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!

Did... you reply to the wrong comment?
I think you may have, since as you can see by the quotes my comment has about zero relevance to Hillary and is in response to a hypothetical and not my feelings on the case as a whole.
Ohhh hey. I recognize that username.
Isn't it interesting how, when a community is much smaller, we can often remember who the nice folks are. The ones who usually add interesting context, those who make actual funny posts and comments. People who bring actual professional knowledge and insight into interesting conversations...
Then you have the other side of the coin. The names you recognize for the bad reasons... Welcome to that list, bud.
Hello pot, I'm the kettle.
Is "kettle" another term for "someone who is constantly confidently incorrect"?
I know it's either that or, "a person who's profession is to muddy the waters on social media to further/denigrate a specific cause, and/or to simply sow chaos and discord online."
I like to give people the benefit of the doubt so I'm leaning toward the former. But stranger things have occurred...
You mostly seem to like to post smug personal attacks in my interactions with you, but hey, you can operate under whatever delusions you want. It doesn't bother me.
I don't attack any interactions with anybody. In fact, I don't even know what that means. I just recognized the username, and thought it was interesting that I didn't need RES to tell me that your opinions can be safely ignored, and that I shouldn't waste my time trying to have a good faith conversation with you.
Uh huh, well feel free to contact me if you ever arrive at a point.
Are you illiterate?
