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!

The first photo when I Google the guy isn't all that far off...

He can't even smile. I wonder if he's ever laughed or been happy in his life.

Republicans are unable to feel empathy, love, or true joy. The closest feeling they can muster is the same thing a highschool bully feels when they steal someone's lunch money. Their world view makes a LOT more sense when viewed through the lens of a psychopath..

This particular photo makes me think he did the "grin and bear it" so long he forgot what smiling feels like, so now he has to inflict that on the world.

It never ceases to amaze me that so much evil is being carried out by people who are so cringey and stupid.

My brain forced that to into an acronym, RWBL, which my brain also pronounces "ruble", as in the Russian currency. Tin foil hat, engaged.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

It's a shittier RWBY

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

You just know people will treat or like ATM machine or PIN number and call it RWBL-Land
