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.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday prohibiting transgender women and girls from competing in female sports. The measure, called the “No Men in Women’s Sports Executive Order,” is the fourth executive order targeting transgender people he has signed since he took office Jan. 20.

It's always so cringe seeing children used as props and holding bigoted signs that they have no idea the meaning of.

Imagine going through a photo album later in life, seeing yourself holding a sign like that, and realizing your parents used you like that. I'd immediately make reservations at the worst nursing home I could find.

Also, he's been rumored and accused of being a pedo. It's not a great look regardless if you believe he's innocent or not.

Hey kids who wants a day off school‽ All you have to do is hold this sign!

Bold of you to assume these kids aren't homeschooled

Who's bright idea was it to surround him with little girls? I can't find American versions of this moment, but on a world broadcast, he was talking to a little blonde one specifically.

Because he's doing it for the children. You can get away with anything if it's for the children!
