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!

Something awful must have happened to you as a child to refer to an old lady you’ve never met that way. IDGAF about politics. Have some respect for your damned self.
No reason to respect anyone who hasn't earned that respect. Age has nothing to do with it.
I’m saying respect yourself and show some fucking decency. This ain’t about anyone but you. Hold yourself to a higher standard.
You edited your comment after I replied
Bro you're not even responding to the person who said the original comment that you were responding to. She was a cunt don't let her age make her into a saint in your eyes. She was a greedy self-serving cunt her entire adult life. To show her respect is to kneel and submit to this bullshit continuing for another 90 years.
I’m sorry, is it particularly stupid in here today?
It doesn’t matter what she was.
You are disrespecting yourself AND degrading your point of view.
How about instead of ranting like an imbecile you pop down a couple of bullet points enlightening us as to this woman’s shortcomings?
This is a discusssion forum. “She’s a cunt.” gets us nowhere.
Why is this a controversial thing for me to point out?
Ok I agree it doesn't matter what she was. You defended her and said we disrespect ourselves for calling an "old lady a cunt". Which is it? Is it not ok to call a cunt a cunt because they're old? Just because you don't like the language we choose to use to describe this person doesn't put you on a moral high ground. I think she was a cunt care to discuss otherwise? No? Then kindly fuck off 👌
You’re so ornery you’re failing to read properly.
My ENTIRE assertion is that it’s isn’t decent to refer to an elder person person who has passed away in this fashion. Not that she deserves respect but rather that one should respect ones self by behaving in a nobler manner, at least nobler than this.
Pointless to keep arguing with children though.
Good day.
And you are raising your nose over my whole point. Fuck respecting elders for being old, most old people sure when you're talking about normal people but when it comes to these leaches on society they don't get a pass just because they are dinosaurs, their age and the fact they stay in office til the day they croak is half the god damn problem and your sticking your nose up at the language people choose to use. We are fucking fed up and you are a concern troll.
Have a day. Or don't idgaf.
Fuckity fuck fuck fuck fuck.
I said good day.
Yet you came back to have the last word. 🤡🧌
