For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.

Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only

▪️ Title must match the article headline

▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)

▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.

Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication-No Fox News or equal), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.

Rule 4: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.

Rule 5: Be excellent to each other. Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

Rule 7. No conjecture type posts (this could, might, may, etc.). Only factual. If the headline is wrong, clarify within the body.

To clarify: No "this might happen" or "this may happen" or this "could lead to" type posts. I hate having so many today, but it's the aftermath of yesterday.

Also, no Biden or Harris election posts. We are in a new timeline now.

I took over this site so I could post things factually happening and kind of keep track for myself. Please join in if you'd like, but I'm pretty strict about the vibe.

What he says is important to know. I’m mainly all done with the panel of newspeople all kvetching about it and trying to predict what might happen.

I agree with you. Unfortunately the mass amount of articles about him everyday are trying to predict what hes going to do. Or pretending to understand what he's said.

Usually, the "facts of the matter" appear relatively early in the article/video, and I can check out when the thread starts to wander.

When those facts of the matter are sprinkled amongst a bunch of thinly veiled rage bait all the way through, then you know you're looking at propaganda (I'm looking at you, NewRepublic).

It's more about the themes of what he says. Trump likes to use a door in the face strategy. He intentionally makes ridiculous statements and demands, that makes people more receptive to his actual request.
