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!

The department so efficient that it has two bosses.

Elon will probably cut Vivek and think it's hilarious.

What are the downvotes for? I mean I get it this is going to absolutely wreck everything in the most horrendous ways. But its not wrong information?

And Doge? For real? Again?

Remember, the social media attacks and misinfo start now. That’s Authoritarinism 101. You really should listen to the 1A speech. He wants moderation of social media to end, plans to require a court order to ban accounts, wants shadowbans (how does he even know what that is???) to end, and is stating he will set “his” DOJ on anyone trying to “censor” things in such ways. His plan is to pull 230 from YouTube if they moderate content at all.

Oh, and to punish any platform using the designation misinformation or disinformation.

Essentially ban the platforms from discussing him negatively without banning the platforms by simply flooding them with trash.

So I expect activity to that end to appear starting now and steadily worsen over time.

He plans to make it so while in office. Like Space Force but with more agency and damage.
