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!

Weird christian shame shit aside, here's a nice security concern to top it off:
“A US Congressman is allowing a 3rd Party tech company to scan ALL of his electronic devices daily and then uploading reports to his son about what he’s watching or not watching….,” Receipt Maven wrote. “I mean, who else is accessing that data?”
You'd think this obvious hole in cybersecurity would be a big deal to the "but her emails" types, if they had absolutely any moral consistency
the 3rd party tech company maybe? or the people they sell the data off to?
Mike Johnson goes to the doctor for a checkup.
Doctor says, "Mr. Speaker, you've got to stop masturbating."
Johnson says, "Why?"
Doctor says, "So I can examine you."
If my parent asked me to monitor their porn intake I’d tell them to talk to a clinical sexologist because what the actual fuck‽ And if they asked about mine I’d honestly be concerned that there’s something incestous there.
Like I’m super pro sex ed and parent-child communication on such things. But there are things that you’d like to keep private from that relationship unless it’s important. I’m so grateful I don’t know anything about my parents’ masturbation habits
Thank you for using the "interrobang" you classy human ❤️
Is that one of Mike Johnson’s favorite porn categories?
I set up my phone to auto-correct "?!" to the interrobang. That makes it so much easier to remember it's there!
Is there anything not weird about this guy?
What's weird about notifying your kid when you beat off?
Preventing this is the future liberals want.
This is not a joke, although I'm laughing pretty hard
$17 dollars a MONTH lmfao maybe I'll slap together some shitty malware-as-a-service and charge saps 12 instead lolol
(sigh)

I'm gonna go ahead and say it....white evangelical people are fucking creepy and not normal. AND YES, I will generalize with these fucks.
I did not need to know that. Thanks Rolling Stone.
That is so psychopathic. The GOP are a bunch of sick mofos.
Knew before I read the article that it was gonna be Covenant Eyes. Aka the same software "monitoring" Josh Duggar, that he got around with a partition. Super effective stuff. I'm guessing about 90% of fundie men that use it also have partitions, because you don't pay for software to monitor your every move unless you know you're not able/willing to control yourself.
Huh? That's so ridiculous it can't possibly be true.
Can we get another source?
Edit: yeah. This is also reported by plenty of other sources.
If you read the article, they link to a tweet where he discusses it at length on video.
You probably already know this, but you need to keep a lookout for where the articles are actually sourced from. Just because multiple sources are reporting on something could simply mean they are affiliated outlets publishing the same story from the same original author.
This saves time for affiliate outlets, but it's a practice that is vulnerable to the rapid spread of misreporting or intentional misinformation.
Man, evangelicals are weird.
The real problem is people that should be our leaders don't want anything to do with all the bullshit involved with politics. So we end up with weirdos and crazies instead.
I just tilted my head to the side in confusion a full 90 degrees.
xantoxis's chiropractor liked this comment
This guy looks like an AI generated cunt.
He looks a bitmoji of a possessed marionette.
On the one hand that's weird.
On the other hand, for a Republican these days maybe not that weird.
Call me when the inevitable mutual masturbation video surfaces.
There's a lot to unpack here and I'm not sure I want to.
I mean, there's endless trolling material there.
A lovely father son ~~bondage~~ bonding moment.
…what the fuck.
