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!

Millions of dogs and cats are eaten around the world yearly.
This is a fact, and we can come to certain conclusions.
Could you spell out what conclusions you take from that?
Yeah, I'm wondering about that too...
If I were to speculate...
Therefore immigrants are regularly stealing other people's pets and are eating them.
We can extrapolate this with anything.
I think ww can draw our own conclusion about this one...
I'd say one conclusion (yes, an assumption) I could make is that dogs and cats somewhere in America have been eaten.
Yepp, at some point at some time someone in USA has eaten a dog or a cat. But do Haitians regularly steal other people's pets and eat them? Very unlikely.
Probably not a common occurrence. Has it happened? I'm sure at some point.
You're an idiot.
Lol. Way to illustrate that you don't understand what's going on here.
On a post about Trump saying that Haitians are taking other people's pets and eating them, you said:
You can't blame people from thinking that you are inferring that Trump is telling the truth.
But we've come to the conclusion now that Trump is indeed lying and Haitians aren't stealing people's pets and eating them. Has it ever happened anywhere? Very possible. Is it currently happening in Springfield? No.
