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!

Studies have not been able to prove that Jesus didn’t come back to earth as subsurface dragon, that is heating the ocean water around Australia, to destroy their coral reefs, to destroy tourism, to punish Australia for aggressive restrictions on firearms, because Jesus loves guns. Studies have also not been able to prove that Jesus doesn’t love guns.
But they have failed to show any correlation to even suggest causation.
Say it with me now: "You cannot prove a negative."
"Studies have not ruled out the possibility that the moon contains spontaneously generated cheese."
“Studies have not ruled out the possibility that a teapot, too small to be seen by telescopes, orbits the Sun somewhere in space between the Earth and Mars.”
Studies have not ruled out the possibility that my penis cures depression.
What about the research about it causing depression?
Oh, yeah. Loads of evidence.
Sample size too small to be statistically significant…
I wish (sometimes). That thing is like a dowsing rod for trouble.
Studies haven't ruled out that eating pasta is slowing down global warming
Studies have not ruled out the possibility that the worm ate his whole brain
Autism is better than deadtism
Depends who
It's even arguably better than measles as measles can lead to permanent deafness and cognitive impairment.
Agreed.
Studies have not proven that monkeys do not fly out of my butt.
One fucking study said there was a link and it was proven fraudulent. Every fucking study since then debunked it. Still, scientists are forced to keep wasting time continuing to debunk it
When the CDC said face masks wouldn’t help prevent the spread of COVID they were cooked.
Lots of good still there, but this shit is old.
That was a lousy thing to do. Likely done to keep face masks in stock for first responders, but still lousy.
Well exactly. And they could have just said that, but they went with a ridiculous lie instead.
It was rather interesting to see how learning that masks were more about protecting others impacted the behavior of your average Karen.
He simply can't let go.
