Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

A brain-damaged man telling a crowd to vote for jonald bay hump is God's onion article.

I like that Trump wants to put this guy with CTE in charge of advanced missile defense systems.

It was either Herschel, Leon Musk, or Tim Apple

What's the chances trump calls him "Hershey" Walker before he dies?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

What are the chances Trump will even remember him after the election?

I feel bad for the guy. We know what CTE does and we know what his future will hold. If he doesn't die by his own hand after angrily beating someone who didn't deserve it, he's gonna go out confused, scared, and probably shaking horrifically.

But that doesn't mean he deserves anyone to vote for him. This isn't homecoming king for a feel-good story. Also, dude was kinda a dick before the repeated TBIs, so probably not homecoming king material either.

I'm a lifelong Georgia Bulldogs fan and used to hold Herschel in almost godlike esteem as a kid. And while I obviously have sympathy for his neurological plight and he clearly is being used and manipulated for political gain. He's also always been a small minded sexist and homophobic asshole which folks like me ignored for a long time. But those days are done, fuck Herschel Walker.

I thought his name was Uncle Tom?

I feel bad for the guy. I used to work in retail outside Dallas and he came in regularly. The guy couldn't really maintain a conversation, had difficulty answering open ended questions, and had to be accompanied everywhere.

I saw him running for senate in Georgia maybe a year later.

Republicans acting cruel once again.
