For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.
Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only
▪️ Title must match the article headline
▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)
▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.
Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

Neutrality is not objectivity, when shit is genuinely just awful. Any objective reading of day-to-day events in The Idiot's regime amounted to screaming about how we just saw him commit another high crime out loud in public. Ambiguity was fucking scarce. Objectivity and professionalism in these circumstances would mean using The Idiot's given name, not calling his loyalty-driven autocracy a regime, and trying to politely phrase how everything he just said is factually wrong and clearly bigoted and also evidence for the prosecution.
If media wasn't influential, these bastards would not spend so much effort controlling it.
