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!

Waiting for all the Maga folks to fall over each other in their rush to wish Biden well…

Just had dinner with in-laws who were laughing and hoping he dies.

They can wish that I guess, but a state funeral "trumps" a failed assassination like 9 times out of 10. Kicking it in office of natural causes is some FDR shit.

According to Forbes "Top 15 ways Presidents and Former Presidents can die in or out of office (NUMBER ONE WILL SHOCK YOU): Assassination is not quite as tight-sick-gnarly as natural causes.

I bet they would've been furious if you made a joke about Trumps mosquito bite

Isn't that the truth. These people have such a double standard. Especially when it comes to their Dear Leader that almost no one else respects at all, but they think everyone should be forced to worship.

I swear that if donnie published on his stupid troof sohshul that Dear Leader does not actually poop and that he gets at least one hole in one per game of golf, that his supporters would all defend this new "truth".

Yup. I saw a magabrain shortly after the shooting, and he was deathly serious like he just heard about the death of a relative: "did you hear about the shooting?"

Meanwhile, this same guy thought the hammering of Pelosi's husband was HILARIOUS.

You should hold your breath, it probably won't be too long.
