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!

Have you watched a few hours of Fox? They have talking heads just blatantly lying about everything. It's insane. And these people only watch Fox, nothing else. It's the only place they get their info from.
I had to watch it for a couple days this week, and it was eye opening. It's seriously a full blown propaganda machine.
It's so fucked up when trying to talk to people that only watch their primetime peanut gallery propaganda shit storm...
I'll never forget a conversation with my dad about fox. I told him "I won't tell you not to watch Fox, watch it if you really want to, but stick to the actual journalist shows like Shepard Smith. The primetime shows are all opinion shows that just outright lie."
His response was "No, Shepard Smith is too opinionated. I prefer Hannity, he tells it like it is."
...the goddamn literal opinion show that has OPINION on the screen.
Have you ever seen the "comedy" guy? It's their version of a late night show, and holy shit. It's not only not funny at all, as in the jokes are legit not jokes, but it's incredibly mean spirited. It's craziness. The guy doesn't smile or laugh at all during the entire show. Zero expressions, except for a cold dead frown.
I tried to search for an image to reply with so I searched "conservative humor mean image" and the like 3rd image was Gutfield lol
