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!

Wait until they Google "bilateral gynandromorphism".

Bold of you to assume that they can spell either to a close enough approximation that the Google suggestion is correct..

I was told that all these things happen because Eve ate the forbidden fruit and doomed the world to fall into sin. I guess that is why they hate women so much.

Also, I am glad to hear about another interesting documentary. I'm going to add this to my watch list.

Lazy reporting. Three comments on X is not a freak out. What happened to journalism? When did it become copying and pasting comments from social media?

We will soon have churches for animals that also can operate without taxes

Learning and incorporating new information aren’t really their strong suits.

yawn... why do we still sit around and talk in flabbergasted bewilderment about how dumb conservatives are? WE KNOW THEY'RE FUCKING IDIOTS. the question is 'what are we going to do about it?' - continue to let them have a say in democracy?

say what you want about them but they're doing a pretty good job of forcing their agenda on US because most of YOU are too chickenshit to do anything to stop them.
