As some of you may already know by now, the previous mod of this community got nuked for being a universally well known and .world-class troll.

Moving forward, I think id like to keep the idea of this community alive but with the caveat that the rules will actually be followed by those that moderate it as well- becasue as we all know, dictatorships aren’t any fun for anyone that isn’t the dictator. And the previous…. mod, was having WAY too much fun.

New Rules:

• if posting a link, the 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. Posts must be relevant to politics.

• 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.

• No trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. No hate speech, false accusations, slurs, celebrating death, or advocating violence. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning.

And now for the boilerplate disclaimery-type stuff:

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.

This community is about WORLD politics from all sides of the spectrum in any form- and from any country or region. It is not a community dedicated to support any one side of an argument, or any one country’s politics. All are welcome.

So please, feel free to post about what interests you, bothers you, or makes you feel hopeful about the current state or future state of your home.

Additionally, all forms of posting are welcome now. Wether that be direct links to news articles, video, memes, op-editorials, or written paragraphs on opinions of how things are handled, it’s all welcome- regardless of political affiliation.

So…. go nuts!

Just remember to be mindful of the rules. If it helps at all to simplify, remember:

Attack the subject, not the author.

Outside of that, Everything is fair game.

Enjoy!

An inconvenient truth for Jill Stein, the Green Party protest candidate for president, is that there are only two candidates who can win the presidency on Nov. 5, and she isn’t one of them.

The other inconvenient truth for her and her avowed progressive supporters is that every protest vote from the left against Vice President Kamala Harris is a vote for former President Donald Trump.

In early September 2020, wildfires tore through eastern Washington state, obliterating tens of millions of dollars of property, displacing hundreds of rural residents and killing a 1-year-old boy.

But then-President Donald Trump refused to act on Gov. Jay Inslee’s request for $37 million in federal disaster aid because of a bitter personal dispute with the Democratic governor, an investigation by POLITICO’s E&E News shows.

Trump sat on Inslee’s request for the final four months of his presidency, delaying recovery and leaving communities unsure about rebuilding because nobody knew if they would get federal help.
