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!

It's mind boggling how these pieces of trash are walking free.
America used to know how to deal with traitors.
[thinking about how Reconstruction ended]
Did it, though?
The fact that we’re already in litigation re election certification, before the election, should be bone chilling.
Seriously. The damage Trump’s fragile ego has done to our nation is incalculable but undermining the integrity of our free elections is at the top of the list. I fear I’ll never see a Presidential election where a Republican will concede their loss without throwing a hissy fit in the courts ever again.
And if Trump wins in November, I definitely won’t, because as he said at a rally in July, “Get out and vote! Just this time. You won't have to do it anymore! Four more years, you know what? It'll be fixed, it'll be fine, you won't have to vote anymore."
I feel like the term “thinktank” is misapplied here. It’s more like a schemetank or a ratfucktank.
McBurney is now my new favorite civil servant.
""To users of common parlance, ‘shall’ connotes instruction or command: You shall not pass!" he wrote."
McBurney to Republicans:
“Shall” and “may” are used a lot, especially in gun law.
For instance there are counties that have concealed carry permits written as “may issue…” and the sherif decides if a ccp will get issued, but others are written as “shall issue…” and the sheriff is forced to issue the ccp unless they can defend a valid reason against doing so.
What I’m getting at is the “may vs shall” argument has a lot of previous legal definitions.
That's why Gandalf didn't say "may not" to the Balrog.
And ‘You cannot pass!’ in the book.
There were books? Neat.
@AmidFuror @MicroWave @jordanlund @Brkdncr yeah after the movies did so well they made books out of em
Yeah I heard JK Rowling helped author them.
This is how all my work documentation is. There are "shoulds" and "shalls" in our processes. If you don't do a "should," you just need to have a good reason why not. If you don't do a "shall," you need a blessing from the person who owns the process, and someone else needs to agree that they accept all risk associated with not doing it, and they literally have to put their name next to it. It's a big deal, as it should be, because most of those "shalls" are there for safety
