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!

Don't speak about patriotic heroes like that.
Do you call everyone who fought in 4th of july a bastard and mental too? Your ancestors who gave you the freedom you have right now? He did what most of us don't have the balls to do. That is not sickness, it's bravery.
People should really drop the whole "violence scawy" bullshit already, this is why a lot of innocent people are dying in really dumb ways nowadays, like for being gay or being black and nothing else
Fought in 4th of July?
They were launching Roman candles at each other. It was a whole thing.
Yes dude, the peak and culmination of your Revolutionary War that ended with thousands of american lives lost just so that you could disrespect them like you are right now
Ok, just checking that it was indeed you not having any idea what you are talking about. The 4th was neither a peak of the war or a culmination of said war. Also, your phrasing of "...who fought in the 4th of July" is just ridiculous and not how anyone would say that. You would say "...who fought in the Revolutionary War". Your point would still be absurd and wrong, but it would at least sound like a human wrote it.
I love you, Salami Navy. Chef's kiss. 😘
