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!

It’s going to get so much worse. “Joe and his ho” and “Kameltoe Harris” were very common things I’ve heard in the south.

Surprising nobody

lol come on guys that’s so lazy. Like sure, it’s offensive, but I’m sure she’s genuinely more entertained by the fact that she’s living rent-free in the heads of the racist and sexist portion of America.

And I would like to add: fuck you, trumpians. I am fucking enjoying having the shoe on the other foot. We’ll still give you hurricane repair money or whatever, but I am LOVING that you’re getting even a fraction of what the rest of the country and the world experienced for four fucking years.

Matt Walsh of all people calling someone a "thoroughly unimpressive human being" is so jarringly ironic it's hard to process

Sigh. My state sucks.

At least they are finally being honest about what they are.

So much for that unity message, huh?

But seriously, I think they just call every woman a whore that has any sort of power or station in life because they have zero respect for women. It's not that they think all women are whores, its that they don't thin women have any intelligence or skills and so to become someone with that kind of power, they must just be sleeping their way to the top. How else could they get that job/position?

having to disgorge years worth of hate in such a short time is surely going to overheat the GOP hate machine. just have to hope no one is in the blast radius when it explodes.

You missed a great chance for an overhating pun.

LOL, bound to happen. They will continue to lose their MINDS if she is in the general. Unhinged. I just hope not many normies fall for the bothsiderist bullshit we are bound to see from the "liberal media" - the same shit they did on Hillary - "many people are saying" that she's shrill, entitled, she cackles, and other such nonsense so they can appear "balanced" when the alternative is a fascist poised to end freedom of speech by the very same media...
