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!

Yeah, but it's not like the GOP would knowingly and repeatedly lie to advance their own causes. Wait, I'm being handed a note, hold on.
Mmhmm, I see.
So, it seems that is, in fact, pretty much their entire playbook. Sorry for the mistake.
All the GOP does is lie. That is what they have to offer.
Yeah but what about migrant murder? It's a whole new type of murder no one's ever heard of before!
At levels no one has seen!
Of course it did... Murders started creeping up in 2019, you know, when Trump was President:

Up again in 2020, despite the pandemic, again, when Trump was President.
"The U.S. murder rate rose 30% between 2019 and 2020 – the largest single-year increase in more than a century"
And 2021, + another 5% on top of the +30%.

And down slightly in 2022.

Of course it went down in 2023, we're still recovering from the pre and post covid spike.
Fake crimes like pet abduction/consumption are way way up, though.
And voter fraud, don't forget that one! I heard over 40 billion illegal immigrants voted in California elections this year!
Yet killings by police went up.
