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!

He's going for the juggalo vote now?

ICP admitted they don't know, and had no interest in learning because they're happy considering stuff like magnets and basic genetics as "magic"

trump doesn't know, assumes he does, and claims he has intrinsic scientific knowledge because an uncle worked at MIT.

This is probably the only time it'll be remotely relevant so I'm gonna shoehorn in this 49 minute video of a man debunking the ICP song miracles verse by verse. It's truly one of the videos of all time

It is definitely one of the videos

I absolutely love that someone put in this kind of effort for this. This speaks to me.

Thank you for sharing.

Actually the specific reason cited for not talking to scientists is that "y'all motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissed"

But you have to admit, his knowledge about nukes is astounding!

Also, geography!

At least ICP had enough humility to admit they didn’t know how magnets work.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

America has the best magnets. Beautiful magnets. Beautiful American magnets.

Everyone knows lying Joe Biden is weak on magnets. Not me. Everyone who works on magnets knows that you want Trump for strong magnets.

When I was president, magnets were never stronger. I cracked down on the border, windmills, and we had the greatest magnets the world has ever seen.

Gravity to magnet: "Let's see you try that across the entire galaxy."
