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!

Right after this next hit of ket
How big of a hot tub would you need to fit all the billionaires in the world in it at the same time?
Pretty sure a standard Olympic-size pool oughta do it. Wait, unless you mean the heirs as well. Then we might be looking at a small lake of some sort.
An olympic sized pool is two and a half million liters and since the average human body is about sixty-two liters you could fit forty thousand three hundred and twenty-two bodies in there with a blender and nothing would spill out.
Apparently there are three thousand and twenty-eight billionaires in the world right now.
Oh. Well there you go!
So you're saying we don't need to blend them...
We don’t need to but it would be better.
You take that back!!
There is always that need, ALWAYS.
Average human body? These are billionaires. More liters.
Don't know any billionaires you can talk to? Look up MLS listings and property tax listings for the most expensive properties in your area. Don't forget to knock EXTRA LOUD. Apparently they don't hear very well.
Charlotte when headlines proudly proclaim that scholars have discovered the painfully obvious:
I need Charlotte's take on more things.
She has some very strong takes on when a bowl is full and when it's cruelly lacking if you're interested..
I am!
Literally Hitler's playbook.
Trump lied people died.
Effectively it was stack the Supreme Court and lower courts to provide top cover, then use whatever means to get a majority and then move to rule by decree. It’s all illegal as presidents are bound by law but this one is protected by a rogue Supreme Court.
Oh good, the scholars have said it
"He mad sus yo"
It took scholars?
Hi all, I hope people hear this and the post is not hidden. This is an insecure system, and talking on here about things you want to or will do will be used by the regime.
Please take this as it is meant. I fully appreciate the anger and the pain you are all feeling, and you are totally right to fight, but you must fight smart.
DO NOT LET YOUR ANGER GET THE BEST OF YOU. If this goes the way it's looking like it might, direct fights with whatfever is left of the States' forces is suicide, and the good guys need all the boots on the ground you can muster.
There are many veterans of the war on terror who are literal experts on the tactics needed to win this; seek them out.
Assume all coms are monitored because they are. Look after each other, people.
A friend who knows the score.
I'm a scholar now!
Since when does Trump listen to scholars?
