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!

Trump will reverse it, DON'T LET HIM WIN!
Okay, folks, listen, listen, it’s, it’s very simple, okay? People are talking, they're saying, 'Mr. Trump, the murder rate, it's too low, it’s not what it used to be.' And you know what? I agree. We used to have, back in the day — oh, the 70s, maybe the 80s, beautiful times, really tremendous times — we had so much, so much happening, people, and now… now, it's just… nothing! Boring! What happened? Where did the murders go? I don’t know. Nobody knows. But when I'm elected, folks, let me tell you, we’re gonna bring them back. Big time.
Now, now, people say, 'Oh, Mr. Trump, why do you want more murders?' And let me tell you something: it's about jobs, okay? People don't think about that. Murders? They need investigation. Cops? Gotta hire more cops. Jobs! Economy! It's all connected, folks. Big brain stuff. Nobody thinks like me. And, and the murderers, some of them, very fine people, they need work too. They’re out of work. We’re gonna put 'em back in business, folks. You’ll see.
So vote for me, we’re gonna do some, some tremendous things. More murders, more greatness, everyone wins. Except the people who get, uh, you know, but that’s okay, that’s okay. It'll be, um, it'll be something.
So when you go to vote, remember: a vote for me is a vote for… well, let’s just say you’ll want to lock your doors. But it’ll be huge.
Thank you, good night, and God bless hamburgers!
6/10, points lost because I was still able to follow the thread
Yeah they didn't do "the weave" but that's okay most of us lack the brain power to do so
