We are all just feeding the rage machine right now. An entire class of people who just say snarky know-it-all things with no skillset making bank out of their ability to troll.

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!

… says the guy that belongs to a party that fears the freedom of love, and…. books.
The world has not ever known a cowardice of the level that conservatism has currently reached.
What's wrong with being poetic about your job? One would think it can possibly give you an edge of the true samurai kind?.. Something rather good for a military?
Tommy tubberville, Worst. Superhero. Ever. He will come up with stupid fantasies about how everyone will kill you unless you give your money to the rich.
Oh when I came back fronm Luang Prabang,
I didn't have a thing where my balls used to hang,
But I got a wooden medal and a fine harangue,
Now I'm fuckin' hero.
Mourn your dead, land of the free,
If you wanna be a hero follow me,
Mourn your dead, land of the free,
If you wanna be a hero follow me.
Toxic masculinity.
They want to take on China while running away from supporting Ukraine against Russia. The cognitive dissonance is unreal.
What if I presented my poem as a football field prayer?
"ANY FOOTBALL PLAYER WHO WRITES A POEM IS A GOLDARN FAIRY!"
-- Tuberville, probably

Tommy should be happy they're writing poetry on aircraft carriers.

Tommy Tuberville is the kind of cunt that would imply that strong people can't feel. Give me the poetic military members that will contemplate their actions, please.
