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!

MODERATORS
"That includes you, moderate Republicans. Or should I say RINOs"
There are no moderate Republicans. They're all gone. They've been rooted out. You're either full MAGA or you have no political career.
No they've been wasting little time coming from all corners of the internet to shove in everyone's faces about their bastardized ideals. Troll activity has been on a bit of an uptick and will be continuing forward.
Ignore, Side-Step, Block. Do not give them a voice. They do not have a voice if you silence them personally to you. They hold no value.
I don't mind the media pointing out them being blatantly-lying shitstains though.
Brings up a question I've had on my mind. Maybe foolishly I want to hear what the other side is up to by listening to their podcasts but I also don't want my listens to bump their ad revenue or anything like that. Is there some way to "anonymously" listen to their content?
Search the internet for privacy friendly alternative front ends. There are several GitHub pages listing alternate interfaces for everything from youtube to twitter, reddit, etc. Here’s one such GH page.
They do not have a voice if you silence them personally to you. They hold no value.
They hold some value when their vote is why we’re having to even entertain this as a possibility.
Congrats, Americans.
Enjoy it.
We won't.
This is likely to extend to the rest of the world, so Americans won't be the only ones enjoying it.
Yeah, no shit. I wasn't fooled. This is the shit sandwich we will be eating for the next 4 years and beyond.
I read in another thread it was a parody account, but I can't verify that and this article is using it as the source. So it's real after all?
We'll see how much Trump like's being told what to do.
