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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

This is wonderful. That being said, why are we linking to The Daily Wire?
Because it's an interesting story, irrespective of the source, and it's fun to point and laugh at Republicans and their hypocrisy.
Yeah, but we shouldn't be giving them page views and generating income for them.
This has already been addressed. Mods concurred that while this source leans right, it is for the most part an accurate source of information. As well, it's good to see what the other side is thinking.
It's not about what mods think, it's about not making money for them.
You vastly over estimate the value of your click. And even if everyone who upvoted clicked in, that's still less than a thousand page views. And if it really matters that much to you, turn on a dang ad blocker. In short, get over it.
Still you might as well use an archive of the webpage if it's available, there's not much reason not to
The return on investment for the effort is simply not worth it.
I mean, ok, do whatever you want but obviously it only takes like a minute lol. Not saying it matters much but to say it requires any effort isn't really true.
It sounds like you want an echo chamber?
What part of "don't make money for them" is unclear to you? Post an archive link to the article or something.
