Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

This man is a WW1 vet. We should have some respect.

Don't forget that he also invented antibiotics.

If he’d killed Hitler like he tried to his mom might not have died in 9/11.

He might have been literally Rosa Parks

Iirc, He’s the only living veteran who served in both the civil war and WW1.

Had to double take...

Ah yes I remember when Rosa Parks was making six figures and fraudulently claimed a PPP loan

You've never seen George Santos and Rosa Parks in the same room though, have you? taps temple

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

A 13-count indictment against Santos was unsealed by the Department of Justice earlier this year for wire frauded, money laundering, theft of public funds, and false statements made to the House of Representatives.

Just like Rosa Parks, right?

I’ve seen the pics of him dressing up as a woman, so there is at least one thing they have in common ¯\(ツ)

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I thought he was Rosa Parks.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Had he ever been on a public bus? Doubt it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Rosa Parks is not similar to him.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sure she is. For one thing, they're both black women.

[–] gravitas_deficiency 4 points 1 year ago

Ah yes, of course, I see it now

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Ay hay hush that fuss, everybody move to the back of the bus.
