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!

Yep, check in on me this Sunday to see how my entry into to the US goes. I'm hopeful for success, but who knows. I land in JFK Saturday night. ✌️
Good luck, friend.
Last time I entered the country through JFK, I was sent to the secondary screening room. I get sent there almost always that I come to the US, where they waste 2hr or more of my life to tell me that everything is correct and I can continue my travel. Anyways, you are not allowed to use phones or other electronic devices there, so I was bored and listening to the conversations that the immigration officers where having.
A couple of officers were talking about having to work overtime because some officers got fired recently. One of them got fired for watching porn in their work computer. He basically brought a USB with porn, and plugged into his work computer. Turns out the porn had viruses on it, and he infected the computer. The viruses leaked a bunch of data of travelers. I was appalled to what I was hearing.
The other officer that got fired didn't like American women getting married to foreigners. So he denied entry and sent back every foreigner that came in with visas to get married in the US.
It's really crazy the shit that happens in the American immigration system.
Best of luck fam, it's dicey over here right now
Checking in, how did it go?
I'm getting worried about them x.x
This is your schedule check in: Did you make it?
