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!

This account is my last vestige of social media, so I don't have much to compare against, but weren't the bulk (all?) of the "[Adjective] Joe" accounts just straight up shills? I know I blocked most of them because they were single-issue, one-trick pony accounts, but I haven't seen the first one since the election. And not a peep of "[Adjective] Trump" from any of that particular peanut gallery, either.
I forgot where I was going with this, but I guess my point is that if we're lucky enough to have another election, and you see a bunch of single-issue accounts come out of the woodworks, maybe just block the fuck out of them, yeah?
You blocked them and now you're using the fact that you don't see similar posts from the people you say you've blocked to justify that your blocks were correct?
"I blocked the accounts I found annoying. Now I don't see them, so I can't see what they say now. Ergo, now they're completely in support!"
They're not sending their best, folks.
Delusional don? Terminal trump? Tornado trump?
trumpster fire
I'm stealing that lol.
Now that's good. Gives "Niro fiddling while rome burns" vibes.
Orange Julius.
Ngl one of the reasons I stick around this place as my final social media vestige is that there tends to be a lot of people who - and I mean this respectfully - are suspiciously similar to my own mind
Do you crave the taste of long pork too?
