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!

If hating what Trump does and represents is a mental disorder, then I am terminal and highly-contagious.
This is a foot in the door for using the mechanisms of criminal psychiatry to brutalize opposition, not a joke.
Kennedy has been talking about putting the "mentally ill" in farming concentration camps since he floated challenging Biden. This is Step 1 to criminalizing political opposition.
Step 1?
I feel like we're already on step 32.
Step 32 of Fascism. This is the part where they make sure there will be no elections.
There will always be elections. They might just be Venezuela style.
It also silences their voices and discredits anything they say so opposition don't gain more support as the GOP dismantle our democracy in front of our eyes.
Relationships will become more strained.
Unfortunately much of this country has developed a vaccine for this apparently.
If only you were highly contagious
I don't hate him, I don't know him.
I hate what he does. I hate what he says. I hate who he associates with. I hate his voice. I hate his face. I hate everything about him.
I will celebrate with so much champagne when he dies.
