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!

Please let him fucking pick Noem - I'd love to see the entire GOP voting base placed on animal abuse watchlists.
IT'S A COMMON WAY TO TREAT PETS WHEN YOUR FAMILY TREE IS A WREATH YOU IGNORANT LIBTARD
Hadn't heard that one before. Had to think about it for a couple of seconds.
Upvoted.
Many of them are open white supremacists and a number of them are convicted insurrectionists. I like animals too, but animal abuser seems to be lower on the "horrible" list than those two other categories which are not only well represented, but celebrated among the GOP ranks.
Honestly, I put animal abusers in a lower circle of hell, along side child abusers.
It's about the power differential. The difference between a white adult male and a black adult female (for example) might be considerable, but its not going to be even close to the power differential between either of those adults and a child or a pet.
I fear more for minority children at the hands of white supremacists than an animal in the hands of a an animal abuser, and I like animals. To me there's a deeper depravity when a human looks at another human, seeing just the color of their skin, and decides that they are lessor or worse.
I would bet the overlap between animal abusers and bigots is significant, because there's a consistent lack of empathy and sadism required for both.
Yep. The dog probably thought it was about to get pets when she called it over to its execution.
Many, but not all.
It only takes a few percent of a political party to reject a candidate to tip the election one way or another.
I am so conflicted... On one side a serial tax dodger, rapist and traitor running with a literal puppy killer (and proud of it) and on the other side and older president who follows the law...
What is more American? Who should I vote for?
Ok, but what about this one issue that would get horribly worse if I pick the serial tax dodger, rapist and traitor? What then labdog!
Got'em!
Wait… people actually care about Biden’s toe nails?
Oh my corns!
