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!

As opposed to...
The Christmas story is at the heart of the Christian faith, but the values of hope, love, peace, and joy are universal.
They speak to all of us as human beings who are here on this Earth to care for one another, to look out for one another, to love one another.
These values are always important, and we see them in action in communities throughout our country.
All across America, we see stories of revival and renewal, hope and optimism. And pride. Pride in your work, in your family, in your town. Pride in this nation.
My hope this Christmas season is that we take a few moments of quiet reflection. To really look at each other, not as Democrats or Republicans, but as who we really are: Fellow Americans. Fellow human beings worthy of being treated with dignity and respect.
We’re truly blessed to live in this nation. And I truly hope we take the time to look out for one another…
Jill and I wish you and your family peace, joy, health, and happiness this season.
From the Biden family to yours, Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
Joe Biden President of the United States
Man, what a tyrant.
Now that's presidential!
A measured message to which the GOP will probably reply by licking their own poop then flinging it at people.
