Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Have you SEEN 1980s pro-wrestling, where everyone was coked up? I'd LOVE to see Biden paint his face with beautiful colors, run around shirtless with arm tassles cutton off his veins, snarling when he talks, and talking about being sacrificed to the front lawn where his only choices are to be eaten alive by a school bus of the cosmos, or get your head run over by a sentient lawnmower that's coming for your WWF intercontinental championship.

Guys.....lets give Biden and Trump copious amounts of coke before each debate. I'd watch the hell out of that shit.

I've always been a bit salty that wrestling kept preempting my science fiction shows, so I wouldn't call myself a fan, but I have seen a lot of WWF (haven't watched since the name change). I know exactly what you mean and that would be pretty epic.

If it makes you feel better, in the 90s, wrestling fans had our wrestling interupted by the west minster dog show.

We tune in every July, and for 2 weeks, during the SUMMER!!! When school was out, and we could finally stay up late......we see dogs running up ramps, and showing how they could pose.

I think more folks would watch political programming if they could cut sweet promos like this.

I'm going to need some delocalization on this one.

Thts called typing on a bus with a phone bouncing around because the driver is an asshole, trying to do 60 on a 25, and hitting every pothole in sight.
