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!

Performing in Los Angeles, the singer encouraged US citizens to ‘get out and vote’ – and played rarely heard political songs such as Dog Eat Dog

Joni Mitchell has made her voice heard in the upcoming US election, responding: “Fuck Donald Trump!” to an audience member who yelled an insult about the Republican presidential candidate.

“I love that song,” Mitchell continued – presumably a reference to the 2016 YG song FDT.

Performing her first headline concert in Los Angeles in 24 years on Saturday, Mitchell, 80, said: “Everybody get out and vote. This is an important one. I wish I could vote – I’m Canadian. I’m one of those lousy immigrants.”

Joni Mitchell lets rip at Donald Trump

The title of this article makes it sound like she farted at Trump.

Joni Mitchell:

She let it rip, all right.

As a Canadian, I'm happy that Joni is there to encourage everyone .... and as someone with many French Canadian family and friends ... to my American republican neighbours ->

"I wave my private parts at your aunties, you cheesy lot of second hand electric donkey bottom biters. Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!"

.... and to my American democratic neighbours ->

"I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly American?"

Joni once let drop that all Janis Joplin and Grace Slick did was sleep with the band, get drunk and fall down.

To which Grace responded..."I don't remember falling down that much"

Oh, shit, Joni Mitchell is still alive?

She had a stroke in 2015, but, through the encouragement and support of her friends in the music community, she recovered enough to do occasional live performances again by 2022. The recording of that live set won a Grammy.
