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!

Does he so desperately want to look at porn that he needs this? How about will power?
Who the fuck are these people.
Penn Jillette said it best. Paraphrasing: "I rape and kill and murder everyone I want to, and that number is zero. Why the fuck isn't your number zero???"
Basic training circa '96, and I get outed as an atheist. Heard exactly this from more than one person.
It is really scary thinking how many people are held in check by the thin veil of mythology.
I cannot imagine being so pathetic that I need a subscription to help me not watch porn. But even if I were, how hard is it to just set up parental security password, and ask someone else to set it for you so you don't know what the password is. What a moron.
I suspect it's more about virtue signaling. It's not that he needs people to keep him from watching porn. He needs people to know that he's not watching porn.
Id bet hes got a financial stake in it, or at least is scratching someones back who does.
A grifting Republican?! Inconceivable!
Imagine thinking "porn addiction" is a real thing and not something Jordan Peterson made up to sell transphobia to incels
I'm sure it is a real thing, literally everything can become an addiction if you consistently feed the wrong patterns to your brain.
It's not an addiction, it's min-maxing value! Times are tough!
Actual psychopaths.
sounds like a publicity stunt gone wrong
