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!

Former president and current presidential candidate who attempted to disrupt the election process in Georgia following his 2020 loss in the state has already filed a lawsuit contesting the state’s early voting process. Campaign organizers and Republican supporters filed a 21-page lawsuit in Savannah, arguing that county offices illegally collected early voting ballots over the … Continued
Lawsuit season has begun.
Penn and now Georgia. Before election day.
It's going to be an aggravating week.
This trashhat needs to be gone already.
I'm pretty sure it's all part of the plan. They want to drag it out past the date that results need to be certified in as many states as they can so they can try to force the vote to go to the house of representatives where each state gets one vote and with 26 Republican controlled states that means they get to install Trump as president...
Some have speculated that's what Trump was referring to as "his little secret with speaker Johnson" :/
That's serious resistance worthy, in my opiniom. It's a straight facist manouver to stretch the law and good faith to install yourself. You have to fight facism.
Definitely possible. They've even said said that last time they didn't have a plan. Meaning they do this time.
It's going to be aggravation into next year. Maybe longer if the rednecks really do start shooting.
Please dont associate us with the yuppie whitetrash, reminder a lot of the folks at Jan 6 were suburban petite bourgeois chucklefucks. Most right wing Rednecks have enough sense to stay the fuck away from that type of shit, mind you they will do dumbfuck guerrilla warfare roleplay but they usually get bored after a week.
Yea, I dunno. There's the salt of the earth guys that are both super friendly despite being conservative, then there are the raging asshole type.
I don't know how to distinguish between the two at a distance if I can't see how covered in Trump shit the owners truck is.
Generally speaking ive found that a good probing question is to ask them about their opinion on tech. Generally speaking conservative but not an asshole dont care one way or another, conservative asshole will start verbally blowing Musk and/or techbros, and progressives/uncaring will go on a psychotic rant about how much they hate modern tech trends and how they want to kill Musk for being stupid. Mind you this largely only applies to Rednecks proper IE not just rural being called redneck, usually American Scots Irish folks are Redneck or a generation away from becoming ones.
Interestingly what a chuckle fuck is exactly what I thought when I read this article.
One of my older siblings favorite turns of speech.
I felt like changing it up, use profligate and piss weasel a bit too much.
I'm going to go ahead and put piss weasel in my pocket for later.
If ya want another ive got shot gibbon as well.
Piss weasal is great lol
Eh, we'll see.
