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!

Couch fucker voters will most certainly not hold him accountable. That's one demographic J.D. has in the bag.
The problem is that a Republicans own significantly more guns, and most times better guns than what's available in Democrat run states.
They may have more guns, but they have about the same number of trigger fingers. Gun ownership by the right is badly skewed by looks like this. One guy with sixty guns is really no better armed than a guy with one gun.
Imagine spending all this money on guns while you're a grown ass-couple still sleeping in a full.
Spent all their money on guns and fake tits. Not enough left for a bed that fits two people.
My first thought was “my gawd there’s no way my partner and I would fit on that tiny bed”
My second was “oh jeebus, that’s a look”
third was “why are all the guns on the floor”
Guns, and each boob the size of her head
Is there any particular reason every single gun is aimed vaguely in the direction of those two kids? It somehow makes it look extra tone deaf.
Now how many of those have been fired in the last 2 years, and how many rounds have they put through them...
Wow, so gross. These people are morons.
That's because the "arming myself to take back my country from leftists" is just them blowing hot air.
They buy lots of guns because someone told them Obama or Biden wants to take away their right to buy guns, so they spend their whole savings on them thinking that they're beating the system...
In many cases, it's a matter of being so fucking scared of the world (common amongst Fox News and other RW media consumers) that the only way they can be comfortable is within arms reach of a gun.
The vast majority of Conservatives don't have the guts to actually take action with their guns, because most of them bought them out of fear of bodily injury, not to enter battle and put their own skin in the game.
The few extremists that actually want to start a civil war are mostly morons with no training who won't accomplish anything but a handful of disorganized mass shootings that will actually freak out everyone else, including other gun owners.
This dumb take again I see...
I hear that the average conservative militia has trained extensively in the military art of ~~marching in formation~~ ~~marching~~ walking down the street. Some of them even bought a box of green tip right off the store shelf.
every single time the american military has been kicked to shit it's been by barefoot peasants with rifles old enough to retire, and never enough of them to arm every soldier.
Hate to break it to you, but you literally just described the entire state of West Virginia, Idaho, both Dakotas, Missouri, Louisiana, most of Florida, Oklahoma, and parts of fucking Oregon.
They can own all the fucken guns they want if ya aint got anyone to use em then they are just mechanically impressive paper weights.
Shut up.
