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!

Look, I'm just glad HBO let's it happen. Fucking Apple got their panties in a knot when Stewart just said words.
This is a topic that Apple probably wouldn’t have cared about. Stewart had a lot of episodes about terrible people in American government.
The rumored problem with The Problem is that he wanted to start tackling topics like China and AI. In the China example, Apple was probably terrified that China would do what they’ve done to every other media company that talk shit about the CCP. China halts sales of their products.
All in all, it’s not the words, it’s the money. It’s always about the money at the end of the day.
In the end, Stewart at least assumed that Apple knew what his messaging was, how hard he would work to send that message and how many zero fucks he gives.
In the end, Apple tucked tail and hid behind dollars and made it obvious.
At least HBO gives this vibe of, yes, he wastes our money to create large animatronic eagles, but wedges in building websites to absolutely fuck with people to get his message across. Oliver has never mentioned HBO saying no to him.
I am also in no way defending HBO. They have done some gross stuff, too. This is simply an Apple vs. HBO argument.
This is not HBOs money, it's actually his
Yup. Fuck Apple. Fuck Blizzard... Man, there's a list now... Whose keeping track? Please post it.
Embracer Group.
Black Rock.
Goldman Sachs.
Let's make it difficult. Companies you LOVE but hate what they have done: Trader Joes Nintendo My favorite hot chocolate mixer with a "brand" name that has a cute website and social media and everything<-wholly owned by Nestle which is not mentioned anywhere in the label.
There are two iron rules to English grammar, and your comment is in contravention of them both.
I think we should give this one a pass. Remember the last one we talked about? Strung them up by their dangling participles and gave them a run on their run-on sentences.
