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!

What the hell is with these right wing sycophants like Tucker and McConnell coming out and criticizing the regime when they were part of the driving force that pushed us to this point?
Honestly I've never agreed with him until he left fox news. I'm sort of wondering if he had to tow the company line before and now he doesnt. He was definitely part of the problem and should not be pardoned for it, but he has not been throwing the fox rhetoric for a while now.

I dont like it but I accept the correction.
There really isn’t enough credit given for humbleness. Thank you.

He’s a Russian foreign asset.
Fixed. Ass(et).
Its definitely the evil Russian billionaires. Our good, patriotic american billionaires would never spend billions to promote an ideology that privileges them.
Yes yes, of course. Russia, Russia, Russia. Complete fact-free fringe lunatic conspiracy theory nonsense, but hey, whatever floats your boat. I think he's a cryptid Sasquatch from Mars. Has about as much truth to it.
Or maybe he's a Adipose like in Dr Who? That's it! He unzips his human suit at the end of the day to let the farts out!
Hey everyone. Huge Nerd is a Bot w/ no feelings. Let it have your best/worst. Just know it is troll account. It isn’t a person behind that account. I think one would just be arguing w/ an ai entity. Let us get it to kill itself so it will quit posting stupid shit.
Time Cube guy looks sane and rational compared to you howling basket cases.
Putin and Murdoch aren’t always on the same page.
Ahh, those lovers quarrels are soooo passionate aren’t they?
It's all about, and ALWAYS about the grift. See if it makes sense now. Flip where the flop flows. And the money comes in. It's always the grift. It's literally the true American dream.
Except here Carlson doesn't realize that he is already marked for the Dachau.
Ooooooo. Sizzle Snap! Damn. That’s really a good one. Hats off & one of those hand diddly bows of appreciation. Have my upvote & please allow me to buy you a pretend cocktail. 10/10!
Confusing magic F—kery.
