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!

If you could only touch those soft, crinkled lips, you would show them the meaning of betrayal, of the harsh twist of deception knotted tight around the heart. But as you reach out, fingers trembling with the weight of your resolve, the air shivers with a chill unaccounted for by the season. A mist rises from the ground, wrapping the city council chambers in an eerie embrace. In that thickening fog, figures begin to distort, reality bending at the edges of your vision. The councilperson, once so solid and sure, flickers like a flame under a draftsman’s breath, revealing a glimpse of something ancient, something deep and serpentine lurking beneath. You blink, and in that fraction of a second, the scene shifts. Now, standing by the council dais, is no longer the elected official but an immense creature from the depths of legend: the Loch Ness Monster. You stagger back, disbelief rooting you to the spot as the creature's eyes meet yours, wise and deep as the very lake it calls home. With a voice that rumbles like the rolling highland hills, it speaks, its tone oddly plaintive, 'I need about tree fiddy.'
