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!

Newsome should sue Fox News for a billion over this.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 weeks ago

22 billion at least

How do you manage to misspell "Newsom" when it's right on the title?

Newsome

Autocorrect thinks it is

[–] [email protected] -4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Only if you train it by misspelling Newsom like that.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

It's nice that you have such faith in autocorrect

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

Generations of ducks disagree with you.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

It has the quality of being new. It's newsome!

[–] phoenixz 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And is it really necessary to make a big deal out of it?

[–] [email protected] -4 points 2 weeks ago

Is it such a big hassle to simply spell people's names correctly?

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

But it could be the spelling of one of their contacts’ names

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I literally don't give a fuck

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

Then why engage?

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

Newsom. Newsom. Nope, not even a suggestion of the one with the e.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

"Newsom" and also "sue"

Edit: Let's see if anybody can guess the OG typo the below image was based on.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He won't. He is, at his heart, a coward and a corporate shill.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago

Fox News and Love Island…can’t believe people still watch either.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Is It just me, or is this a very badly written article? I read it twice and it makes no sense to me. I understand the article is trying to ~~day fix~~ say fox news it's trying to be manipulative, but it's not clear in what way based on what is written. No context is provided. They mention the time the call takes, in Newsom's and Trump's local times like that helps when we don't know when the fox segment airs, nor when Trump's claim of calling newsom.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago

Probably written by AI. I'm seeing a LOT of AI news stories these days.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

...trying to say Fox is manipulating the quotes to falsify facts...

I'm pretty sure this is what you meant to type because it's completely on-brand for Fox News

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Fixed, thank you. Typing on my phone degrades the quality of my writing significantly.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, most of my comments have asterisks because I see the typos and autoincorrects only after hitting save

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

It's so bad for me sometimes. Somebody actually commented to a other poster saying I'm probably drunk commenting and thats why I make no sense. Nope just sober and not as responsible as I should be in reviewing my comments lol.
