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!

God used flawed men like Noah and King David. Just because Trump has made mistakes doesn't mean we should turn our backs on him.
No /s, because that's literally what you'll hear in the coming weeks.
Noah got both his daughters pregnant. (Oops that was Lot, after god destroyed Sodom & Gamora for being cruel to poor people, and for some reason also killed Lot's wife)
The Bible calls King David a man after gods heart. Same King David that sent his bro (top general) on a suicide mission so he could steal his wife.
Just some context for peeps.
And these don't even tank top ten in the "worst shit committed by 'men of god' in the Bible". Hell it doesn't even make top 10 in the Old Testament.
And let's not get into nasty things done by messiahs against roadside fig trees
Nah, that was Lot.
And then god turned him into a pillar of salt... Oh, wait... that was his wife.
And happened before the pregnancies, IIRC.
Yea you're right.
O shit youre right
didn't lot's daughters get themselves pregnant using him, as revenge for offering them to a bunch of men
Nah, the story was that Lot and his daughters were hiding in the mountains, and the daughters decided that their chances of ever getting a man were close to 0, so they got their father blackout drunk and got themselves pregnant using him.
I don’t think it was framed as revenge, but that did also happen.
For wanting to ass-rape angels disguised as travellers.
Hell, that demon Bannon has already said it.
