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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

Reminds me of the interview where he learned that you don’t need to swear on a bible. It broke his head. His jaw was agape while he struggled with that news. That was a while ago and this moron is still in congress. Absolutely mind boggling that people like him hold as much leverage as they do over people’s well-being.
I’m not saying I could run the ball to the hoop, but I know there are more suitable people out there.
Do you have a link? I'd like to see that.
There are still just a whole lot of dumbasses that think America - a secular nation - was designed to be, and is, a xtian nation. This gomer is just one of them.
One of my favorite things to ask one of these types is to tell me where their little book club - or the protagonist of that book club - is mentioned in the Constitution. I've seen multiple cases of them shorting out over this. Most of them just flat refuse to believe me. Of course. I tell them to "do their own research" on the matter. 🤣
I think this is what they're talking about, it wasn't the same guy.
To be fair, they both have that ham faced look.
Thing about Kennedy that is so infuriating is that Foghorn Leghorn homespun salt of the Earth/local yokel act is even more ridiculous when you know he went to Oxford.
Holy shit, I agree with one of the first comments, "Flagging this video for depicting a murder".
JFC - "I know DAhnawld truhmp did it".
And oh, that attempt at the "Merry Christmas" dig at the end. Real sick burn, dude. FFS, these people. They use a fucking holiday as a way to really stick it to others, just like Jesus would have done.
I should have come armed with a link. My bad. I’ll see if I can dig it up at some point. It’s so awkward you nearly feel bad for him. His whole world looked like it was crashing down around him.
