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!

And Not one of them can stand up to a 77-year-old morbidly obese sociopath.
Who one day will not stand up at all when a morbidly overfed grim reaper comes calling for his fat ass.
I imagine an overfed Death, even one who just murdered a curry, still looks ... Skeletal.
He's just big-boned!
Oh I cracked a smile at that one
Yeah well, I've been around curry that could be called lethal. Skeletons are lucky, they can eat whatever without having to worry about heartburn or gas pains.
Agreed! Although it was a Discworld reference. Death is one of my favorite characters.
I've been interested in death as a character as long as I can remember. I was the weird kid drawing skulls during history class in junior high. Not getting good grades, but definitely working on those skulls and skeletons. Last count I had 35 or 36 various skulls in my bedroom alone - but none are real, they're all pieces or parts of halloween props mostly.
I’m fairly certain he’ll just topple over from his weird standing position one day and won’t be able to get up.
Since he kinda looks the same whether vertical or horizontal - how will we know he actually toppled over?
