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!

Done dealing with bad faith actors/questions. You don't want people to say mean things to you? Stop doing the work of the fascists for them. "Just asking questions" while trying to paint people in the worst light possible. gtfo with that shit, fucking Putin bootlicking pos.
"Wow that says a lot about you" says the guy who wouldn't just watch the video to confirm his stupid question. Because you know the answer.
Go cash that russian paycheck while you can bro. That money isn't going to be worth much for long.
Woah kid, take it easy don’t let your emotions dictate you. Didn’t know asking a question was punishable nowadays.
Idk who you’re calling a Trump and Putin supporter when in fact I despise those two, their negatively effecting my life just as much as yours.
I just asked a question because I hadn’t watched the video yet and don’t know when I’ll get to. I saw the thread on front page and figured I’d ask—wasn’t trying to push any agenda. Calling me a “bootlicker” just for asking proves my point: this is the same knee-jerk reaction as when some Republicans call people “commies” just because they don’t like what they hear. I swear both sides don’t know how to be rational.
Man I’d hate to be the child to ask you a question you don’t like cuz they don’t know how to phrase it or are curious.
