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!

How the fuck hasn’t the TSA stopped sexually assaulting people yet? Wild that you need to either have a naked picture taken of you by the government or get felt up by the government.
They can’t keep shivs out of prison, and they look in your arse in prison. Give it up. We’ve got the locks on the cockpit doors.
It's kinda like rehab being one of the easiest places to score drugs.
This doesn't make any sense. How is a lock on a cockpit going to oppress people? Think before you type.
I downvoted at first but then I rubbed the brain cells together
It's hard out here
( ͡º ͜ʖ ͡º)
Hard in yer asshole
Sometimes yeah
One of the things I’ve learned is that folks struggle with satire that is ironic or bitter rather than outright foolish. It’s like there’s a blind spot for ironic double speak.
It’s about 60/40 on whether someone is going to come along, miss the subtext, and lead a charge against your tone without actually giving your words a second thought or whether someone is going to offer support for or explain your statement.
Once that first response casts the die, you’re just along for the ride. No one else can see any perspective but that first interpretation.
A+, though. I see you.
Funny and sardonic.
Lol thanks homie. I refuse to add an /s or highlight that it's a joke because that's just comedy suicide.
Good looking out.
Are you illiterate? Dudes saying we dont need TSA theater bullshit because there are proper locks on the cockpit door.
Issa joke, we need the TSA because the locks cannot oppress people, like I wrote in my very legible comment
