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!

Yes. Anyone with a mustache is obviously a mass-murderer.
Uncle Joe, yes of course. John is just Lurch in a Joe Stalin costume.
What people look like is definitely a statement on their character. You can always judge a book by its cover, as they say.
absolutely, you only have one chance at a first impression.
You're seriously saying you can judge a book by its cover?
Of course. As I said, you only have one chance for a first impression.
You seem to be badly misunderstanding this expression. Just because, once one has made a first impression, they cannot change that first impression (any more than we can change any other historical event), does not mean that the impression is accurate. That's really the entire point of the expression - that, if you aren't careful about your first impression, you may be judged unfairly, by people who are not wise enough to look deeper. Using that as justification for refusing to look deeper is absurd.
I know exactly what it means, just like yes you can judge a book by it's cover. That doesn't mean it's a correct judgement, but it certainly means the author/publisher needs to present an attractive cover.
Lmao wow
So don't trust these guys, right?

I wouldn't.
So who do you trust exactly? Danny Masterson? He looks like a fine, upstanding individual.
My wife, my parents, various other people I personally know to various extents. But never any politicians or celebrities, or social media power users.
You trusted your parents the first time you saw them? Are you absolutely sure of that? Do you remember?
yep. Not that I had much choice on that one.
You're saying you remember it? You're really claiming that?
sure. once my eyes adjusted of course. living your whole life in the dark and then being pushed into the light is quite a shock.
You're just lying now. What a weird thing to lie about.
of course I am you Fetterman.
And now you're not even writing in English.
