Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

They’re very busy destroying democracy. Well, most of them are, anyhow.

Stockton Rush shoulda taken all these bitches on a submarine trip

Reddit would ban you for that comment, despite the fact that it’s literally true.

Aw I didn't mean anything bad by it. I know the Supreme Court loves accepting gifts. And what's a better gift than a free ride in a cool submarine to go see the Titanic?

Great explanation. You really crushed it

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You know how it goes. Sometimes you just gotta let it rip.

Would be a shame if they were pressured into a permanent submarine vacation...

can I just say... I can't imagine a worse death than being stuck in a giant fleshlight-shaped tube with Barret, Thomas, the beer guy... Alito and ...uh... the others while descending into the abyss only for it to get wrecked....?

Like. there's more painful, and far less sudden ways to actually die. But those last moments? absolute hell.

Well, the moments before then would probably suck too since Clarence Thomas looks like a guy who farts a lot. Not only that, but I bet they are probably filthy nasty vile farts too.

I mean if they didn't take it the seat would just be empty anyway so it's not like it's worth any money

The supreme corrupt. The headline misspelled corrupt.
