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!

"doing poems"? Who does a poem? Don't you write a poem?
They're poeming all over the aircraft carriers!
Ugh, I got meter all down my whites
I did the dankest poem the other day, shit had me fuckin literate out of my mind
Hey, you shouldn't make fun of congressmen with severe learning disabilities.
So that's what the R stands for is it?
In the article, his quote mentions reading them over the boat PA systems. Probably just jealous of their literacy.

Something something ship not a boat. Come at me, squid-bros.Former squid and I still call everything a boat just to see what different people say.
Everyone says boat. Unless they're calling someone shipmate because it's hilarious.
Kinda wish I'd been on a ship just for the experience of it but the closest I got was a grudging admission about being under the "Department of the Navy" umbrella and a dangling carrot of a MEU if I'd been willing to reenlist. Sorta regret not doing it but I'd had my fill of the routine daily bullshit and was ready to move on. All the Navy guys I knew with the first name "Doc" were cool as hell though, the rest were probably at least all right.
I got about a week's worth of boat time. Definitely not for me glad I just joined a department of the navy too.
BIG SHIP LITTLE SHIP
CARDBOARD BOX!
Meet us behind the bike sheds after school, we're going to do some poems.
That's the intelligence of this stooge on full display.
Tommy Tuberville everybody!
