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!

If you think insults are charity, it would appear that you’re the one who is confused.
Since you haven’t proven any of those accusation, this seems just another obvious insult and your inability to use the word “charity” correctly.
If you get this uncontrollably nasty just because an internet stranger said something that made you mad, perhaps it’s time to go outside for a break. Perhaps enjoy some nice herbal tea.
Best of luck with your emotional and vocabulary issues.
You may complain to a moderator, but the statement still stands. Assuming you are confused, is very charitable assumption to make about your stance. Your going to have to point out the nasty part of my comment
Perhaps you shouldn’t keep making assumptions. That doesn’t seem to be working out for you.
I try to assume the best of people. And my assumption was that you were wrong because you didn’t know better, and that you were not a tool. You are right, it hasn’t been the best guess i could have made.
All evidence to the contrary
Your first mistake, but, unlike you, I don’t get all nasty when people make those. Also, you haven’t really proven that I was wrong, either.
Nor was devolving into juvenile insults based off of hurt feelings.
Best of luck!
Calling another user AT BEST ignorant and at worst a useful moron definitely got your comment removed.
Arguing in bad faith and trolling gets this comment removed.
I’m not under any obligation to you, lol. YOU are, on the other hand, under an obligation to remain civil and obey the rules here.
And if imagining me being upset satisfies some sadistic urge for you, go ahead. I think it’s silly, but whatever.
Good luck on being a better person!

Your lack of self-awareness is not my responsibility to resolve.
I suggest that you take your own advice regarding your own ignorance.
