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!

One good thing to come out of Reddit’s demise is that I hadn’t read her name in about three weeks.
I just realised how much MTG related coverage there was on Reddit.
@currychaos
For a minute I was scratching my head wondering how I missed all the Magic the Gathering coverage when I barely saw any 🤣
It sure would be nice if any MTG mention is promptly spammed by Magic the Gathering content and buried. I don't even play MTG and I'd prefer to have my feed taken over by it! Fuck yeah, nerds--get your game on!
(Disclosure: I am indeed a nerd, too.)
They did find the One Ring card from their new LOTR set recently. Some shop is paying $2 million euros for it. I desperately hope someone throws it into a volcano a la Mount Doom.
Reminds me of the time I spent in 2020 wondering why all the right wingers were so mad at the Bureau of Land Management.
They are mad at the Bureau of Land Management.
Basically, they're mad at everything.
The western land issue is one of the chief things that makes them popular out west. There's more federal land than private and state combined.
Their sense of entitlement when it comes to public lands is unreal.
If someone else owns more of your state than your own citizens, do you really have a state? It's easy for us to pontificate in states where there's hardly any federal land and the issue is reversed. There needs to be more federal land in the East where ecosystems mean more and less in the West.
