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!

I ducked into Texit Twitter yesterday and it's like an Alamo cosplay, an entirely fictional version of events is everywhere where there's somehow a 10th Amendment right to secede and Abbott is proving state supremecy by not complying with some deadline the federal government gave them to comply with the Supreme Court order. As if it was Iraq not abiding by Bush's demands and thus initiating war instead of the obvious actual situation where they are going to be sued again.
Inciting an insurrection…
The south is stupidly rising again
If that shithole secedes, can’t we just immediately go to war with them- reclaim it as American territory, and then put someone in charge with a brain?
He's about to go full Sovcit
I knew we were teasing World War III but I didn't think it would start with a Civil War.
Man, Texas sure does blow
My favorite part of this is that despite this “border crisis, ”Gregory Wayne Abbott is galavanting around fkn India like he’s Anthony fkn Bourdain. Meanwhile, we have all sorts of shit convoys and armed goofies coming there to “volunteer in Texas.” Eagle Pass is only 97% Hispanic, so I’m sure nobody will get confused and murder some nice citizen or anything.
He looks like he's on a game show, bright colours behind him and everything.
The way his mouth is open almost looks cartoonish
Another afflicted with magabrain.
