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!

So make a fucking Nazi joke instead.
Any pretense of respect for disabled people leaving lemmings's bodies when they see a disabled person they don't like
I'll do both. Dude's a crippled Nazi that can't stand up for himself, and is running Texas into the dirt. Unfortunately, he's shown that he can roll with the punches.
So what have disabled people done to deserve ridicule from you?
I'm not taking shots at disabled people, just the one right now. I have shadenfreude from Paxton not being able to walk. If someone else that takes that as an insult, that sucks for them. If Paxton fell out of his chair and couldn't get up, and I was the only person around that could help, I'd laugh at him, tell him this is karma, and skip away, because I can.
You're telling all the disabled people here that their condition is something worth mocking. The fact that you are doing it to someone who's also shitty doesn't change that. It's no different than fatshaming trump or being racist towards candace owens, make fun of them for shit that's actually bad and doesn't let people know you're a bigot
Cool, glad you're open and honest about being a pile of shit, makes you easier to not step in
Oh great, we've reached the casually throwing around slurs part of this productive conversation. Really showed everyone that it's just this one guy you don't respect.
I have a cousin in an electric wheelchair, she'll never not be in one. She intentionally runs into people on the street just so the normies apologize to her out of a misplaced sense of fault. She thinks it's fucking hilarious. If she has that good of a sense of humor, why can't you?
I didn't know you were the spokesman of all people with disability. Keep up the good work o7
He's got a disabled ~~friend~~ cousin you see.
I don't recall saying that, but thanks for the confidence in my abilities!
we are on the verge of civil war, a world-killing environmental crisis, and the return of fascism. your petty social justice concerns over words do not matter. take a back seat, kid.
Yep, there's bad things happening, therefore bigotry is ok. You sound like a fucking republican
punks like you aren't going to win the war if you're worried about hurting somebody's feelings. we've got bigger issues to deal with. take a back seat, kid.
"take a back seat, kid" you think you sound so tough it's adorable xD you're not even clever enough for a second line lmao
i am tough. you should be too. limp-wristed liberals aren't going to accomplish shit. we need more armed leftists.
Yup, truly nothing is tougher than getting your panties in a bunch when people ask you to be more polite (aka not a blatant fucking bigot). You're not a leftist, you're a republican gun humping larper in an ushanka x3
i'm completely calm. i'm just letting you know that IRL, you WOULD show me respect.
Nah, I'd giggle at you because you're a silly goober :3
Holy shit you're insecure xD what are you gonna do with my address? You gonna make me take a back seat, kid?
fafo kid
You are just too much x3 I haven't gotten this good a laugh out of an internet though guy in a long time, thanks a lot, it genuinely makes me feel better :3
I literally LOLed when they said they'd be respected IRL.
you can hide behind your coy, calmer-than-you-are internet BS, but we both know the truth - IRL you are a feckless little man that would submit in a heartbeat.
i-i'll submit to you m-masterblaster senpai uwuwuwuwu
Also not a man, try again :3
I would suggest both of you @[email protected] and @[email protected] , to stop mocking each other.
Just let the other be and dont interact anymore if it gets too bad.
Or i will have to timeout both of you of this community.
Will do friend 🌸 sorry if I was breaking a rule without realizing
No worries, but we dont want to get this conversation escalated to the point where one of you does something rule breaking. Thanks for considering it.
my apologies then.
😬
