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!

He's trying to appropriate the word. We're not gonna let him. Fuck off, orange man.
Fuck off WEIRD orange man with 34 felonies and dementia that's too old.
Don't forget rapist. He earned that title.
Yeah, you don't earn that title so much as take it.
Agree but he earned it in court and the public. "Rapist Fmr President Trump."
Rapist, convicted felon, and impeached 1 term former president Trump
Could add in there somewhere he lost the popular vote by millions.
They are trying in such a spectacular fashion to flip that word, it's embarrassing.
He did it with "fake news," which was initially about literally fake news sites spreading on social media that supported the Trump campaign in 2016.
Lmao that imbecile even says “weird” weird
Just like he's trying to appropriate the word coup by saying Biden was kicked out in a coup.
He uses it to soften his ACTUAL coup attempt during and after the 2020 election.
He's using it to kill the definition in preparation for what Repub Trumpanzees plan to do this year and the next.
I think that’s the origin of the “every accusation is a confession” effect. If there’s one thing they’re good at, it’s conditioning their base to ignore critics.
They keep failing at reappropriating the word because the things they keep trying to say are weird are remarkably normal to regular folks with regular families, and they wind up looking weird themselves for trying.
It's like if I said "Get a load of Bob, hugging his wife without her recoiling at his touch. What a weirdo, right guys?!"
