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!

It was December 21st 2012. The Mayans were right. A timeline ended and were falling into some clown mirror black hole ever since or something.
I thought everything went crooked the day Harambe died
The Cubs won the world World Series.
Naw it UGA winning back to back titles after the Braves. The lack of championships in the state of Georgia was holding reality together
Peanut is the new Harambe.
That racist ventriloquist's racist ouppet?
What?
What the fuck is that?
Jeff Dunham's racist puppet, "Peanut".
For many it was when Harambe died...
For me, it was when David Bowie passed...
And for many others, it was when Taco Bell got rid of Baja sauce.
There's a reason I haven't put my dick away since then...
When does the current Mayan calendar period end?
Well after current human civilization ends.
I thought 2012. Wasn’t that the point?
Yeah but it's ended before. It then starts the circle again at year 1. I think I remember that it was a really long time frame.
Yeah, next one is on March 26, 2407.
also the meaning isn't even "end of the world" there are at least three calendars the classical Maya used on a daily basis, how serious they were about cycles, or what would happen isn't evident, we know their religious leaders would postpone 50 year cycle holidays if it was a poor year to celebrate, famine, plague that kind of thing.
