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!

I refer to my step-children "sons" & "daughter". They call me "Dad".
This just makes you look pedantic & pathetic.
I'm sorry no one loved you growing up.
Arrogant. As expected.
Arrogant? Last time I checked, you're the stupid little shit trying to police familial terms.
GTFO, you shit-tier wanna-be troll.
Ran away like an arrogant person would.
Man, at least put some effort into your trolling
No, Jaysyn.
I hope your parents didn’t actually spell it that way.
My mother doesn't have a mom and a step dad. She has a mom and dad. Her step dad is her dad, as far as she is concerned. Bio dad was just a sperm donor. Family is a choice, not blood.
As a step person I can firmly say that no one that is not my parent can claim me as their child.
That is the last thing a silly little troll like yourself needs to be concerned about.
Also, you are arrogant for doing so.
Explain?
Your account has gone fake. Just like you are fake.
If they are adults and asked you to call then son or daughter that is ok. But if they are children then you are arrogant for asking them to call you that.
I never asked them to call me anything. What's it like being such an unloved little troll?
Arrogant as expected.
Did they ever ask you to call the son or daughter?
Of course you didn’t. Arrogant.
So you admit that it's a personal matter that is none of your business. Maybe Jill and Hunter had that conversation at some point during the last 45 years and didn't bother to consult you about it.
Maybe or maybe not.
And I stand by my comments to all of the step parents out there who think it is OK to call their step children son or daughter.
you are arrogant for doing so.
So be it.
Next, you will say that your step children are “OK” with it. Like they have a choice.
LOL, triggered much, clownshoes?
Three of them are adults, they can call me whatever they want. Guess what they call me?
Sorry no one loved you growing up.
As adults they can call you whatever they want.
Yes, that's exactly what they said.
Sure thing. I am sure they all agreed to your decision to call them sons and daughters. That would be ok if true.
