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!

So you're a moron then?

In my youth I once did what this man is telling folks to do now, you know what it did? It made me want to stop people like him.

I just hope that enough people see all the crazy, and it motivates them to go fucking vote.

Sadly, the people that he's trying to appeal to will watch this and say "this guy gets it. Our country should be run as a Christian Theocracy like the Founding Fathers intended!"

(While, obviously, not knowing a single thing about the Founding Fathers.)

I know everyone is up in arms about this but, to me, it just seems.... I dunno, kinda sad? Like, his whole existence has been substituted with a single old book?

There's no room to grow or change or learn. It's just, like, "Everything I am is written down over there and that's it."

How small and petty and sad.

What a dumbass. Fairy tales for Bronze Age sheepherders is no way to run a modern society. This asshat is an actual young Earth creationist.

So sick of these stupid snake handlers getting paid attention to AT ALL, much less calling the shots for the rest of us.

So you agree with me then, that what goes into a man's mouth is not important but what comes out of it is? Meaning you're not allowed to be a racist asshole but you are allowed to suck dick? Because that is something I got from a quote from Jesus

Also tomorrow is Sunday and I I believe the house is still convening for that day. who exactly is going to be stoning you to death for working that day?

One more thing, given that some men are called upon to become eunuchs and should not be judges for it...

Given the classical definition of a eunuch, does this mean that you are now in support of transgender rights?

Oh and since we are not meant to put our faith in princes and a camel has a better chance of going through the eye of a needle than a rich man has entering heaven, can we officially put you down as having denounced Donald Trump as the Republican candidate?

I wanted to say for legal purposes, that I do not Advocate anyone Stone to death any member of congress, and that my statement was purely for satirical purposes. I denounce anyone who actually plans any domestic terrorist actions against any us official, no matter how Despicable the senator.
