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!

I mean maybe? Or maybe it's also true that people have lives apart from their public personas, and qualities that only their loved ones get to see.
Having private, nice qualities in addition to those above in no way minimizes any of those above. "That's a deal breaker" -Liz Lemon
I never meant to imply that it did. But humans are complex creatures, and our relationships doubly so.
You don’t have a brain worm, collect road kill and fuck your tonsils up to be or remotely even sound normal. I mean it’s a marriage. You marry that shit??? red flag.
Name the number of folks you know who chain sawed off a whale’s head and mounted it on your car for kicks????
Your version of normal???
Edit to add: I have no idea why he sounds as fucked up as he does. I only mention his tonsils because he sounds like a 100 year old smoker who still doesn’t see the error of their ways.
Nobody ever said he was normal. Shit, he's a fucking Kennedy. Could there be a bigger red flag than that?
I'm just beyond throwing everyone connected to him into the same category. People marry and stay married for lots of reasons. It's gotten so fucking tedious the way we try to put everyone and everything in one box or another, without any way of actually knowing what's really inside of them.
