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!

“I heard on the news that Congress wrote a report on how corrupt Biden is”
2 hours of Biden ad-homs
It doesn’t need to have anything more than a headline to work for those people.
Yup. Or trump tweet/email. I legit used to go to work and be like "wow people sure are talking a lot about unemployment today" then later get on reddit and see trump tweeted at like 3am about how low unemployment is under him or some such shit. It happened a lot. I could tell what was fox news theme of week based on the chatter. Getting him off Twitter helped a LOT with that though
I think it's dangerous too that so many people seem to laugh at and treat it like it's dumb that these GOP senators, congress, and other positions of power say or do this dumb shit. They aren't dumb, they know what they doing clearly. All you have to do is look and see how ramped up citizens are and FFS they have people willing to kill for this crap they are pushing. I get why it is amusing but at the same time I hope people realize it is definitely, always, way more than that.
