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!

So. The person in charge of ensuring those under their care know how serious this is and is fighting with them.
Of COURSE the bully doesn't want that do, so the mayor us now under the gun.
This is not the United states my ancestors died for. It isn't the land I grew up in over 50 years ago, and isn't the country my son was born into.
before anyone responds all snarky while there's no sword of ICE over your heads like my wife has, don't want to hear it. I didn't vote for trump, did vote though, so no this isn't my fault, or my kids, or my wife's. Yes im in the streets and fuck off to anyone who isn't in the streets or protesting trump yet still has a bullshit reply.
It literally is, though. Trump isn't a new kind of president, he's a return to the nation's white nationalist authoritarian roots.
The founding fathers weren't interested in liberty and freedom, they were just pissed that they weren't kings themselves.
If not for Dunmore's Proclamation, Washington would have still been fighting for the British
The two were on good terms not two years earlier when Washington believed Dunmore would help him secure more territory in the Ohio River Valley.
