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!

I also guarantee it's partially motivated by Stormy Daniels and publicly discrediting her.

I think it has more to do with only fans allowing porn stars to make money without being manipulated by sketchy porn companies.

But even more, I think the GOP has a ~~soldier~~ baby making agenda. I think it's behind everything from deteriorating public schools, to roe v wade, to illegalizing pornography, to attacking general contraception.

Just look at military enlistment graphs. It's bad. They need more disenfranchised poor's.

It was a thing with them long before she became a national icon.

“Inflation is ravaging family budgets [Nope], drug overdose deaths continue to escalate [Not really], and children suffer the toxic normalization of transgenderism [Not toxic] with drag queens [Only when invited] and pornography invading their school libraries [There is no actual pornography in school libraries].”

The way this one churns out the lies, we may have a top contender for Trump's VP spot.

He's not entirely wrong on the porn in schools thing. There's plenty of kinky shit in those bibles they're scramming in there.

If there is a Bible in the school library, then there is porn.

Edit: ah, Decoy321 beat me to it.

If they make streaming porn illegal, I'll start hosting tons of torrents and post QR codes around my neighborhood. Of all the dumbass things to attack, our desire to get off in the comfort of our own homes in private has to be the stupidest fight to engage. Fuck it, I'll start mailing porn to right-wingers en masse.

Porn is the smelly glue that holds the internet together. You have to completely destroy the internet to get rid of the porn.

Gigachads going to have to start boning congresspeople's spouses and releasing the videos.

Or even better: congresspeople's spouses film them wanking to porn and releasing those videos.
