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 know what will help, I will not vote in protest! (/s)
You could vote for RFK because he's totally got a chance to win and isn't a weirdo conspiracy theorist at all! (Also /s)
We are on the path from ruin to annihilation.
We're on a road to nowhere Come on inside Takin' that ride to nowhere We'll take that ride
There is a time and a place for David Byrne and the Talking Heads, but this isn’t it.

Welcome to the Republic of Gilead.
Yeah and we can all see it, and the fact that precisely zero appellate courts are proactively eviscerating any rulings with that sort of shit attached to it is fucking appalling.
I didn’t actually expect the Handmaids Tale to be the successful dystopian future.
You haven't been paying attention then.
Christianity, the mental illness everyone ignores.
Religion in general. You need to ignore logic to be religious and that is a dangerous precedent.
Worse, you need to literally deny actual reality and instead believe that magic is real. What could possible go wrong?
It makes me feel crazy that I’m just supposed to accept religion as normal and that naturally it’s protected by law.
And accept a sort of ruler that decides quite literally everything.
How unsurprising that every narcissist power hungry evil person want's to be in "gods" place.
sneaking, the same way a toddler just closes their eyes during hide-and-seek and they think they are hiding.
What I find most comical about this situation is just how little Trump actually cares about Christianity, yet his base completely ignores his track record. He'll sell Bibles because it makes him money. He'll do the Christian dance just as much as what is needed to fool his base into thinking that's a part of his moral compass.
Power and money is what drives that man, and everything else is an illusion to gain the first two.
Weird how they never quote the beatitudes.
Only surprised they're being sneaky about adding in Bible passages
Sneaking is doing some heavy lifting in that title.
