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!

What are you saying, here? Are you accusing Trump of pushing propaganda? Or CNN? Or me? Be specific about your accusation.
Yeah this guy posts nonstop far right drivel. Don't waste your time
The headline is propoganda.
Watch the video. Trump weasels out, yet again.
"Did you think the election was rigged? Your call on that?"
"Yes."
That's it, that's the whole story. Backing up the truck could only hurt him at this point. And then they explain why Trump's statements are a nothing burger.
To be clear, Trump said nothing about "overturning the results", he merely admitted he thought they were fake. We already knew that.
There is a mountain of evidence to nail this man to the wall, and then shoot him. This is not part of that.
If the man had any brains, he'd realize he's in seriously deep shit and go hide in a cave. Yet somehow, he's still talking, and somehow creating sentences in English that have no meaning. If I had a dram of love for this fool, it would be for that.
I don't understand why you are being down voted for this, other than people seem to really think this was somehow an admission of guilt and now he's going to jail.
I wish it was possible to discuss the actual nuances of this without being down voted, but anything beyond TRUMP BAD! gets ignored.
Somehow this place is seeming worse than reddit for that sort of thing.
I mean we can start posting propaganda of your liking, sweetie. Would you prefer RT or Breitbart? Or do we need to read your propaganda aloud because big words scare you?
Propaganda is a pretty big word. Think they had someone hold their hand as they typed it out?
The more I observe social media the more it looks like MSM (including "leftist" channels) seen to render more conservative image than it really is. For example pretty much all the conservative subreddits end up blocking speaking unless the person was first vetted by mods and got tagged.
You see for example comments about r/politics brigading r/Conservative yet when it happens the other way it is barely noticeable.
To me it is clear that MSM over represents the conservative population and creates illusion that divide is 50/50.
That's why I put it in quotes.
