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!

Some real winners in my state. :(
Don't feel bad, we all have losers
I'm from Texas. 90% of the people here are shit.
When did we decide that politicians can say whatever the fuck they want without consequences? Same goes for “news channels”
When the fairness doctrine was removed and Republicans took more power in the 90s
THIS.
'We' didn't. Hence his being sued for it.
When their feet are held to the fire the copypasta response is "I was merely stating my opinion, no reasonable person would think it a fact"
Daily beast... why didn't you word the title
GOP Rep Sued For Falsely Claiming 'Illegal Alien' Was Chiefs’ Parade Shooter
Because they are two separate claims, both equally incorrect
fucking horrible sentence
police sued as they claimed person stole things, arsonist
In headlines, a comma is often used in place of "and", so it should be read as "GOP Rep sued for falsely claiming man was Chiefs' parade shooter and illegal alien"
Yeah I understand this. This particular headline reads like shit.
