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!

Vance too dumb to be a Russian agent. He’s just a Peter Thiel employee.
JD Vance like Ted Cruz is incredibly intelligent. He did quite well at every step of his academic career. He's smart he's just smarmy and willing to lie which makes him appear less educated which is intentional. Remember many conservative voters do not want people who appear smarter than they are so the smart ones have to play dumb.
Vance sucks but he's not stupid. He is just vile.
Please explain the leprechaun pants if you will
Awkward chair forcing the material of his pants to bunch up higher up this making it look like he's wearing floods.
Also, poor tailoring. All the broligarchs seem to be getting their suits a couple sizes too small these days. Idk why, it looks super dumb
Does he poop in diapers on this picture?
He's plenty smart in terms of verbal fluency and debate. However he lacks introspective capacity or moral center or empathy, without which he is simply an ambitiously sharp tool being wielded by others (like Thiel)
With the top of that food chain being Putin.
Never underestimate the stupidity of a pawn. Yet here we are, being forced to make the chess pieces and chess board for minimum wage.
Exactly. Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
