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-No Fox News or equal), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.

Rule 4: 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 5: Be excellent to each other. Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.

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.

Rule 7. No conjecture type posts (this could, might, may, etc.). Only factual. If the headline is wrong, clarify within the body.

The best meme thus far is the decrepit Rohan king and Wormtongue. Not because I think T was ever great, but it’s a better way to possibly, however remotely, denigrate Musk to more people.

Trump wants the be King Donald the First, and Musk is his Grand Vizier.

Trump does not know the term “grand vizier”

Probably, but I'd like it to enter the Zeitgeist. Musk, with his signature complete lack of self-awareness, would probably even lean into it.

Getting a billionaire to stop in influencing policy is Unamerican though
