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!

Trump continuing to exist is woke
What isn't woke to these people?
I'll never be able to take anyone serious who uses the word woke seriously. It's pretty good, because you can instantly tell who is a pos online, but overall it's just too annoying. YouTube comments are bad enough as they are, but it's really hard to look at anything video games related. This game sucks because it's woke, wokeness ruins video games. Finally a game that is not woke. I just wonder where these good video games are, made by anti woke rightwingers.
Donald Trump (he is very sleepy)
I wish we could go back to the days when we got to see drawings and read the accounts of him just straight up passing out in court, and his lawyers doing everything they could to keep him awake. The best was giving him a pile of useless papers to riffle through like he was 3 and you just needed him to be quiet while on the call with your boss.
eepy
Anything that helps people who aren't wealthy is woke. Anything that helps the wealthy and/or powerful is not woke.
King Trump earlobe nibbler Ted Cruz has been whining ever since the infrastructure bill was passed about how these kinds of common sense provisions are “woke"
Lol
To be honest, we know the ISPs will find a way to waste all of those billions again like they have time and time before. They dump most of the finances into marketing to try and hype people that there will be affordable internet in their area for years, they don't deliver and then when the funds dry up, they beg for more.
From the article, there were some requirements to try to avoid that waste:
“ Like demanding ISPs provide at least one tier of service poor people could afford. Or encouraging networks built with taxpayer money be open access, which, as we’ve discussed at length, helps boost broadband competition and lower costs. As well as encouragement that taxpayer money be spent on the most future-proof technology (fiber) where applicable. Pretty common sense stuff. “
I presume funding or continued funding was contingent on these sorts of things, which is probably why they (republicans, corporate class ISPs, etc) didn’t like it.
without access to affordable high speed internet for the maga nuts in the cult, his populist base doesn't spread..
and instead, we'd be in that singular timeline where we're now one month into a tim kaine 1st term.
They are often vocal in person. It's not as effective a means of spreading, but it works.
Not when no one else is cooped up at home online.
Public humiliation is tried and true. Shit, bring back the tar and feathers for our public nuisances.
