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!

Everyone leaving apathetic comments, this shit should infuriate you. We have an extremist as our speaker who would tear down the walls of equality and use the material to build god a throne in our capital. We should be offering two options; The voluntary removal of christian extremists from our government or a forceful removal. You do not hand the biggest stick in the world to people who are itching to swing it.
I'm tired of being angry, fatigued with fury. It hasn't gotten me anything to hold on the to the heat behind my passion. It can burn you out inside.
You can still maintain resolve without kindling your hate and ire. It also allows you to look beyond the passionate reactionism to find realistic and functional solutions to problems.
The Twelve Labors of Heracles is a great tale, and illustrates the importance of controlling your emotions instead of casting them aside. You need your anger, use it, don't extinguish it. These injustices should fill you with fire. Being angry is the first step in taking action, it is when we lose control of this anger that our goals are never realized.
Have fun storming the ~~castle~~ capitol.
Or we could use this anger to pool enough people together to petition for a scathing piece of legislature, with the riot in our back pocket as an alternative to peaceful resolution.
Unless you got more money than lobbyists...
My dude you know how leftist riots turn out. At least wear eye protection for the gas and rubber bullets.
Or we could rely on something other than reactionism so that we do something meaningful, instead of relying on pure emotion.
Fire consumes, it can be harnessed and utilized... but it is inherently destructive, not creative.
Dude didn't even read what I said about controlling emotions higher up in the chain. Go read the Twelve Labors of Heracles instead of this reactionist hypocrisy.
