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!

Absolutely refreshing 9-minute conversation that put Cooper on his heels, capped off with this:
God damn I hope we don't look back on these moments as our last chance before the dominoes started falling...
He should have followed it up with "He's already threatened to have broadcast licenses pulled from a news network that did nothing more than fact check him. What do you think he'd do to you and yours if you don't report positively 24 hours a day?"
100%. I can't imagine the conversations these news networks have behind closed doors. Do they honestly think a fascist who was just granted absolute immunity and already called them "the enemy of the people" WON'T shut their offices down if they criticize him? Are they that fucking dense?
None of that matters because they made more money last time he was in office.
Anderson, being gay, should be especially vocal.
First they came for the "illegals"
Etc.
He is on whatever list of lists they have.
He may not be first in line, but he will be.
Fascism wants only a certain kind.
Anderson is not that kind.
He’s rich and can just leave though. The rest of us are the ones who’ll have to deal with this shit.
He's a fucking Vanderbilt, he'll be fine
This is exactly the way Trump needs to be covered and while I don’t listen to Poscasts, it really makes me want to start.
Start with Cleanup on Aisle 45 instead of the Breakfast Club.
it's fucking absurd where we are 12 days from the election. the fix is in, and those who claim to love this country, clearly hate it. I don't care what happens in the election, this nation is cooked.
