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!

In 2023, the Biden administration reached a settlement to help provide modern sanitation infrastructure to residents of Lowndes County, a predominantly Black county in Alabama. The Trump White House could not let this injustice stand.

It would be funny if the next Pope was Mexican.

I mean... this most recent one was Argentinian... Trump would have had him detained at the border and sent to El Salvador if he had come to the U.S. (allegedly)

Truish but he was still son of Italian parents. Nah, the next guy better be Ethiopian or maybe mixto...Chinese Mexican Pinoy African and pigmy. A true world leader made up of all the people's progeny.

Catholicism is still all bullshit though. But it would be best if the bullshit kept up with science.

The last one was Argentinian?

Of the top candidates Tagle is Filipino and Turkson is Ghanaian.

I feel like the real questions are going to be how they feel about LGBT issues, environmentalism, and Muslims. But for most red blooded ‘Muricans, it’s irrelevant. Even most American Catholics don’t really care what the Pope thinks.

The hottest porn stars are Filipino. Lulu Chu, Tia Tanaka, Tia Carrera, Evelyn Lynn, Lily Thai, Charmaine Star, London Keys, Asa Akira, Vina Sky, Clara Trinity, Mia Li, Ember Snow, Marica Haze, and hundreds more. So why not a Pope? Right?

Or African American? Or Mulato, or otherwise a "black" person or person of color. Uhh that would be a real juicy thing to do.
