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!

Lol. This will destroy any progress they thought they were making burying the Epstein story, even if it is natural causes
"guys, did we do this? was this one us? i'm kinda freaking out over here"
killing Ozzy was successful in taking the focus away for a few minutes
At least he was old. Did they really have to throw in Theo Huxtable?
As someone who was caught in a rip tide with my 6 y/o son, it has to be one of the top worst ways to die.
and a very traumatic experience even when you survive. does he still like swimming in the ocean? I know I didn't after my experience
Good question. Haven't really been to the beach with him in a very long time. That was 21 years ago.
Yep RIP tides are no laughing matter. I was lucky enough when it happened to me I just ended up several hundred feet down the beach. Once you are in it. It can be way harder to get out than a lot of people might think.
Yes, we needed help getting out. I was swimming parallel as needed and kept pushing my son out 2-3 feet ahead of me so I was motivated enough to swim to him. After a few minutes, a young man, probably 20s, came in to help.
At some point they'll have to bring out the big guns and murder Bob Dylan.
Putin kills people all the time. Everybody knows it was him but he's still in power.
It doesn't matter if this keeps the story alive as long as no one faces actual consequences for it.
