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!

Why would you crowdfund a propaganda machine?
You’ll never rid the world of propaganda. That’s absurd. The question is whether you want the majority of the World’s population to listen to your own propaganda or the propaganda of your enemies. Which would you prefer?
I definitely would not want the majority of the world to read the kind of propaganda that says genocide is ok, would you?
Why would you deliberately crowdfund national propaganda?
I'll give them a penny from my will, like in the same way Tucker Carlson's mom left him a buck.
This is old news already. He's already done it.
Apologies, but the ‘old news’ argument sometimes seems to me to be a way of shutting down debate, not moving it forward. I agree Trump has done it - but the question is what is America going to do about it?
Who benefits most from shutting down Voice of America? In my view, it’s not the US tax payer, it’s Vladimir Putin.
I was saying the news is past tense already. But yes, there's already multiple discussions about it here as well, if that's how you want to take it.
