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!

Correct. I was confident enough of what was in it based on a bunch of these stories that I've read, to predict.
You can say that's unfair, which I guess is legitimate, but I was right. Once we started getting into details I read the article and it contains exactly what I thought it contained.
Or you were just being consistent with party messaging and decided to retcon it when confronted.
As I said earlier, I will not expect honesty from you ever again.
Some time back I compared the Biden State Dept to the Nazis; just today I posted an article from Ralph Nader which was the good-faith and productive version of what "the Democrats don't deserve our vote" is the not-sensible version of. (Basically, the Democrats need to listen better, and move to the left, otherwise they're going to keep losing and they deserve to)
You're free to think whatever you want, but I think you're much more engaged in putting me in a particular box than any substantive discussion. We don't actually disagree, as far as I can tell, on this factually at all. All these words have just been spent on you trying to put me into a particular box which isn't accurate. I honestly don't know exactly why you're doing that, but all good.
You keep acting like I'm talking about policy and not messaging.
