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!

Robinson is a far right, born again Christian culture warrior. This is newsworthy because it’s extremely hypocritical of him.
Not that hypocrisy is new to Robinson. He also said
after having paid for his wife’s abortion.
He has said that trans women should be
He has also said that “some people just need killing” in a speech where he railed against a variety of evil people including rapists, liberals, socialists and communists.
He is thoroughly a piece of shit, and unfortunately there’s a chance he’ll be the governor of North Carolina. With an extremely Republican state legislature (currently a supermajority), he would be able to make life miserable for a lot of people.
What are the odds he's also against "public indecency acts" like peeing in public and would gladly have them strung up for what they're doing to children's poor innocent widdle eyes?
Still, people shouldn't be downvoting sinkingship for the first thing that should come to mind. Because generally, who cares?
The hypocrisy and context needs to be here for this to be a story.
For anyone familiar with US politics, him being a hypocritical weirdo pervert is the first thing most of us think of.
For people like sinkingship this is strange and baffling. For the rest of us, it's Wednesday.
Also, the context is in the subhead and the beginning of the article...
