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!

Kavenaugh was appointed by Trump, and the Trump WH protected him from an FBI investigation after the whopping 4k+ tips started rolling in.
He probably shouldnt be part of this ruling… him, the other Trump appointed peeps, and Thomas (who really should just resign,)
He also committed perjury when he lied about squirting beer up his ass. That's an objective fact about a sitting Supreme Court Justice. Brettt Kavanaugh committed perjury when he lied about squirting beer up his ass.
He also probably sexually assaulted a woman, but we don't know that with absolute certainty. We do know with absolute certainty that he squirted beer up his ass and then lied about it under oath in front of Congress while being interviewed for the job as the highest arbiter of law.
What we do know is Brock Allen Turner raped an unconscious woman behind a dumpster, was only sentenced to 6 months in prison, and was released after 3 fro good behavior. This is a huge case of white, moneyed privilege. Brock Allen Turner is a rapist and should never be allowed to hold a job in the United States.
Oh hey, are you talking about Rapist Brock Allen Turner who has been going by his middle name lately, Rapist Allen Turner?
🤣🤣🤣
I mean, I'd lie about that too.
I understand why he lied. It's embarrassing, but he was under oath. He swore to God and Country, under penalty of perjury, in front of Congress and the American people, in order to be considered for a position as a Supreme Court Justice, that he wasn't lying. And then he lied.
And everyone knew he was lying. That's what gets me. He committed perjury on camera and nobody called him on it. Everyone just shrugged and moved on, like it didn't matter. Because it didn't matter.
It doesn't matter if the justices are the best, most trustworthy, most honest, most qualified for the job. That's not what matters. What matters is that he will do what he is told, will rule on the cases in a predictable way, and that he will live a very long life. That's why he's sitting on the highest court in the country. Because he's a stooge. He'll lie when it's convenient, he'll hide the truth when it's politically expedient, he'll stretch credibility to get what he wants, and he'll do it for the people paying him, too.
The court is a fraud, and there is no justice.
