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!

MODERATORS
You mentioned George Soros out of the blue, I figured Murdoch would be better for your 'just asking questions' kind of style.
Thanks for assuming you know everything about me because of a couple comments.
We could all do well to emulate your extreme open mindedness and ability to think critically.
Sorry. Didn’t mean to assume. I “ask questions” to challenge the way people think. It’s not always concern trolling. I’m not open-minded though. I detest echo chambers.
I always take the time to listen to people, you should try it someday!
Listen to echo chambers?
Listen to people, like I said.
If you assume everything that’s being said outside of your predefined worldviews are an echo chamber, aren’t you guilty of the exact same thing?
As if I didn’t already listen to people. And no, I strive to not have an echo chamber. Is that an echo chamber unto itself? Is life a simulation?
Why do you keep linking things without context or a summary of what you're linking?
If you call everything you disagree with an echo chamber and you admit you're closed minded then yes, you strive to be in an echo chamber.
Baudrillard is a philosopher that wrote about hyper reality and simulation. I was being hyperbolic about being closed minded. Look at my history before assuming anything else about me. I’ve looked at yours. Are you North Korean?
So I shouldn’t listen to what you are saying but look into your comment history to see what you really mean?
That’s not a great style of communication.
Yes. It gives context to my intent. Seriously, how is North Korea? I’m genuinely curious.
It’s the freest country in the world of course, but that’s not the conversation we’re having.
Are you using my comment/post history to deflect from this conversation?
Are you trying to ‘win’ this conversation that way?
I’m just trying to understand your thoughts and why you think that way.
I’m not trying to win. I’m curious. If you look at my history you’ll see that I’m pretty far left. I don’t support Trump or his flunky judge. I’m just trying to impress upon readers that the established media isn’t necessarily their friend, and they should think critically about how they consume it. That is all. But I get crapped on for not hating Trump hard enough. Sorry for trying to broaden everyone’s understanding. Can I ask what Kaesong is like?
I have found most of your arguments and conversation so far to be very disingenuous.
I don’t give a shit if you like or hate Trump or the judge, if you’re far-left or far-right as long as you’re being honest and forthcoming with what you say.
I don’t think you are being that way and that’s probably why you get ‘crapped on’ as you put it.
Sorry you feel that way. I am being sincere. I subscribed to the Kaesong community, and hope to see more pictures of your beautiful city.
All hail the Supreme Leader.
