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!

All the pitbulls I know are owned by white people. I still want that shit breed banned.
It's not about race, pitbulls are shit dogs and should no longer be bred.
You seem like a shit person to be totally honest. Pretty much everyone I know did a book report on this subject in the 5th grade and realize how fucking dumb breed restrictions were. I guess you were sick that day.
Because I think the breed responsible for the vast majority of fatal dog attacks is a shit breed?
I think you're a shit person for supporting such a shit breed.
No it's because you never learned to read, if you had, you'd know how stupid you sound talking about dog bite statistics when in over half of all reported cases the breed is unknown, and in the less than half of cases that the breed is reported, it is self reported by people who are not trained to make visual identifications of dog breeds, and even the people who are trained usually get it wrong, because dog breeds usually cannot be identified visually with any sort of accuracy. So you see, you're an abject moron who obviously cannot read.
Nope, that's just the pitbull propaganda trying to make the shit breed look better.
Pits were bred to fight and kill other dogs. They are aggressive terriers with a strong prey drive, and they have the physical strength to kill people. That is a bad, and dangerous combination, and the shit breed needs to be done away with.
