- 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 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.

The reason is to distract from the Epstein files
USA has proven they do not care about the Epstein files. Even if those files were released unredacted, it would not make any difference.
Not the USA, but MAGA. MAGA is in control now, but when the new Democratic Warriors take over, things will be changing. The next wave of Dems are not going to be the same weak, insipid, cowardly, POLITE Biden/Schumer Democrats that got us here, they are going to be angry, and nasty, and vindictive, which is LONG overdue.
Dems are going to have to get used to their elected representatives being brutal toward our MAGA enemies. Don't expect politeness.
are those "warriors" in the room?
Oh boy, I hope so, but I think I've heard this one before. Far too Democrats falling back on "civility" and Murc's Law horseshit and just general bothsiderist awfulness.
It's almost like they haven't noticed that the Republicans have been working to divide America and be more nasty and partisan since the 90s (see Newt's GOPAC and "Language: A Key Mechanism of Control" for the smoking gun for any Enlightened Centrist (TM) that wants to argue otherwise).
while we're dreaming, here's the Easter Bunny....
Democrats are in government, and they have proven as useless as a bible in the Whitehouse.
Haha nice one.
