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 deleted my comment. I projected my emotion and criticized an article I hadn’t read. After reading it, it makes sense. Just tired of clickbait I guess.
Wow that’s character growth you won’t see in the other site. Good job
I lurked on Reddit for years and watched the shit show. I’m only commenting on Lemmy to help it grow. Amazingly, I realized after a couple of days of commenting that people were just venting their emotions/ fears into comments. I would read a comment, get angry, and respond. Then after a while, I would read the comment again, and see it in a completely different light. I understand now that sometimes people can be assholes just because they didn’t eat breakfast.
Don't you DARE call me an asshole who didn't eat breakfast. I can prove without a shadow of a doubt that I did, in fact, eat breakfast, and here's peer reviewed research to back me up. You're such a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit.
How dare you show me a stock image of "Irish Weekend Fry-Up served on a plate " and pretend that that was your actual breakfast!! I bet your so-called "peer-reviewed research" is just as false and useless as your non-existent breakfast!!
[Also, now I'm hungry. Guess I should've eaten before commenting .... ]
As an American, I'd freaking KILL for a full English brekky right about now.
Oi, bruv, lemmy get sum of that English brekky too bruv, looking right delicious innit 🇬🇧
Yeah, but English baked beans.. bluuuuuurgh
And for some reason I want eggnog. And Tylenol.
Best I can do is a jelly of the month club. It's the gift that keeps on giving year round.
Disappointing. At least the shitter’s not full.
Hallelujah, holy shit! Where's the Tylenol?
Love that movie. Favorite holiday film ever.
Hey, it could be worse — at least he's not Chevy Chase!
I agree with you. It's refreshing to see.
Damn. World needs more of you. ❤️
Thanks. This is my philosophy. Always choose kindness.
