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!

This is such a thumbnail lol
I hope religion continues its slow death in America. Forcing your beliefs on people doesn’t help.
It's not actually about religion at all anymore.
I was an agnostic when I was 12-years-old. "Christians" have made me an atheist.
Maybe that's their goal. Playing 5-D checkers there.
Can we start putting quotes around the word christians when they so clearly don't give the slightest bit of a fuck about the teachings of christ?
I grew up in a country with over 90% Christian population in the 80s and 90s. The way the average person in my country would have answered if asked what religions are there would be: Catholic and Orthodox. Any other Christian denomination was clumped under either "sectarians" or "heretics" (and of course non-Christians were just "pagans"). Nobody in my country considered these American churches to count as actual Christians.
And even though I personally grew up as an atheist and spent every single religion class (yeah, that was a mandatory subject in our schools) debating the existence of God with my teachers, I still cringe and resent seeing these people called "Christians".
Makes sense to me. If you lack the critical thinking skills to see the contradictions in the fairy tales the Bible serves up, you're likely to miss the fact that the guy paying lip service to 'Christian values' is the antithesis to said values.
"...but he's white and he sells a bible?" - xtian nationalists
It's really disappointing that so many "Christians" are blind to the fact that Trump fits many of the descriptors for the Antichrist. He may not be the definitive article (he doesn't quite match everything), but is definitely one of those false prophets the Bible specifically warns Christians to look out for. They are ignorant of what the Bible says and the values it actually stands for.
Problem is that almost all people who rise to power fit the description, more or less. What's more disappointing to me ia that evangelicals are willing to completely undermine their own Christian witness by submitting to a leader who is, literally, the exact opposite of what they otherwise preach when they choose a leader, all for a few pieces of political red meat. I can't take anything they say seriously.
all for ~~a few~~ 30 pieces of ~~political red meat~~ silver
FTFY
I can’t take anything they say seriously.
They have never given a good reason to be taken seriously.
The book of revelation talks about a flock mislead. That gods followers will be mislead by a false prophet.
It's because those motherfuckers desperately want to meet God and believe Trump is their fastpass to heaven.
Yeah, because all these dumbasses are upset that their numbers are dwindling and want to force people to be in their silly little book club, against their will, and against the Constitution.
