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!

You don't get it guys, there's literally no evidence that Russia likes Trump and wants Republicans to win! None! They never met with Russian operatives to discuss orphans (dropping the sanctions on Russia from the magnitski act, orphan exchange was retaliation from Russia)
There was never a young redhead Russian operative dating Republican politicians!
There was never a meeting between Trump and Putin where no US translators were allowed!
There was never an attempt to make a Trump Moscow hotel!
There was never a transaction between Paul Manafort and a Russian intelligence operative where he shared campaign information!
There was never a time that Trump said on a news conference before the election, “Russia, if you’re listening — I hope you are able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press. Let’s see if that happens.” Russia never released the DNC emails the next day!
Sean Hannity yelled at me that Democrats are the ones helping Putin and they're the real Nazis so I believe it!
Always include the /s because otherwise you sound like several batshit crazy relatives of mine that would froth at the mouth with all that and mean it.
We're in the alternate timeline.
Yeah I basically channelled my father for that one lol Last time I saw him it was just a firehose of fox news talking points...
Donnie being supported by the Russians, is a feature, not a bug, since the cons think Russia is doing the right things when it comes to protecting whites, cishet, xtians, etc...
It all depends on why you're talking about Russia.
Russia wants Trump to win: No! Fake News! He's the hardest on Russia, more than any president ever! The Democrats are the ones working for Putin!
Russia in general: Russia is a great country with a strong leader, it's good to see Republicans pushing to emulate that! Ukraine would have never been invaded if Republicans were in power!
