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!

Credible? No:
Other sources have been saying the same for a couple weeks, but no, nothing credible.
An audio recording from an Israeli HUMINT division, the kind that exists to create and spread propaganda. Reminds me of the recording the IDF released of Hamas members admitting the hospital strike was their own, which according to many impartial people featured them speaking the wrong dialect and in the wrong accent.
🤷
All photos, videos, audio recordings, and testimonies, can be faked, manipulated or be a lie. What's "credible" at this point?
Some outlets published a video of that missile, with a trail coming from inside Gaza. Some have published the IDF's photos with missile trajectories on them. Some have shown air photos of cars blocking the road "from North to South" Gaza. Some have published videos of missile impacts in the South. Some people have claimed to have gone South, only to get bombed and run back North.
This is war.
In the Ukrainian war, we still don't have a credible source as to who blew up Nord Stream, and that's been over a year ago already.
Supposedly it was done by pro-Ukrainian forces, not specifically Ukraine themselves but possibly some mercenary group, possibly even the US. It's kind of been brushed under the rug as otherwise it would damage support for Ukraine.
