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!

It's a funny idea, but I doubt anyone will do it. Printer ink ain't cheap.
That's why you fax it to them through an email gateway.
Plus, a huge number of printers (color laser printers, at least) include a hidden code in all your printouts that includes the serial number of your printer. That serial number can be used to find out what store sold the printer and to whom it was sold to. Odds are, with so many printers being on line now, they can probably track the printer down to what network/WiFi it's connected to.
Ostensibly, this is supposed to be used to catch counterfeiters and other criminals. But if you think our government is above using it to squelch public political protest then I have a bridge to sell you. If you print one of these up and send it to a JD Vance office, you might just as well be signing it, if you use your own printer. If they want to make a list of senders, they probably can.
I would recommend going to a store that makes black and white copies and send a copy. A black and white copy would not include the yellow dots in which the serial number is encoded.
/Yes, I'm paranoid, but am I paranoid enough?
Duh buy it at a garage sale then keep it disconnected and print away, or buy used from overseas. Lots of options.
I buy old retro tech maybe ill do it as a bit of a test. Ill set the return address to a McDonald's or something.
