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!

I don't see the problem. It's just a pirate tattoo. There's no proof he knew what it meant when he got it. He can't be an Nazi because he says progressive things. This is just the establishment Democrats like Chuck Schumer trying to smear him because they're afraid of the things he's advocating for.
Whoops! I had two scripts printed out on my desk and got them confused. Let's see here...
I don't see the problem. It's just a Roman salute. There's no proof he knew what it meant when he did it. He can't be a Nazi because he supports Israel. This is just the establishment Democrats like Chuck Schumer trying to smear him because they're afraid of the the things he's advocating for.
If anybody is baffled by how Republicans can watch a guy perform a sieg heil twice on live TV and be fine with it, it's literally the exact same justifications that people are using all over this and other threads.
Woah Woah Woah. What'd I tell you about blowing cover like that?! You're on verry thin ice buddy!
You think this job's bad? Hah! One more slip-up like that and I'll swap your sorry ass with a clanker, and you'll go to work with the team downstairs instead.
What exactly do they do, you ask?
Their job is to find out what everyone's using those fancy pervert glasses for! (Sounds like fun, right? Hah! LMAO)
There's a reason we do that kind of work in the basement: no windows to jump out of after you've spent 12 straight hours living vicariously through some randomly-selected psycho! Seeing exactly what he sees! Viddy-ing his little world in 4k with your eyes propped open, Ludovico style! God I love that movie
Don't worry, we have plenty of eye drops, but look, our customers are some very sick individuals!!
(Is it bad that I find that a little exciting?)
You think you've plumbed the lowest depths of the human condition?! Well lemme tell ya - by the end of the day we'll have you trawling the human condition's Mariana Trench! You'll be doing verry important work, gathering super valuable (hnng) ~~footage~~, err, insights. Hehe, ya. But you might wish you never had eyes to begin with! You'll beg to forget!! (Don't worry, we're investing in that one next!)
Straighten up!
XOXO 💋
Your Boss,
