but Americans are ludopats, there is even a city which never sleeps with betting games all night long.. viva Las Vegas!!
No no no. You don't GET IT. You have to live the American lifestyle, and THEN you'll understand how everything we say and do makes perfect sense.
Here. Tell ya what. Here's a gun, 40lbs of sugar and high fructuse corn syrup, and a liter of whiskey. This is breakfast. Eat it all. Yes, even the gun. The gun is made of chocolate only made to train your brain from a young brain that guns are happy times, and assosiate them with the release of positive endorphins to brainwashing you into having a positive assosiation with guns. Also unrelated here's a pack of cigerrettes. They are also candy....or chalk....whatever. Pick one.
After lunch, once your body is pumped up with alcohol, sugar, and bad choices, we'll give you a gun! Ha ha ha, just kidding. We'll give you acess to MANY guns!!! You can't have just one silly!!! It's just like Petey the handgun tells us as kids, "Always buy more guns".
Once you have all of that mastered, we'll discuss how the metric system is stupid, and we'll instead be using this banana to measure scale in pictures posted on the internet.
And finally, now that you're ready for the advsnced topics, it's time to talk about politics. Remember, YOUR opinion is the only one who matters, and everyone who disagrees is clearly a nutjob trying to tear this country apart! THATS why we need so many guns.....because we all know that a civil war is coming, and so we need to prepare by arming ourselves like a one man army.
Oh, you thought I was engaging in satirical absurdist humor? No. This is real life in America.....and I didn't bring up religion yet!
