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!

If they're trying to sweep this under the rug, I do not wanna know what JD Vance did to that rug...

Denial, can we ask Matt Gaetz which stage of grief this is?

The best part is everyone except the right wing idiots knows it's just a joke, but they are getting so upset over it.

No talk, only segs.

Of course not, they think couches are pornographic.

If they were "smart" they'd be their usual disgusting selves and turn it on us. "Oh these people are rich: they want men to have sex with men, women to have sex with men that are now women? They want to have sex with human-animals(furries), but the couch is where they draw the line!? Talk about hypocrite Democrats, but what else is new!?"

Ok, what should we talk about instead? Epstein's lists? Project 2025? Whether "I own the place" is a good reason to waltz in to a room that was supposed to give young girls privacy for changing? How much one should expect to pay to silence a porn star? Why regular Trump supporters should think he gives a single fuck about them when so many of the ones he selected to be a part of his administration ended up in prison when he could have pardoned them? Why he keeps bragging about passing a test that included tough questions like "identify this common object" and "what is your name?"? Whether he thinks his secret service agents gave the shooter some free shots deliberately because they secretly can't stand him either and intend to push the idea of reasonable doubt as far as Trump himself does?
