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!

The authority on blackness is... checks notes... Anne Coulter.... Hmm. Hey conservative media, could you not even find a token black conservative to make this stupid argument? Or did you fire them all as DEI hires?

Well, while we are at it, Annie. Pray tell. Are you under the impression that Black folks are native to Jamaica and that they aren't the descendents of Africans brought to the America's in the slave trade, just like those in the US? Are you not also aware that Jim Crow laws and other forms of racial discrimination do NOT discriminate on whether your ancestors were slaves, but only on your skin color and other racial features? Did you know that both black and non-black immigrants and children of immigrants face prejudice and discrimination? Did you know that Affirmative Action wasn't about apologizing for slavery but a means to correct ongoing discrimination in education and hiring over a century after emancipation in the US, and that it wasnt limited to just black people or non-white people as a single unit? Did you know that you are a moronic hateful emaciated scarecrow woman who shouldn't have a so much as a letter to the editor published, let alone a constant national platform? Did you know that Anne?

If you google "token female black conservative", you get the perfect match: Candace Owens.

For anti-semitism, because conservativism just keeps turning people into Nazis for some reason!
