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!

Check out the Podcast Knowledge Fight. They've been going over Tucker Carlson's podcast...and holy fuck, Carlsons gone off the deepend. Now that he don't have a team of writers, you get to see this dingus's true colors, and trust me, they are dark.
Seconded. After hearing their specific breakdowns of his “show” it’s laughable even Rogan would make that kind of statement. Well who am I kidding? It’s fucking Rogan so nm
Hey, he definitely still has writers. They're on loan from Ms. Johnson's 8th grade creative writing class but... They're putting words on cue cards and that's what counts.
I don't know why people listen to him. He acts like he's talking to children. It's so dismissive.
Because they're children.
Tucker is focusing on the low end of the bell curve.
The bell end
What are some examples of his true colours?
[Knowledge Fight] #816: Tucker, The Man And His Twitter- Episode 1 🅴 #knowledgeFight https://podcastaddict.com/knowledge-fight/episode/159086829 via @PodcastAddict
Check out the podcast. They go over Tuckers entire episode and break it down. Plus, it's just a fun listen.
His other episodes defend white supremacy, support Robert F Kenney Jr., and his most recent one attacks trans people.
I really want to listen to this pod, but my podcast time is usually for silly, fun things. Or maybe as serious as 99 invisible or Snap Judgement.
I'm glad this exists, but I'm never in a headspace for it
They're actually pretty upbeat and fun. They start the first 15 minutes talking about the bright spots of their week. It's also generally pretty funny which some more serious moments. You should really check it out.
