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!

Oh, Margie… I can't even defend you anymore. Your hateful, bigoted approach to politics was fun for a while. The howling and braying like a howler monkey or a donkey… it was entertaining. In a pathetic, white trash sorta way. Harassing high school kids who survived a school shooting made you a seeker of truth, if not just attention. Even when you couldn't read and mispronounced the word Cabal as Cable. And that one was in a documentary on HBO, you fucking dumbass. It was all fun and games. But now you've sold out to the RINOs because you've come to understand that you don't really matter. And that makes me sad, Margie. I was cheering for you and your clownish, boorish antics. I was right there with you! Except when I wasn't, which was always. Go home and fade into history, you shameless piece of shit. If I ever find out where you live, I'll shit on your front lawn. That last line was a joke. I don't advertise breaking laws.

No, it's obvious sarcasm as evidenced by how I ended the thing. But the internet makes obvious things non-obvious.

I thought this was copy pasta

Ah maybe it is. It does have that kind of meter to it.
