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 you squint and slightly misinterpret it, Darwin says stupid will fix itself eventually.
You just have to not save it at the last second.
Unfortunately they compromise herd immunity for the people who can't get vaccinated for legitimate reasons, so they're intent on taking a few of us with them.
Unfortunately, my wife's niece has leukemia and as such doesn't really have her own immune system, so not only can she not get the vaccine, she would almost definitely die if she got covid.
When we got married, we decided masks on for the event, and that made our first choice maid of honor to flip her shit on us about how we're not kuzzling her, and called us sheep. Then she got a face tattoo.
A few of her family members decided to no longer speak to us over masks, even though they KNOW her family and know her niece is immunocompromised.
Damn. She’s definitely committed to…..something, I guess? What was the face tattoo of, and does she have a job? Just curious how that’s working out for her.
It was baffling, apparently she got some kind of dagger.
She started an OF apparently and I guess recently got a job at an Amazon warehouse, my wife sees updares on social media but they don't talk anymore.
Huh. Interesting character for sure. Well, congrats on the marriage, & thank you for mandating masks through all of that.
Not much short of magic is going to stop climate collapse at this point, so I think we're good on that front. Hopefully it gets us all, this whole mess will only start over if it doesn't.
