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!

Even this guy’s made up racist claims are weird and awkward.
Like… I’m no stranger to hearing crazy, racist, entitled, rich, white people bullshit stories, But this guy is shockingly bad at making these stories up. One good method of lying is to include enough believable detail that, of course, this must’ve happened. Another method of good lying is to be so over the top that the sheer commitment to the story makes it believable. This douchebag is nowhere in the galaxy of being smart enough, but of course he also had neither it being both ridiculous in the extreme nor it being outrageous enough with the level of commitment for it to be believable. It just sounds like he made up some racist bullshit, on the spot, because he felt pressured to fit in.
“Oh, yeah, hehe, right, those Haitians, yeah… I heard uhh… Ohioans keep saying they kill and eat hamsters! Or cats or whatever… That’s what people are saying!”
This couchfucker is bad at ordering donuts. What a weirdo.

No offense, but I think I just did a pretty good job at pointing the finger at his next weird thing
You’re not wrong, but his weirdness didn’t end with the donuts
I meant that in the 'forget about being a racist politician, he can't even do everyday things like ordering food' way. There are racists and misogynists who wouldn't be utterly baffled in a donut shop but this guy can't do even that.
