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!

Let's try a brutal hipcheck next?
The truth doesn't matter to Trump, his cabinet nor his supporters. When will the media learn this?
This. They do not care about facts or logic unless it serves their agenda. Truth is wholly malleable to these lunatics.
That doesn't mean people shouldn't be fact-checking him. You won't sway the faithful, but you can knock some sense into the unaligned.
Fair point. But fact checking isn't exactly BRUTAL. The language of modern journalism rarely reflects the current state of US politics.
You're not going to get any argument from me about the scourge of sensationalized headlines.
Media won’t learn when the orange creamsicle is banning good journalist outlets that question the presidents motives, and allowing only puppet outlets.
Most of the journalists working for corporate media will be perfectly fine being puppets. They already are.
I guess you missed when they banned AP for using Gulf of Mexico, and added the "new media seat" to the white house press corps?
"Leavitt said that the seat will be shared among an ideologically diverse set of outlets, including Beltway news website Axios and right-wing outlet Breitbart, both of which have been represented for years at the White House without having a permanent briefing seat."
Corporate media doesn't give a shit, this is easy soundbites for them.
